They were very thorough in what they do and had recommendations for improving the conditions of our lawn. Communication with them was outstanding, they were always willing to respond to any questions I had.

First let me say that I am extremely particular about my lawn! (Golf Course look is my goal)

I hired Groundhogs Lawn Care mid-season after a quick spreading fungus attacked my lawn killing patches within days! My lawn needed immediate attention to rectify!

Groundhog’s Lawn Care did a site visit and after an extensive conversation, I knew I was hiring the right company! Their knowledge of general lawn care / proper fertilization and watering / fungus identification and correction / and aeration and proper seeding was immense!

Groundhogs took a dying lawn and turned it into a luxurious, thick, green envy! I couldn’t believe it!

Their customer service skills are far about the competition! (Old School) They promptly return phone calls, and answer all questions or concerns you have. I have even received callbacks on Sundays!!!

Flexibility is important! They have adjusted their schedule numerous times to fit mine! That’s HUGE and so difficult during the summer season while managing numerous other clients!

I would like to personally thank Heather, Dave, and Alex for making my life so much easier while creating a stunning lawn neighbors are envious over!! :) You are 10 steps ahead of any competition!! Keep up the great work!!!

Deborah
