Our landscaping services in Chicago, IL

Weekly or bi-weekly mowing, edging, and blowing off of hard surfaces. Keep your lawn perfectly maintained.

Why professional mowing?

Consistent height keeps grass healthy and thick. We mulch clippings for natural fertilizer, edge for clean lines, and blow off hard surfaces. Your lawn stays green and neat without weekend work and at a consistent professional level.

BOOK SERVICE

Shape shrubs and hedges for healthy, attractive growth. Can purchase with mowing or standalone. Choose your frequency.

When should I trim?

Most shrubs need trimming 3-4 times yearly. Spring shapes new growth, summer maintains, fall preps for winter. We know each species' needs and trim for health, not just looks.

BOOK SERVICE

Remove weeds and debris from beds by hand. Keep gardens neat and clean. Can purchase with mowing or standalone

How often do I need this?

Monthly in growing season, quarterly in winter. Regular weeding prevents seeds from spreading and protects your plants' water and nutrients. Mulch after weeding lasts longer.

Greener, thicker grass with less weeds. Fertilizer and weed control applied year-round. Can purchase with mowing or standalone.

What treatments do I need?

Pre-emergent stops weeds before they start. Fertilizer feeds grass in spring/fall. Post-emergent kills existing weeds. Pest control as needed. We customize based on your grass type. One service won't do it alone but our package leads to a lush weed-free lawn.

BOOK SERVICE

Fall cleanup, spring cleanup, or year-round. Keep your yard pristine. Can purchase with mowing or standalone.

When to schedule leaf cleanup?

Fall: bi-weekly during drop season. Spring: once for winter debris. Year-round for pristine look. Leaves block sunlight and trap moisture that causes disease leading to bare spots. Stay ahead of buildup.

BOOK SERVICE

Fresh mulch for healthier plants and cleaner beds. Color options available. Sign up for mowing and add mulch as an add on.

How much mulch do I need?

On your first visit your pro will take your measurements. 2-3 inches deep for best results. One cubic yard covers 100 sq ft. Mulch twice yearly: spring for moisture retention, fall for winter protection. Choose from 5 colors.

"Beautiful work! The crew did an amazing job! I could not be happier! They were extremely thorough and went above and beyond! The grass was perfectly cut and all of the edges were trimmed as well. There is the Weedwhacker to cut all weeds that had been overgrown along the base of the fence. They also cut down excess from a bush that was overgrowing from my neighbor’s house. They also use the leaf blower to blow away all grass, clippings and trimmings from weeds and bushes. The front and backyard look absolutely amazing! They also use the leaf blower to clean up the side wall way. I am extremely happy! I highly recommend!"

"Originally i was expecting my yard to get done tomorrow so it was a good surprise to see it was being done today. Vontae was moving efficiently & he even answered my questions regarding my thoughts of wanting to add a rock bed to the front of my yard. Additionally, he made sure to blow away all the excess grass from the mow & got rid of the trash that was in my yard as well. My first two times of going through LawnStarters i didn’t get the best service & was not pleased so truly appreciate Vontae’s work this time around. I will definitely be booking him through LawnStarters for my future mows."

She talked to me about my grass and what to do to keep it up. She made me aware of what I needed to do. My grass looked great and I was very pleased with the service I received. The edging was done perfect. My grass looks very neat and nice and she told me what to do about the weeds. Thank you so much for your service! I look forward to many more!"

"I had such a great experience with Felix, who came by to help with my peach tree, and some vines I had on my gate. He carefully repositioned a low branch that needed some attention and also trimmed the top, which had started growing a little too tall and into the neighbor’s yard. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I’d definitely recommend him, and made my first experience with this service incredible!"
