As another year comes to an end, we want to thank LawnCare by Walter for another great season of service. Whether it is a large hardscape project to a small garden planting, they never disappoint. Logan has always been so great to work with. He has provided us so many great ideas and has done so well at tying everything together! Until next project….
Cannot thank Logan, Tim, Nick and Santos enough. Our patio turned out better than we could’ve imagined. Logan was patient, kind, helpful and always available to answer questions. Tim and his team were always prompt and friendly. Their work is unbelievable!! Absolutely would recommend!
I had an excellent experience LCBW. I appreciated Logan’s professionalism and expertise, yet he was absolutely receptive to our preferences and vision for the landscaping project around the perimeter of our home. Communication from Logan and the office was always top-notch, and my husband and I really liked how direct the contract was. Some people may be deterred by paying separate costs for the design and the plants/labor, but this is exactly what we wanted after a bad experience with another business. I will absolutely be calling LCBW for any future projects.
I was with Lawn Care By Walter for sever years. This year I decided to try another company who had good reviews but was significantly less expensive. I was really surprised to learn Lawn Care by Walter showed up this spring and did an application even though I had not paid them anything for this season. They claimed they sent letters over the winter saying they unless we call to cancel service, they will be here in the spring. They may have sent letters but, like most people, I don't open everything that winds up in my mail box. But they still insisted that I pay them $103.13. It took two phone calls (they hung up on me the first time I called) and a threat to charge them with trespassing before they agreed to drop the charge. I think a business model of trying to strong arm people for payment of services they did not want or pay for is absolutely stupid. If it turns out that I am not happy with my current service company I might have gone back to them. But all they accomplished is to alienate a potential customer. I hope they reconsider this moronic business practice.
We hired LCB to install a paver patio in our back yard, to extend our outdoor living space. Logan was great to work with! Although the project got started a little later in the summer than originally expected, we are thrilled with the result and the quality of the workmanship. The workers were friendly and professional and always left the job site picked up at the end of the day. We are very happy with our new patio and would recommend LCB to anyone looking for a landscaping company for projects big or small.
Our experience with LawnCare by Walter has been nothing but AWESOME! Logan was very prompt in getting us a design and a quote. He was also good at communicating with us about the time schedule. Manny and his crew were great to work with and responded to any requests we had without hesitation. Project turned out beautiful. We are very happy we went with LawnCare by Walter.
We hired LawnCare by Walter to redo the landscaping around our house. Logan, landscape designer, designed a beautiful plan with an extensive array of colorful plants, shrubs and ornamental trees matched to our environment. Logan was great to work with and the installation crew was efficient, flexible and friendly as well. Manny, the installation supervisor, communicated well and was helpful in adjusting elements of the plan to meet our requests. Overall very pleased and highly recommend.
Danielle was polite and professional. She was quick to come look at our project, and quick to respond with a quote. She kept in contact and completed the work in a timely fashion. We will look forward to working with her again in the spring.
They are straight up the best at what they do.
I had them replace a walkway and I was very happy with the outcome. I would recommend them.
Great people to work with.
They are great there workers go above and beyond
Mark and his team do a great job with quality and artistic side of the final product. They can change the outside of your home/business. Quality work that last.
Amazing customer service. Helped my property when we needed all new soil after new concrete put in
Customer friendly
Logan and crew did a fantastic job! Very pleased.
Everyone I met there treated me like family.
We had a patio built which came out beautifully! Logan was communicative and helpful and Tim was patient in answering our questions. All in all, a five star experience
Lawncare by Walter came out and gave me some great suggestions as to how to properly drain my back yard! I look forward to their lawncare this spring and summer!
I was there to fill out an application at the time because I herd around the neighborhood and their wonderful radio commercial that they were looking for such individuals that brought me to their place of business,seemed like nice people during my short visit
They will always go out of their way to provide services.
We have used Lawn Care by Walter for many years for fertilizing and grub and weed control. Very pleased with the service and prompt response whenever we have a question about a possible problem with our lawn. Appreciate that we get a call the day before service.
Was given a complete analysis of our lawns condition along with service options. Very satisfied.
We get compliments on how great our yard looks all the time and it s in big part because of LawnCare by Walters great weed control and fertilizer service. Thanks for helping keep our lawn beautiful LCBW.
3 summers ago my yard was mostly creeping Charlie with a little grass. LCBW came to my rescue. After just 1 summer my lawn was lush and pretty much Charlie free. Im now on a maintenance program with grub control. The grub control has helped immensely with the Japanese beetle problem. I would recommend using LCBW for your yard.
Logan was very prompt and knowledgeable about what I was looking for in every aspect of our yard. I had a qoate in my email within a few days! Excellent service!
I highly recommend LawnCare by Walter for someone like myself who wants to save time, but also money by using professionals. I say money because for me to buy the fertilizer and weed killer, I would spend almost as much as what LawnCare by Walter charges to do everything. That is even before I figure what my time is worth....ps if you pay early and upfront you get a nice % discount!
They are so professional, easy way to contact them I really like this company, they are really friendly, thank to them my yard is so perfect I wouldnt change them
Horrible company managers are rude. Also see them working in the rain with no gear for workers. Would not recommend to anyone
Danielle came to my home and planted 2 planters for an event I was having. They are beautiful, very full and full of color. I am very happy with the creation of plants and flowers she made for me!
From the initial design and planning through the completed patio and landscaping, working with the team at LawnCare by Walter was a pleasure. We were impressed with Logans design skills in both landscape and hardscape. He communicated with us often before, during, and after the projects completion keeping us informed and responding to our questions in a timely manner. Tim did an exceptional job leading the crew and carrying the designs to fruition. He demonstrated such attention to detail and concern for us to be fully satisfied with the work. This was our first experience working with LawnCare by Walter but it wont be our last! Thanks so much! Charlie and Debbie
LawnCare by Walter recently completed the replacement of a walk and small retaining walls with paver stone for us, as well as installing a dry creek to deal with a drainage issue. The walk and retaining walls were very nicely done and come with a 10 year guarantee. We ve already had many compliments from our neighbors. The dry creek has already helped quite a bit with a backyard drainage issue. The communication and responsiveness of the crew doing the work was very good and pleasant. We also appreciated the effort made to keep our yard as neat as possible while the work was occurring.
Very pleased with the landscape they designed and installed. They incorporated the items I wanted and added their own ideas, which ended up being a great looking area in the yard.
Logan and his team did a beautiful job on a variety of projects throughout our property. We cleaned out an entire bed and had all new plant material installed. A retaining wall and plant material were added to avert a drainage issue. We also filled a faulty concrete pond and added plant material. They were attentive, flexible, and worked quickly and neatly. Logan even swapped out and found new additions we requested on the same day! This project was a success from planning to installation to final product.
NO COMMUNICATION. BILL NOT RECEIVED TO PAY SO I WAS PUT IN A FINANCIAL TIMEOUT WITH NO CALL OR ANY ONE TELLING ME AN INVOICE WAS OUTSTANDING. REFUSED TO PROVIDE SERVICE YET CANT COMMUNICATE TO ME ANY ISSUES. WAS A CLIENT FOR 12 12 12 YEARS WOW, THIS IS HOW THEY REWARD LOYALTY. NEVER AGAIN. WORST COMPANY IN THIS BUSINESS. SO SAD. USE SPRING GREEN THEY DO GREAT WORK AND ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE WITH YOU!!!!!!!
We love our new patio! Working with Manny and Logan was great!
We were very pleased with the service received from this company, and would definitely use them again.
We have used Lawn Care by Walter for years. The first lawn treatment of 2021, they burnt our lawn and they wont take responsibility for it. We asked them to come out and see the damage. They told my husband that it was snow mold! We had snow mold a couple of years ago. It was around an area that doesnt get much sun. Our whole lawn has burnt lines. It looks like their equipment was not spreading evenly. Really upsets me that after years of service, they will not take responsibility for their mistake. We all make mistakes, but how you handle it tells the whole story. I wouldnt recommend Lawn Care by Walters if that is the way they handle a mistake and treat their customers.
Would like to have used them, but its been a month since Ive asked for an estimate and I havent gotten a call, an email, or anything in the mail. I called to follow up and see what the heck and the lady on the phone said she would put it on Scotts desk to have him call me. And retook my email to send the estimate and I STILL have not received anything! Poor business . Guess they are so busy they can just let jobs go.. good for them...
They came out for an estimate and we accepted. We gave them the down payment and then we didnt here from them for a while until we had to call them back. The finished product does look good but I feel like I could done the same thing for a whole lot cheaper. After leaving the previous review Scott came out right away and is going to fix the areas. Thank you Scott for your quick response and coming out right away.
They do a great job on the lawn and they do really good hardscape. Best we ever had.
we have had walters for years and never had a problem. they always were right on schedule for applications. I would always know they were at our home . contrary to some posts their consumer service is great and always return calls promptly you just need to call the appropriate person as they all have there specific jobs. Logan has done a beautiful job with planning our landscape and we worked well together as to my visions.will continue with their services.
In addition to regular lawn care services LawnCare by Walter designed and built a two tier brick paver patio. Absolutely beautiful. Great work. Thank you.
They always do quality work. Have used them for over a year and our yard looks great compared to when we first bought the house. Highly recommend!
Excellent job!
Very professional and informative LOCAL company. Put together a service package based on our specific needs.
Several overgrown bushes were removed and new ones were planted. The crew did a very nice job and left the yard looking great. They work hard and fast and were very friendly.
Danielle created 4 outdoor summer planters for my home. She did a beautiful job! She was friendly, professional and very creative. Im looking forward to having my planters done for the fall season.
I have worked with Lawn Care by Walter professionally and would not hesitate to use them for my lawncare needs. A good family and great business!
Lawn Care by Walter did a fantastic job of taking care of my yard especially during this tough dry summer. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a great looking lawn Brian B
Seeing my neighbors dandelions make what Walters does for us so very much appreciated. Only issue is we used to have a choice of doing weedcontrol with one application. Now, this year I had to buy a package. Not having a package is what separated you from the others. Would like to see this return. Otherwise, great services.
Transformed a back yard full of weeds into lush grass. Great people. I would highly recommend!
Required a quote on lawn clean up and they never responded
Great company with amazing work ethic
They get the job done at a valued price!
Great job Aerating my lawn prompt and professional.
LawnCare by Walter makes having a beautiful lawn simple, easy and affordable! And they do amazing landscape design - we love our backyard. Thank you LCbyW!!
I am highly pleased with my overall experience with LawnCare by Walter and would recommend them to anyone seeking landscaping needs. From beginning to end the communication was excellent which seems to be the biggest challenge with any service. Katie was prompt with handling my request for a quote and Scott was timely and thorough with the estimate that was provided to me. Scott took the time to answer any questions I had before agreeing on the services. He was accommodating to my schedule and willing to fit me in when an opening unexpectedly came up. On the day of the work, he and his crew were on time and he personally walked through the details with me while briefing his crew leader on the task and any intricacies. The quality of the work completed was nothing but transformative. It included a spring cleanup, trimming, mulching and edging all of which were done in a manner surpassing my expectations. After the work was completed and the crew had left, Scott stopped back by to ensure the job was completed to a high standard. Thank you for making the process painless and helping me get my house ready to sell!
Thank you for being the best !
LBWalter has cared for my landscape since 2000. I am always pleased with all these services for my home, rental property, and my office building. Their staff starting with the grounds crew, snow care team, customers assigned crew leader, tree & shrub trimmers, fall & spring clean-up, tile/brick pavers, design team, flag pole installers, water control, ornamental bedding area, quality office staff, many with higher education degrees in their field, and advice add up to a service to keep.
Great service, plus Always keeps me informed with social media.
These guys are awesome... Good people and good prices.. They are often giving back back as well!
I have been using them for about 3 years. I got tired of fighting of what to do and how to beat those weeds. Endless battles. I finally called Walter. Lawn is in much better shape and looks great! Each time I had a question or problem they sent a tech out to inspect the issue and got handled. Thank you Team Walter.
Before switching to Lawn Care by Walter we had tried several other lawn care companies and were never happy with them. Lawn Care by Walter has handled the lawn maintenance for my home and my office for several years now and does an awesome job.
Danielle knew exactly how to design our Beach project, it turned out great. I am 100% happy with Lawncare by Walter. I would definitely recommend them and will definitely use them again .
Hired Lawn Care By Walter to aerate my lawn, they came the next day and the price was very reasonable.
We have used them for annual projects, large cleaning projects, and Lawn care for 3 years now and are always pleased. Tim is so easy to work with and everyone that has come out to work on our projects have been professional, thorough and always do a great clean up. I used to call other companies for estimates, but now I just call Walter, as they always have competitive pricing and excellent service.
We had a great experience working with Logan and his crew. They were friendly and very professional. We cant wait until we can enjoy our new patio and fire pit. Highly recommend. Thanks again, Deb and Gary
Bad case of grubs.. service Sept.. 2016..late summer treatment sept.29...core aeration in October. Prepaid service for 2017 over 400. dollars. Only ONE early spring treatment on 4/17.... had Mike take a look at lawn 6/2 told him not happy with service... nothing has been done yet... worse lawn in the neighborhood will never win lawn of month.. shopping for a new service for better results. .......... now its 1/2/2018 cannot see my lawn now but last fall after treatments it has recovered somewhat. Hopefully this spring it will recover and look nice again. Thanks for your service and concern. I would like to change my rating to a four star.
Excellent lawn care at a reasonable price. Lawn techs are very friendly and helpful.
Weve previously engaged the service of two other lawncare providers and have not been happy with the work theyve done or the fact it was so difficult to contact the company with questions or issues. When we contacted LawnCare by Walter we were able to speak to someone right away, a tech was sent out to look at the lawn and give us an estimate (much cheaper than our previous provider) and service was fast, courteous and very professional.
I have been using LawnCare By Walter for many years. Love how they can turn a weed infested yard into a beautiful lawn. They are very reasonably priced, and have a terrific staff. They always let you know before they treat the lawn so your pets will be safe. I would definitely recommend them to everyone!!!
Mike has been servicing our lawn for eight years, and he has always followed through with answers to our questions, return phone calls, product knowledge about concerns. Because of Mike, and Lawn Care By Walter, our lawn is the envy of our neighborhood! Thanks to all who we have dealt with at Lawn Care By Walter.
This was the first year I used LawnCare by Walter and my yard took on a great green color. There were a lot less weeds and Im sure next year there will be even less. I have already prepaid for next year by putting the offer in the mail today.
We had relocated for close to two years; our lawn looked lifeless and had loads of weeds. Our flower beds needed weed eradication, edging and mulch. We have a couple of trees and several bushes that needed trimming and pruning. Mark responded quickly to my plea for help on the online form. We met discussed the options and over the course of the spring/summer took care of the items on my list. The gentlemen who worked on the edging and mulch were very courteous and worked in blistering heat to get my job done.It is apparent that they take pride in their work. The yard and landscaping look GREAT! I will recommend LawnCare by Walter to anyone looking for lawn/landscape help.
We used them for 3 major projects this year and had a wonderful experience! Our lawn was in desperate need of some help and they were very competitive in pricing compared to the other quotes for the same service. Our lawn is so much healthier and the weeds are nearly gone! Having just moved in last year, we didnt get to much yard work. We had a LOT of overgrowth of everything, and mixed within all of it was poison ivy! Along with this, they removed an entire rock island and relocated every boulder throughout our yard. And, created a drainage area near our home where we have had water collection draining towards our home. Danielle helped to coordinate everything and had some great suggestions for making our yard look fantastic! We cant wait to see how everything blooms in the spring. We also had them clear a large area at add a border & mulch for a swingset and this turned out great! Every employee that was in our yard over the several days of work were very respectful and did a great job cleaning up before leaving. They did everything that we asked for, as well as made suggestions that made the results even better than expected. The other thing I liked was that their estimates were clear and right on without any surprise charges at the end of the project.
