    We have been using Custom Lawn for our mowing, tree care, sprinkler service and landscaping and leaf clean-up needs over the past eight years. Year after year, we continue to sign up with Custom Lawn because they continue to deliver. The Office Staff are always cheerful and ready to help. Communication regarding upcoming services or any delays due to weather are thorough and always welcome. The Technicians, whether mowers, landscapers or others all seem to be driven by doing a job well done and Customer Satisfaction. This past year, winterizing our sprinkler system was a bit more challenging. Thankfully, Jason Greenlee has been doing the service on our sprinkler for at least the past five years. As such, he knows our system and all the "idiosyncrasies" the previous owner designed into it. He was able to get past the issues with the valves and such and got us winterized in time to prevent any damage. Jason is just one of the many Custom Lawn Team Members who have the experience, and desire, to get the difficult jobs done and done right. We have had multiple neighbors sign up with Custom Lawn for their lawn care after seeing the consistent results on our property year after year. If you are contemplating changing your lawn care provider, or are considering your first foray into hiring out, you should really put Custom Lawn first on your list to call. Thank you TEAM CUSTOM LAWN for making the space around our home so beautiful!! Wishing you all the best for a great 2024. Cheers, Dan Elman

    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!
    We have relied on Custom Lawn & Landscaping for years and are very pleased with them. Our lawn looks fantastic and I would highly recommend them.

    I can’t say enough about how pleased we have been with Custom Lawn & Landscape. Cole has been our service provider for the past few years, and we have converted several of our neighbors over to Custom Lawn based on how much our yard has improved since then. He also provided some great input and helped us to rehab an area in our backyard that was damaged during some deck construction. They have also done a great job of maintaining our sprinkler system and overseeding and aerating in the fall. We highly recommend them!
