The Bite:
Neglected yard need a rescue, kemo sabe? Hi-yo Eco Care! After a free consult, this Ravenswood lawn and landscaping biz'll whip your outdoor space into shape - planting, mowing, and otherwise sprucing up, using only organic fertilizer (on flowers too if you've got 'em) and nontoxic weed battlers like corn gluten. While it hasn't made the leap to reel mowers, EC opts for propane (more fuel-efficient and emits less CO2 than gas) and saves clippings for mulch. Got even bigger projects like, say, building a new recycled wood deck? It can wrangle that up too.
Why Care?: 
Toxic chems in conventional fertilizers can run off into groundwater, contaminating our drinking water and harming aquatic life.
Last spring, EC popped by twice a month and turned our brown patch of weeds into a lush, tulip-y beaut.
Wanna Try: 
Eco Care Landscaping & Construction, (773-459-9575). Lawn maintenance, $25-$30/week.

Cocktail Fact

Born in Chicago in 1914, The Lone Ranger star Clayton Moore began performing as a circus acrobat at age 8.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Chicago Biters use organic products instead of pesticides on their lawns, we'll keep the weight of nine Tontos in toxic chems outta the environment.
