Hello. My name is Arturo Estrada, and I do about any landscape job including, but not limited to, aeration, mulch installation, grass installation, planting, leaf removal, grass mowing, weed removal, cleanups, trimming, snow removal, and more. My business is family owned, so we try to do our best to satisfy our clients. There is closer communication with clients given that I and my son talk directly to costumers. I have been doing landscape for five years along with my son.

Chem-Wise is a trusted, locally owned, full service pest control company offering convenient residential and commercial pest control throughout Chicagoland. We are experts in identifying Illinois pests, and using the safest, most effective methods to eliminate them.

"They were great the first year and then consistently went downhill. I ask to come when I was home because of the dogs and every time that was an issue. Then I would pre-pay for 3 -4 services and they either would not come or would do a "fast" spray. The last service for this year I got an email they were coming and then nothing. I know because I have cameras around the house. When I complained they told me they would send some to do the spray (this was a week ago) you know the bugs are really bad in a freeze? Done, will not use anymore and will not recommend."

"They need to do a better in bidding jobs. Fall cutting of plants etc. was fine. They were suppose to remove leaves. Prior to the service I had raked up a lot of leaves and left them in a pile to take, they didn’t remove it. I also asked them to take a yard debris pile which they quoted for $55. They didn’t remove it, but after the fact wanted $150 to remove it.They stopped by the first time, reviewed the job and left. Came back to do the job, and didn’t complete to my expectations. If they would have bid the job correctly, there would have been no problem and I wouldn’t have piles of debris in my yard."

"I regret ignoring the negative reviews and being influenced by the Angi.com certification for this supplier. I definitely do NOT recommend hiring this supplier for Lawn Care services. This supplier failed to keep multiple commitments, and was a No-Show on multiple occasions. This small supplier lacks professionalism, is not committed to good customer service, does not keep commitments, and is completely unreliable."

"Saul Valdez appeared ready and eager to work. Quoted $1400 for the job. I gave him initial payments of $800 "so he could pay his crew", that "just left" the site (I never actually met his "crew" and another $400 so he "could rent a skip loader and come back to do the job right". Guess what? I never saw him again. Left with a mess. No removal. No return calls or texts. Total SCAM ARTIST. Shame on me for trusting this smooth talking kid. I found him through Porch.com."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Whether or not grass will fill in bare spots itself depends on the type of grass you have. For example, grass with rhizomes (e.g., Bermuda grass) and stolons (e.g., Saint Augustine grass) will naturally fill in bald spots as it spreads laterally. However, clump-forming grasses will not spread. 

Both zoysia grass and bermuda grass are somewhat similar to St. Augustine because they’re all warm-season grasses. Beyond that, most grass types have unique properties that set them apart. Zoysia grass costs twice the price of St. Augustine grass on average and it has thinner blades and a deeper green appearance. Bermuda grass, compared to St. Augustine, has much thinner blades, is softer to the touch, and has a higher tolerance for colder weather.

Lawns can be high maintenance, and therefore require regular spending if you’re not up for doing certain lawn care tasks yourself. But you can save time and money on lawn maintenance by mulching, composting, and planting species native to your area, so they keep alive with less ongoing TLC from you.

Lawn care is tough work—even when you hire pros, there’s no guarantee your grass won’t die (unless, of course, your company offers a guarantee). But lawn care companies don’t control the rain or watering restrictions. Your type of grass also impacts the type of care required to keep a lush lawn—and how much that care costs. Talk to a lawn care pro to determine the best times to treat your lawn based on type of grass and your climate.

Some of the particular herbicides that work best to get rid of nut grass without killing the grass include Halosulfuron-methyl, mesotrione, sulfentrazone, and metsulfuron. A herbicide like glyphosate would kill nutgrass, but it will kill nearby plants, too.
