It went really well. Grant (the owner) came out and walked the lawn with me to see all the problem areas. He then explained the issues our lawn had to me and what he recommended for treatment. He was very polite and gave me a lot of information. He sent me a proposal via email the next day...

"I had great experience with JMG last year and they even did a few additional projects like clearing areas and trimming shrubs for me in addition to mowing. I was satisfied. This year my mowings became farther and farther apart and additional work they had estimated and I agreed to never happened. My lawn was mowed July 3 and not again for the rest of July. I emailed twice - first email was told there?d be here July 26 but that did not happen nor did a few days into the next week with a second email getting no response. With the grass so long rabbits began nesting in my lawn, I had to switch to a different mowing service."

Greener Living, LLC
Greener Living is a locally owned and operated company that values honesty and integrity in all aspects of our business. Our dedicated team of professionals have over 5 years of hands on experience, to provide innovative ideas and suggestions tailored to your projects. Our services are customized to your individual needs, paying close attention to the details of each project that we are involved with.
"Donâ t waste your time and money on Greener Living. I had been a fairly happy Greener Living customer for just over two years. Early on there were issues - they were annoying but manageable. Over time, the frequency and intensity of the issues became unbearable. The Greener Living technicians and management failed to provide the â professionalâ part of a â paid professional service.â I began documenting and itemizing the issues. Here is what I saw: 1) Technicians failing to read gate codes from my account "notes" resulting in skipped/delayed services 2) Technicians not adequately using enough product on service 3) Technicians damaging sprinkler heads - two years in a row - with the aerator, despite me having flagged them with bright yellow flags 4) Too many pushy "sales" phone calls 5) Technicians using the wrong products and staining my property For all of these issues, I had to reach out and insist that some resolution be provided - it was not the default response. I eventually started communicating directly with Brian Mason (Owner & General Manager per his email signature). I gave them a couple opportunities to make it right and they failed. I eventually asked for a refund. Brian sent an email saying the refund would be processed and sent his apologies. The trouble is, at the time of writing this, it has been 19 days since â processingâ that refund and despite attempting to contact them twice since then there has been no refund. Stay away from Greener Living - they donâ t care about you, your property, or your business. They just want your money."

FAQs for lawn service projects in Lake Forest, IL
Depending on the areas that a lawn care company specializes in, most companies offer a core set of services that usually include:
Mowing
Mulch
Tree trimming and pruning
Pest control
Landscaping
Leaf removal
Spring and fall cleanup
Shrub trimming and pruning
Check with local lawn care companies to confirm that they offer the services you’re looking for.
The average cost to mow a lawn is about $125, ranging between $50 and $200 per cutting, depending on yard size. Other cost factors include the shape of your lawn, accessibility, lawn health, type of grass, length of grass, and frequency of the mowing schedule. The cost to cut your grass will also vary depending on where you live. If your landscaper has to maneuver around obstacles or deal with hard to reach areas and steep slopes, this will likely increase your total mowing costs.
The recommended frequency to fertilize your lawn depends on the health of your lawn. If the grass is healthy and you have good soil, you may only need to apply fertilizer once yearly. However, if your lawn has shallow roots or poor, sandy soil that lacks the nutrients that grass needs to thrive, you may need to fertilize the lawn every six weeks.
On average, the cost to hydroseed ranges between $500 and $4,000. The cost depends on the size of the area you’re hydroseeding, the type of grass seed, slope of your yard, and other factors. Hydroseed is a mixture of grass seed, fertilizer, water, and mulch that you spray on the lawn using a pressurized sprayer. While the process is more expensive than seeding, grass will grow more quickly, and is often healthier.
Yes, it can be cheaper to fertilize your own lawn. DIY lawn fertilization saves the cost of hiring a lawn care company or a company that specializes in lawn fertilization. It’s important to handle fertilizer carefully to avoid the potential dangers of getting fertilizing chemicals on your skin. Also, using the wrong type of fertilizer or misapplying it can permanently damage your lawn. On average, the cost to fertilize your lawn using a professional lawn care service is about $250 and may be worth checking into as professionals tend to have the equipment and knowledge to apply the most effective blend of fertilizer to your lawn for the best results.
