Lawn & Garden Products

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

Pricing starts from $55 per application for the standard six-application program, based on lawn size.

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.

Our philosophy focuses on creating a healthy, robust lawn as the primary defense against weed growth. By enhancing grass density and providing essential nutrients, we naturally suppress weed development. We follow Illinois Department of Agriculture guidelines for application timing and rates, and we customize treatments to meet your environmental preferences and specific lawn conditions.

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 around $140, though some installations run around $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: around $245 — For permanent landscape bed lighting installations.

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. Reach out to discuss your outdoor lighting needs.

• Weekly recurring charge starting at $60 (standard weekly service; varies by lawn size)
• Payment is per service, not on a monthly basis
• Only one credit card can be kept on file at a time
• The first week may have a different charge if double mowing is required
• Weekly charge remains consistent once established

Service Schedule

You'll be assigned a specific weekly service day, typically occurring on Saturdays or Mondays. We charge the card on file the day after your scheduled mowing is completed.

A face cord of firewood delivered and stacked typically costs around $180, though pricing may vary. The price includes both delivery and stacking services, with stacking included at no extra charge when the location is within 100 feet of the truck. Tax is applied only to the wood itself, not to the delivery and stacking service.

Pricing Options:

• Delivered and stacked: Around $180 (most common price)
• Delivered without stacking (dumped in driveway): Around $150

The difference between stacked and unstacked delivery is typically around $30, with stacking adding value by placing the wood neatly rather than simply dumping it in your driveway.

Larger Orders:

• A full cord (equivalent to 3 face cords) delivered and stacked costs around $480–$535
• 2.5 face cords delivered and stacked costs around $360

Prices may increase after the 15th of the month, so it's worth confirming current rates before ordering. Contact us to place your firewood order.

Yes, we offer annual grub control treatment as part of our lawn care program. This is a preventative service that targets grub larvae before they can cause significant damage to your lawn.

Pricing: Our grub control treatment typically costs around $60 to $70 for a single annual application.

Timing and Application: We apply grub control during our third round of fertilization, typically in June or early July. This timing is strategically important because it targets grub larvae during their active period before they mature and cause the most damage. The treatment penetrates the root zone to prevent grubs from feeding on grass roots during their most destructive phase, which typically peaks at the end of July.

Why Grub Control Matters: Grubs are beetle larvae that feed on grass roots and can cause substantial lawn damage, including:

• Dead patches and yellowing areas in your lawn
• Weakened root systems that make grass vulnerable
• Secondary damage from animals (skunks, raccoons, moles) that dig up your lawn to feed on the grubs
• Transformation into Japanese beetles that cause additional plant damage

We recommend this treatment for all our clients, especially after drought conditions when grub populations tend to be more problematic. A single preventative application during the optimal window is far more effective and cost-efficient than dealing with extensive lawn damage later in the season. Contact us to add grub control to your lawn care plan.

Our outdoor insect and mosquito control services are priced per application, with costs ranging from around $56 to $96 depending on the specific service level and pests treated.

Here's what you can expect:

• Around $56 per application — Basic outdoor insect control or mosquito treatment
• Around $66 per application — Mosquito and outdoor insect control service
• Around $76 per application — Comprehensive outdoor insect control including treatment for mosquitoes, spiders, stink bugs, fleas, and ticks
• Around $96 per application — Premium mosquito and pest control services

The most common service level is around $76 per application, which provides comprehensive coverage against multiple outdoor pests including mosquitoes, spiders, stink bugs, fleas, and ticks. The exact price for your property will depend on which pests you need treated and the scope of coverage you choose. Contact us to discuss which service level is right for your property.
