HIRE THEM! When we moved into our house 12 years ago it was a foreclosure and everything was so overgrown, our entire corner was crabgrass, and i was giving a solid showing in the run for the award of suburban lawn with the highest number of interesting and odd looking weeds- except none of it was actually interesting, just horrifying, and there are no real awards. I had tried using other companies, but saw no change. I tried to maintain my lawn myself, which saved me no money and just led to frustration, and again, no awards. Nothing made it better. We just couldn't seem to recover and pull it out of embarrassment territory no matter how hard we tried. I was seriously ready to pull all my grass out and start over with new sod. I considered burning my crabgrass, or something equally dramatic and useless. BUT THEN.....last year I hired Doehling Landscape, and everything changed. I can come out of my house in the summer and talk to my neighbors without feeling like I have to apologizing for being a drain on their property values. I now have a lawn I am proud of. My neighbors are asking ME who does our lawn!! WHAT?! I am floored. Matt spent time on the phone with me teaching me about my specific lawn, the unique challenges it has, and how to change my watering/mowing to maximize the benefits of what his company was going to do. Every time they came out they were kind, professional, and seemed genuinely happy to see me. Let's be honest, having someone smile at you these days is it's own gift all by itself. Lawn or no lawn. They even blew the leaves off my driveway and sidewalk and made our yard look ridiculously next level. (I may or may not have gone strutting around outside after they left each time, relishing in the glory of it all. If you ask me, I will deny this.) They would address any issues or questions I had, never treating me as if it was an inconvenience to do so. They send out an email a few days before service telling you what is going to happen, when, and what you need to do to prepare for their arrival. I love well run companies. This is one of those companies. These guys are "your guys." You have lawn people now, as soon as you hire them. Do yourself the favor and call them now so you don't have to spend one more second thinking about your lawn. You can thank me later, while you are strutting around your yard too. read more
