We hired the Elite Lawn Care crew to do various tasks around the yard. Their work was excellent. Courteous, professional and efficient - they got more done than we expected! Will have them come back for routine maintenance or when we have a special project. Veteran owned too - have to support our veterans! read more

Very helpful today. Kaleb and Mike went above and beyond to accommodate our needs with incredibly friendly and professional attitude. Great team, I'm lucky to have them on my yard. read more

They ruined my yard. They pulled out all of my greenery around my gazebo when hired for leaf removal for fall.

We contacted Elite Lawn Care to design the side of our garage with new plantings and sidewalk lights. Kaleb and Matt did an outstanding job. They did exactly what we needed and put the lights in just right. We received 7 plants with installation, and the cost was exactly as we asked. Kaleb and Matt were very friendly and professional. I would work with them again. read more

Called on a Saturday for garden bed cleanup, they said they will do the job "next week"... it didn't happen, understood being g that it was memorial day week. Called the office the following Saturday to ask for a date, they said Monday, I took the day off from work and waited ALL day, no one showed up and they did not call! read more

The quality of the work was topnotch, but the billing is extremely aggressive. $76.00 per hour, per man, plus a separate per cubic yard charge for removal of the yard waste is in my humble opinion is nuts. Unless you're immune to sticker shock, look elsewhere. read more

Terrible company , I got them only two times , every second week they charge me 77$ for mowing , they left sooo high grass when they coming next time they charge you double because grass is double high . Of course it is if after three days from your mowing is ready to mow again because they think people are stupid . read more

Hired them last year to design and install a pathway, patio, and new sidewalk. After a year it is falling apart on one side and I'm given nothing but excuse on how it would have cost more if they designed it differently. They had a blank slate and I'm holding the bag because I didn't know a poor design when I saw it. Absolute trash for what I paid for it. read more

The lady I spoke with representing Elite was rude, unprofessional and couldn't handle being asked questions, because when I did, I was hung up on! Unsure as to how Elite stays in business. read more

I requested two quotes from Elite two weeks ago. Just for a simple mulch install and another for something more complex. Nothing. No word. Didn't hear back. Guy came to my house and took pictures and everything, STILL no word back. Don't waste your time with this company. Especially if you have to skip work to be home for the quote or are inconvenienced in any way to meet with one of their staff members....just to NOT receive the quote back. read more

I was looking to get some work done. Figured I'd give Elite a try. Lady who called was very nice. Told her what I wanted and what I had to spend. Big mistake. Not only did the estimate come back conveniently right at my budget for the minimal work, they wanted double what everyone else wanted for the work. Way overpriced. I was looking to get a lot of work done over the next year with my landscaping, but they blew it by being greedy and trying to rip me off. Good Riddance. read more

Not flexible and overpriced. Moving on after 3 years. Clearly their focus is on large customers with a big budget. read more

We have enjoyed Elite Lawn Care for a number of years now. Always a professional job by friendly staff. Our neighbor noticed their efficiency and soon we began talking about all the services and advantages of using Elite Lawn Care. Soon he was also using this service. I believe my neighbor and I have some of the best looking lawns in the neighborhood. read more

The workers are timed as to how long they're at a house. They have twelve minutes to complete the entire grounds so they rush through everything and do not do a quality job. read more

The whole time they were cutting my lawn I was watching them and they kept looking where they missed but just didn't want to take the time to fix it,,,No extra mile here! Plus that cut my sod to the dirt in 2 places!! Once is enough for me!!! read more

Elite does not come out and see the property. I just could not get a fixed price or a way to figure out the actual jobs cost after 4 days talking with them on the phone and emailing them. It can take them days to answer emails or call back. And when they get back to you they can't answer your questions. So the cost for the work is open ended at a $58/hr labor rate. For example, you have no idea if they are going to use rakes to pick up the leaves or use gas powered blowers. They charge by the garbage bin for debris removal, but you don't know if they are going to chip/mulch the leaves and sticks before binning them. So have fun estimating what they are going to charge you for removing the debris. And they were upset that I asked questions that I would think that anyone would ask on a non-fixed cost project. Thankfully a pro from a different landscaping company came out to my house and estimated the job in two minutes. read more

Elite Lawncare has been cutting our grass and shoveling our snow for a little over a year now. They do a fantastic job and are super responsive to communication! Highly recommend! read more

We hired this company when we moved to Crystal Lake, and they were good at first taking care of our lawn. Winter came and we hired them for snow removal and we had two days where it snowed over 2 inches, and nothing!! My husband had to shovel the driveway himself. When he called to inquire why they hadn't removed our snow, the person he spoke with was very abrupt and hung up on my husband. We discontinued all of our services with them. read more

More than a mowing service, Elite Lawn Care has been serving this old timer since 2012. Beyond relieving my time from routine mowing, Mike and his crew have accomplished the landscaping chores, fertilization, weed control, fall cleanup, gutter cleaning, and even reconstructing the terrace and paver walkways. On time and as budgeted, it has been a pleasure being a customer of Elite Lawn Care. Lyle H, Crystal Lake read more

Elite lawncare is reliable and always communicates changes in schedule due to weather and makes you aware of extra available services.

They are very reliable, and listen to the customer. Constant communication if mows are delayed. A little pricey, but I'm sticking with them. CharlesP read more

Fantastic costumer service and knowledgeable landscaping. Elite fixed the mess our past landscaper created and has given us advice on how to make our landscape better in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for people who know their stuff. read more

From my first contact with Becca in the office, I knew I picked the right company. My lawn is already looking better and most importantly, they do what they say they're going to do. I have already signed up for additional services. read more

Great service. At fair prices. They do very good work.

I am only two weeks into using Elite Lawn Care for the cutting of my lawn and despite ALL of the rain we have been getting this spring, they not only were able to get my lawn cut relatively on schedule but their clean up was excellent AND their communication and feedback was superb! Rey was very friendly and knowledgable and the office staff I spoke with on the phone were so very nice & made me feel like a special customer. I am convinced I made the right decision hiring this company and am looking forward to a long and positive relationship with Elite Lawn Care! read more

I live in Crystal Lake and Victor's crew #4 is assigned to my lawn. Victor's and his crew are amazing. To say that I am picky is an understatement. I owned a landscape company for 23 years and never thought I would have to hire another company to service my lawn. I am very familiar with lawn and landscape maintenance, as well as landscape construction and commercial work. I hired Elite because I needed a reliable company that I knew that would show up every week and would bill me automatically. I was also wanting to incorporate snow plowing as well. I live in Florida and return to Crystal Lake for a few days every other month, I needed reliability. I had a few complaints in the begining, last year (2018) that were addressed. Then I was late sending in my snow plow contract..... I had to hire someone else for plowing last winter, thank goodness I still know people in the industry. I assumed that lawn mowing would continue as it was from 2018 when 2019 season started, but nope. I suggest contacting them early if you want service. Since I did not contact them early, luckily they fit me into their schedule (of course at a premium). So we are near the end of the 2019 mowing season. They were here like clockwork and I paid 25% more for lawn mowing than last year. The only reason I would continue at this price is if they don't change crews. read more

We've used several different lawn care companies and Elite is the best by far! Very happy with service and communication from Mike!

Elite Lawncare came out today and did a great job on our fall cleanup! Good hardworking guys!!

Elite has been good about being prompt with service, and GREAT about communication. They also offer a variety of additional services throughout the year, including hanging exterior Christmas lights! read more

We have been using Elite for years and will continue to do so! They care for their customers and do an excellent job!

Mike and his team do outstanding work. They are timely and complete things quickly and courteously. The only challenges have been occasional challenges with billing that were resolved quickly. read more

I just used this company to hang Christmas lights. I was quoted $47/per man per hour to hang my already pre-owned lights. The crew of 2 showed up at 8:30 am had a couple of issues so they hung around until my husband could resolve them at 10:15 am. At which time another crew member showed up, apparently to supervise the crew that needed to hang 2 strands of lights on the house. The supervisor then left at 11:30 am to go get yet another crew member. At 12:30 pm we had to ask them to leave because we figured this company was doing nothing but taking advantage of the hourly rate which we were told we received a deal on because they weren't going to charge for the FOURTH person at our house. Short story DO NOT use this company, at least for Holiday decorations! read more

Mike's crew from Elite came out to our property this week for an annual clean up and mulch installation. I was very impressed with the work done. It is a pleasure to see workers who take pride in doing a great job. Thanks, Mike read more

The best lawn service we have ever used. I called them after a horrible experience with Scotts lawn care. Elite is very reasonably priced and the best quality. My lawn looks fantastic and never looked better! read more
