Yes, we're planning price increases for the upcoming year. Here's what you need to know:

When Increases Take Effect:

Price increases are scheduled to begin January 1st, primarily affecting our fertilization and weed control services, along with labor rates.

How Much Will Prices Increase:

Any increases are typically minimal—usually just a few dollars—depending on product and labor costs. The exact amount isn't finalized until after January when we purchase products for the upcoming year.

How to Avoid Higher Rates:

We're giving customers options to lock in current pricing:

• Prepay for services in full before the new rates take effect

We recommend reaching out early if you'd like to take advantage of current pricing before January 1st. Contact us today to lock in your rate.

Payment Options:

• Monthly payments for flexibility
• Prepayment option, which saves you 3% on your total cost

Service Scheduling:

Once enrolled, we schedule services on different timelines depending on the service type:

• Fertilization and weed control applications are typically scheduled within a week for your first service

• Other services are scheduled on a day-by-day basis

Year-Round Availability:

You can sign up anytime, whether you're looking to start immediately or planning ahead for next year. We typically send reminders in January and begin services in March, weather permitting. Our services are available year-round, so feel free to reach out whenever you're ready to schedule.

Ground stake lighting costs vary depending on your specific installation and how you're adding it to your service:

• One-time addition to Christmas packages: $140–$210 — This is the cost to add ground stake lighting to an existing Christmas decoration package. The initial cost is typically $140, though some installations run $210 depending on scope. Starting the following year, your monthly service price will be adjusted to account for the ground stake lighting.
• Landscape bed installation: $245 — For permanent landscape bed lighting installations.
• Comprehensive driveway bed lighting: $360 — This includes lighting for flower beds on both sides of the driveway, covering both the smaller bed on the right side and the larger bed on the left side.

Features:

Our ground stake lighting features LED lights that can be changed to different colors on site, giving you flexibility in your design. The exact cost for your installation will depend on the number and size of beds you want to light and whether you're adding this to an existing package or installing it as a standalone service.

Our comprehensive lawn care program consists of six annual applications, strategically scheduled approximately every 4-6 weeks throughout the year, beginning in early to mid-March based on local weather conditions.

What's Included in Each Treatment

• Granular Fertilizer: We apply a slow-release, mostly organic granular fertilizer that nourishes your lawn throughout the month. The granules remain on the lawn until activated by water or rain, which carries the nutrients to the root zone to enhance grass density and promote overall lawn health.
• Weed Control: We apply targeted liquid weed control treatments. Rather than blanket spraying, we selectively spray individual visible weeds, which is more effective at eliminating the entire root system and preventing regrowth. For yards with extensive weed coverage, we perform full-yard weed treatment as needed.
• Pre-Emergent Treatments: The first two applications include pre-emergent herbicide that creates a barrier to prevent annual weed seeds—particularly crabgrass—from germinating.
• Seasonal Adjustments: The third, fourth, and fifth applications focus on essential nutrients and soil conditioning. During hot summer months, we carefully manage nitrogen levels to help grass withstand heat stress.

Safety and Drying Time

After liquid weed treatment is applied, we recommend waiting 1-2 hours for the treatment to dry before allowing children or pets on the treated lawn. Once dry, the area is completely safe.

Pricing

Typically around $58 per application for the standard six-application program. Some customers opt for a minimum four-application package at around $50 per treatment depending on your service package.

Additional Features

• Advance Notification: You'll receive email and text message notification one day prior to each scheduled application.
• Complimentary Service Calls: If weeds persist after our treatments, we offer complimentary service calls to address the issue.
• Free Supplemental Spot Treatments: During high weed pressure periods, particularly in summer months, we provide free supplemental spot treatments.

Lawn aeration and overseeding is a fall lawn care service that improves your lawn's health and appearance. The process involves two complementary steps:

Aeration uses a specialized machine to remove small 2-3 inch core plugs from the ground, which decompacts the soil and improves penetration of air, water, and nutrients to the grass root system. This is especially important in regions like Illinois, where grass experiences annual die-back and doesn't naturally spread.

Overseeding involves spreading approximately 2 pounds of grass seed per thousand square feet after aeration. The seeds fall directly into the aeration holes, promoting easier germination and helping to fill in thin or brown areas. This process reduces weed growth by introducing new, healthy grass and enhances overall lawn thickness.

Pricing varies based on property size:

• Small properties (front and side yards only): Around $140 total
• Typical residential lawns (25,000-26,000 sq ft): Around $500 total
• Full properties (front and back): $130-265 for standard service
• Large properties: $400-1,000+ depending on size and custom options

Most customers see initial results in the fall, with full lawn restoration visible in the following spring. The effectiveness depends on soil compaction and existing bare spots, and multiple treatments may be necessary to fully restore lawn health. Payment is processed the day after service completion.

Yes, we provide free estimates for holiday lighting installation at both residential and commercial properties. We're flexible in how we assess your project and can work with your schedule and preferences.

How We Measure Your Property:

• Satellite and street view imagery: For most roof lines, we can provide estimates using Google satellite imagery and street view to obtain measurements. We typically start with the front roof line, and if your property is on a corner lot, we can include the side facing the other street as well.
• In-person assessment: If the roof cannot be clearly viewed through satellite imagery, or if you'd like a more detailed evaluation, we can send a technician to your property to measure in person. This is especially helpful for trees, shrubs, and other landscaping features.
• Phone consultation: We can also discuss options over the phone to provide cost approximations.

What We Assess:

We evaluate your budget and preferences to provide an accurate quote covering roof lines, trees, shrubs, and other areas you'd like decorated. You have full control—it's not an all-or-nothing proposal.

Getting Started:

Simply provide your contact information and property details, and one of our representatives will reach out to schedule a time to assess your property or discuss your project. Once you receive your estimate, you can accept it by calling in, and we'll confirm your acceptance and process the required deposit.

Our spring cleanup service starts at around $400 for a quarter-day service, which includes two workers for approximately two hours of work (four man-hours total). This base service covers basic winter leaf removal and light trimming.

Pricing scales based on the scope of work and your property's specific needs:

• Quarter-day service: around $400 — Basic cleanup with two workers for two hours
• Half-day service: around $700 — Extended work for larger properties or more detailed tasks
• Extended services: $700–$935+ — For comprehensive work like detailed weeding, fence-line trimming, garden bed shaping, and additional hours

Additional services are priced separately and can be added to your cleanup:

• Mulch installation: approximately $105 per yard
• Trench edging: typically increases total cost by $300–$400
• Brick removal, perennial plant cleanup, and other specialized work: determined during estimate

The final price depends on your yard size, the specific tasks required (such as trimming backyard fence-line bushes, shaping garden beds, or removing debris), and the total man-hours needed. We recommend scheduling an on-site estimate so we can evaluate your property and provide a detailed, customized quote based on your exact needs.
