    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.
    Sean O'Dwyer has helped care for our yard through Custom Lawn and Landscape for a few years. Sean is polite, prompt and very professional. We highly recommend Sean and the team at Custom Lawn and Landscape. Good Work, guys!

    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.
