Danielle created 4 outdoor summer planters for my home. She did a beautiful job! She was friendly, professional and very creative. I'm looking forward to having my planters done for the fall season.

Lawncare by Walter recently completed a large landscape and hardscape project around our new pool. We had an idea of what we wanted, but Logan helped us all along the way to create a beautiful outdoor space.… What could’ve been a stressful process, instead was a very positive one with a beautiful end result. It was a great experience for us working with Logan, Tim, and their crew. We are thankful for their hard work, knowledge, and expertise!

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.

They've had my money for four treatments since December, but they have yet to do one treatment. I have had to spray for weeds on my own. And that's what I am supposedly paying them for. Very unhappy with their service.

Not happy at all. I'm still waiting for the first treatment. I called the week before last and they said they would be out last week. No one showed up. I always end up spraying the weeds myself, even after they have treated for them.
I will not be a customer next year and if I can cancel and get my money back this year, I will.

Highly recommend Lawn Care by Walter. Logan did an excellent job executing his landscaping recommendations and design last year. The yard looks great this year. Thanks Logan. They are adding a few more shrubs this year.

They came out for an estimate and we accepted. We gave them the down payment and then we didn't 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.

Our next door neighbors hired this company. They parked on our property blocking my lane so I couldn't get through. They also took their equipment through my yard to get to the neighbor's yard. Incredibly disrespectful. It happened again today. Our security cameras picked up their truck coming up my lane and then going to the neighbors. Based on this, I would never use them.

I think they need to spend less $ on advertising and more $ on employees. They've showed up once in two months and that was after multiple calls. However, they are quick to send a letter stating you're under contract until you cancel.

My yard looks like the worst in the neighborhood. I’ve called and they said they would take care of my lawn. Never bothered to call or come out. Even though they said they would. They put such little top soil on my yard, the grass seed couldn’t even grow. Now my yard looks worse than when they started. Since the grass didn’t grow in my yard as it… should have, parts of my yard are back to gravel due to erosion. I’d really like my thousands of dollars back so I can have a professional do my yard since it’s been over a year and they cannot get it right. Based
