I’ve been using MRW for over a year and they have been great. My front lawn was completely bare, but they were about to rejuvenate it and now it’s full of grass. I highly recommend their service.

Hired MRW a number of years ago to help get my lawn on a plan to improve its look. Definitely looking awesome and every tech knows how to bring out the best in the lawn. Thanks Nathan for the wonderful first treatment in 2026...I can't wait to see how things improve.
Response from MRW Lawns, Inc.
Thank you for your fantastic review, Shelley! It’s wonderful to hear that your lawn is looking awesome and that Nathan provided such a great first treatment this year. We’re glad our team is making a positive impact on your lawn care journey. Your enthusiasm for the improvements ahead is truly appreciated!
Mr. Cory was professional and ensured positive representation of MRW. He appeared early in uniform and ensured that I knew he was on my property. Addition, he ensured the safety of my dog by securing my gates. Lastly, he used the blower to clean up any excess fertilizer on my driveway and sidewalks. I value attention to details therefore, I gladly give Mr. Cory a 5/5 star rating—well done.✅
Response from MRW Lawns, Inc.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Arlinda! It’s wonderful to hear that Cory made such a positive impression with his professionalism and attention to detail. Ensuring your dog's safety and keeping your property tidy are certainly important aspects of our service. We appreciate your kind words and the 5-star rating!
Pablo and his partner shoveled a pile of snow off our front lawn before they applied our first lawn treatment of the year. As always, they also used a leaf blower to remove the granular fertilizer that had scattered on our driveway, walkway, and back patio. They were very friendly and conscientious! Well done!
Response from MRW Lawns, Inc.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Joyce! It's great to hear that Pablo and his partner provided such attentive service, ensuring everything was cleared before your lawn treatment. We appreciate your kind words about their friendliness and conscientiousness. Your satisfaction is important to us!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn’t be happier with the lawn service I received! He came out and did a full fertilizer application along with core aeration and overseeding. The work was done thoroughly and professionally, and he took the time to explain the process so I knew exactly what to expect. I’m confident this treatment will make a huge difference as the new grass takes root. He was prompt, respectful of the property, and left everything neat and tidy when finished. If you’re looking for someone dependable, knowledgeable, and committed to helping your yard look its best, I highly recommend his services. I’ll definitely be calling him again for future lawn care needs!

Your confidence in the treatment means a lot to us, and we appreciate your recommendation. It's great to know you plan to reach out for future lawn care needs!
Been getting my lawn treated by MRW since spring and have seen great improvement. Today William did the core slice and seeding along with an assistant and they were very thorough and efficient. William took time to answer some of my questions regarding how certain weeds are treated and the best time for it. Pleased with their work.
Response from MRW Lawns, Inc.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Darren! We're delighted to hear about the improvements you've seen in your lawn since starting treatments. It's great to know that William and his assistant provided thorough and efficient service while addressing your questions. We appreciate your feedback and are glad you’re pleased with their work!
I've been a MRW customer for over a year now. The service I received today from Dekeidrian H. was truly exceptional and very much appreciated. He exhibited professionalism throughout the entire process, and was notably kind and patient while addressing my questions. It was evident that he possessed extensive knowledge about lawn care. Dekeidrian performed a thorough spraying of my yard, ensuring complete coverage. Furthermore, he took the time to clearly explain the rationale behind the fertilizer choice. His dedication to the task and commitment to customer satisfaction did not go unnoticed. Overall, the experience was positive and reassuring.
From the time Samual got to my property it was go time. He was very knowledgeable about the product being applied and kept me informed from start to finish. I couldn't be more satisfied with not only Sam but the entire team at MRW!
MRW Lawns is the best at quality lawn care that is ideal for environment and best value. Henson treated my lawn today for moles and crabgrass. He did a thorough job and it really shows in the health of my lawn! I’m a long time client and I can’t say that about many services. Highly recommend you look at what they have to offer.
Response from MRW Lawns, Inc.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Henson and the results you’re seeing in your lawn's health.
I wasn’t impressed at all. I had service for 2 full years ($1700+) and saw no improvement in the health or look of my grass. A couple of times during that time period I questioned if service was actually rendered.
Response from MRW Lawns, Inc.
We’re very sorry to hear that you weren’t satisfied with your results. We appreciated the opportunity to care for your lawn and made several efforts along the way to support your success, from timing your seeding for better results to addressing concerns as they came up. That said, we know it’s frustrating when expectations aren’t met. If you’re ever open to revisiting your lawn goals with us, we’d love the chance to take a fresh look and work toward results you can feel good about.
Five Stars for MRW Lawns, Inc. MRW Lawns, Inc. is the kind of company that still believes in people, even while delivering best-in-class lawn care. Year after year, my lawn has been healthy, green, and plush—proof that their smarty-priced service works. But what truly sets them apart is their professionalism and customer-first approach. During a work pause, their customer service team didn’t skip a beat. They worked with me—no hassle, no hesitation—to make sure my service continued without interruption. That kind of grace and flexibility is rare in any business, let alone a lawn care service. Outstanding, consistent, and rooted in real care—MRW Lawns is a company I highly recommend to anyone looking to elevate their yard without breaking the bank.

UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO REPLY: From other reviews and speaking with the company, I believe there are two types of customers for MRW Lawns: 1-people who have an unlimited budget and will allow any and all treatments recommended regardless of cost; 2-the rest of us. I have seen some of the yards they maintain where money is no object and they are GORGEOUS so good on MRW for being very good at their job when the resources are unlimited. For the rest of us, though, they're basically a pyramid scheme. Before you work with them, just decide which category you fall into and adjust your expectations accordingly. Yes, they reached out and wanted to reassess and blah blah blah but...at what cost? That was the biggest issue - everything was just another thing to raise my bill. I'm just not willing to write a blank check for a yard. I was really excited about this company based on neighborhood recommendations and I am sad to say I have been completely disappointed. I moved into my house in January and the lawn was in really nice shape. After some bad experiences with other lawns, I wanted to be proactive to maintain the nice lawn and explained that to the MRW rep. I signed up for the standard treatments and followed their regular maintenance and care recommendations for mowing and watering. After 9 months, almost my ENTIRE yard is crabgrass. I asked them about it and the rep told me to be patient as the treatments will kill the crabgrass over time. Maybe I have special mutant crabgrass but their treatments never made a dent in the growth and definitely didn't kill a single blade of it - it seemed to fertilize it to grow faster. But I trusted them and stayed patient hoping that maybe today I'll start seeing the leaves turning purple and dying off...nope. My crabgrass is trying to go to see AGAIN. Another rep told me that it can take multiple years to 'get a lawn in good shape' but my lawn was ALREADY IN GOOD SHAPE! I wasn't starting from a bad place but now I have to pull an entire yard's worth of crabgrass by hand after throwing money away on worthless treatments that did nothing but fertilize the crabgrass. Maybe I just didn't spend enough money to get the real/good treatments. I just didn't think I needed anything all that involved since my lawn was starting from such a nice place. Very frustrated.
Response from MRW Lawns, Inc.
Samantha, thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We regret that our treatments didn’t meet your expectations and understand your frustration. From our records, we see that you’ve been a part of our Lawn Care Program since April. However, there may have been a miscommunication regarding the goals of our standard Lawn Care Program. Crabgrass can be particularly invasive, and managing it effectively often requires pre-emergent treatments in the spring. Since we don't spray for crabgrass in the summer, its growth can sometimes continue even with regular treatments. Factors like soil conditions and the types of weeds present can affect results, and it can take more than one season to see significant improvement. We’ve made multiple attempts to check in with you and discuss your lawn and would love the opportunity to re-evaluate your property with your account manager. We could then create a customized plan to help tackle your crabgrass issue and restore your lawn’s health. Please feel free to reach out to us at 301-870-3411 so we can schedule an evaluation. We appreciate your patience and hope to work with you on improving your lawn.
MRW is effective at producing good enough results to show initial progress during the standard 4-5 treatments per year. However, it is only after the most basic of broadleaf treatment portfolio that the sales and service team tell the client that an additional suite of broadleaf weeds, crab grass, Bermuda grass, etc. - which are common in SoMD lawns - costs hundreds of dollars more per year to treat. The rare/periodic participation by the treatment technical supervisor culminates in a report naming the weeds present, does not name which weeds are fully covered by the treatment, and most often responds to requests for assessing and/or correcting the performance of prior treatments by tasking the client with photographing and identifying the deficiencies in weed treatment through an email report. So, you're going to pay MRW for the opportunity for yourself to do the quality checks and reporting back to their service dept. Further, when the helpful customer service staff (she was patient and attentive) states that if/when weeds persist beyond 2-3 weeks after the treatment application date, to call them for a free re-treatment to honor the contract you paid them to execute, MRW denies this offer and tells you they will either "schedule the next treatment early in the window," or decline to refund any percentage of the ineffective treatment. Upon each annual assessment when the treatment manager actually shows up to your house, the inevitable result is $600-$2400 of extra services that are deemed necessary to address weeds in your lawn. These services are: aerate, overseed (and broadcast spread grass seed into your landscaping/flowerbeds indiscriminately), paying premiums to treat >50% of naturally occurring MD weeds, double treatment "to hit the weeds this broadleaf treatment covers extra hard." I know other clients of MRW that have been satisfied, and who received partial/full refunds of single treatments that were unsuccessful. This approach to honoring the contract was not extended to me, unless it was tied to 50% off your NEXT treatment. So, they would only do so if I continued paying them for future ineffective treatments. Finally, after 3-4 years of treatments, fertilizing, etc, I was told that the lawn they had been treating was "off" chemistry. The recommendation? $1200 of chemistry treatment to bring it into a good neutral pH and organic matter. I would not recommend MRW, because there is always another $1000 treatment that would solve the issue, while never satisfying the initial ~$700 annual contract signed to resolve broadleaf weeds.

Just the worse....they called me at 7am to sell me a product...I agreed, I got a call 2 weeks later saying I selected the wrong product (that they recommended). Reps were just jerks! As if I owed them something...
Response from MRW Lawns, Inc.
Our office is not open at 7am. Our representative did not call to sell you anything, but confirm an online order you placed because we do not recommend it in that timeframe. You were very nasty to my office staff, simply because you did not understand what you purchased online. I apologize things turned out the way they did. A little patience and understanding would have certainly helped this situation.
I was given the option to pay for 2 treatments. After the first treatment I saw no greening of the lawn. Supervisor came out and informed me it was due to fluctuating temperatures and being a new lawn. I bought my own bag of fertilizer and put it on the back yard. 2 weeks later it was green again..... I received a call today to make payments for next year. I informed them I was not continuing services. They claim the payment I made for the 2 services I wanted and requested locked me In to a whole year agreement. They are not willing to accept the payment for the two services and require me to pay for and additional 5 services with a company I do not want to have dealings with. Beware of the cheap sales tactics and tricks used to lock you into a contract. I had a agreement with natural green systems previously and never felt like I was dealing with a cheap salesman.
Response from MRW Lawns, Inc.
We're sorry you were dissatisfied with our service. Our applications are always at the mercy of Mother Nature, and our focus is the long-term health of the lawn, not necessarily immediate results. Please call our office to resolve your service agreement questions.
I paid for services and things seemed to be going well, until MRW LAWNS STOLE MONEY from my credit card for ADDITIONAL, OPTIONAL SERVICES that they did not render - services that I declined when they offered it to me. I'm not sure if they completed all regular services. MRW is refusing to give me my money back. When I began with them, I was going to give them a prepaid card so that I could have control of the payments. They told me that they could not use the card and that THEY HAVE TO HAVE A CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD. NOW, I SEE WHY. If major stores, companies, doctors, Amazon, etc. accept this prepaid card from my bank, MRW should too. They want the credit or debit card because they can swipe it as often as they want and know that they will get the money. THAT'S ROBBERY!!! I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THOSE ADDITIONAL CHARGES!! DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. I will take legal action if they don't give me my money back.
Coming up to the end of my first contract with this company. Never, Ever again. Customer Services and their Service in general for us has been the worst. Before I started with this company I had grass. Then the excuses started, too hot for grass to grow, or they would present a whole list of services they can provide for extra cost that will help the grass grow. For those who gave this company 4 or 5 stars, you were lucky, good for you. As for me, Never, Ever again.
Be prepared to pay extras. Basic service doesn't include all weeds that may pop up in your yard and the additional services will cost you more than the basic service costs. Not the service I was expecting.
Wife came home after lawn service completed and let our pets outside. So called "professionals" left our gate open... Not impressed with customer service. If you have pets, better check your gates after they visit your home.
Had them diagnose my yard. Signed a contract with them for a year. Then half way through they said we have crab grass now it’s going to cost us more money if you want them to treat it. This company was not what we expected and would not recommend them to anyone.
