Discover the Turf Care Difference
Lawns in the northwestern Chicagoland suburbs face unique challenges due to the region’s climate and soil conditions. Clay-heavy soils, common in this area, often lead to poor drainage and compaction issues. The extreme temperature fluctuations, from -20°F in winter to 95°F+ in summer, stress grass and create favorable conditions for weeds and pests. Winter road salt damage and periodic summer droughts further compound these problems.
Turf Care Enterprises, Inc.’s lawn care programs are built around the cool-season grasses common in our area, with treatments running from February through November.

Fertilizer Types
Every fertilizer type has strengths and weaknesses, and our local soils need specific nutrients to thrive. Over the past four decades, we’ve tested hundreds of fertilizer types and formulations to find what works best for lawns in our communities.
Custom Fertilizers: The products our lawns needed were rarely available off the shelf, so we had them made. About 80% of the fertilizers in our lawn care programs are custom blended for Turf Care, and you won’t find them in any store.
Granular Fertilizer: We use granular fertilizer in every lawn care program because it supports deeper, stronger root systems. Healthier roots lead to thicker, greener turf that holds up better through the season.
Smart Fertilizer: Our smart fertilizers use a controlled-release coating that lets nutrients out only when your grass can absorb them. Traditional fertilizers release nutrients constantly, so a lot of it goes to waste during hot, dry stretches. Ours keeps feeding your lawn when it counts and keeps more fertilizer out of the environment.
Natural-Based, Holistic Weed Control
Most lawn care companies handle weeds by spraying them, waiting for new ones to show up, and spraying again. The weeds die, but whatever let them grow is still there, so they keep coming back.
We start by figuring out why the weeds are there. It could be thin turf, compacted soil, or a nutrient gap that’s leaving your grass weak. Your lawn specialist corrects the cause and treats any weeds that are already growing with targeted applications. As your lawn fills in and gets stronger, it crowds weeds out on its own and needs less spraying each season.
Unlimited Weed Re-Treatments Between Visits
Weeds don’t wait for your next scheduled visit. If they pop up between treatments, give us a call, and we’ll come back and spray them at no extra charge. There’s no limit, so you never have to put up with weeds until the next round.
