Services
Lawn care is our specialty. Emerald Lawn Care will provide the lawn care necessary to make your lawn lush, green, and weed-free. If you are looking for the best lawn care service in the Northwest Suburbs, you've found it. We use professional grade, slow release, granular fertilizer to provide a steady supply of nutrients to your lawn.
We use only slow release granular fertilizer products, unlike some of the national lawn care companies who use liquid fertilizers so they can apply multiple products in a single mixture. We use slow release fertilizer to provide steady availability of nutrients, to reduce the chance of burning your lawn, and to reduce leaching.
Liquid applications of broadleaf weed control are generally done once in May and again in September. These broadcast applications are the most effective way to deal with dandelions, clover, and a host of other broadleaf weeds. We will also spot treat weeds as needed while doing fertilizer applications.
There are two approaches to grub control - preventative and curative. Prevention is usually done in June and early July, while curative is done when the grubs are actively feeding in the fall. Both are granular insecticide applications that should be watered in shortly after the application is made.
Emerald Lawn Care is a full service lawn, tree, and shrub care company. Our ISA Certified Arborists welcome the opportunity to discuss any problems you may be having with your trees and shrubs and will provide a proposal to advise you how to best care for them*.
We don't automatically recommend treatment for your entire landscape but instead take a more conservative approach using preventative applications as appropriate and curative products when an actual issue is identified.So give us a call today and let us give you a quick education on your trees and shrubs!

We’ve been using Emerald for 2 years now and we’ve never looked back. They are responsive and provide professional guidance and the services that we need to keep our lawn healthy and beautiful. The staff are friendly and informative. Our neighbors always compliment the full, deep green of our lawn. Two of our neighbors have switched to Emerald once they saw the significant improvement to our lawn and heard about the excellent customer service. Emerald is not the cheapest but they are the best and worth the extra money!

I have had experience with other weed control services with unsatisfactory results. Emerald Lawn Care has been a pleasure to work with; my lawn never looked better. The service is well worth the cost and it has been a real joy to communicate with them as they have proven to be very courteous and responsive to my inquiries. I look forward to continuing the service in the seasons to come and will happily recommend them to friends and neighbors.

Our lawn was dead. I was ashamed and embarrassed. We had grubs and chinch bugs that made things even worse. After numerous recommendations by neighbors, I contacted Emerald and spoke with Dave, who laid out the plan and then followed through beautifully. He explained that it was a team effort and after about a month's worth of watering...our lawn is thicker than ever and is the envy of the neighborhood. I enjoy mowing the lawn again thanks to Emerald!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
I went with Emerald Lawn Care because I was EASILY able to speak to a knowledgeable and friendly rep in the local area. With my first year just about up, my lawn looks better and I fully expect to re-book with them for next season. Good value, good local people.

Emerald Lawn Care has a solid reputation for across-the-board quality, and I can now see why. I was very skeptical about reseeding our troubled lawn, but 4 weeks later, the results were great. Used them for fertilizing and weed control as well. Very glad we chose Emerald for all of this, and you should too!
