Stop scrolling. I was in your shoes a few days ago, reading Yelp reviews, comparing photos, getting estimates, and trying to find someone I could actually trust with some mature trees in my backyard. If that's you, save yourself the time. Hire Eric and his crew at Modern Lawns. Our backyard had become seriously overgrown. We had two large mature trees that needed professional thinning, a citrus tree that hadn't been maintained in years, an overgrown flowering tree, and a long privacy hedge that desperately needed attention. I was nervous because once a tree is cut, there's no going back. I wanted someone who actually understood tree care, not someone who would just show up with a chainsaw and leave everything looking butchered. Eric immediately impressed me with his knowledge. He explained why he recommends surgical pruning instead of simply chopping trees down, and after seeing the finished product, I completely understand why. The difference is incredible. The trees now have a clean, natural shape, the citrus looks healthier while still keeping plenty of fruit, the backyard feels noticeably bigger and brighter, and they preserved the character of every tree instead of turning them into ugly stumps or perfectly round "lollipops" like you see so often. What really separated Modern Lawns from other companies was the professionalism. They showed up exactly when they said they would, worked efficiently, protected the surrounding landscaping, and when they finished, they cleaned every branch, leaf, and piece of debris. They even rinsed down the patio before leaving. It honestly looked better than I could've asked. The entire project, including the tree work, hedge trimming, hauling away all the debris, and complete cleanup, was money well spent. Looking around my yard now, I wouldn't change a single thing. Eric takes pride in his work, and it shows. It's rare these days to find someone who combines knowledge, craftsmanship, and fair pricing, but that's exactly what we experienced. If you're reading reviews because you're trying to decide who to hire - you won't be disappointed - Call Eric. I know I'll be using Modern Lawns for all of our future tree maintenance. read more

Had Eric give me a quote on 6 trees to be trimmed and topped off and a banana tree to be trimmed back.. super reasonable! He had several workers and an arborist which I was happy about as I didn't want a hack job. They did an AMAZING job! Nice top off and thinning out of the trees, cleaned up all the mess (and there was a ton!) and even washed down the walkways and driveway! I have to say I was so very impressed!! Great work ethic and very professional! Will Definitely use him in the future! Thank you Eric! Hard to find such professional service anymore! read more
