MRW Lawns celebrates 35 years of servicing customers throughout Maryland. We take great pride in who we are and what we do! Our environment matters greatly to us, we are helping our 🌍 one lawn at a time. Whether it is for the quality professional products and technicians, or the honest way we present expectations and meet or exceed them. MRW Lawns, Inc. remains the best choice when you choose to hire a professional lawn care and pest control company.
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.
MRW Lawns is a company that I would recommend to anyone. We first started service with them when bees were tunneling in our back yard years ago. They won our trust and we have been satisfied customers ever since. I rarely give 5 stars to a company but, I am happy to give MRW Lawns this honor because they have lived up to it.
I have used them for 4 years now. They are exceptionally professional, timely, and most importantly provide excellent lawn care. They give detailed information on the applications and tips as well. My lawn looks like a sports field, it is dense, green, and weed free. All I do is cut it and aerate it myself once a year. I do feel they are much better than some of the national firms I have used in the past. Highly recommend.
Been using MRW going on two years and couldn’t be more pleased. The crews are punctual, courteous and hard working. The surrounding neighbors have often complemented about the looks of the yard. Special shout out to Vince who heads one of the crews. Vince goes out of his way to make sure the job by his crew is done up to snuff. Vince’s only drawback is that he a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan!
I previously used TrueGreen , and my yard looked bad , and was full of weeds . MRW has made our yard beautiful, and really gotten rid of our weeds . They take their time , and are very professional. They took the time to call , and make sure I was pleased with the service. I would recommend MRW to everyone !
EDIT : 10-5-21. I'm revising this to reflect the great job and 100% turn around from MRW Lawns. Last year, I was very unsatisfied with them, and felt they had done a poor job helping me with my lawn. After expressing my discontent, they had a new project manager assigned to me, and since then we have seen very improved results. While not perfect, the constant communication and advice, along with their service, has helped my lawn make a 180. Pictures attached are before and after.
Seeing is believing! Jimmy recommended to organically burn my grass and start from scratch. That was either going to be the best decision or the worst. Fast forward, ladies and gentlemen that decision became the best decision I have ever made for my lawn. Trust in Jimmy's analysis and the crew at Mrw lawn. They have themselves a happy customer! Year later and still happy!
Been a client for over 7 years and I must admit , the level of service to my lawn from MRW is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended. They took my lawn from a weed infested disgrace to this plush Augusta National Golf Course.
Love MRW Lawns,! The staff and workmanship is FANTASTIC!! Sincerely, Greg Kapanoske
The have done a great job at my house for years!
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, youre 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.
My lawn is absolutely stunning! People frequently stop and comment on my Lawn Carpet.
We had a good experience with this company. They kept us informed of all plans and schedules for our lawn. The lawn care professionals arrived on time for every scheduled appointment so far. I appreciated that Pablo and his team were very efficient and professional. I would recommend them again.
I was really impressed with this company. They came out quickly to inspect my lawn and scheduled my first treatment right away. That s impressive, sure but I reached out to them this week to ask about pest control for my yard. While they do not perform the service I needed, they took the time to discuss my issue and offered recommendations to help me address it. They were so knowledgeable and helpful, and took the time to help even though they didn t perform the service I needed. That tells me this company truly cares about their customers. I highly recommend MRW!
Jimmy from MRW Lawns is THE best!!! From when we first met him, he has gone out of his way to give us detailed information, and make sure that we get the best lawn possible. We cannot recommend him enough and the service that he coordinates with MRW lawns!
Weve been customers for years and they do a good job. Dependable and good communications.
MRW is a great company and they have a great team. Thanks for made my yard looking good!!
My lawn looks great since I started having MRW treat it. Service is awesome. Prices are reasonable.
They do great work for lawn care/ maintenance
Called for an estimate and was informed they only did landscape not lawn cutting.
Good services
Very professional and experienced
I called and the young lady stated that they did do thr service I was looking for. She sent a list of businesses that did. Would consider them for. my next season lawn needs.
TERRIBLE DISHONEST SALES PEOPLE, BILLING IS ALWAYS JACKED UP, PROVIDERS DO NOT SHOW ON TIME. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY
They did an amazing job working on our home in Charles County. The grass was always thick and a great shade of green.
MRW Lawns have taken expert care of our lawn. They put in a whole new lawn for us, sliced and seeded it twice over the years, and have kept our weeds under control. Any time I ve called with an issue, they responded in a reasonable time frame. I always receive a call before they come out, in order to confirm that the day and time works for us. We recommend MRW Lawns.
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...
They did an amazing job getting my lawn in shape.
Overpriced and did not take care of lawn issues
Outstanding service, always address the issues they observe and recommend changes to the treatment regimen to ensure a healthy lush lawn
I selected MRW Lawns based on the results from a neighbors annual use of their services. His yard is in fantastic condition. My large yard required fertilization and seeding. Patrick and his training tech showed up on time, and explained everything they were going to do. Aeration, fertilization, seeding and cut/slicing. A lot of work. At the end of the day, they got some assistance from another crew and the yard was completed well within day light hours. Yard looks like its ready for some much needed attention. Excited to see the results.
Great work. Professional and quick!
MRW offers good service.
I appreciate the seriousness Mr. Chase took his job. He spoke to me of the need for greater weed control and suggested watering to help the chemicals work. I was encouraged to invest in your company for next years treatment.
One year in receiving service and our lawn is already light-years ahead! These guys know what they are doing, we always know when they are coming for service and theyve always been professional. Highly recommend them for your lawn service needs!
Very professional service. The techs are outstanding and very hard workers. My lawn has greatly improved!
I asked for an estimate. The guy came out and said that I would recieve an email, never got it. I emailed the person that set up the appointment but never heard back from them either.
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. Im 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. THATS ROBBERY!!! I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THOSE ADDITIONAL CHARGES!! DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. I will take legal action if they dont give me my money back.
Great place to walk the dogs!!!
Caylee was very helpful on the phone!
Lawn care. I have been trying to talk to someone concerning my lawn service starting early last week and no one has gotten back to me. However, they can contact me about a sale . I want to terminate my contract with them but I can t get in touch with anybody. Since they don t care about keeping me as a customer. Trugreen is cheaper
Love the service.
Great quality products and some of the best customer service!!!
Our yard has never looked better. We have been in our home for ten years and are finally getting our lawn in shape. We have used mrw form the last year and what a HUGE difference they have made. Between the treatments and seeding it is night and day. Our first meeting was about how they could transform our yard not how other companies were lacking. My interaction over the phone with them, there have been a few, have always been pleasant and proffessional. The tech who services our yard is always polite and does a great job. Highly recommend this company
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.
Be prepared to pay extras. Basic service doesnt 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.
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.
Great company..
This company is great! Rodey showed incredible attention to detail and showed that he truly cared about his customers. Crews are hard working and reliable.
it s funny how we heard about this company, my husband over heard a conversation about this lawn service while buying a car @ the dealer, he ask the lady for the phone number and just in a few days someone was @ my house ready to service the yard, I must say my husband and I are so happy with what we see as of 4 months my neighbors are noticing the difference and so are we!! we are so looking forward to a even better lawn. I wish I could share the pics, but trust they are AWESOME!!!
My lawn looks great, already after only 6 months of MRW treatment. Im really happy coming home to our yard. I love their online portal too, so I can add and pay for additional services based on their recommendations and not have to call or email anyone.
Too busy to take care of their clients, unless you purchase their entire package. For example, I paid $1,000 for a annual package of weed control. They came out several times in the beginning of season and sprayed. But then they stopped showing up so frequently, my weeds and crabgrass came back, and then they didnt show up until September to assess the impact. I expressed regret at spending the money. Specifically because they were not very responsive or timely in between treatments. They literally told me they were prioritizing clients who had purchased the weed AND seeding packages, and that they didnt have enough manpower to come out to all of their customers to assess progress etc, liking it to being Santa Claus visiting all the houses on Christmas. So yeah...if youre looking for a managed package Id look elsewhere. But if you just want someone to come out and indiscriminately dump treatment on your yard every 2 months, then they are fine. I will say they were very nice. I just think they have too many clients and not enough trusted employees to reap what they sow. I even said that to the manager and he replied that they would rather have a couple really good employees with deep technical skillets than hire a bunch of summer help types. I get it, but there has to be something in between. But nice enough people and price was better than Blades of Green.
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.
I cannot rate MRW on their product and services. However, I am rating them on their job approach and communications. MRW is thorough in their approach--meaning that they do not take any short-cuts in making your lawn healthy. They start with a soil test and then move forward from there. This approach earns them 4 stars. The issue I have with them is poor communication. Our rep is Adam and often he cannot be reached. Specifically, when its time to execute MRWs recommendations, he is nowhere to be found or doesnt follow-up from conversations. This year, I have to apply lime and fertilizer to my lawn because he failed to follow-up from our conversation. I dont think you have to chase a company to give them money no matter how good they are. Therefore, they lose two stars for communications.
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.
MRW has been a pleasure to work with. I started with them in 2011 and immediately saw a difference in the quality of my lawn. I used to do it myself, but found that I never could get the result I was looking for. I really think the cost of seed, fertilizer, lime, weed control and my time was probably equal to what I pay MRW and they get much better results and I dont have to do it myself. They let me know prior to each application and always show up when they say they will. It is one less thing that I need to worry about on my list and I am very happy with the service I am receiving. I would recommend them highly if you want to free up your life for more interesting recreation.
So far so good. We had our first application the other day. Its going to take time to see results but Adam was great and was able to address my concerns and provide all the information that I needed as to what to expect and things to do to promote a healthy lawn.
When I called you listened & sent someone out to address my weed concern, very tentative, easy to contact, & didnt have a long wait in between time. Thank You!
We are very satisfied with the installation of the sod in our backyard, we only hope mother nature will continue to help with the watering for the next couple of weeks.
I have a corner lot . All of 2014 my entire yard was WEEDS, MRW Lawns, Inc serviced my yard starting early fall of 2014. Now in 2015, I have the most gorgeous, most beautiful, the greenest grass you have every seen. I am so glad I got a recommendation for MRW Lawns, Inc to service my lawn. Thanks for a job well done. Shirley C
Wonderful service, friendly employees. All good and couldnt be happier. Cheers
I havent had a lot of interaction with MRW but everything has gone smoothly. They are prompt, courteous, and thorough. The guy that came out is very knowledgeable, easy to talk with, and very helpful with suggestions that are above and beyond what is required.
MRW has been taking care of my lawn for years. They are highly professional, knowledgeable, and dependable. Ive been very happy with the results and neighbors often comment on how nice my yard looks.
Very informative walk-thru pointing out possible lawn issues and solutions. This is a very professional company with advance warning prior to treatment and follow thru to give feedback.
This was my first experience with MRW. During the walk thru my yard with the rep, I learned a lot about my lawn, the problems, and the solutions needed to get my lawn healthy again. To date, my lawn has never looked greener and healthier. In fact, I have the best lawn on the street. But, I still have a few patches where the grass has not grown back as fast as I would like. I am hopeful this problem will take care of itself. l will certainly continue the contract for next year, with a few modifications.
The staff is always friendly and professional. MRW Lawns renovated my lawn 11 years ago and they have serviced my lawn beautifully every year since. Not only do I think it looks great, so do my neighbors. They constantly stop their cars just to let me know. I also recommend getting a lawn sprinkler system. MRW Lawns is worth the money and time!
Our MRW Lawns experience was great. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, starting with our Lawn Consultant Wallace, the crew that turned our ugly weeds into a beautiful lawn and the super patient customer service assistant Shannon, who answered all my billing and payment question. Thank you for a job well done :-)
I absolutely think MRW is the best in customer service, application of lawn care products, and evaluation of my lawn. I had another company previous to MRW however, they were no where close to the value I receive from MRW. I also highly recommend MRW to my friends.
Great service at a reasonable price. My lawn stays great looking throughout the year.
When we first started with MRW about 2 yrs ago, our lawn was a mixture of several different grasses and weeds. We worked with MRW to decide what was best for rebuilding our lawn, killing off the old, adding top soil, compost and seeding. What would have taken generally 2-3 yrs to establish, we were showing off our new lawn in just one yr. MRW is amazing, they know what needs to be done, they stay on top of what needs to be done at a reasonable and comparable price. After other well known lawn care chains tried to do what they claim is the best they failed miserably, MRW did and will always be my lawn go to guys. Thank you so much, we are very happy costumers.
Ive used MRW for my lawn for the past 3-4 years. When I moved into my house, my backyard was mostly dirt & rocks, and the rest of my yard was beginning to be infested by weeds. I had sod laid in the backyard and MWRs regular treatments have managed to get my yard under control and now Im the best looking yard on the block. Its hassle free. They leave great comments anytime they come out for an application. In addition, if I find any weeds in between treatments, i can just call them up and they come out to get the weeds back under control.
I have used MRW for the last 7 years, I am very happy. Their service is first rate, sensitive to the enviroment and most importantly works. My lawn benefits and is complimented all the time. Reasonable rates. I cant comment on re-seeding but care of exsting lawn is excellent. Tru Green cannot hold a candle. If you are serious about making your lawn a centerpiece use MRW. That doesnt absolve of you of watering and taking an active role in your lawn but goes a long way to get you there.
This will be our fourth season with MRW Lawns, and were extremely happy with the service. Our lawn looks great. Four years ago we had no lawn, just weeds and bare spots. When we called MRW they scheduled Wallace to pay a visit. He walked us around the property and pointed out the types of weeds we had to deal with and the types of grasses that we should work with. He developed a plan and indicated we would see a big difference in two seasons. Well, as bad as our lawn was, just one season made a huge difference. But he was right, the improvement after two seasons was dramatic. Moving into our fourth season we have one of the nicest lawns in the community. Weve been really pleased with MRW Lawns and we definitely recommend their service.
i have been with MRW for 6 years. i had tried most of the others. they have been incredible. bobby makes sure my lawn looks like a golf course. i couldnt be happier with the service i receive.
I have used MRW for over 5 years and have found them to be honest and profssional. They have done a great job maintaining the health of my lawn.
For several years I watched my neighbors lawn grow thicker and richer under the services of MRW. We became an MRW customer over a year ago and have been very satisfied. The company is reliable and consistent. Their prices are reasonable and their staff is professional. My lawn continues to improve with their care.
I have been with MRW Lawns almost 25 years! I will not even consider any other lawn service! They have provided me with EXCELLENT service at my current residence here in Charles County as well as my previous home in Calvert County. Their customer service has been so helpful, even to the point that their honesty concerning which services I needed has saved me many dollars over the years! Thank you, MRW, for being a credible company that can be trusted!
After trying the big name lawn service for a year, I switched to MRW 4 years ago and am extremely pleased. Their technicians do a thorough, careful job each time they visit. Our lawn looks great and Im proud to say the neighbors are envious. In fact, two neighbors have recently switched to MRW in hopes of getting the same results that Im getting.
Excellent service, products that work, and reasonable rates. I have used other lawn care services and none compare to the quality and results of MRW. Thank you!
The quality of my lawn and grass is very good and my neighbors compliment me frequently. I alwys get a courtesy call prior to service ad the company is flexible enough to alter an appointment if something is going on that day. The customer service and lawn experience is fantastic.
We have used MRW for several years and love their service. Well trained professional technicians and great results. A+
My lawn is beautiful! MRW has been caring for it for over six years now, and I could not ask for a more responsive or concerned service provider. The employees, the ones who provide the services as well as the office staff are congenial and pleasant always!. When I had a very quick fungus attack, the team was out within 24 hours, diagnosed it, and provided the correct treatment, saving my beautiful lawn from what could have been a complete tragedy. From that point on we added fungal treatment annually and since then have had no unpleasant surprises. They check the lawn over when they come for treatments to be sure there isnt anything else brewing and let me know immediately of any needs. There is nothing better than looking off my deck and down at my lush, thick, healthy, Kelley Green lawn, and all I do is cut it at the height they recommend! Am I satisfied - just wish every business I did business with had the customer service and employee responsiveness of MRW Lawns.
Excellent!!! Ive been a client for at least a doxen years now. I consistently have one of the lushest, weed-free lawns in the neighborhood. I have been stopped numerous times while mowing to answer the question how do you get such a beautiful lawn? MRW has always delivered a high quality product and service. My recommendations have resulted in several new MRW clients. One look at my lawn and the results speak for themselves.
The people at MRW have delivered on everything they promised. They even altered their schedule due to weather to ensure their product would perform correctly. It is also nice to receive a phone call prior to their arrival. They even let you know what you can do to prep the yard for better results. Weve been very happy with the service. Its nice to see a local company take pride in their work.
Phenomenal! I have been a customer for 19 years and have never regretted a single moment! Whether its reseeding or general maintenance, Ive never experienced a problem. The staff is knowledgeable and polite ... always willing to answer questions regardless of how basic the topic. I highly recommend MRW Lawns!
