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.

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.

January 23, 2023

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!

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.

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.

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.

January 23, 2022

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...

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!

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.
