Organic Lawn Care

Our 100% organic lawn care programs focus on soil health using OMRI-listed fertilizers, natural weed control, and sustainable practices. Services include aeration, overseeding, and pest management without synthetic chemicals. We prioritize long-term turf density to outcompete weeds while ensuring safety for families, pets, and pollinators. Customized plans adapt to Midwest climate challenges.

Landscape Design

We create ecologically beneficial landscapes incorporating native plants, permeable hardscapes, and water management solutions. Our process includes on-site consultations, tailored design plans, and expert installation of patios, gardens, and drainage systems. Projects range from residential redesigns to commercial installations, emphasizing sustainability and functional beauty.

Our Zero Tolerance snow removal program ensures safe, clear properties using eco-friendly ice melt and real-time GPS tracking. Services include 24/7 emergency response, route customization, and proactive client communication.

Battery-powered maintenance services include mowing, pruning, seasonal cleanups, and flower rotations. We offer weekly or bi-weekly visits using low-emission equipment, mulch installation, and horticultural expertise.

Still waiting for my design and proposal from Spring 2021.....it's now December. The employee came out and said he would get back to me.......I guess they don't need the business.

You pay a premium for organic lawn care and you expect to see some results. The previous owners did not take care of their lawn and we had our work cut out for us. We hired Greenwise and our lawn looked exactly the same a year later. There was still a ton of weeds, crabgrass, etc. You name it, we had it. We wasted a lot of money on nothing, we ended up hiring another local landscaper to cut our lawn and Turfcare to take care of our weddings and seeding and now we are seeing a huge difference. Don't waste your time or money.

So far used them for some landscape design (including planting a tree), lawn maintenance, hardscape weed remediation, and cedar oil bug spray. I typically contact them over email, and they've been quite responsive. I initially started out with one service and realized I needed more over time. This is the first time I've had to deal with over an acre of land... I greatly appreciate the green approach as it keeps toxins out of the lake. Lawn as been looking really good. Will definitely continue using them next year.

I seem to be having the same issue several others have had.
Greenwise set up an appointment to come out to give me a quote, I made the effort to get away from work to be there to meet with them. I was told that I would have the quote within the week.......... and I think that we know the story from there, never got a quote! I emailed them asked again for a quote, they wrote back that they had several quotes to get out and that I should have it in a day or two. Now after more than a month, still no quote, nothing.
Im assuming this a good indicator of how reliable their business is, zero follow

Our lawn has never looked better (even in this Spring of little rain). And we appreciate how the feed and fertilizer is safe for our dog. We've been a customer for over 10 years. The lawn technician even remembers our dog's name!
