Lawn Care Service



The area is known for its expansive, meticulously maintained properties — and keeping those lawns looking their best requires care matched to Lake Forest's specific conditions. The loamy soils found across much of the area support excellent grass growth, but heavy shade from old-growth hardwoods and competition from ornamental plantings create thin spots where weeds take hold. Our 7-round fertilizing and weed control program delivers precisely what your property turf needs: a pH-balanced granular fertilizer that maximizes the natural advantages of the local soil while providing iron and micronutrients for deep green color. We treat Creeping Charlie, Wild Violets, dandelions, clover, and crabgrass with guaranteed results — including free retreatments between visits for any weeds that persist. Our specialty herbicide Momentum gives us an edge against ground ivy and violets that standard products miss. Every Lake Forest property is treated on foot with push spreaders to maintain the turf quality your property deserves.


local homeowners expect premium service with safety to match. We use only kid-friendly and pet-safe products — treatments are safe for your family once the application has dried, which is typically within an hour.


HOW IT WORKS

For local properties, our seven-round program works with the natural progression of the North Shore seasons. We start in early spring with a granular feeding and pre-emergent crabgrass control, applied before soil temperatures trigger weed seed germination. Through the growing season, each visit pairs a calibrated fertilizer application with targeted broadleaf weed treatment based on real-time conditions on your property — not a preset formula. Fall rounds emphasize nitrogen-heavy feedings that stimulate root growth and increase turf density, preparing the lawn for winter. Our winterizing application in late November stores slow-release nutrients deep in the root system. After each round, you'll find a written summary at your door detailing what our technician applied and observed. Retreatments for weeds between scheduled visits are always provided at no extra cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does Lawn Care Cost?

Your lawn service pricing is based on your property's acreage and the treatments required. We offer premium-level care without premium-level pricing — and no contracts. Call 224-415-3698 or request a free estimate.

What Services Are Available?

local homeowners can choose a 7-round weed control and fertilization plan, deep-root tree and shrub care, perimeter pest protection, organic mosquito treatments, grub prevention, and fall core aeration — all backed by our guarantee.

Does Greener Living serve all of the area?

We serve every part of the area — from the estates along Sheridan Road to the neighborhoods near Market Square and the Metra line. Our Lake County route covers the area throughout the week. Full service area list.

When Should I Start Treatments?

For Lake Forest estates, mid-April is typically our first-visit window. The mature canopy cover and heavier soils on many local properties hold moisture longer, so we wait for adequate drainage before applying the spring pre-emergent. Our program runs through November with seven precisely scheduled treatments.

Are Treatments Safe for Pets and Kids?

Yes — we use only products that are safe for children and animals once dry. Our mosquito treatment is an organic cedar-and-peppermint spray. We advise approximately two hours of drying time before re-entering the treated area.

How Do I Get a Free Estimate?

What grass types grow best in Lake Forest, IL?

Lake Forest estates call for fine fescue and shade-tolerant bluegrass cultivars that perform under heavy tree canopy. Creeping red fescue has proven especially effective on large, wooded local lots. For areas with more sun, a bluegrass-ryegrass blend fills in densely. Our aeration & overseeding program chooses seed genetics bred for persistence under established North Shore landscapes.

What are the most common lawn problems in the area?

Your lawn estates often have extensive turf under heavy shade canopy, creating ideal conditions for moss, Wild Violets, and thinning grass. Deer are an additional challenge for ornamental plantings. For lawns, our 7-round program focuses on shade-tolerant fescue health, aggressive broadleaf weed control, and our overseeding service introduces improved cultivars.

Does Greener Living offer mosquito control locally?

Absolutely — mosquito control is one of our most popular add-ons in Lake Forest, particularly on the larger wooded properties. We apply organic cedar-peppermint barrier sprays every 3–4 weeks during the warm season.

Can I Bundle Lawn and Pest Control?

our customers often combine the lawn program with pest control and mosquito treatments. Bundling covers more and costs less per service. Phone 224-415-3698 to build a plan.

Professional Lawn Treatment

Greener Living Lawn Care provides estate-quality lawn fertilization and weed control in Lake Forest, Illinois (Lake County). Our 7-round program caters to the large, wooded properties common in the area — where extensive shade, root competition, and established landscaping demand a more nuanced approach to turf nutrition.

local properties range from expansive estates along Sheridan Road to wooded residential lots in the interior, each with its own soil composition and shade dynamics. Greener Living's technicians assess every Lake Forest lawn individually, mapping sun exposure and soil type before designing a 7-round fertilization plan. We use professional-grade granular fertilizers applied by hand to guarantee uniform coverage across even the largest properties. Seasonal timing here is critical — we begin with pre-emergent protection in March, adjust formulations through summer, and finish with a root-strengthening winterizer before the hard Lake County freeze.

Weed Control Services

Lake Forest's mature landscaping creates conditions where Creeping Charlie, Wild Violets, and plantain thrive under tree canopies, while open turf areas are targeted by dandelion, clover, thistle, and crabgrass. Our Lake Forest weed-management program utilizes Momentum herbicide for aggressive broadleaf ground cover and selective post-emergent sprays for secondary weeds. Spring pre-emergent treatments prevent crabgrass germination, and our guarantee provides complimentary re-treatments for any weeds that surface between visits.

Local homeowners expect a level of craftsmanship their large properties deserve. Greener Living delivers that by having every technician push-walk your entire lawn by hand — no riding spreaders compacting your soil or skipping edges. We bring up to five separate product formulations and apply different blends to shaded, exposed, and ornamental areas so that each section of your property receives precision care.
