Just started with their service this year from another well-known local business after many years of frustration with them. That’s far everything has been excellent. Anytime I call I get a prompt answer and courteous Service. I’ve been having some trouble spots in my yard and Kris the field operation supervisor came out and took pictures of the lawn and gave recommendations about the trouble spots and compliments on other areas of the yard that I’ve been working hard to look good. when the Tax come to put fertilizer down, they spend a lot more time on the property and seem to be more detailed oriented
Don't schedule your koi pond cleaning with this company. You will be aggravated and disappointed
I was quoted 90 for aeration and 10 for seed (which I hought was low). They did the work and got an invoice for 200. I probably would have hired at 200, but I won't do anymore business with them. Get estimates in writing.
Guys were professional.and friendly , they werre quick and did excellant job at excellant price
Jose and his crew did an excellent job. They installed a new drainage system in the back yard. They were very professional and did a nice job. We would have them do work for us again.
Kayla from Green Acres worked on our lawn today. She did an excellent job. Green Acres has never disappointed us.
Would not recommend this lawn care company at all. The grass was cut uneven, they scalped parts of my lawn, and left clumps of grass everywhere. They completely skipped edging in some areas and even damaged part of my flower bed with the mower. The workers seemed rushed and careless, and customer service didn’t do anything to fix the issue. For how much they charge, the quality was terrible. I expected professional lawn care, not a rushed mess.
Gunnar did a great job. Very friendly and respectful. Thank you Greenacres.
Green acres did a great job plugging and overseeding my trampled,compacted lawn Tech.Lovell Carpenter and helper were awesome to work with. I would definitely recommend Green acres lawn care. Thanks again Scott
I hired this company & paid them almost $4000 to spruce up my yard in 2025 & 1 year later I have dead bushes & dead patches of grass, exactly what I hired them to fix! The company is not interested in following through with their guarantees! Very disappointing!!
Kayla did a fantastic and thorough job spraying for mosquitoes today over the service we used lasted year. I am very impressed!
Casey was amazing, I went out to talk to him and we had a good talk. So far I'm impressed with the great care that he takes with my lawn. Keep up the good work
Gunner was very friendly, and informative! It was a pleasure to deal with him, and we hope he will also do our remaining weed killing! We may also need your company for other services; will let you know. Thank you Very Much...Gerlinde and Albert Hladeck...too early to tell how all this worked; we hope for the best!
Green Acres has been an outstanding lawn service company. They worked with on scheduling aapointments and always stayed on track. They always communicated any issues with me directly. Their products....service and employess are outstanding. I love telling my family I have the best yard in the neighborhood. I would suggest their services to anyone looking for a lawn care service. Our tech Kayla is pleasant and always available if we have questions. She's a great asset to the company.
Gunner did a great job. I've been very happy with the entire Green Acres crew so far. My lawn is looking great.
Nate took the time to listen to my questions and explain exactly what he was going to do today.
Thank you Nate! Called and scheduled service yesterday, and they showed up today as they said they would. Really impressed, and would highly recommend Green Acres to anyone looking for lawn care.
Outstanding Lawn Care Service – Highly Recommended! I had a great experience with Green Acres Lawn Care. Eduardo was extremely friendly, professional, and took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. You can tell he really cares about providing top-quality lawn maintenance service. My yard looks fantastic after the treatment, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for reliable, professional lawn care services near Sycamore IL I highly recommend Eduardo and Green Acres. Great customer service and excellent results – I’ll definitely be using them again!
Jakub was pleasant and did a very thorough spraying of our lawn for weeds. We’ll definitely be using Green Acres to keep our lawn healthy and beautiful. The prices we were given for the maintenance we requested were very reasonable and we look forward to seeing a beautiful healthy lawn this year. Hopefully Jakub will continues to be the person to return throughout the year.
Hey Jakub! The weeds look absolutely DEAD! ☠️ Thanks for doing such a great job.
Friendly took a few extra minutes and talked with my Mom it made her day..Weekly service is quick and they clean up very well..
I requested and appointment on the website. Ryan called a couple of days later to schedule an appointment. When the designated time came Ryan did not show. I called the office and they told me they would call Ryan and call me back. Ryan did not show and the office never called me back.
Kayla took the time to have a conversation about my lawn and she gave extra attention to the areas I was most interested in improving.
We have been very happy with his work. They have done spring cleanup and mowed our grass and our yard looks fantastic! He communicated with me on what I wanted done. Very thorough.

Yes, our lawn care professionals can visit your property to conduct a comprehensive assessment of your lawn and diagnose any issues you're experiencing. Whether you're dealing with bare spots, patchy areas, poor growth, or other lawn problems, our team will personally examine your lawn and identify the exact cause along with tailored recommendations for improvement.
What to expect during an inspection:
- Our lawn care manager will assess both front and back yards
- They will identify specific issues and their root causes
- A soil test may be ordered as part of the comprehensive assessment
- You'll receive tailored recommendations based on findings
Scheduling and communication:
You will typically receive advance notification about the upcoming inspection. If you submit diagnostic photos beforehand, our team will assess the problem and determine the appropriate specialist to send. Depending on the complexity, an inspection can usually be scheduled within the next week.
If you're just starting treatment with us, we may recommend waiting for additional fertilizer applications before conducting a comprehensive assessment, as initial treatments are crucial and results require time to become apparent. This ensures we can give you the most accurate evaluation of your lawn's response to care. Contact us to schedule your lawn inspection.
We stand behind our weed control program with a 200% satisfaction guarantee. If weeds remain after treatment, here's what we offer:
Timing: Wait 1-2 weeks after your treatment before assessing results. If weed issues continue beyond this window, we're here to help.
For customers in our full six-round seasonal program: You have access to free service calls to re-spray and remove any persistent weeds at no additional cost. Our technicians will address problematic areas until you achieve a weed-free result.
How it works: Our weed control program requires two pre-emergent treatments for full effectiveness. If weeds persist after completing these applications and the waiting period, simply schedule a service call with one of our technicians to handle the remaining issues.
We guarantee a weed-free result with our program—your satisfaction is our priority. Contact us to discuss your weed control needs.
We offer a six-application lawn care program that runs throughout the season, beginning in March. Each application is priced at around $66. While we offer a minimum of four applications, we recommend the full six-treatment program because we cannot guarantee weed prevention with fewer treatments.
What's included in each application:
- The first two treatments include a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent annual weed seed germination
- Subsequent applications occur approximately every four to six weeks
- We use a granular, mostly organic fertilizer that is gentle on your lawn and does not cause burning
- The fertilizer requires rain or watering to activate and penetrate the soil
Program details:
- Our comprehensive six-step program includes free service calls
- Backed by a 200% satisfaction guarantee
- The number of applications you receive depends on when you sign up—if you join mid-season, you'll typically receive around four applications
- If you sign up now, the second round will be completed within two to three weeks to align with our standard application schedule

Our current landscaping service scheduling is typically 3 to 5 weeks out, depending on several factors:
- Current seasonal demand
- Specific project complexity
- Weather conditions
You can expect your project to be completed approximately 2 to 6 weeks from scheduling, with most services being scheduled by late summer or early fall. The precise timeline may vary slightly based on our current workload and seasonal considerations.
Key points to remember:
- Schedule your landscaping project well in advance
- Expect a wait time of around 3-4 weeks
- Actual completion might range from 2-6 weeks depending on current conditions
We recommend early booking to ensure your preferred project timeline, especially during peak landscaping season.
Our quotes are typically valid for 30 days, with some important considerations:
- Standard quote validity is 30 days from initial proposal
- If you sign up and schedule work within the current year, we'll honor the original pricing
- Pricing may be subject to change based on material cost fluctuations
We recommend accepting the quote sooner rather than later to lock in current rates, especially if we are considering potential price adjustments in the near future.
