Established in 2002, Emerald Lawn Care was different from the beginning. Our professionals have always delivered personal service and a custom program. We want you to have a beautiful, thriving landscape, but we do not want to waste your money on unnecessary treatments that add needless chemicals into the environment.

Emerald Supports K9s for Veterans

April 2025

Our team proudly presented a monetary donation to K9s for Veterans, in partnership with the Des Plaines Elks Lodge, whose members contributed additional donations.

K9s for Veterans is a Chicago-based nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) transition back to civilian life by pairing them with professionally trained service dogs. These dogs are adopted from shelters and trained to provide emotional support and stability, at no cost to the veteran. The organization also covers the full cost of food and medical care for each service dog for life.

We’re honored to support a mission that not only saves the lives of shelter dogs but also empowers veterans on their path to healing.

Emerald Donates to The Buddy Foundation

August 2025

Emerald Lawn Care proudly donated to The Buddy Foundation, a volunteer-run no-kill animal shelter in Arlington Heights, IL, located in the heart of the branch’s service area. This organization has helped place pets with loving families in the community for many years.

With many Emerald employees being pet owners and animal lovers, supporting The Buddy Foundation was a special opportunity. When dropping off the donation, our team toured the cat rooms and the spaces where adopters meet dogs, making the experience even more meaningful.   Learn More about the Buddy Foundation
