My yard, front a back was aerated both horizontally and vertically. The lawn was reseeded and fertilized. The technician was courteous knowledgeable and was glad to answer all of my questions. He was incredibly professional in all respects. I highly recommended their service.

It was good. They did well. I called them back one other time. But I wasn’t really willing to spend $470 for the year. It worked and I was happy with it. I just wasn’t really willing to purchase further things. They were prompt and helpful. When I had to switch something, they worked with me. I had no problems with them. With regard to price, the big deal definitely was worth it, but the long term thing is not. I just find the prices high for what they do for the time. With regard to quality, they did a nice job and it worked out real well. With regard to punctuality, they came exactly when I needed them. I would try and get a better deal from them. If I could get a better price from them, I would use them again in the future.

I have been using this lawn service now for 2 years and my lawn has never looked better. My lawn had a lot of bare spots before they started their lawn care and now it is completely filled in. I plan on using them in 2014 and would recommend them to anyone.

Returned my call within the same the day...quote done the next! Service done that week. We needed Tick removal on our lawn as we had a large party outside coming up AND known lyme disease in our dog and three family members. The chemical used is the recommended one for tick eradication. TOTALLY will use again end of season to redo for a wedding reception in our yard next month. We have 1 1/4 acre and it was $175 :) Thanks, Greg.

Called Turf Care to explore a weed control and fertilizer package for the 2013 season. I received a call back right away and my representative was very helpful and explained everything to me over the phone. He was even able to provide an exact price since he was able to look up my lot size online. I went ahead and scheduled the service. So far, one treatment has been completed and it was exactly as expected. The tech even left a personal note with some suggestions based on what he saw which I will be following up on. Overall, this is a very customer focused company which is what I was looking for.

After reading the reviews I filled out a request for an estimate on the company's website. A couple days passed and with no reply so I emailed them from my own email account. A couple of days later I received an email reply from Al Leal asking that I call him to set up an appointment so I did. Another man answered and said Al was on the phone and he would give him my message. Four more days have passed and no call back but then they suddenly showed up at my house. I was at work so they did the estimate and left it at my house. The information left was good except it said I had a seeded lawn when I have a sodded lawn. Al called to make sure I received the estimate so I scheduled him to come out and aerate the lawn. He was courteous and professional on the phone and the next day did the aeration as promised. This company needs to work on it's procedures to respond in a timely manner to calls and emails, but in the end did a good job.
Description of Work: I needed lawn aeration, fertilization, and weed control. I liked that they offered organic options and that they had positive reviews on Angies List.

The initial response to our inquiry on their website was slow, but they have come to assess our lawn issues. The rep was very knowledgeable and courteous. We agreed to take his recommendations for treatment, and are waiting for the correct weather conditions for the work to be done. We were pleased that he called us last night to consult on the treatment schedule. I will update this review again after the work is completed.
Description of Work: For many years our lawn has been quite good without professional help. We have maintained with mostly organic and/or environmentally friendly products. Last year and this year the lawn has deteriorated badly, with many brown/dead looking patches. We were impressed with the environmentally friendly nature of the products and services this company appears to offer, and with the favorable reviews that we saw here, so we decided to ask their advice and consider their services.

I have had TCE for two years now and I will say that the summer of 2011 my lawn looked outstanding. This summer my lawn has never looked as bad as it does now. According to TCE I have a billbug infestation and now I have brown dead areas all over my front lawn and a number of areas in my yard. I understand that this summer has been extreme and that watering the lawn was critical and I can honestly say that I have done my part watering my lawn and have the water bills to prove it and cutting the lawn high as they requested. I have had TCE out a couple times recently to show them what I am talking about. I would have expected for their trained professionals to have seen this problem and make some attempt to head it off. The first guy that came out told my wife that "yep the lawn is dead and needs to be replaced." Well, I have a big problem with now bearing that expense since when all is said and done this year I will have paid TCE 492.00 to take care of my lawn and prevent me from having to replace it due to disease and pests. So I called again to express my dissatisfaction. Scott came out and meet with me. Was on time and explained that yes I have a billbug problem and there is nothing they could have done about it. He asked if they would have recommended and insecticide in the late Spring if I would have went with it? This question made me sort of angry since again when its all said and done I will have paid TCE 492.00 for the year and expected that this sort of damage would have been prevented. Every time I expressed my concern about this it was always my lawns fault. They just had a answer and a excuse for everything and NOTHING was their fault. Scott offered to "work" with me and said he will put me to the front of the line for aeration and he will have his guy give me a little extra time and labor and go over the dead areas a number of times and plant seed. The first guy said the dead lawn needed to me removed and replaced. TCE did put down an insecticide in July called Merit. I did a little research on Merit and it is widely used to prevent billbugs and grubs. Based on this I really believe that TCE "dropped the ball" here. I called TCE again and talked to Mark about this and have given them the opportunity to "make things right". But overall this year I am not happy with the service provided and I will determine if I will continue to stay with TCE based on how they respond to this situation. So the question above if I would use them again remains to be seen but I had to answer the question to be able to submit this report.
Description of Work: TCE comes out from March to November to treat and fertilize my lawn and keep it healthy.

So far so good. It has been a rough year for lawns and trees due to the dry hot weather early in the summer. Glad we've been doing all we can to keep our lawn and plants strong, and Turf Care has helped keep everything looking great.
Description of Work: Have used Turf Care for lawn care (annual lawn care program) as well as tree care. They are professional, responsive, and thorough. There are other services that were somewhat less expensive but I think they are well worth the investment (you get what you pay for). Each person I've worked with has been knowledgable and friendly. Found them through Angie's List.

They are professional, punctual, and our lawn is looking great. They also are welcoming to discuss issues with the lawn itself and recommend options, regardless of whether they do the work. I recently had a problem of my own fault in payment and they were wonderful in assisting me to correct my error. They have checked on the statues of the recently seeded yard and advise me when to treat that etc.I highly recommend them.

We can’t stress enough that communication between us and our customers is vital to our success. It takes so much more than just fertilizer in order to produce and maintain a thick and healthy lawn. The environment that our lawns grow in is constantly changing which presents new challenges during each growing season. By having an ongoing service like ours, we are able to monitor the lawn, apprise our homeowners of anything amiss, and make recommendations based on what we find during each visit. We are glad to hear that this customer is happy with our service so far and we thank them for recommending our company.

We found Turf Care through Angie's List and called them for an estimate. I was inclined to pick them based upon their slow-release fertilizer and method of treatments. I've had Scotts, Spring Green as wells as other national services. If there wasn't an issue with billing or scheduling then it was the old "call us if you aren't satisfied" gimmick where they defer to your next treatment as the fix. Not with Turf Care. We use them for several treatments from Spring to Fall. We also used their arborist for tree services. This year we continued with the same plan due to the high satisfaction in results. I highly recommend Turf Care.
Description of Work: This will be our second year with Turf Care. I'm extremely pleased with their service which includes the courtesy call the day before to the results of my lawn treatments. This year has been dry, dry, dry. As a result, the weeds begin to thrive and the grass runs brown. Our lawn is doing the best it can and the weeds are non-existent. Last year, our lawns was thick, green and lush. Our trees held up against the Japanese beetles that typically infest them every summer. And, as proof of the treatments, dandelions grew wild on all the common area that touch our property and then stopped cold where the Turf Care treatments were applied.

Many thanks to this client for taking time to give us this kind review. We are delighted to hear that they are enjoying their experience with Turf Care. We appreciate that they recognized our more personalized service approach and controlled release fertilizer programs. Granular, controlled release fertilizers are far superior to conventional liquid fertilizers when it comes to the development of a deeper denser roots system, which is the key to having a healthy lawn. In addition, lawns with a deep, dense root system can better withstand invasion of weeds, insects, and diseases more naturally, thereby limiting the need for excessive fungicide, herbicide, and insecticide use. That’s our goal, a more natural approach… Thanks again!

We’re grateful that this client took the time to write a review acknowledging the value of our service. There are some cases where we tend to be slightly higher in price per application over other firms, however, when you factor in all of the free services included in our full season programs, along with the education and service level of our staff, our customers discover that we provide an overall better value for their money. Again, many thanks to this client for taking the time to recognize our efforts, it’s very much appreciated!

They are extremely professional and always leave us a note regarding the current condition of our lawn with recommendations on what we should be doing in between their visits. Our lawn has looked much better the past two years since using their services. Excellent knowledge regarding lawn care and weed management. Will return for additional follow up treatment when needed. They also explain why some weeds are hard to control and/or eliminate.

Thanks so much to this homeowner for taking the time to give us their kind appraisal of our company. We know that providing our clients with beautiful lawns requires much more than a company that just comes out to quickly apply a lawn treatment t hang a bill on the door. It takes an ongoing service that will keep a close eye on the lawn and effectively communicate the necessary recommendations/actions needed according to the ever changing conditions that we deal with here in northern Illinois. This is especially important during the adverse times of the growing season. Thanks again for the kind review, and we are ecstatic to hear that they are pleased with our service and their lawn!

I have to admit being rather untrusting of Turf Care after our horrible experience with a national company (they billed for services either not performed or performed poorly, then called me after I stopped services almost everyday for months until I finally blew my stack). I was initially very h****** Scott and I have to humbly admit he treated me kindly and professionally. He worked with me on the core aeration, even sending the guy out again after I complained that the ground was so hard, from lack of rain, that the cores were very small. I really wanted a good coring for an over seeding I was doing myself. Yes they did come out again. They will also come out anytime I see a weed which is not so often these days. My problem with creeping charlie is almost gone......crabcrass gone......dandelions are non existent. My lawn looks better than it ever has. Turf Care cleared up problems I was having for years in less than a few treatments. Scott also advised me on how to properly do the overseeding that I did in the fall. I'm sold on Turf Care. The money I am spending is worth it. Plus now I am not spending cash for weed killers and fertilizer that really seemed to not make much of a difference. Plus more time to do other things than the lawn. We plan on keeping Turf Care on a yearly program. Absolutely worth it. The service they give you is professional, courteous and quick to respond even when the customer (like me) is rather unbelieving. Glad I maintained the program.
Description of Work: I finally threw in the towel on taking care of weeds on my acre lot after many years of spraying and pulling. I first reviewed Angies List for a company which was not a national company, which we had a horrible experience with about ten years ago. I signed up for the quarterly service, which was a bit costly I thought but in hindsight was worth every penny. Because I signed up for the quarterly service they threw in a core aeration enabling me to over seed in the Fall of 2011. Starting this spring the weed control started and the fertilizer application was also incorporated. They come out every quarter and at any other time I have an issue.

We would like to thank this member for their kind review, and we’re glad they stayed with the program as well! The hardest thing to do when dealing with lawn problems is to be patient. Depending on the lawns current and growing conditions, it can take some time to fix problems and get it healthy (up to 3 years in extreme situations). Certain products and applications can mask a lot of problems, but not taking the time to fix the underlying problems can lead to unnecessary costs and headaches over the long term. Our goal at Turf Care is to get the lawn as thick and healthy as possible by addressing the real issues that are hindering it rather than trying to mask the problem with an abundance of costly treatments so that we can retain a long term relationship with our customers. Thanks again for your kind words, we appreciate it!

I've had a full season of lawn service from Turf Care and I'm well pleased with their service. My grass has never been better. I've had 3 or 4 different lawn service companies over the past and this is the only one I have been completely happy with their service. i would recommend them to anyone who would like to have a really good lawn service company. Their service is more expensive than most of the other lawn services, but well worth the price.
Description of Work: The company applied a weed killer and lawn fertilizer application. he above cost is for 6 service applications during the season, plus a lawn inspection and estimate based on the size of the lawn to be serviced.

Turf Care has been highly professional to date. They promptly came out and evaluated our property and lawn care needs and provided a reasonable quote. They were quite thorough in defining the services they would provide and also were careful to clearly delineate the things we should do. They have provided two applications since we started and our lawn looks great. Additionally, they have called to make sure we are satisfied and to ask if there was anything that needed attention.

In late April I began searching Angie's List for a lawn care company who could aerate, fertilize and provide lawn pest control services for us. After reading the reviews and contacting several companies, I was convinced that Turf Care was the best fit for our needs and contracted with them to care for our lawn throughout the spring/summer/fall. I appreciated that Alfredo answered all of my questions and allowed me time to weigh my options without pressuring me as did several other lawn care companies. His team also came on-site and conducted a thorough inspection of our lawn prior to providing a detailed course of action and associated quote. I have been absolutely delighted with the service they have provided, to date. Their entire team is professional, punctual and knowledgeable and have gone out of their way to ensure that our family is satisfied with the services provided. Before conducting any treatment, they let me know they're on-site, ask if I have any concerns or questions then let me know of any need to keep the children off the lawn for a short period of time. I queried our dedicated contact, Eric, about some concerns I had with our shurbs during one of his visits and received a call from service that afternoon to ask if someone from their Arbor division could stop by the next day. During the arborists visit, Greg inspected and assessed not only our shurbs and flowering trees but also walked the entire yard to answer questions I had about undergrowth around one of the oaks and the general condition of a choke-cherry. He also instructed me on the best methods for trimming our shurbs. Before he left, he sprayed our boxwoods for an infestation I knew to be present then treated our river birch, roses and several other shrubs that are susceptible to Japanese beetles to ensure that they were not descimated as they had been when we moved into the house last summer. We are very pleased with Turf Care and would highly recommend them to any of our friends and neighbors.

Everything has gone well - lawn is looking great - weeds are being treated (even one treatment at no cost)Still have many more treatments scheduled before the end of the growing season but service has been consisently good and professional. Very pleased.
Description of Work: Initial service was an evaluation of lawn, shrubs and trees - lawn sample and written evaluation was left for review along with information on services recomended, costs and benefits - very professional. Called to schedule services - was notified of time and technician who would be performing - service was performed - left invoice with service info/benefits and costs - again very complete and very professional. Have had additional services to shrubs and trees performed - always the same procedures followed in a very professional manner

We would like to thank this client for their generous review. We are so delighted that they are pleased with both our lawn and tree service so far. Even though our lawn and tree divisions are separate departments, we all reside under one roof, and we all adhere to the same high service level that our customers expect. Again, we’d like to say thanks for the kind words, it’s much appreciated!

This company is INCREDIBLE! First of all, our lawn is the best on the cul de sac, thanks to them, and it was really, really bad when they started! We are thrilled with their service, we love that each time we visit we get a full, customized report about what was done along with evaluations and suggestions, and we really could not be happier. They tailor everything to our specific needs, and there is no one size fits all mentality; it really is truly customized for us. At our prompting, they even helped us reselect a company for our weekly lawnmowing/landscaping service that does a much better job than the people we were using (for cheaper no less!) - all for the sake of having a beautiful, healthy, green lawn. They care so much about what they do, and it shows!
Description of Work: We hired Turf Care early in 2011 to start doing a full lawn fertilization and treatment program. They come out about 6-8 from early spring until late fall, and we were thrilled to continue using them in 2012. We pay about 70 per visit depending on what exactly is done, and the visits are usually monthly from about March to October.

Response from Turf Care Enterprises Inc
We’re honored and humbled that this client used the term “incredible” to describe our service. It’s very fulfilling to be recognized for the fact that we do care about our customers and the service that we provide. We’re also glad to hear that the the landscaper that we recommended is meeting their needs as well. Since we focus all of our efforts into the plant health care side of things, we do not provide any landscape services like weekly mowing, planting, pruning, removal, and/or clean ups, and our clients are regularly looking for these services to be done on their properties. With literally thousands of landscapers out there, it’s difficult to determine which ones will provide good quality work. So in order to help our clients find a quality landscaper, we spend a great deal of time during the winter months meeting with and interviewing different ones, and only recommend those that we feel can provide the high service level that our customers’ expect from us. We are delighted to hear that everything is going well for this client.
