    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.

    Cole at Custom Lawn does a great job of keeping us advised on the needs of our lawn. He responds to our requests quickly. Cole lets us know when treatment is scheduled and never treats our lawn unless we have given the ok. We appreciate Cole’s high level of communication. We have used Custom Lawn for 2 years and notice and HUGE difference in our lawn. It is beautiful!!!!

    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!

    We've been using custom lawn with Sean O'Dwyer as our tech for a few years and they are great to work with. When they treat and we follow through with watering our lawn looks great! They've been great when we've needed extra things done like mulching and grounds clean up that I just couldn't get to, and even when our card was compromised and our payment didn't go thru they were very understanding, polite and fresh whole we got our new card. Sean always leaves a detailed email of what he did and what we may want to do without it ever feeling like a pressure sale, just a recommendation of something that could help. Bonus he has NEVER left a gate open and always takes care to make sure my kids and pets are safe.

    During the rainy season you may call it Chaos! I call it good lawn service from Custom Lawn. I have never had a tire Spin in my yard because of mowing wet grass! Luis and Elmer mow, trim, blow off my driveway and patio. They are very courteous, respectful and when they leave my home it is always "a good job well done." Thank you Luis and Elmer. I highly recommend Custom Lawn Service to do your Landscaping and mowing.

    We are absolutely thrilled with the results of Cole Jensen's work from Custom Lawn! Throughout the year, Cole has diligently applied fertilizer to our lawn. Our lawn is lush, green, and immaculate, standing out beautifully compared to our neighbors' yards, which are plagued with weeds and dandelions. Cole's expertise and dedication have truly made a difference, and we couldn't be happier with the service provided. Thank you, Cole, for giving us a lawn we can be proud of!
