Lawn Care & Landscaping in Genoa
Genoa, IL
Trusted Lawn Service Since 2005
Serving Genoa and DeKalb County
Green Acres in Genoa, Illinois
Genoa homeowners already count on us for their lawns, and our team has been doing this kind of work since 2005.
Grub control is a big one here
Grub control is one of our strongest services in Genoa. Grubs feed on grass roots under the surface, so the first sign is often brown, spongy patches that lift like loose carpet. Treating ahead of the damage is far easier than repairing a lawn afterward.
What else Genoa asks us for
Beyond grubs, the most common requests in Genoa are regular lawn treatment and tree and shrub work.

Switched over from walter. Everything is great guys that come here very polite. And better pricing
Jesus and his crew were very respectful of my property, did a wonderful job and will consider him for any future projects.
Just started with Green Acres Lawn Service and have no experience with any other service. I have a challenging wooded lot with steep slopes and no shortage of weeds and grubs. Brent and his crew were here to aerate and over seed the lawn. They were on time, courteous, worked quickly and were careful around irrigation heads and controls. So far so good.
I paid for a pond rebuild in July. It leaked. They came out in September to fix it and charged me to do it. It still leaks. They won't repair it. Incompetence meets a lack if ethivs
Very friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. I liked that he asked me about our lawn being 1st time customer.
Dalton is attentive and professional and went right to work taking care of the problem. I will recommend Green Acres.
Horrible!! DO NOT HiRE! They are very careless with their work and when they damage your property they lie about making it right. So satisfying firing these people. Very poor work quality. Will be filing complaints with the BBB and making it public that they do a shit job. So sad because of they had some respect for their clients they could have made tens of thousands but now they are going to get held accountable for their transgressions. Sad part is they could have just left a note saying I hit your shit and will make it right instead they rode off and refused to fix it so now we are going to have to make an example.
Brent & Jason go above and beyond. They take care to make sure that I am happy with every service call. Thanks Guys!!
Jorge and Luis come to my workplace weekly to take care of our lawn mowing, weed trimming, and any type of general landscaping maintenance needed. They're always friendly, efficient, kind, and helpful. They do a wonderful job and we appreciate them over here at Hicks
I had a great experience with the service! The yard looked great! Communication was always on point! Highly recommend!
First year using. Have large dead spots in lawn. Over use of fertilizer maybe? It is not voicing back with the recent rains. Other area of lawn look very good and grass is thick.
Explained what they were doing answered my questions very polite respected property while working gave directions on how to to maintain after finished
Alex and Jackson did a Great Job on our Koi Pond cleaning last week. They worked well as a team, explained the process well and were meticulous cleaning the Pond. Highly recommend to others looking for this service.
Wonderful people and service! Worked so hard and fast! We’re so accommodating of our family and pushed through some not so great weather just to get the job done!
I earlier posted a 1-star review when no one showed up for my appointment. Subsequently, Irvin the owner came out and apologized for the mix-up. I worked directly with Irvin over the next few weeks to plan a replacement for my mother's rock wall. Irvin worked within our budget and provided several options. The work was completed last week on time and within budget. I whole heartedly recommend this company.
This company just does a horrible job. And when you call them on it they don't do a thing about it. They mow about half of the stuff they are supposed to and do a horrible job when they do. Worst part they send a full bill like they actually did a good job. Don't use them
I had an issue with weed control and Mike Do took care of the issue immediately.
Very friendly and knowledgeable about what needed to be done to fix the problem we were having. The work crew was excellent. They had the job done in a timely manner and also kept checking with me to make sure it was what I was expecting. The cost was very reasonable for the project. I would definitely recommend this company.
Good to know before you waste your time with this company- very frustrating experience. I called to ask if they install hanging tree lights, and the woman on the phone couldn’t tell me whether they even offered that service. She said it could be discussed during a consultation, which is $100. The day of the appointment, no one showed up because they forgot to schedule it. After wasting my time, they rescheduled and offered a $50 discount. He gets there and immediately says they don’t install that type of lighting at all. The entire consultation could have been avoided if someone had simply known—or bothered to verify—what services the company they work for provides before charging me for an appointment. The only bright spot was Brian (delivered quote) who was professional, kind, and courteous. My issue is with the company’s poor communication, lack of organization, and lack of knowledge about its own services. FYI for a single light, they start at $400.
Team did a great job shaping and trimming trees and bushes on the side of my house. Very professional. Explain what they were going to accomplish. Made suggestion on what would look best for the property as well as future trimming needs.
We just moved here from out of state and all the beds in our backyard are severely overgrown. With so much to do after a cross country move it’s a relief to hire this company to make our yard beautiful! I’ve heard great things about this company. Ryan took his time and went through the yard with me and showed me what was weeds and what wasn’t and designed a beautiful layout. Mike was very polite over the phone and explained all services in detail. I also like that they are a local company! Excited to see what they can do with Christmas lights!
Polite and professional! Yard looks great and they worked with us on a price that worked for us!
Really impressed with Gunner’s work today. He treated my whole yard, was fast, and didn’t miss a spot. I appreciate how thorough he was. The customer service that I receive from Mike ( in the office) is without a doubt top tier. It is obvious that customer service is a priority to Green Acres lawn care! It starts in the office and carries on to the field! Thank you Asian Mike!
Strong communication skills and willing to step in and help when needed. Thank you Mike for your support.
They did me and husband’s landscaping. This is the absolute worst company to work with. The ratings are deceiving. All the plant beds are over run with weeds. They never did what we paid them to do. Our plant beds resemble a forest preserve. I’m not sure you could pay someone more to do a worse job than these scam artists have. RUN AWAY!
This is by far the worst landscaping/lawn maintenance company I’ve ever had. I spent $3,000 dollar for them to redo my mulch beds, trench around, and trim the bushes. I would have been better off finding a homeless person on the street to do this work. The bushes were never trimmed. The tench is now overgrown with weeds. They did not order enough mulch so they just spread it thinly. They never applied the pre emergent, and if they did it was too late in the year. Less than a week later, it looked worse than before I had them mulch it. It took several calls to get someone back out. They had this poor guy Patrick just absolutely pouring weed killer in my beds. Then sent him back do pour weed killer again. The manager Josh? Oh he might as well have the title of “Tell you I’m gonna do something, and never do it”. I’ve reached out multiple times at this point to have them make it right. No response. The 4.8 stars is misleading RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN from this company. I’m talking Forrest Gump fast. Emphasis on the Forrest part, because that’s what my garden beds look like after they were done with it. If I could post pictures I would. I have them all in my camera roll. So if they eventually respond and deny it. They are all timestamped. I would have rather paid them 3k not to do the work or at least put it back to what it was before.
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
