Green Acres Lawn Care & Landscaping

No, we do not currently provide snow plowing services. We have completely discontinued this service for both residential and most commercial properties.

While we previously offered snow plowing in areas like Belvedere and Rockford, we have since decided to exit this line of business. Our primary focus remains on lawn care services.

• We no longer offer snow shoveling or plowing for driveways and sidewalks
• The service was discontinued due to equipment challenges and operational constraints
• We are maintaining only a very limited number of existing commercial snow removal contracts

Our recommendation would be to seek out specialized snow removal services that focus exclusively on winter maintenance.
