Serving residents and businesses in our local community of Wilmington, North Carolina with affordable lawn services without sacrificing quality or reliability. Our lawn care services range from lawn mowing to keeping your lawn healthy and weed free. We also remove weeds from flower beds and keep your lawn and landscape free of debris. Our landscaping services include maintaining your landscape by spreading fresh mulch and keeping your plants shaped to perfection. We also design and install landscapes & more. Additionally, we aerate lawns with the option to overseed at that time, or we can install sod for instant results. We also offer some less common lawn services including soil sampling, turf analysis, and mole and insect control.
Fishwater has been a great company to work with. Their crews always deliver top notch results in a timely manner. I will continue to use them for all of my landscape needs.
Glenn is a great coordinator and communicator and the crew that arrived did a great job! Worked hard and efficiently. They take care of a few houses in the neighborhood and they all look great!
Glenn, the Owner couldn't manage his crew, and did not make things right after they repeatedly caused damage to the irrigation system and newly planted sod. I tried to work this out privately and repeatedly...and they continued to cause damage. The owner then agreed that his crew won't listen to him, and to make things right he would service the property twice for free. We agreed that they don't touch the area they kept damaging. He couldn't get the crew to show up and complete. Glenn simply said: we deserve a bad rating if we don't show up. True, but says a lot about the business and his accountability. Plenty of other options and we have easily moved on.
What can I say… things started out great! Little did I know, the level of incompetence in the employees dropped dramatically. After several attempts to let the manager/owner know that I had new sod installed and they were not to drive over it, the first thing they did was exactly what they were “told” not to do. The response from the employee was (in broken English) “I not know or told this”. The next cut the same exact thing happened except this time they cut up the back yard with the wheels of the lawn mower and the response from management was “sorry they should of known better won’t happen again”. The following 2 weeks later. They did the same thing but worse and caused what you see in the images. The owner Glenn’s words were “well it’s hard to find good employees and they should of known better once they ripped up the first couple strips of your lawn to stop” and proceeded to say he thought they stopped service for me previously after messing up and recommends I find a “small owner operated company to get better service.” I was appalled at the responses, lack of care and incompetence of the employees who clearly didn’t know what they were doing. Be weary when hiring this company.
The team came out yesterday to clean our yard because it was in horrible shape. I have never seen in my life people work that hard. Francisco brought out a whole crew and they worked from maybe 8 AM until about three or 330 nonstop except for lunch and cleaned our entire yard of weeds mowed edged where our beds used to be and did above and beyond. We will definitely be using them as a regular landscaping company and will not look back.
I'm not sure if the statement, "Our yard was a mess" really sums up how much of a disaster it really was? The previous company, they who will not be named, were not doing what needed to be done and had let everything become overgrown. The weeds were out of control. The mulch washed away in previous hurricanes and rainstorms. Enter Fish Water (great name by the way). Their team came in and over 5 days (remember I said it was a mess?) got everything back to where it should be. The team showed up by 9a and worked through the day until 5-6p. Solid work ethic for sure. The prices were reasonable, the team was efficient, professional and friendly, and the responsiveness to questions from the backoffice was timely. We also signed up for regular maintenance to keep it looking this way going forward. You won't regret hiring them.
I was impressed with FishWater Landscaping from my first call. Glenn listened to my lawn issues and together we agreed on a solution. Next day an employee was out assessing my lawn. Glenn scheduled the work to be done on my schedule. Crew supervisor and members were pleasant and hard working. Job was completed in two days at a very reasonable price. I called 10 landscaping companies and Wishwater Landscaping was the best by a mile. If you're tired of dealing with voice mails give Glenn a call...he answer's the phone. Fishwater Landscaping will remain in my contact list!
We have used several different landscaping companies and I gotta tell you Fishwater Landscaping is the best company we have used so far. The workers are extremely good at what they do and they are fast! They take care of all our weeding as well as mulch installation once a year. They get the job done swiftly and do it right every time.
Quality work, very neat, polite and respectful. The team did an outstanding job. Highly recommend.
They did an awesome job for us, cleaning up our backyard and adding plantings. I will definitely use them again!!
We are a small community of 20 townhomes with extensive landscaping. Weve only had Fishwater servicing out property since January and we have been very pleased! Very good communication from the start! Amanda took the time to walk the property with me to discuss our needs. Florencio also took time to walk property before the crew did pruning & mulching. Ive had nothing but positive comments from residents! The crew did a fantastic job pruning and mulching! The crew is friendly! They did a great job everywhere! Dont hestiate to give Glenn a call, they will take care of you!
We used Fishwater Landscaping for a sod installation. As soon as we confirmed the quote with Glenn the next day their crew showed up ready to begin prepping the ground for installation day. They were punctual, professional, and efficient knocking out our backyard sod project in 2-3 days. Great work Fishwater!
We ended up contacting this company later in the spring than we wanted to, because we initially hired another company who no-showed. They responded immediately and had our yard done within a couple days! The crew did great work and the price was good. Very happy, would absolutely recommend them!
Within one week of inquiring about mulch, the job was complete. Glenn was responsive, easy to work with, has fair prices and uses quickbook online bill pay. The crew who completed the job was incredible. Professional & efficient, friendly, and knocked out the job within an hour of arrival. They clearly have a system in place and our yard looks great thanks to them. From edging, spraying for weeds, and cleaning up afterwards- they sure did deliver. I highly recommend.
They never finished job left heavy limbs to be pkup next day. No call no show numerous text to back and forth finally told they no more texts if do not pkup. 4 piles left was going to facebook and better business. We are in our 70s and had to dispose what was.not taken and paid to do. Very bad customer relations. No response what so ever. With numerous texts back and forth.
Fishwater Landscaping provides excellent service to my residence. Their proficiency, promptness, and communication are valued services in my world. Thank You Fishwater !!
When they work they are reasonable. Been using them a year until today. Trying to get an answer of when my lawn would be cut became a major project. Reached out to Glenn on Saturday and Monday and Tuesday and finally today terminated services with them. Terrible customer service especially from the owner. He told me he gives them a list of property s and they do what they can
We ve worked with Fishwater for the past few years and they have helped us with annual maintenance like tree trimming and re-mulching as well as special one time jobs to transform the yard. We ve always been happy with the results, how easy the crew is to work with, and how well they take care of my yard and make sure we don t infringe on my neighbors . We definitely recommend them!
Awesome company - reliable and affordable
The landscapers are so professional and polite. They gave an estimate and cut my jungle of a yard the day I approached them about the job. They did an excellent job and I could not possibly be more pleased with their work and the price is affordable!!!! I highly recommend!
1 year later - these folks do an outstanding job. Theyre fast, friendly, and save me a ton of time. I value this service a lot and thought Id update this review.
We recently moved into the area and needed a landscape service. We received a quote very quickly and were put in the schedule. Our first service was this week and the guys did a great job (especially on the edging). We would highly recommend this company.
I highly recommend Fishwater Landscaping. They did an amazing job and my property looks incredible! They prepped for sod and installed 4 pallets along with mulch all around my property. Looks straight out of a magazine! They are quickly responsive, very professional and friendly. 10/10 would chose this company for any other landscape or yardwork needs!
We used Fishwater for pine straw/mulch installation and tree removal services this week. They were extremely responsive on the front end and got us scheduled for the work right away. The crew did impeccable work and took extra care to ensure our yard looked pristine when they were done. I will definitely use their services again and recommend them to our friends and family!
Fishwater was able to obtain the type sod I requested and complete the installation one day ahead of schedule. It was a large job and they made good progress over the two days it required as it was about half of my entire yard. The old sod was removed, the ground leveled with new dirt and installation was completed and sprinklers adjusted as needed. The crews were timely, professional, and cleaned up the work area exceptionally well each day. I definitely recommend Fishwater and would use them again.
The staff was absolutely amazing. Extremely professional. Their work is exceptionally perfect. They replaced flower hooks in the ground and cleaned up perfectly. My new lawn looks amazing. Thank you.
Hard working crew, very detail oriented. Best mulching job weve had in wilmington.
Awesome company. Dependable, professional, and they go above and beyond with their service. Glenn and his team have got it going on!
They butchered my yard when we didn t use their service. When called to complain about their mistake I was told I should be grateful that I got a free lawn mow. Considering that the lawn isn t supposed to be mowed because it s my choice to grow it out as ornamental grass with other plants mixed in I now have a free expensive chore to replace. Won t answer my calls nor attempts to have them correct their mistake. Highly upset by the lack of responsibility Jeff and his crews take. Do not recommend anyone use the his service.
Fishwater Landscape has done an excellent job each time I ve called for occasional yard work. They ve been able to add me to the schedule and offer very reasonable pricing for my needs.
Good company. Glen is willing to work with clients. Florencio is very helpful. Team is hardworking. I recommend the company.
I have used Fishwater Landscaping for almost a year now and I am always 100% satisfied by their quick, efficient, and beautiful work. I highly recommend them!
All aspects of Fishwater is A+! Florencio and his crew were diligent ,friendly and hard working.They applied quality straw and mulch in all my garden areas around entire house and literally not leaving a piece of straw on walkways and grass. I am thrilled with their service and let the owner (Glen) know as soon as they left.You will not be sorry using Fishwater Landscaping for any service offered!
This was Fish Waters first visit and we are extremely satisfied. We are going to look into some of their other services as needed.
Very responsive and very pleased with the work. Glenn and Florencio were great to work with. Fair estimate for the work completed. Would highly recommend them for any lawn work.
Florencio and his crew did a great job cleaning up my yard, removing dead shrubs and trimming limbs back from the house. Glenn s communication was timely and spot on. Thank you Fishwater.
Fish Water was quick with my request for help with yard cleanup at my new home. They got me on the schedule immediately and I was floored at how amazing my yard looks. Thank you so much!
I found him based on a referral and from the first moment speaking with him I knew I found the Man! I am very pleased with him, his crew, his way of doing business! Five Stars indeed!!!
Fishwater installed zoysia sod and it looks great. Very easy to deal with and honest. They overestimated and Glen refunded the difference. All of his workers are professional and very friendly. Keep up the good work!
Very good price and they were able to fit me on the schedule just hours after I called. The yard looks fantastic and I didnt have to lift a finger!
I hired Fishwater to help me with removal of some invasive vines in my yard that had gotten out of control. It was not an easy job but they handled it beautifully. The person I met with was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable-and listened! The team took care of my requests and got it all cleared out, and were very very careful with what I wanted left alone. They went above and beyond and made everything look so tidy and saved shrubs from being choked out by the vines. They pruned the plants left, and have made it so we can have healthy growth that will look nice as it grows in. They were timely coming to do the estimate, got me on the schedule quickly, and were very professional. Again, this was a hard job and they handled it like true professionals from beginning to end. Thank you so much for such an awesome job-this is such a weight off my shoulders! We will be using their service again for future projects and 12/10 would recommend!
I called Fishwater Landscaping based on a neighbors referral. I called on a Friday, and they were able to do my yard that weekend. Wow! My yard has NEVER looked this good. Super friendly and responsive staff. Theyve earned a long term customer for sure. Many thanks to the team!
FishWater Landscaping is the greatest! They are the only lawn business I have ever seen that actually posts their price range for the many different services they offer. I sent a request for information from their website and someone called me within the hour. My first service went fantastic. The guys that showed up were diligent in their work with mowing, weed eating, and edging. My yard has never looked so good. It is such a relief knowing my yard will be taken care of all summer. I would definitely recommend FishWater Landscaping to anyone who needs their lawn taken care of.
I filed a BBB complaint and initiated an investigation with the NC State Pesticide Inspection officials. I am BEYOND upset at what has transpired. I hired this company to provide lawn maintenance on my ONE YEAR old sod at my residence. They did not stick to the times and treatment plans as they stated in the initial meeting, used a weed killer instead of a fertilizer on my lawn, the treatment for moles was not completed successfully, and to top it all off killed my lawn. When I emailed them, texted them, and called them I received no response. It wasn t until after the inspector and the BBB got involved that I finally heard from them. However one person tells you one thing and the other says something completely different. They originally said to the inspector, the BBB, and to me that the lawn would be replaced. Now I am faced with taking legal action to have this fixed since they refuse to communicate with me once again. I hired them at the beginning of May this year and by May 27th my lawn was dead. I have not mowed my lawn since or have been able to enjoy my backyard. I don t recommend this company for your Lawncare. If you would like to see what my lawn looked like before and after please feel free to email me at [email protected].
I could not have been anymore happier with the choice of Fishwater Landscaping for my landscaping needs. They advertised same day service and have a deal going on which could NOT be turned down. I had never dealt with them before, but speaking with Glen, he was very professional and caring and completely fulfilled my request of having the lawn mowed and weed whacked as a surprise for my son. He sent two guys out and they did an excellent job. I was VERY pleased. Super friendly and very honest. I definitely would recommend them to you for your landscaping needs, plus they do way more than just mowing and weed whacking. Very impressed and will definitely be utilizing their service again in the near future.
We contracted Fishwater to place sod in our residential back yard. They put in centipede grass and it looks amazing! We are so pleased with the outcome. They were very responsive, professional and conscientious. I would be more than happy to recommend them to our neighbors, two of which have already asked for their information. Great company to work with for your landscaping needs. We have followed their advice on watering to the letter and it is paying off in a big way!
Just had our first visit from Fish Water -- the guys did a wonderful job and were really responsive to questions I had and addressing the concerns I have with our yard. I intend to use them going forward for maintaining not only our lawn but for landscaping, too. Definitely would recommend to others looking for lawn care assistance.
They came out the same day I called, and they did a beautiful job. I signed up for regular service right away. Great prices, extremely quick, professional service.
The owner is nice!
I chanced upon this company through an Internet search. I have high expectations and rarely do reviews but this company deserves 10 stars. My previous service had given me an outlandish Estimate for a fall cleanup and pruning/trimming/mulch. Fish water gave me a great price and I thought the service would be adequate at most. I was shocked at what an amazing job they did. I m switching to them for my regular yard work and am recommending to everybody I know.
Had a large spring cleanup project needing completion in a very short period of time. Fishwater was able to provide someone to come out right away and everything looks great!!
Contacted for service 5 days ago never heard back and when I reconnected them he said they would pass. WOW!
We are new to the area and called Fishwater for an estimate. They responded the same day and not only evaluated our new lawn- they mowed it!! Great people to work with.
Fish water landscape is the best company I have hired. They are very friendly and did a great job! When I contacted them, they were out to do the job within a few days. I highly suggest using them!!
They came out very fast and did a great job on my yard! They were incredibly friendly and responsive to my needs.
Great same day service! Thank you!!
Fishwater Landscaping did a beautiful job for me. They were prompt, efficient, and reasonably priced! Very professional people.
We are happy to tell you that we are very pleased with this lawn service. As both a property manager and for my personal needs, I have found Fishwater s business ethics to be outstanding. Their people work hard , they come when they say they will, they are very knowledgeable about your lawn and plants, they offer suggestions for your benefit. I always feel good about the work they have done when they leave. I am satisfied my clients got the service they requested at very reasonable prices and reliable service. We put our name on the line when we send them out and we are happy to do so. Dianne Perry for Dianne Perry and Company
We enjoy working with this company. They are responsive, reliable, reasonably priced and knowledgeable. Our yard has greatly improved since they started working for us. When we go away for periods of time, we can rest assured our yard will be taken care of. Would highly recommend them.
I have a small business and found Fishwater to be professional and helpful. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful with good advice. They take time to recommend items they see that need care and have fare pricing. I would recommend Fishwater!
I am very pleased with this lawn service. As a property manager, I have found Fishwater s business ethics to be outstanding. Their people work hard, they come when they say they will, they do the work to your requested specifications, they are very knowledgeable and their prices were reasonable. Detrick and his crew in the Ogden area are exceptional. They deserve to be rewarded for a job well done. Thank you for being a company I know I can always count on.
