"I was getting many weeds and it looked like the technicians were not covering the whole lawn. On September 3rd, Joseph Lynch came to my house and told me he was there to apply treatment. He left within 10 - 15 minutes, did not even enter my back yard, and obviously had prepared his "report" before coming to my house because he indicated on the report that I was not home even though we spoke on my porch. I immediately contacted Experigreen to cancel automatic payment and tell them what happened. I also told them not to bill my account since the work was not done and then spoke to Lilly and terminated their services. They billed me anyways on the same day and I received a reminder email about this outstanding bill. I called and was told they would not void the bill and that my only option is to have them come back out. When I refused because I don't trust them, I was told that I can explain that to the collection agency! No way! Never had such horrible customer service!"

"The pro has been servicing our Mclean property quite well for a couple of years. Our lawn looks good and we are satisfied with the service. The customer service is sometimes underwhelming but it gets the job done at a reasonable cost which is really becoming harder by the day to get."

"I can honestly say that Carl and G that work for Hannah Plumbing did an excellent job installing a new toilet and shut off valves in our bathroom yesterday. My problem is that they also unplugged our Condensate Drain Line for our air conditioner which caused a very small leak in the line. When I showed it to Carl before they left, he told me that they do not fix that kind of pipe. We paid them $1,350.00 in full. Later I was thinking that it was strange that they couldn't fix this small leak. I called the owner, Greg Hannah. He was very nice, asked me to send pics. He called be back today and told me that Carl said that he DID NOT even attempt to clear that drain. Carl is definitely lying and Greg would not believe me. In tears, I called them crooks and hung up. Maybe because we are in our 70's they feel that they can take advantage of Senior Citizens. I will offer up a Mass, Holy Communion and say the rosary for Carl so he would admit his lies and come clean. I guess Greg has to believe his workers over his customers. Thank you"

"Roger and his crew at Brick Creations & Landscaping are fantastic! I’ve used them now for 2 of my homes, a retaining wall, paver driveway & miscellaneous landscaping, and highly recommend. I had multiple quotes for both jobs and felt more confident with this company vs the big ones. They ensure they’re using the right material and explain the process and their recommendations. I am a tough customer to please and they’ve gone above and beyond my expectations each time. I trust they will do a great job and will always come back to them in the future. The crew works incredibly hard and will ensure you’re happy with the results."

"Beware of Benito's Landscaping. I contacted them for an estimate and some damage that needed correcting and after not hearing back from the m in almost a month, I contacted them and an unprofessional rep named Julie answered the call. I explained to Julie that when the landscaper came to my home, I wanted them to correct the damage aside from giving me an estimate on the other work I needed. She told me that if I don't like what happened, then I don't need to use them and said they are busy enough and don't need my business and hung up on me. I called several other times and asked that a manager or owner call me back and no call has been returned. i have had a lot of work done on my home and have never seen a business so careless and unprofessional."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Melrose Park, IL

Aeration is the best way to keep your lawn healthy and vibrant. Annual aeration makes your lawn more breathable and helps nutrients reach the roots, improving water absorption and reducing puddles where pests might breed. However, timing matters. It's best to avoid aerating during droughts, extreme heat, or if your lawn is battling weeds. A local pro can help you determine the ideal time for your yard.

Most lawns benefit from annual aeration to keep them healthy and thriving. If your lawn has a lot of thatch buildup—more than half an inch—you might need to aerate twice a year for a couple of years to get it under control. But if your soil isn't compacted and there's minimal thatch, you might be able to skip a year.

When you hire a professional lawn care company, a standard 10,000-square-foot lawn takes about 30 minutes to aerate. Uneven, sloped, or especially large lawns can take significantly more time. So, depending on your lawn's size and condition, the process can take anywhere from half an hour to several hours.

The best time to aerate your lawn is during the spring or fall when your grass is actively growing and the soil has enough moisture. Aerating once in the spring and once in the fall yields the best results. Avoid aerating when your lawn is dormant or right after heavy rain when the soil is too wet—that can make aeration less effective.

Even if your lawn looks healthy, aeration can still be beneficial. If you have good growth, proper drainage, and little thatch, you might not need to aerate right away. Regular aeration helps water and nutrients reach the roots, keeping your lawn strong over time. Keep an eye on your lawn's condition to decide when it might need aeration.
