For most treatments, you can return to the lawn after the product has dried, typically within one to two hours. If we apply anything requiring longer downtime, your technician will always notify you.
Safety is a priority in every product we choose.
Heat stress, compaction, grub activity, and poor soil health are the most common causes of patchy or thinning summer lawns in Illinois. Our fertilization, aeration, and grub control treatments target each of these issues.
We can identify the exact cause during a free inspection.
Illinois lawns often see dandelions, clover, creeping charlie, crabgrass, thistle, and plantains. Our treatments target both existing weeds and prevent new ones from spreading.
We spot-treat weed growth on every visit.
We are local, licensed, and never rush through treatments. National chains often complete lawns in minutes. 1st Home Lawn Care technicians walk every yard, adjust the product mix based on conditions, and document progress with before and after photos.
This leads to better results and stronger lawn health.
DIY care works for basic upkeep, but seasonal product timing, soil health, pests, and fungus require expert handling. 1st Home Lawn Care uses commercial-grade materials and licensed applicators to deliver better long-term results.
We can design a program that fits your exact lawn.
Yes, we offer seasonal treatments that create a protective barrier around your home. This reduces mosquito activity and helps keep ticks and other pests out of your lawn.
Great for families and pets during the outdoor season.
