    Had Jason come out today. Really took his time to resolve the issue. Spent hours making sure that it was right and everything was working smooth. Can't say enough about how detailed his work was and clean up after work was done. Really made the effort to make sure all issues were resolved. Highly recommend Custom Lawn & Landscaping Co. Highly recommend their sprinkler system technician Jason!!
    Seth days a great job with our yard every time. He sends reminders when he is coming. He is timely, efficient, and gives us a thorough report after he is done! We appreciate him helping us make our yard look good!
    The best company around the kc metro
    Wonderful service all year. Always on time, my yard had never looked better.
    Thanks for the extra care you have shown me. Thanks, Pam Thomas
    I just had a terrific experience with Tom. He went above and beyond to help with our issues, save us money and teach us how our system works. And I feel like the prices are very reasonable, so that's a bonus!!
    Needed to get my sprinkler system up and running for the year. Troy was able to get me taken care of pretty quickly! Would definitely recommend!
    Best part is that Customs lawn care program is cheaper than the package you get from the local nurseries. And Seth and Sean care about my yard almost as much as I do! They tailored my treatments to my soil samples and not I have the best yard in the neighborhood!! Team Custom Lawn for the win!!
    Jason at Custom Lawn and Landscape was absolutely wonderful. We had an issue getting our sprinkler system to start up this season and he knew exactly how to fix it. Was very informative, answered all my questions and was very personable. Highly recommend Jason.
    Sean O’Dywer was wonderful! Answered all my questions, very thorough and professional, always prompt!
    Custom lawn have always taken great care of us. Highly recommend!
    We had winterization done by technician Rene Flores and he was patient, respectful, and detailed-oriented. I was very happy about his great service and will sign up again next year!
    Rodrigo came out to winterize my sprinkler system. What an amazing ambassador for your company and very knowledgeable and efficient w the Rachio system! Custom Lawn is fortunate to have such a quality team member and technician! Thank you Radrigo and Cuatom Lawn!

    2024 Update:
    Yet again, Jason comes in clutch. This time I had an actual irrigation "emergency" and he immediately knew what to do when he saw it. He also spent the time to educate me on why the issue occurred and made suggestions for the future. I honestly don't know how this guy doesn't run his own operation by now. He's a gem.
    ---------------
    2023 Update:
    I wrote my first review a year ago and I just wanted to come back online and give an update. I've continued using this company and wouldn't dream of going to anyone else. Jason, once again, was truly the best. He's beyond knowledgeable and wants what's best for each of his customers. I really appreciate the time he spends talking through everything before, during and after the service. 10/10 would recommend...still.

    2022 REVIEW:
    I have been searching for a good company to become my go-to irrigation folks and I've 100% found it in Custom Lawn & Landscape. Setting up my appointment through Billy was super easy and he listened to my concerns about a previous experience with another company. He assured me that I would get the best by choosing CL&L.
    They gave me plenty of heads up for my appointment window and Jason G. (the Irrigation Dept. Manager) showed up right on time. He was super kind and very educational. I like to learn and he was all about explaining everything in detail. He found a couple things that were causing issues and after getting my approval, he quickly handled the repair right then and there. He also priced a new controller for me so I could go ahead and start saving up for it as mine is quite a dinosaur!
    I'll definitely continue to use this company for my irrigation needs! I highly recommend them. Bring on summer! Thanks again Jason!
    Excellent - Jason does great job. Best in the business.
    I had Custom Lawn out for a sprinkler repair in June. After rebuilding a valve, it wasn't working again a few weeks later. I called my guy, Jason, and he came out no charge and rewired the zone. No company is perfect. I appreciate the prompt service to make it right.
    They are the most reliable, professional, and responsive company I think I have ever interacted with.
    Had Jason come out today. Really took his time to resolve the issue. Spent hours making sure that it was right and everything was working smooth. Can't say enough about how detailed his work was and clean up after work was done. Really made the effort to make sure all issues were resolved. Highly recommend Custom Lawn & Landscaping Co. Highly recommend their sprinkler system technician Jason!!
    I would like to thank Jason with custom lawn & landscape he really took care of us every time I have called they take care of us and really do an awesome job I can’t thank them enough I would recommend custom lawn & landscape they are great people
    Seth at Custom Lawn does an awesome job for us! Thank you Seth!
    We've used Custom Lawn for lawn care and aeration for about five years with great results. It's great having the same technician year round. We just had them install a sprinkler system (in a yard filled with large rocks)--Tim, Jason and the rest of the crew were great. After the install the aeration crew filled in the voids (because of the rock removal) with high-quality top soil. We're were pleased with their service as always, and will continue recommending them .

    Update fours later--still very happy with their service. Cole for lawn applications and Jason for irrigation changes.
    Cory work is perfect. He pays attention to the details.
    Will be glad to recommend his service.

    Seth did a great job starting my yard's spring cleanup & mowing
    Custom Lawn's knowledgeable sprinkler team of Jason & Rene' recently installed a new drip line system to our front/side landscape. The project was bid and completed in an expert and timely manner, we will call on them again if future needs arise.
    Seth has been providing the fertilizer treatments for my lawn for several years now. The lawn looks great - deep green and full. He is careful with the treatments to minimize overspray. He always lets me know a day in advance when he is coming.
    Thank you, Seth, for doing such a great job for us!
    I have been using Custom Lawn and Landscape for 2 years. Seth, my technician, has done a great job bringing my lawn back to life. Custom's prices are reasonable and the service is great.
    Seth is simply the best! He is wonderful to partner with, gives solid advice and solutions for our yard. If it weren’t for him, our yard would look as beautiful as it does. His customer service is truly off the charts exceptional.
    Seth always does an amazing job of caring for our lawn as if it was his own. The post-visit updates are always informative and if/when he sees that something might be starting to develop, he proactively communicates that before it becomes a problem. He's a great ambassador for Custom.
    Seth always does a great job with my lawn. He is always flexible if I need to reschedule and lets me know personally when he is coming out or if he sees something needing attention.

    Thanks Seth!
    Best part is that Customs lawn care program is cheaper than the package you get from the local nurseries. And Seth and Sean care about my yard almost as much as I do! They tailored my treatments to my soil samples and not I have the best yard in the neighborhood!! Team Custom Lawn for the win!!
    Rene helped complete our spring sprinkler commissioning and fixed some leaks in our sprinkler system. He did a fantastic job, was very helpful at walking through the issues and solution, and he was very responsive to quickly come back out to fix the leaks. I would highly recommend him and his service!
    Seth days a great job with our yard every time. He sends reminders when he is coming. He is timely, efficient, and gives us a thorough report after he is done! We appreciate him helping us make our yard look good!
    Needed to get my sprinkler system up and running for the year. Troy was able to get me taken care of pretty quickly! Would definitely recommend!
    We have had lawn care provided for several years by Custom Lawn. No one does a better job with weekly mowing, trimming and edging than Samuel and his father. Consistently excellent. Jason is our go to guy for anything related to our sprinkler system. We recently had Mike, Romero, and Jesus install our spring mulch in all our landscape beds and they worked into the evening to make everything look just right. Great team.
    I highly recommend Custom Lawn & Landscape. I am a very satisfied customer of Custom Lawn & Landscape for over 20 years. They always provide me with honest and great service at a competitive price. Tom came to my house today for a service call and went above and beyond for me. I very much appreciate the excellent service that Tom provided to me today.
    I just had a terrific experience with Tom. He went above and beyond to help with our issues, save us money and teach us how our system works. And I feel like the prices are very reasonable, so that's a bonus!!
    Jason was great!
    The crew from Custom Lawns & Landscaping did a great job planting, mulching and repositioning our soakers in our backyard island. Inclement weather did not prevent them from completing the job. Thanks.
    We have been using Custom Lawn & Landscape for over five years now and have always had great experiences. By far, the best in the area. I recently had the pleasure of having Jason Greenlee assist me with a repair and to get his opinion on another issue. He was INCREDIBLE and super helpful! Great experiences like this is why I won't be going anywhere else for my lawn and landscape needs!
    Sara has helped me everytime I call. She is so good to communicate our needs to Samuel and his team who do a nice job with our lawn.
    We have used Custom Lawn & Landscape for a few years now and they really are a wonderful company. The mowers do a really nice job and clean up is top notch. We have hired them for other services and have no complaints. Their people are friendly, professional and show up when they say they will. Everyone in the office I have spoken with are always lovely and helpful but I have to give a shout out to Troy. He has worn a lot of hats through Custom Lawn and is a standout to us because of his incredible lawn care knowledge and friendly nature. You can tell he cares about the customers and does not hesitate to explain things or address any questions or concerns. It is nice to always hear a friendly voice when you call in and that makes a huge difference. I highly recommend this company. You will not regret it. :)
    I had to update my review to include a good experience I had talking with Sam in their pest control department. He was very nice to talk to and answered all of my questions with a lot of knowledge behind his answers. He offered me different options and really worked to offer the best price possible. Thank you, Sam!
    Chad was thorough, cheerful and completed our sprinkler system setup so it is ready to go! He is highly qualified for challenging jobs! I highly recommend Custom Lawn and Landscape!
    I cannot recommend Jason @ Custom Lawn & Landscape enough! He has been working on our annual sprinkler on/off for the last 5 years. He doesn't just turn the system on/off but takes the time to walk you thru and gives that extra service most people in the industry don't. Five stars all the way for Jason & Custom Lawn-Landscape
