Landscaping company providing lawn care services to all of Rhode Island including lawn mowing, gardening, lawn renovations, fertilizing, spring & fall cleanups, tick & mosquito control, firewood delivery and small engine repair. Reliable, quality work. Professional, experienced employees.
Chris and Kevin did a fall cleanup today in Exeter. And they did an excellent job. The leaves in my yard are very deep and it looks like it was cleaned with a broom. The yard is immaculate and I hope to get them again. They are pleasant company and hard workers. I highly recommend and would ask for them by name . Thank you and happy holidays Bob
Steve and his team were truly professional from the moment I contacted RILawns. They promptly came out to remove all the fall leaves from my property and left everything looking absolutely amazing. Their attention to detail and dedication to quality work exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend their services and will definitely be using them again in the future! Jim
Nick Jordan, and Joshua came out today from RI lawns to do our fall cleanup. We had some very specific constructions about how we wanted garden beds left and what plants we wanted trimmed and what we didn’t. This crew followed our instructions to T and the yard came out beautifully! Thank you very much, Nick Jordan, and Joshua!
855-RILAWNS is an amazing landscaping company. The team, Nick, Josh, and Jordan did an exceptional job. They completely went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction was met. I had an abundant of leaves on my property. These guys showed up and got the job done with no issues. They saved me so much time and headache. The prices are very reasonable for the work they accomplished. They even made sure I walked with them afterwards making sure everything looked good. I was very impressed. Looking forward for 855-RILAWNS to come back. Thank you.
I had ri lawns treat my yard for mosquitoes and ticks with organic products. It worked great no tick bites nor mosquito bites. Chris and Kevin were great. I am very happy with this service and will use next year.
We are approaching 15 years of being a customer. We are continuously pleased with level of service and response. The team handles lawn care and gardening and shrub maintenance. They have handled special projects and resolved any concerns expeditiously. Very professional.
Chris at RI Lawns is exceptional in his field. His knowledge and expertise in lawn care are evident, and he goes above and beyond to ensure his clients are well-informed. Not only is he personable, making every interaction enjoyable, but he is also a fantastic communicator who explains everything clearly and is always available to answer questions. His commitment to quality service truly sets him apart. We highly recommend Chris and RI Lawns!
Steve and the team at RI Lawn did a phenomenal job of rejuvenating all of my garden beds which have needed love for the past five years. The communication and responsiveness of the team, the level of work and the final results were all well above my expectations. The value of the offer was also something that made this worth it. I’m sorry I haven’t done this sooner as the property looks 100 times better Update 2024: Still using this service and they are doing great. Recently had an issue with sun scorching and crabgrass. While inspecting my lawn, Chris noticed it would benefit from some extra aeration and raking on top of what was already done. Chris didn’t hesitate to hop in and get it done right then. Thank you!
Kevin and Chris do good work.
Excellent service. We are well pleased with they way they cleaned our yard!
Great job by Chris and Kevin with the lawn cleanup on my property. Nothing like waking up the next day and seeing a nice clean yard out the window.
Kevin and Chris did such a great job removing the leaves at our home. They were super nice guys and removed everything in no time! Our backyard, walkway, and driveway look amazing.
best fall clean up ever! thx oswaldo, jareth & nacho - you guys deserve a shout out
Neki, Jordan & Joshua came out to do my fall/leaf cleanup and did a fantastic job. They cleared all my leaves and trimmed back several of my shrubs. My yard looks great! Thanks again to Steve and his crew!
Chris and Kevin just finished a fall cleanup at my house. They did a wonderful job and Im very happy with the outcome. There was a pretty huge volume of leaves to take care of, but they did great work. Very courteous and answered a few questions. Would definitely recommend to others.
Aiden gave me five star service. He really seemed to go out of his way to save me money when fixing my lawnmower. It would have cost me too much money in parts to fix my lawnmower, so it wouldn t have been worth it and he explained that to me thoroughly and gave me good suggestions on what I should do. I just felt that he was really honest and helpful
Great work by Randy, Jake and Tony on our Fall clean up. They were able to get all the leaves and leftover pine needles off the lawn and out of our bushes. It looks so much nicer. Thanks again, guys!
Had Chris and Kevin come out for my fall clean-up today, and they did an awesome job. Property looks fantastic.
kevin and chris did a fantastic job. as the sun went down, they were tidying our beds until last light. the following sunday (thanksgiving weekend) oswaldo & jafeth diligently tackled the remaining work to be done. we do our own yardwork throughout the year, so to indulge in a fall cleanup was well worth the investment. the edging ( a task i am terrible at), was impeccable.
Randy, Jake & Steve did an amazing job setting up our fall clean up & the completing it with a very short turn around. They also did our gutters. We couldnt be more pleased. Thanks for taking the stress of yard work off our plate this year! We will definitely use them again.
UPDATE: After having such a great experience with RILAWNS for a one time service (see below) I decided to sign up for their weekly lawn services. It has been a phenomenal experience, and I am so impressed by every member of their team thats been out to the property. I want to give special credit to the three technicians (Nacho, Oswaldo, and Jafeth) that came out today to do my fall clean up. They did an amazing job of cleaning up all the leaves and sticks that were in the yard, and I appreciate how respectful they were in the back yard working around all my garden boxes and furniture. Original Review: I needed to get my lawn mowed and cleaned up ahead of our annual memorial day party. The issue was my lawn mower was broken, and I didnt think I would have time to get it fixed before the party. I contacted Steve at RI Lawns and he was a huge help. We were able to schedule a one time mow service ahead of memorial day, and he arranged for my mower to be picked up and fixed. He was super communicative through the process and easy to work with. The team that came out did a phenomenal job. They got my yard looking better than I ever could, in way less time. I cant say enough good things about how they did. When it came to the mower repair, Aidan was awesome. He communicated clearly with me during the whole process, got it fixed in a very reasonable amount of time, and it runs great now. If I ever need more small engine repair, I would absolutely trust him again.
Randy and Jake did our fall cleanup and it looks amazing! Couldn t be happier with RI Lawns. Thank you!
Randy, Jake, Anthony and Steve at RI Lawns came out to complete my end year cleanup and did a great job!! Awesome teams!
Chris and Kevin were at our house yesterday and did our Fall cleanup. What a wonderful job they did! My husband and I used to do this job ourselves, so we know what it takes. It was so satisfying to watch their coordinated effect from the comfort and warmth of our home! Thank you, again!
RI Lawns did a great job picking up all our leaves! Prompt service and very reasonably priced. Thank you to Steve, Oswaldo, Nacho and Jafeth- we will be calling you again next year!
Wed like to shout out to Randy, Jake, and Tony - Great job completing our Fall Cleanup! They came over during the horrific rain on a weekday to start their work, then came back this weekend to finish. Very happy with the results! This is our 2nd year with the Company. Our yard looks excellent. They topped off our hydrangeas and tall grasses, cleaned out all gardens (a lot!) and all leaves. Then mowed the lawn. Everything looks great! Thank you!
Chris and Kevin provided efficient and thorough fall clean-up. Their communication was great when the project was going to take more time than anticipated. I look forward to working with Chris, Kevin and RI Lawns again.
I am very pleased with the job done by Nick, Jordan and Joshua. Well done!!
Fantastic job on our winter lawn cleanup. Nacho, Jafeth and Oswaldo were prompt and efficient.
Kevin and Chris did an awesome job clearing the yard ready for the holidays
Fantastic end of season cleanup today by NACHO, OSWALDO & JAFETH!! Left property in pristine condition - NO NONSENSE CREW!!
Thank you Randy, Jake and Tony Great work today Very Grateful Thank you Jay and Steve for coordinating this for me. Thank you Happy Holidays .
Chris and Kevin came to clean my gutters and did an excellent job. They let me know when they arrived. They asked if there was anything they should know about and asked if I had any questions or concerns. I let them know of one area where the gutter was overflowing and they set off. A couple of hours later they had worked their way around the house and my gutters were clean. They let me know they were done. And the area of concern, well there was a pretty good clog that they were able to take care of for me. Ive used RILAWNS for Spring Cleanup, Fertilizer Applications, Firewood, Gutter Cleaning, and Aeration & Overseeding. Ive been happy with their friendly service, prompt communication, and reasonable prices.
Chris and Kevin have done a good job this year on my lawn. I have been satisfied with the service of this company for this first year! Thank you!
Steve and RILAWNS did a great job on my fall cleanup. Every part of the process was seamless and easy- from receiving an estimate, to scheduling, to completion. Highly recommend.
Very happy with my fall clean up today. Nick, Jordan and Joshua did a great job. Also, very attentive to details.
Neki, Jordan, and Joshua did an amazing job. We couldn t be happier!
Steve was extremely responsive to my initial inquiry..even calling me back on a Sunday to schedule my services! Excellent communication via text on job progress as well! I would recommend RI lawns 100% and ask for Steve!
Kevin is a true asset to the RI lawn team. He is diligent and caring to perform his job to the optimum. I loved how he trimmed the bushes , really professional. Thanks Kevin !!!
Again this year Efrain and Jafeth spent many hours trimming our hedges back. They look fantastic. They always look great when the 855-RILawn people are finished. The grass, flowerbeds and other shrubs look happy too. Thanks to all the crew. Thank you Steve and all the crew.
UPDATE (OCT. 2024): After a number of years of doing our own lawn care, weve gone back to 855-RILAWNS (formerly A Cut Above) for a variety of services: fertilization, weed and moss control, aeration and overseeding, trimming bushes, and fall cleanup. Overall, weve been very happy with the work and with the staff. Chris, who does most of the work on our property, is friendly and professional. Hell go the extra mile -- after one seeding job, he blew leaves off our driveway without being asked, just to be helpful. Steve Martino, the operations manager, has been very responsive, professional, and accommodating of our various needs. He has personally come by on a weekend to make sure everything was in good shape. One good measure of a company is how they stand by their work and respond to problems. When some spilled fertilizer burned parts of our lawn, Chris and Steve both came by promptly to reseed the damaged spots, which now look great. In our experience, this is an honest, reliable, and reasonably priced company that we recommend. ORIGINAL POST 2012: Weve had very good experiences with A Cut Above Lawn Care, whom weve hired several times for fall clean up and, most recently, to re-seed our lawn. They are reliable, professional and friendly. Prices are reasonable. The company is small enough that there is still a personal touch: the owner Justin has personally come out several times not only to provide estimates for service but to offer advice on lawn and plant care; Stephen, the office manager, is always friendly and returns calls promptly; Omar provided excellent follow-up when our lawn was re-seeded (and the results look great). The staff is very knowledgeable (Omar, for instance, has a degree in microbiology) and we appreciate their commitment to environmental sustainability and biodiversity. Wed gladly recommend A Cut Above to our friends.
On behalf of Helen Reilly, of 40 Dunes Rd. We give Steve the highest rating. His team USA, quiet, polite and very efficient! We look forward to next Spring! Helen
Chris is the BEST ! So very thorough and professional ! Our yard and home was clear of mosquitos and ticks all season ! No worries with visits to the house with the grandkids !! Thank you for a great and safe season !!
great lawn service! kevin and chris are awesome as well as the rest of the crew!!
Steve has been fantastic - started with mowing services and it went well so added in some soil analysis with lawn rejuvenation and then mulching and most recently some hardscaping with the creation of a new garden bed with stepping stones. Consistently fast service with excellent communication by phone and text, plus reasonable pricing - so glad I found 855-RILAWNS! Update 11-2024 - continuing to use 855-RILAWNS for lawn care and rejuvenation and mulching and recently added in some gardening services with Kevin - saves me many hours as he keeps things looking tip-top. They were also able to trim some overhanging trees Id been wondering how I would address. I continue to be a very happy client of 855-RILAWNS.
Absolutely the best company! I had a fall clean up today, and the yard looks amazing and Randy and his crew were professional as always. I highly recommend going with RI Lawns!!!!
Needed rubbish/yard waste removal. Steve was great setting this up and the workers did a great job!! Look forward to having them treat my lawn in Spring!
I used RILawns for a wood delivery. Steve provided a proposal right away and was great to work with through the process. Oswaldo and Jafeth were very kind and efficient on the day of delivery. They also made sure my driveway was cleared of debris before they left. Highly recommend and will certainly be using them in the future.
Many thanks to Kevin and Chris for their hard work in clearing leaves and debris from my outdoor yard space. I look forward to improving my lawn quality with their continued help with ongoing fertilization and mowing in the 2025 growing season.
Today Chris and Jake from Roland came to my house to repair my grub damaged lawn. They were very pleasant and easy to talk to about what they would be doing. They aerated my lawn and seeded. They were thorough and worked very well together. Now I have to do my part and water daily which is no problem because all my sprinklers are on timers and set to go off daily. It was a pleasure meeting both Chris and Jake. Time will tell if their hard work pays off Thank you for your service. Ron Guarnieri
A huge THANK YOU to Chris and Jake . They did an awesome job aerating and overseeding yesterday at my property and made additional recommendations to help me achieve desired results without overselling me anything. Steve and his RI Lawn crew are great partners in my quest for a beautiful lawn!
Update 9/30/24 I ve been using 855 RILawns for my landscaping maintenance and mosquito/ tick treatment this season they ve been punctual and showed up as promissed the lawn crew has done great work and Chris whos does the mosquito application has been great checkin after he completes the work and advising what service he just performed. 855RILawns does outstanding work I just had them install new plant beds and overseed my grass. From my first interaction with Steve their sales manager he made the process seemless he knew exactly what was needed was efficient in the estimate process and scheduling of my project. The estimate was more than fair price wise and the work was excellent. I will continue to use 855RILawns for my future lawn care needs.
A shout out to both Steve and Chris These guys are major players! I assigned them two projects, one involved some land clearing and brush removal and the other was resetting a major area where stumps had been removed. All projects completed on time with excellent results at a fair price! I wouldn t hesitate to utilize them for the next project.
Chris, did aeration and seeding on our newly purchased home. I really appreciated the professionalism and organization of the project. The lawn was in rough shape when we purchased it but is looking awesome now! Thanks Chris
I called the company as my lawn appeared to be dying and found that I had grubs which I thought my other company was treating for. Chris came over within days, we aerated, overseeded and put down grub control. He walked me through everything, and cleaned up after. Nice job, hopefully the lawns will grow back.
I recently had my lawn treated for grubs, crabgrass, fertilizer and aeration. RI Lawn came out in 2 days from the original call. The technician-Chris was very pleasant, explained to me what the scope of work included on the day of service. Chris took the time to address my questions, concerns. He was very professional and knowledgeable. All the work was completed on the same day. Chris followed up several times to see if I had any other questions. I am very pleased with this experience. I recommend Chris is your guy when it comes to point of contact on the day of treatment and service on your lawn.
Im super happy with the service from Steve and the team. Chris was great in a recent visit to identify some problems with the lawn and quickly and professionally treated. My yard has never looked better, and I know it will be in great shape for the spring.
We worked with Aiden for a lawnmower tuneup and had a very positive experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, and professional!
I contacted 855-RILawns after seeing their sign advertising lawn seeding.Steve was very helpful with explaining the packages. We signed up for one of them. I was surprised and pleased with how quickly they scheduled us. The two gentleman who came to do the yard cleanup did a fabulous job. Yard hasn t looked this good in years. The men who mow always explain what they are doing and if we have any questions (if we are out in the yard when they arrive) I would highly recommend Steve and RILawns.
Great job by RI Lawns in the aeration and overseeding of my lawn. Steve Martino was very helpful in listening to my needs and answering my questions. Chris and Kevin were very courteous and professional during the aeration and overseeding process. I definitely recommend RI Lawns for your lawncare needs!
First time! Very happy with results and service . Niki and Jordan did a great job and were very good to deal with.
Steve martino is very professional and great to work with
Kevin did a great job trimming and shaping our shrubs! He cleaned up so well after as well! 10/10 would recommend!
Chris treats my lawn and he is so personable. He is a worker and always asks if there is anything further I need
Have used 855-RILAWNS for years. Very pleased. Staff always courteous and helpful. Easy to communicate with the team to get things done and they always keep us informed. Keep up the good work you guys. And to Will and Alex thank you for the help at our place the other day!
Great job done by all from Steve Martino s estimate and discussion of work to be done, the folks manning the office, and especially the guys who did the yard work. It was a large job that was expected to take a full day, which it did. The two fellows who did the work labored diligently all day and did a wonderful job clearing the overgrown edges of our yard and trimming back branches and overzealous vines. Definitely recommend and will hire them again.
RI Lawns has been fantastic to work with. We did a lawn restoration project in the beginning of the year and Steve was very attentive and helpful in figuring out just what I needed. I also signed up for the lawn fertilization, weed treatments, and aeration/overseeding. Its only been a few months but I (and many neighbors) notice a huge difference. Chris and Jafeth were very helpful in getting rid of the crabgrass and helping me with doing a clover lawn in my front yard. All people involved seemed to want to really take care of me and my yard and their quick responses and eagerness to help makes me feel like Im their only customer! Thank you guys!
Steve was great in keeping me informed, Efrain and his team came out and did a great job on my loom and hole repair! Can t wait to see the final product!
We are new customers this year for organic-based fertilizer program. Chris has been outstanding - knows what he s doing and takes time to do a quality job and answer questions. Today we had extra service (aeration and overseeding) in addition to fall fertilizing best job we ve had yet. Thank you!
Steve and his crew are amazing!! Take care of all my lawn care needs, they are efficient and respond in a timely manner. Highly recommend them.
Had Chris come to Jamestown yesterday for a lawn aeration, he did a very good job was very informative. Help me with all my questions and didn t mind me asking questions. He s a very conscientious young man and will always ask for him when I call Rhode Island. lawns John
Just got my yearly aeration/seeding done by Chris. He was great and made sure to go over the post seeding care and answer any questions I had, even recommended some DIY ways to get rid of that pesky crabgrass.
Steve was responsive to texts. Efrain and Jafetto were great on the job. They problem solved well and got the job done quickly and smoothly.
Will and Alex got here this morning and in the short time they were here, they did a great job of cleaning out the weeds and debris.
Absolutely great experience! Steve was incredibly helpful in setting up the appointment and choosing the best services, even while he was on vacation! I would show before and after photos, but I m too embarrassed at how horrible I let my yard get. However, Efrain and his team made it beautiful once again! Great service and great price!
I contacted RI Lawn for a yard clean up. Steve Martino gave me a great price for the service. They did the job within a few days of contacting them. I will definitely use them again!
Trevor and Will stopped by today to do some gardening, (an extra feature of our RI Lawns service.) They worked in the area I suggested, and did a thorough job on the weeding, and my garden looks really great this year! Thanks guys!
I highly recommend this business. Not only for their outstanding services and dedicated employees but also as an applicant who experienced a really pleasant interview process. Steve Martino made me feel very welcome and frankly, I outright enjoyed the process. The professionalism and friendliness of the staff made an impression, and I was very pleased with the positive and hard working atmosphere they have.
My husband and I just want to tell you how impressed we are with the gentlemen we have met from RILAWNS. Steve Martino came to our home to discuss some of our concerns about the lawn and gardens and to offer solutions. We really need help with maintaining our gardens. He listened carefully and offered some helpful solutions. Today another of your employees came over ready for work. His name was Will and he is a student at URI in the Landscape Architecture program. He was polite, knowledgeable about the plants and trees, and very willing to begin the job of cleaning up the gardens. We are so grateful for the folks you have working for this company and want to say thank you to the men who mow the lawn faithfully every Monday. Sincerely, Don and Judy Zeyl
So far so good! Steve was very responsive and reached out to discuss what I needed for my lawn. My lawn has been a struggle to deal with and I decided that I am not going to spend hours of the summer pulling weeds or buying different products that aren t really effective. Steve answered all of my questions and devised a plan to get my lawn looking great again. Can t wait to see how it turns out!
I am a new customer of 855-RILAWNS, and so far it has been a very positive experience. The communication has been excellent and the interaction is very professional. I am looking forward to a long term relationship!
The work was done in a timely manner, with attention to detail. Steve was great with communication and setting up the project.
Will and his coworker were fast, thorough, and friendly! In short, everything you want from a lawn service. Give that guy a raise.
We are currently using RILAWNS on a weekly basis. We are VERY HAPPY with the high level of professionalism and service - with attention to detail with every visit. Will does an excellent job of communicating with us and his crew!! They are KEEPERS!!
Im very happy with the service provided to date and am extremely impressed with Matthew who is a true professional in that he is very knowledgeable, keeps me informed of the work he has performed and makes very useful recommendations for my consideration. He is also very diligent in completing any requests I make. Because of his great work, my yard is looking much improved.
Best lawn and landscape company in RI!
Had a great experience from start to finish, the guys who came out were very nice and did great work with both our spring cleanup and mulching of our beds. Steve was a great point of contact all the way through, answering questions and keeping us updated on scheduling and accommodating a couple last minute changes!
We just signed up with RILAWNs and our experience thus far has been fantastic. Very smooth and professional onboarding process, which was focused more on meeting our needs than pushing the most expensive packages. RILAWNs keeps me updated on service schedule via text, which is very helpful. Steve has been very communicative during our first couple weeks with RILAWNs.
Absolutely the worst! Avoid at all costs. Mowed down established perennial gardens even though company was advised the plants were marked by fluorescent pink flags. Company rep stated they marked the account. Flags were mowed down with the plants. So much money lost on our perennials that took so long to establish. Steve, manager, is absolutely the rudest human being. Referred family to these people and they are canceling their services and switching to another provider. TOTAL NIGHTMARE. Also missed several scheduled mows-no call/no show and became very rude when asked about this issue as well. Poorly run, managed and operated. Hire at your own risk!
I highly recommend RILAWNS to anyone who wants the job done right, in a timely manner, and at a reasonable price. Steve returned my call immediately and gave me a very reasonable estimate. His crew came out two weeks later (Probably would have been earlier if not for the bad weather), and did an amazing job. They were all kind, and hard working. My yard looks great thanks to Steve and his crew. I will definitely be in touch with him for future work. Thank you so much Steve!
Great company to work with in addition to an exceptional attention to detail with their vendors for the benefit of their clients. The company prides itself on maintaining open communication and providing a first-class experience from the initial interaction to the ongoing relationship with their clients. I would highly recommend 855 to my friends and family!
Great experience. Steve was quick and efficient and the team was very professional and my yard looks great. Tom B.
We just started working with RILAWNS and have had a great experience! Steve returned my phone call very quickly and was able to get us set up with the plan that best fits our needs! He has been extremely helpful throughout the entire process and is always available to answer questions. The crew came out quickly and did an amazing job! We are so happy and would recommend them to anyone!
These guys are awesome!
Lawn looks great already...very attentive to detail, yard is clean. Steve is very responsive to requests and questions
Steve Was great with info on lawn care , I am setting up an appointment for lawn care
Weve used 855-RILAWNS for many years. Their spring cleanup is fantastic. It is marvelous to watch them swarm over the yard and make it beautiful in a fraction of the time it would take us. My back appreciates it. Matthew is easy to chat with, and gives lots of good advice. You can t beat their experience. If you are in the area they serve , I definitely recommend them.
Wet friendly and knowledgeable. Steve was very pleasant and patient with me on the phone. I explained the few places that were problematic. It was very windy but managed to not let the leaves visit the neighbors yards. Sorry i am not proficient with the camera on the phone. I am technically challenged. Will be happy to see them return.
Buyer beware. I ve had 2 services performed by Steve s team at RILawns and was charged significantly higher than the proposed price. This was after having Steve come out to survey my property and provide an estimate. The fine print in the proposal essentially says if we need extra men you will be billed per man/per hour. I had lawn cutting done last week that was proposed at $63, and was charged $136. They claim the grass was over 6 . It wasn t, except for one area on the side of the garage that they avoided. In the fall I was charged hundreds more than the estimate because they sent more guys for a minor cleanup (we have no trees on our property). The excuse from the office manager was it s in your proposal. A business can t be trusted that will bill well beyond an estimate each time. It s anyone s guess what arbitrary charges will hit my credit card each time they come. Check the negative reviews before working with this company as their billing practice have impacted multiple consumers.
Vincent and Matthew did an incredible job on our lawn in North Kingstown! We are new customers and found them to be very professional and we are extremely satisfied with the result! So happy we found this company!!!
I had a GREAT experience with RI Lawns. From start to finish. Steve was very accommodating when I couldn t figure out how to make a phone appointment and I really appreciated that because my phone skills are very basic. He texted me throughout each step to set up the work. When I came home from work that day my yard looked GREAT!! I will definitely be using RI Lawns again for my Spring clean up. Thank you!
Steve from RILawns was terrific! He helped me arrange their services quickly and they were quite efficient and accomplished their tasks with no disruptions to our day. I highly recommend them!
RI Lawns did a great spring cleanup job. They were able to pick up all the pine needles and pine cones off my lawn. They took away several piles of broken branches. They cleaned up all my flower gardens including my vegetable garden in my backyard. They cleaned up all the leaves off my deck and walkways. They work fast and provided a professional service.
RILAWNS quickly lost our business when their incompetence ruined a set of mature ornamentals that lined our driveway (citing a Google search for the expertise to do it, which was Steve). Then, in a striking absence of internal communication, their team contradicted themselves about payment arrangements and became rude (Steve, again). Many other lawn care companies out there clearly communicate with clients and work with their priorities and schedules, so choose one of them. UPDATE: We have yet to receive a formal invoice for payment through the mail. However, we do receive regular harassing voicemails from Steve. Suppose the company wants to act professionally and deal with this transaction and not spend its time creating a fictional narrative for public consumption to mask incompetence. In that case, we can easily cover the bill. We will not, however, respond to voicemail and text threats and harassment.
I had a very good experience. Steve was helpful in answering my questions and helping me get my service scheduled. They did an excellent job with my yard cleanup!
Every spring we have a lot of tree debris down in our yard and these guys do a transformative job of cleaning it up! They pay attention to detail, yet work swiftly. Great job!
Steve was incredibly professional and prompt in coming out to get a fair estimate and then scheduling our brush clearing project. Randy and his team made quick work of the briars and dead trees, and in a matter of hours the previously overgrown mess looked meticulous! We are so impressed and happy with the outcome. We will definitely be using them again for future landscaping projects. Highly recommend!
Timely and well done.
We had an unexpected event coming up and our yard was looking rough. With such short notice during the peak of spring cleaning season we had little hope of being able to find someone to return our call let alone get the job done in time. To our surprise Steve from RI lawns called us back within a few hours of receiving our request. Steve had me send him some pictures of the area to better estimate the amount of mulch needed since I was unsure and was overestimating. Within the same call he also provided some recommendations on what to plant to make a few of our beds look more complete. After receiving my estimate Steve was super patient in answering some of my questions and even altering a few things. Best of all, steve had originally told me they were fully booked a couple of weeks but would try to squeeze us in before my event. Sure enough a few days before the big day RILawns showed up and put in some work! It s not a small yard by any means but they were able to finish everything I asked for and then some. They even cleaned up some areas that weren t necessarily part of the deal. They checked every single one of my boxes. I received so many compliments about my yard that day I really had no choice but to write this review. Trust me, if you want it done right, you don t want to go with anyone else other than RILawns!
When I moved to RI, finding a trustworthy service that didn t break the bank was imperative. RILAWNS has always done well to communicate, even going as far for regular check-in calls to make sure I m happy with service. I would highly recommend!
We are thrilled with how our property turned out! Steve Martino is the best. From initial contact to site inspection to plan design and consultation to scheduling and completing our project. Steve was responsive and provided a high level of customer service throughout the entire process. And to the crew who we didn t meet - you did an amazing job! Thank you.
The crew came on time and installed sod in our yard, with the utmost attention to detail. I have already recommended RI Lawns to friends and family!!
I am a new customer. I requested a quote and got a reply the same afternoon. Steve was very helpful and got me a quote the next day. I had my first mow less than a week later and the guys did a great job. Steve also gave me a quote for a larger project that I ve been having trouble finding someone to take care of for me. 855-RILAWNS has fair prices similar to other quotes I ve gotten and great customer service.
This company is the best. Steve, my initial contact, is professional, polite and knowledgeable. The service quote he delivered was very reasonable. My yard has never looked better. I highly recommend 855-RILAWNS.
Steve was fantastic and easy to work with and the crew did a great job in record time; so appreciative they were able to accommodate my needs in a short window of time and were flexible with the schedule.
RILAWNS responds quickly to my inquiries. I have my yard mowed every two weeks. The workers are very professional and quick. Will definitely call on them for other jobs. I highly recommend them!
very reliable and professional service. They are always asking if the job was done in a satisfied manner. I have been very happy with the lawn service . I have also recommended this company to co workers who have had issues in getting their lawn to look good.
Outstanding job! Came on time...great cut and left the place looking very neat overall...no grass clippings on the driveway.
855-RILAWNS,LLC did my lawn for the first time this week while I was out. I couldn t believe how great my lawn looked when I returned home. Very satisfied with their work.
They have done a great job. Steve was especially helpful in getting us the service we needed and was very quick to help maintain our yard. (Edit): Its been about 4 weeks and the mosquitoes are gone, havent had ticks and we are very happy. I have tried taking care of the yard myself with different products from Home Depot but nothing comes close to the way it is now. We have few areas with stagnant water for birds and by now it would be filled with Mosquito larvae. There is nothing. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy our yard again.
This company is a great company because of how they respond to feedback and minor changes in plans. I would give them a chance if I were you. I m considering having them to a whole backyard renovation next summer.
The work completed was generally acceptable, but I am disappointed by the estimate accuracy, scheduling, billing, and clean up. I would not recommend working with RI Lawns on a general labor contract until they update their practices in regards to labor charges. Estimate accuracy and contract details I read another review on Google that made me a bit hesitant to go forward with the project and I should have trusted by gut. They include text in their hourly contracts that says the people-hours / man-hours to complete the project is only an estimate and the actual amount charged is subject to change based on how fast they get the job done. This is very atypical of landscaping work (and contractors in general) and creates no incentive to get the job done efficiently. Before signing the contract, I talked to Steve about my concern and he said I am confident we can get this job done [in the estimated number of hours]. I expect the team was working a bit slower than usual since it was a hot day; however, no unexpected issues came up. When time was up on the originally allotted people-hours, only about 2/3rds of the job was finished. I talked to Steve and he agreed to split the cost of the additional labor. This practice feels very unfair to customers (almost like a bait and switch) as you re essentially just signing up to pay for an undefined number of labor hours at a very high hourly rate when you have no control over how fast and efficiently they will work. The work could have been finished in the allotted time or it could have even been completed faster if they worked very quickly, but instead a poor estimate and/or slow work meant I had to pay more to complete the job. The company needs to move towards firm quotes instead of soft estimates. Have confidence in your knowledge of the time required to complete a job and bite the bullet when you underestimate the job instead of sticking customers with higher than expected bills (especially when no unexpected issues come up). Scheduling On 6/23, 6/30, and 7/5 it was confirmed that the work would be completed on 7/6 with work starting in the morning. I cleared my schedule and woke up early for the crew s arrival. Early afternoon and no one had shown up. I reached out for an update and was told that my project was actually pushed to 7/7 due to the July 4th holiday. It s a bit mystifying that a federal holiday sneaks up and impacts scheduling, especially when the contract says We come as Scheduled. Period. Billing After the back and forth with the additional charges, I was carefully monitoring my email for a final bill (for payment of the second half of the work). Before receiving an invoice, I noticed my credit card (which I was required to put on file) had been charged. My credit card should not have been charged without receiving a final bill. Clean Up After the crew was done, I noticed quite a bit of small stones in my yard (the job was creating a stone patio). I did not ask the crew to pick up the stones as I would have continued to be charged by the hour. I spent several hours picking the stones up to avoid the risk of my lawn mower throwing one across the yard. I know the crew would have picked up the loose stones if I asked, but I would have continued to be charged overages.
Stephen Martino and his crew are incredible. Timely and great work!! Will definitely be referring my friends and family.
Knowledgeable about lawns, gardens, and the health and maintenance of all your outdoor plants, trees, and shrubs. They go above and beyond. They are highly responsive, prompt, professional, and pleasant. They can also come check the health of your plants and provide proper guidance and remedy to correct or prevent diseases to your plants.
Great work. Ill never use another company again. Thanks!!
After many phone calls, no shows and excuses, I decided to call 855-Lawns about lawn service. Moments after I had left a voice mail, with my info, I received a phone call from Steve and set up an appointment for an estimate the following morning at 9:00am. Not only was he on time to meet me, but his knowledge of lawn maintenance and keeping my side of the fence greener has paid off. Weve had Steve and his crew tackle our lawn problems and bring us back to a nice lush grass. Thanks for the watering tips and for keeping our yard top notch.
RI Lawns does a great job and are timely and consistent. Pricing is reasonable and they are available to do almost any extra project you need them to do. Glad I found them. I am very happy with their work.
Steve is the one which Ive dealt with this company. They did a wonderful job on my lawn. Good company.
This is our 4th project with Steve Martino and the crew at RI lawns. Once again we are overwhelmed with the amazing work they have done. I can t say enough about how pleased we are with everything!! Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Due to increasing allergy problems, yard work became a seriously unpleasant chore, taking hours and usually meaning at least a day or two with extra itching, sneezing, and watery eyes. We saw a little ad on a post at the bottom of our street, and decided to check them out. We are so glad we did. These folks are great! Everyone is local and friendly, and are truly happy to have our business. We even had some improvements done to the yard; with help from Chris, Jace, and Nathan, we were able to get beautiful, thriving plants and gorgeous stones/mulch. UPDATE 7/27/23: We have continued on now as customers of RI Lawns all this time, and I am happy to report that the service has remained wonderful. As the weather gets more and more inhospitable, their reliable help keeps our yard looking in tip top shape; the (very, very few!) concerns weve had have been handled quickly, kindly, and professionally. Special thanks to the gardening team of Steve, Efrain and Jeronimo for wrangling the shrubs and other plants that have been affected by this wild weather.
Steve Martino and his team at 855rilawns have done a wonderful job installing a river rock garden in our pool area, as well as maintaining our lawn and gardens in beautiful condition! We are extremely pleased with his communication and follow up. We would highly recommend him and his team!
Excellent, fast, and detailed service! I highly recommend RILawns!
RILAWNS has revitalized our lawn after large portions of it died the previous season. Steve Martino is fantastic at responding to questions and has provided extremely valuable advice on actions to take to keep the lawn healthy. For reference the first picture is from April after a seed/loam job and the second is from June.
Best landscaping and lawn care crews in RI! #Reliablelandscaper
Steve is a great guy! Very happy to be working with him. Thank You!
Steve and his team were very focused on the items we discussed. They were very good and my yard looks GREAT
I couldnt stay home while the guys did the job, I had to get to work, I gave some quick instructions and hoped for the best. When I got home I was amazed at the wonderful job they had done. I highly recommend 855-RILawns for all of any and all of your lawn and yard work and needs
Steve and the gang at RI Lawns continue to provide excellent service for all our landscape needs. Highly recommended!
We used them to help overhaul our out of control mature landscaping, overgrown shrubbery, crazy vine problem, and general cleanup. They did an amazing job and got a lot done in an 8 hour day! We will continue to use them!
The representative that I talk too Steve helped me get a decent deal Professional and fast service for my yard
Yard looks great. The hedges they worked on look great and they made quoting and a payment easy and fast.
They were great and came on the date that I was promise, will always recommend them
Steve kept me updated about project
They did excellent work cleaning out my gutters and downspout drains. I appreciate the good communication and quick response that Steve has with his customers! Thank you.
Between having our grounds maintained and weekly lawn cuttings the professionalism, knowledge and service has been outstanding! I highly suggest you give Steve Martino a call!
Steve Martino was extremely helpful in assessing the work necessary to repair our lawn. He completed the work on time as discussed. He is pleasant and pleasurable to work with. We will definitely call Steve in the future when we need his services!
Been using the service for about a year now and Ive had 0 issues. Steve has been great.
Really pleased with 855-RILawns. A wide range of services offered; prompt quotes. Crew pays attention to yard details and follows through on timely completion. Great communication - phone, text, email, online website. Highly recommend.
Great company for all your needs! I have been using 855-RILAWNS for several years on various projects for my yard. They have always gone above and beyond to make sure the work was done to beyond satisfaction. Steve Martino and the business office is great to deal with and the crew is very meticulous in doing a great job!
Steve and his crew came right on time and did a great job for our fall cleanup. They are very communicative and thorough. Definitely give them a try.
Steve and his team did an excellent job with our leaf cleanup. I highly recommend using him again Very satisfied
The crew did an amazing job removing all our leaves, trimmed Grass Bushes, and mowed our lawn. I would definitely recommend 855 RI Lawn and Steve Martino
Steve and his team did a fantastic job on my property. My wife was stunned when she was the completed clean up.
Just had Steve and the boys from RI LAWNS do an annual fall cleanup on 3 different properties and all I can say is they did an awesome job, they worked their butts off, non stop, the yards look beautiful a 10 , thank you RI LAWNS !!!! See you in the spring!!!
Steve came and did my fall cleanup effectively and efficiently. He even took a rake to areas that were too cluttered for the blower. I really appreciate the timely and friendly service. Thank you!
The communication from this company has been witnessed to be poor and accusatory, over a $20 discrepancy. After seeing their practices, I would highly recommend ensuring you put a time cap on the expected work, because they will sit on your property for an extensive amount of time in the truck prior to beginning work and you will be billed. They lack clear and friendly communication, and should not be used unless you proceed with explicit consent and understanding of the billing process. Editing to respond- I do not need to be an active client to attest to the customer service and make a recommendation for future clients to take into account prior to using RILAWNS. It would appear that you re using this as an approach to censor reviews to boost your rating.
Great communication from Steve and thorough work
Steve and 855-RILAWNS. Were amazing! So fast professional and kind! We will definitely use them in the future! Our yard looks amazing! So many different options for yard waste removal to fit anyone s budget
Steve was always available to answer my questions & put together a landscape plan to suit my needs. His team did a great fall cleanup in my yard.
Steve was great to work with! He responded quickly and got someone out within a week! His team was very kind and did a great job removing all the leaves from our big front and backyard. Was a great experience, will contact them again next year for sure!
Steve Martino and everyone at 855RILAWNS have been exceedingly responsive and worked with the utmost professionalism. I would highly recommend them for any landscaping project.
They are concerned about your needs of your lawn, shrubs and flower beds! I like that they make suggestions with no pressure .
I wish negative stars was an option because 1 star is more than this company deserves.
Had a spring cleanup in April. Crew worked very quickly and saved a ton of time that I would have had to use. Management is easily reached and any special requests I had were met. Appreciative of the hard work of the team. Will use again next year.
First experience with RILAWNS. So far I am very pleased with the work! Crew at my house was quick and efficient. They did a much better job than I would have done! Still more to do!
We used RI Lawns for Spring cleanup, mulching and clearing an area of unwanted bittersweet and invasive vines. They are courteous, professional and showed up on time. My yard looks amazing! The Field Manager, Jim, is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from him about the plants in my yard. Loretta, the Office Manager is awesome, she will get back to you right away! I will definitely hire this company again!
My small yard is dominated by a huge maple tree. I couldnt get anything to grow under it thanks to the shade and roots. But I knew it had potential. Jim came out and actually listened to what I liked and wanted. He sketched out some ideas and we agreed on a plan. He helped me articulate my vision and made it come to life. I now have an amazing yard that will only get better as my shade garden grows in. Jim and his team were professional, polite, on-time, and worked hard. Jim truly loves all plants and values native plants. Loretta is unfailingly polite and responsive whenever I call or text. If you want the best in RI, call them today. They are worth every penny.
Very well run business.
Fire wood is not the quality that is claimed on the website. It is not seasoned enough for the price. $350 for a cord and it wont burn properly until I season it for a few more months. Update: the owner has reached out to me to adjust the price of the wood to reflect the quality of the wood and assured me that this is an isolated incident. Based on the actual price I ended up paying paired with an honest businessman that reached out to make it right I have increased my rating.
Wonderful work
These guys removed over 32 cubic yards of leaves and undergrowth from a forested section of my yard in a day and a half and did a GREAT job. Coordinating with Nathan was smooth and efficient and Will and his team far exceeded our expectations with their results! Other than the cleared out section of forest, you couldnt even tell they were ever here due to their meticulous clean. Highly recommend their services!
Good company but be careful before you sign a quote. They dont always assess the job properly, and it may cost you.
Presented a good quote, did the job on time and the mulched area looks beautiful! They were professional and friendly and I am very pleased. will contact them again for future yard jobs. Thank you.
inconsistent quality
The team is very responsive and committed to providing high quality service.
RILAWNS was ontime,professional, efficient,thorough and affordable. THIS IS MY SECOND SERVICE AND I WILL HIRE THEM AGAIN.
Justins expertise in running a landscaping business is exceptional! He is helpful, logical, attentive and very prompt in his replies. His professional consultation has helped us immensely. We are extremely pleased to have crossed paths.
Not only is the work great their lawn care and gardening services are ORGANIC! We couldnt be happier with how our property looks!
So helpful and always available when you need them.
855-RILawns was wonderful to work with. The team that showed up to remove all of our leaves, mow and clean out gutters was efficient and professional, they did an amazing and very thorough job, we were 100% satisfied and would not hesitate to recommend them to others. Loretta and Nathan were so easy to communicate with via email or phone, their prices are very affordable and fair and we definitely plan to use them for additional services in the future.
Avoid if you dont like surprise $3500 bills. Edit to address company s response: First: the credit card company did not side with them. We were unable to proceed with the dispute because we did not have a sales receipt. We should have asked for one at the time, that s on us. But they didn t give us one so we don t have the documentation to proceed. If the company would like to send us one so we can continue with the dispute, I d be glad to send it to the credit card company and see whose side they take. You have my email. Second: they gave an estimate based on the wrong property square footage. This was their mistake, not ours. To quote their email to me, they say the difference in square footage between what was in the estimate and our actual property lines resulted in a significant impact on the time . But rather than let us know there had been a misunderstanding, they just went ahead and did significantly more work than the estimate accounted for, then claimed we had asked for it to be added. This did not happen. I asked for an estimate for our yard, not 2/3rds of it. I m a public school teacher and the main breadwinner in my family. This yard cleanup cost more than I take home in a month. I would never have casually agreed to a major addition to the scope of the work. Lastly, as for the contract language, if potential customer feels it is normal for a company to exceed a quote by 5X with zero attempt to warn the customer of rising costs before or during the job, then by all means select this company to do your yard work. Original review: This company quoted us $695 for a fall cleanup. We were aware that our lawn was in bad shape due to my pregnancy and an accident that left my husband unable to do yard work for some time. I emailed them letting them know that the $695 was the maximum we could spend. We scrimped and saved for that $695 to get a lawn clean up because, despite the fact that we could barely afford it, we felt a responsibility to our neighborhood to keep our lawn in good shape. Not being in physical shape to do it, hiring a company was our only option. We had never paid for a lawn cleanup before, so as far as we knew, $695 was a reasonable price. They came and cleaned our yard. Then a few days later, with no offer of a receipt or warning, my credit card was charged $3,500. This was right before Christmas, no less. When we asked for an explanation, they informed us that the yard was in bad shape (isnt that what an estimate is for?) and that the day they arrived we had asked to add on a large part of the yard that wasnt in our original estimate (this was completely untrue, we assumed our entire yard was part of the estimate and no one informed us that they had made an error regarding our property lines). We attempted to discuss this with them, but they simply stopped responding. I understand that this is a business transaction and emotions dont enter into it... but this companys dishonesty and shady dealing have had a significant impact on my familys finances. We have had to make difficult choices that impact our children. This is why Ive chosen to leave reviews. Unfortunately, since they never sent us a receipt, my credit card company is unable to take any action. At this point I can only assume they knew this would be the case.
I have been a client of Cut Above Lawn Care for quite a few years now and I have been impressed with the care and professionalism shown by all staff members. I have had this company install a stone walkway (which is beautiful) I have had them clear an area of bushes and am in the process of having them prepare and plant that area. I have referred friends to Cut Above and they are also very satisfied with their work. I would recommend this company for all yard needs.
This is the second project we have done with A Cut. We had them weed, cut and mulch our beds. Both times we have been extremely happy. The prices are competitive, staff friendly, competent, hard working, and the attention to detail impressive. Thank you!
A Cut Above Lawn Care is, without a doubt, the best lawn care service currently available. Steve, in the office, is very personable, and easily interprets the customers needs. Omar is extremely well-educated and knowledgeable on all horticultural aspects, and it is truly enlightening to consult with him. The team is effective, efficient, and very reasonably priced. All the young men whom have physically executed the landscaping are hard-working, diligent, professional, punctual and courteous. I would highly recommend using A Cut Above, as I reside both in RI and in London I have trusted in them implicitly to provide continuous maintenance and upkeep, and they have never let me down. Look no further, these guys are The Real Deal, with a professionalism and customer satisfaction which far exceeds any service-oriented business Ive worked with in Rhode Island
A Cut Above was well above our expectations. First they did a trial job in the backyard which came out so well that we had them do a second project in the front. Omar has great ideas for design but also works with you to incorporate your ideas. His crew is professional and respects your property. I would recommend A Cut Above for any job, big or small, without reservation.
We are very pleased with A Cut Above Lawn Care. Our lawn has had some problem issues due to neglect before we bought our home and Omar and his crew have been working with us to get the lawn healthy again and I can now say we have one of the best looking lawns in the neighborhood! We are very hands on when it comes to our lawn maintenance so if you want a service that is patient, accommodating and professional this is your lawn service company. Linda Moretti
