I am always happy with the work Good Nature does to keep my lawn as green and manicured as possible even when drought conditions persist. Thanks, Good Nature!

Good Nature was the solution. Since starting to use them last fall and mowing the lawn ourselves at a healthy height, we've seen a noticeable difference in the thickness of the lawn, the color, and the presence of weeds which has been significantly reduced. Our dog no longer licks or bites his paws when he comes in from the yard...and the best part is since everything is natural, you don't have to stay off the lawn at all!

I've been using Good Nature for two years and have been pleased with their service, consultation, and most of all, the way my lawn has improved - naturally. We got rid of Creeping Charlie, and thickened and greened up our front and back lawn. We are also pleased with their mosquito solution - though you better like garlic ;-)

So happy we found an organic solution for our lawn maintenance. We always thought we needed chemicals to keep our lawn green and weed free, but that is definitely not the case. Even with 3 large dogs, are grass has never looked so good. It’s a great feeling knowing our pups are safe, as well as our grand babies.

So happy I found this company! The lawn consultants have helped me multiple times already and I’m a new customer. The company has fresh & good ideas about caring for your lawn or even a reconstruction that I didn’t even know could be easily possible. The tech that serviced was great and it’s silly (maybe) but my lawn already looks greener

The team at Good Nature are always friendly and knowledgeable. They interact in a positive way with my dog and kids when they are home and give great tips to keep my grass looking healthy. This last time there were tree trimming crews on my street and the tech. had to park a house away. He was aware that parking in front of my house would have blocked the street and made it impossible for cars to get through.

Branch Foreman James Hofer and our Chicago technicians care for lawns in 16 North Shore towns, from Evanston to Lake Forest, out of our office in Northbrook.
No chemical herbicides, insecticides, or fungicides. Just natural solutions for a healthier lawn that's safer for your family, pets, and the environment.
Your needs and goals guide our approach. We'll work with you to find the right solutions, make adjustments, and ensure you're happy with the results.
Rather than simply treating weeds, we focus on creating the conditions that help grass thrive and outcompete them.

We feed the soil, strengthen the grass, and naturally suppress weeds, so lawns grow thicker, greener, and healthier.
Organic-based lawn care companies add a small amount of organic material to their fertilizers and often use all the standard lawn care chemicals.
Our Natural Foundation Program eliminates chemicals and feeds the grass, not the weeds, giving you a beautiful, healthy lawn without poisons.
These companies heavily rely on the use of chemical insecticides, chemical pre-emergent herbicides, chemical weed killers, and chemical fungicides.
Alec founded Good Nature in 1999, inspired by his childhood spent playing sports on the family lawn. His passion for creating healthier, chemical-free spaces continues today, along with his love of family, touch football, and improving Good Nature.
You would be hard-pressed to find a more genuine, hard-working, and technically skilled individual than James. He has been an awesome addition to our growing Chicago Team and we hope you get the chance to meet him in the field.
With a generous heart and an unwavering work ethic, Adan brings a great attitude and robust experience in maintaining beautiful landscapes. He has a soft spot for animal wellness, which aligns perfectly with our mission.
Donovan is kind, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about living an organic lifestyle. His hard work is enhanced by his formal education in Botany, and hobby or studying organic remedies.
Joe brings a grounded, ecology-first mindset to the team, applying hands-on restoration experience to help lawns function more like healthy, resilient ecosystems.
Ethan brings valuable industry experience, a genuine passion for learning, a positive outlook, and an unwavering commitment to giving his best in every endeavor.
Good Nature uses natural, organic ingredients instead of conventional chemical weed killers, insecticides, and fungicides. Our treatments are designed with families, pets, and the environment in mind. You can enjoy your lawn immediately after dry applications or once liquid treatments have dried.
Yes! Organic Lawn Care improves soil health, strengthens grass roots, and helps your lawn naturally resist weeds, pests, and diseases. While results can take longer than chemical treatments, Good Nature's organic approach builds a healthier, greener lawn that becomes more resilient over time.
We don't kill weeds the way standard lawn care companies do by using herbicides that kill them quickly, but over time, working together, we can help you enjoy a beautiful lawn with far fewer weeds than you'd have by not doing anything. We fight weeds by creating really healthy grass that competes with them.
Our Natural Foundation Organic Lawn Care Program contains organic, feed-quality ingredients that nourish the soil and promote healthy grass growth. Our Natural Weed Buster treatments feed the grass nutrients it likes, but common Chicago-area lawn weeds don't, thereby discouraging weed growth. Our Natural Foundation program includes 2 Natural Weed Buster treatments, but if weeds are a big issue for you, additional treatments are available. In addition, seeding is a great way to help your lawn compete with weeds. Our special grasses really fight weeds much better than normal grass varieties. To make a long story short, yes, we can fight weeds organically if you are a little patient and willing to work with us to customize an approach to meet your needs.
Crabgrass is an annual weed that dies each winter and leaves seeds behind to germinate the next season. The best way to fight crabgrass is to have a thick, healthy lawn (our program and seeding help with that) and to mow and trim it properly. Our Natural Foundation Program will provide some natural crabgrass suppression, but if you are very concerned about it, you might consider seeding with tougher grasses or additional treatments of our Natural Crabgrass Buster with Corn Gluten Meal.
Unlike chemical treatments that kill weeds quickly, Organic Lawn Care focuses on building healthier soil and stronger grass for lasting results. You'll see improvements along the way, but the timeline depends on your lawn's condition. Compacted soil, thin grass, or stubborn weeds may require additional treatments, which we will inform you of during our lawn evaluations.
Yes! Our Organic Landscape Weed Suppression service helps reduce unwanted weeds in mulch beds, patios, driveways, and other landscaped areas. We use a natural ammonium soap of fatty acids, instead of conventional chemical herbicides, helping you maintain beautiful outdoor spaces, while keeping your family, pets, and our environment safe.
Good Nature offers natural pest control solutions to help repel mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, ants, crawling insects, mice, and other rodents. Instead of synthetic chemical insecticides, like Pyrethroids and Neonicotinoids, we use natural plant extracts to keep bothersome pests away from your home and yard.
Treatment frequency depends on the service. Our Organic Lawn Care Program includes 8 applications, Our Yard Bug Barrier for mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas includes 4 treatments, Our Home Bug Barrier for ants and crawling insects includes 6 seasonal treatments, and our Organic Rodent Control Program offers monthly visits year-round. Other services require just one visit. There are no contracts, so you can cancel anytime and receive a refund for uncompleted services.
Pricing depends on your property's size, condition, and the services you choose. Whether you're interested in Organic Lawn Care, Natural Landscape Care, or Organic Pest Suppression, we offer programs tailored to your property's needs, and your goals.
