    My husband and I heard Steven St John on sports radio 810 in Lawrence and his testimonial about Custom Lawn & Landscape made us call.  We initially worked with Troy, the sales manager, who was WONDERFUL to do business with.  He set up an on-site free consult with one of their account managers.  We travel a lot for work and don’t have the time to maintain a aesthetically pleasing property.  We asked for a landscape estimate and the job was completed quickly, for the exact amount quoted, and the crew did AMAZING work!  They have even make our lawn look more green and the weeds were dying within the first couple of treatments.  Couldn’t be happier to have found Custom Lawn!  Our neighbors are jealous our landscape is more beautiful than it’s ever been.  So Troy, Dave and the Custom Lawn team, thank you for making our lives easier!  You guys are AWESOME!

    Sean O’D took over the lawn care for my yard last year. It was in poor to mediocre shape with wild violets and bare spots. But after a year under his care, this spring my lawn is like green carpet. Deep green color and thick without weeds, violets and bare spots. My neighbors have commented on how lush my lawn looks. I’m very pleased.

    Jason did a tremendous job repairing a break in the irrigation system and getting the sprinklers ready for the year. He was very knowledgeable, easy to work with, and communicative. I’ll be working with Custom on winterization of my sprinklers moving forward.
    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.
