What Our Customers Are Saying
Rejuvenate Health and Wellness Centers
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honest and Professional - Rare to Find These Days! I contacted ABC Lawn Care about my struggling lawn area, and Ian came out to assess the situation. What impressed me most was his complete honesty - even though their company offers lawn care packages and could have easily sold me fertilization services, Ian was upfront that my dead St. Augustine grass needed to be replaced with new sod rather than trying to revive it. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, including why the grass died (heat and drought stress), the best timing for sod installation (waiting until September due to the current heat), and even gave helpful suggestions about working with my landlord on costs. As a renter, I really appreciated his understanding of my situation. Ian answered all my questions patiently and didn't try to oversell me services that wouldn't actually solve the problem. It's refreshing to find a company that prioritizes giving customers the right solution over making a quick sale. Once I get the sod down, I definitely plan to use ABC Lawn Care for ongoing maintenance. Highly recommend them for honest assessments and professional service!”

“Doug is a 5 star for sure. If it wasn't for him I was about to cancel the rest of my service because the other technicians are not up to par. One caused a lot of damage by spraying mosquito spray into all my fruit trees and then also dousing my herb garden also with mosquito spray. A different tech came out and didn't even remotely complete the job because I wasn't there (but he was on video) so he had to come back to complete it. This 5 stars is for Doug only. The other experiences with this company (there are more) have been one star.”
