I do not recommend Green Acres Lawn Care & Landscaping. They came this morning to mow the neighbors yard, which was soaking wet from the recent rain. I watched them use a gas blower to blow wet leaves through his chain link fence into the three neighbors yards next to this one. The lawn looks terrible, as the leaves are barely chopped up. If you want poor quality work, call Green Acres Lawn Care & Landscaping 6505 Logan Ave Belvidere IL 61008 815-988-5821

I do appreciate how quickly and politely they responded to my inquiry, but was informed that they stopped offering this service a year ago. They have not updated Angie's List or their website, wasting the time of homeowners like me looking for this type of work. I can only assume they leave it up to garner landscaping leads. Was especially disappointed that they could not offer the name of an alternative service provider.

It looks really nice. The fella that set up all the work went above and beyond to satisfy me. Everything came out ok.

Very well. They came when they said they said they would and performed as described. Line trimmed edge of driveway to seal entire blacktop. Will hire again.

You ask them something that you want done and a budget and they will work with you. If they go over the limit they'll explain why and provide different options for you.

Great until they received the 50% down payment at which point customer service went to zero. The brick walkway is beautiful. The company was to remove 2 -3 inches of mulch around my pool and add landscaping rock to fill the beds and add rock to fill the rock bed between my pool and house. They used a rock that did not match the rest of my landscaping, removed all the mulch from the beds around the pool instead of 2 -3 inches resulting in the rock coming 3-4 inches below the top of the wood framing and not having any rock to fill in the bed in between the pool & my home - the contrast in the rock types looks awful - which the salesman agreed when I complained and he came to look at the job. The salesman then led me to believe he was attempting to find the rock to match the current landscaping and complete the job. The next day I received notice from my credit card that the company had processed a charge for payment of the completed job. I did not receive a final invoice from the salesman when he was at my home the day before, the job was not complete nor did I ever give the company authorization to charge my credit card a second time. The company now refuses to fix the issues unless I pay them more money. Sub par work, poor customer service and questionable if not fraudulent business practices in placing unauthorized charges on customers credit cards.

"[member name removed], I am very sorry to hear that you are not happy with the experience you had with Green Acres. I have thoroughly researched your project and reviewed the emails between you and our staff. On June 1, you emailed indicating that you were fine with the quote provided and asked for additional services. On June 8, our Landscape Manager emailed you the revised estimate which you accepted via email on June 9, and indicated you "hoped" it could be done by the end of June. On June 26, you emailed stating that you were having a large 4th of July party and were "really in need" of the backyard work. The Landscape Manager then replied to your email indicating that due to the weather (we had 14 days of rain between June 9 and July 5), we were delayed on several projects and that you could contact us with any questions. You responded on June 26, expressing your frustration that we could not meet your needs. We again responded to you, apologizing for the frustration and explained the weather is not a factor that we can control, and that all jobs are scheduled and completed in order of how they are sold. Our crews then arrived at your property on July 5 and began the work you had requested. On July 6, we received an email that stated you had concerns about the work that was done and that you "do not like the look at all." You then called the office asking to speak to the Landscape Manager who was in a meeting with another client and we would give him a message to contact you, which he did. The job was then completed on July 6, and you were charged appropriately on July 7, and the invoice was emailed to you. You then sent an email at 5:43 PM (our office closes at 5:00 PM) on Friday July 7 stating that you have disputed the payment on your credit card, and demanding that we cancel the payment within 48 hours, along with an extensive list of other demands that go above and beyond the work that was estimated. Then on Sunday July 9 (again outside of business hours), another email was received from you stating that you have filed a complaint with not only the credit card company, but also the Better Business Bureau. Green Acres Lawn Care stands behind our work 100%, and this job was completed and invoiced to the specifications set forth in the original estimate. Any changes to this would result in an additional cost, as it would with any company. We are among the top rated companies in our area, and have a long standing history with 1000's of satisfied clients. This would not be the case if we operated our business in the manner of which you accuse us. If you wish to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me. Thank you, Stephanie Kieper Office Manager"

original quote of $1,600 for work done ended up being $2,351.76 and still didn't complete all the trimming of limbs/mulch, etc.

We called and contracted the service approximately 5 to 6 weeks ago.  Customer service said they would be out in a week or two to trim the lower branches, depending on weather conditions.  They didn't come and so we called again -- they said they would be out in a day or two.  Finally the service was done.  We got a bill (already credit card prepaid by us) and it was more than the quoted price.  They quoted one hour of labor and removal of debris with a minimum charge of $157.00.  When we got the bill it was $223.12.  We called and inquired - they said they had "3 workers here".  The time it look was recorded on the bill - 10:57 AM to 11:40 AM, approximately 43 minutes.  We were charged for an "extra man" who by our estimation was unneeded - but arguing was unsuccessful with them.  We feel we were overcharged and had no control over how many men came out -- never in our estimate was it stated per man per hour.  We would never use them again over price fairness.

The quality of the work done was very poor.  The Green Acres rep admitted afterwards that it was not work that he would want done at his residence and that it is not an example of work that they would post on their website as an example of the work that they do.  Sadly, I will have to pay another landscaper to come in and fix this work.

Green Acres takes care of my yard weekly. Plus they handle my snow removal too! I am very happy with the quality and service. When mowing the back yard, they move things (trampoline) to make sure every inch of the yard is covered. When I call, I always get a quick response. The prices are competitive and service is exceptional. I highly recommend this company!

They came out for an estimate and took a number of measurements.

They said they would get back to me in a few days.

Never heard from them again.
