Chicago Lawn Treatment & Lawn Service

Our professional lawn treatment service is designed to eradicate all unwanted weeds and keep your lawn healthy, green, and thick! As Chicago's top-rated lawn service, we offer specialty weed control products for, and guarantee control against all weeds like Violets, Creeping Charlie, or Clover. You will also receive free re-treats for any persisting weeds as needed with your lawn service. We offer a pH-balanced fertilizer that helps to unlock stored nutrients in your soil and greatly improve the color. We also push spread and walk every lawn, so you never have to worry about us leaving tracks! Our lawn treatment program pairs perfectly with fall aeration & overseeding to repair thin spots and build a thicker, healthier lawn year after year.

HOW OUR LAWN TREATMENT SERVICE WORKS

Each lawn treatment is applied monthly — every visit we fertilize as well as spray any weeds! This keeps your lawn well fed, green, and healthy while also maintaining complete control over any weeds (even the tough ones!). Each lawn service visit we leave a detailed analysis on what we are seeing as well as set expectations for what you should see in terms of results after each visit. This keeps you informed and aware of exactly what we are doing and why. For lawns that need extra help, we recommend pairing your lawn treatment program with overseeding to fill in bare spots and thicken your turf. With attention to detail and quality products we will give you the lawn that is the envy of the neighborhood!

Lawn Fertilizing Services for Chicago & Suburbs

A thick, green lawn starts with the right fertilization program. At Greener Living, our 7-round lawn fertilizing program is designed specifically for the northern Illinois climate zone (USDA Zone 5b). We use a combination of slow-release granular fertilizers and liquid applications to deliver consistent nutrition throughout the growing season — from the first spring green-up in March through the final winterizing treatment in November.

Our fertilizers are pH-balanced to unlock nutrients already stored in Chicago's predominantly clay soils. This means better nutrient absorption, deeper root systems, and a lawn that's naturally more resistant to heat stress, drought, and disease. Every application is custom-mixed based on what your lawn needs at that specific point in the season.

Complete Weed Control for Illinois Lawns

Chicago-area lawns face relentless weed pressure from early spring through late fall. Our comprehensive weed control program attacks weeds at every stage of their lifecycle:

  • Pre-emergent herbicides applied in early spring to prevent crabgrass, foxtail, and other annual grassy weeds before they germinate
  • Post-emergent broadleaf control targeting dandelions, clover, plantain, thistle, and ground ivy throughout the growing season
  • Specialty products like Momentum for guaranteed control of Creeping Charlie (ground ivy) and Wild Violets — two of the most stubborn weeds in Chicagoland
  • Fall weed sprays to eliminate late-season weeds and prevent them from overwintering in your lawn

Every customer receives free re-treatments for any weeds that persist between scheduled applications. We don't consider the job done until your lawn is weed-free.

Why Timing Matters for Your Lawn

In the Chicagoland area, the difference between a great lawn and a mediocre one often comes down to timing. Crabgrass preventer must be applied before soil temperatures reach 55°F — typically late March to mid-April. Miss that window and you'll battle crabgrass all summer. Fall fertilization timing is equally critical: applying winterizer too early wastes nutrients, while too late means the grass can't absorb them before going dormant.

Our team monitors soil temperatures and weather patterns across the Chicago suburbs to time every application precisely. This attention to detail is why our customers' lawns consistently outperform those treated by national chain companies that follow one-size-fits-all schedules.
