Customer reviews for Excel Lawns & Landscape
Lisa Mccrorey
This is extremely tardy, but last fall Isaac did a wonderful job aerating and overseeding our lawn. He took the time and explained the process and was very professional and pleasant. He even insured our backyard gate was closed tightly to keep our dogs from escaping and wreaking havoc on the neighbors. Great experience, will be recommending to friends.
Provider response
Lisa, thank you so much for the kind review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! We’re glad Isaac took great care of your lawn and made the process clear and easy to understand. He always tries to pay attention to the little details, so we’re happy to hear the gate check for your dogs meant something to you.<br><br>Thanks again for supporting Excel Lawns & Landscape and for recommending us to your friends!
Don Fedman
Joe, Isaac, Juan and Andrew did a fantastic job removing the leaves from my property. I would say they removed about 99.6% of all of the leaves on my front and backyard. I was not expecting it to be so perfect because the leaves were wet and heavy. All for these gentlemen were hard-working, polite, friendly and did not complain about the extra effort they had to put in because of the conditions. I hope to see them again next year!
Provider response
We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback, Don! We’re thrilled to hear that Joe, Isaac, Juan, and Andrew delivered such excellent service and exceeded your expectations, even with the tough conditions. Their hard work, professionalism, and positive attitude are something we’re really proud of. Thank you for trusting us with your property, and we’d be happy to serve you again next year!<br><br>– The Excel Lawns & Landscape Team 🌱

Rod Knox
Ryan from Excel lawn.- landscape did an outstanding job on our fall clean up. He showed up on time. Introduced himself to me, then we went over the project. He went to work and had everything completed in 3 to 4 hours, which would have taken my wife and myself several more hours to complete the project plus the sore backs and thighs that we would have for several days. We would recommend Ryan and Excel lawn - landscape.
Provider response
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Rod! We’re thrilled to hear Ryan did an outstanding job and made your fall clean-up so much easier. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him — he’ll really appreciate it! We truly value your recommendation and support.<br><br>– The Excel Lawns & Landscape Team 🌱

Kevin Akers
I have worked with Michael at Excel Lawn & Landscape for several years. He and his team have always been thoughtful, courteous, and professional. Isaac was my latest technician. The yard was very dry and he did a wonderful job running the aerator; clean, neat, and no plowing up the grass. Michael is a veteran who I thank for his service.

Mike Curl
I have to say that excel has been doing an extremely good job at keeping my lawn looking good. As much as I enjoy mowing my own yard, I will definitely keep using them and enjoying the time I get not having to mow. I highly recommend giving excel a chance at making your lawn look fantastic. I will also enjoy not having to shovel this winter as I will let excel take care of that for me as well. Keep up the good work
