Living in Belle Fontaine in South Mobile County for the last 17 years has been nice, except for lacking long-term quality lawn care. Previous lawn care guys didn't last, quitting the business for one reason or another. This year, I found Chelsea and Shane with Southern Rooted Lawns, who several neighbors referred on Nextdoor. I was impressed when I saw Shane on a job trimming brush along a ditch in my neighborhood, so I asked for a trimming quote. Shane and a helper trimmed two giant 8'x10' gardenia bushes and small trees in my azaleas. He did say he was an azalea trimming expert, but I had yet to budget for that. He did a fantastic job; the gardenias are looking great.
Not happy with my current lawn care service for bi-weekly grass cutting, I asked for a quote that came in comparable according to the size of my lot and the type of services I wanted. Oh my goodness, I got so much more for my money! He takes pride and puts quality in his work every time. When I did my own yard work, I swept the pine straw under the trees - no other lawn care guy did that; they would just run over the pine straw with the lawnmower. Shane blows the pine straw under the trees. Edging - he remembers to edge each and every time, not once in a while, then blows off the porch - that's a first in all the years I've had service. Shane is conscientious and considerate while working the regular lawn care job; the grass is never sprayed at the windows, and no gates are ever left open. If there are any additional requests, he will let you know if he can or can't do it or may refer you to someone who might. Shane can trim away nuisance vines and shrubs he wouldn't usually have time to do during his routine yard work when the season gets slow, so I add that in the winter.
With Chelsea and Shane informing me about my service schedule and their commitment to reschedule after bad weather, I depend on Southern Rooted Lawns to keep my yard looking great year-round. With additional trimming of trees, vines, and saplings growing in the azaleas and continued maintenance, my yard will look better than ever. Lastly, if you ever wanted your lawn to look sculpted as you see on a vast estate's lawn, take a look at the photos of what Shane does to my lawn and ditches. read more
