Photo of Myles T.'s yard after getting lawn care in Chicago, IL
I had a great experience with Israel! They efficiently cut both the front and back yard, leaving everything neat and clean. They also trimmed the neighbor’s bushes that were hanging into my yard, making the space look much better and more open. They were professional, courteous, and very detail-oriented. I highly recommend Israel for anyone that wants reliable, thorough yard maintenance and friendly service.

I am very pleased with my Pro Larry and his crew. They continue to do great work, and my yards look amazing. They always show up no matter the weather. Their work speaks for itself. They're very professional and pleasant, and they even go the extra mile exceeding my expectations. My grass looks healthy, and I am well pleased with the work that they continue to do with my yards. I recommend their services.

Kate R.'s grass cutting service result
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!

I was very happy and impressed with the work Tracey did today. He came and did a quality job with manicuring the lawn all while providing efficient service.

Chyreese N.'s lawn care services service result
Cornelius was great and very professional! He assessed my lawn, discussed the plan of care with me, and did a great job with cutting, edging, and keeping everything neat in my patio grass area. Additionally, he wore booties I had to protect my floors from tracking anything inside. He recommended additional services as well once I’m ready! I feel confident that I can manage my lawn with his support. I appreciate the service and am happy that I stuck it out. I was frustrated earlier due to a miscommunication. I recommend the company give workers access to customer phone numbers upon arrival if you prefer a phone call, so you do not miss the workers when they arrive. Other than that, the service was great and it only took an hour. Thank you for the great work and much appreciated until next time!
