My prior lawn service disappeared in the fall, so I called Fantastic Lawns on a warmer February 2024 day. The owner Tom answered, and we arranged for his crew to come out the next day to do a roof blowoff and to clean up the leaves/pine needles and larger downed branches in the yard (we have tons of large trees for a subdivision lot, when we did it ourselves we would bag 70-80 lawn bags stuffed to the top every fall). The crew of 3 to 4 people showed up around noon and went straight to work. At 4 pm they were still working and I scanned outside to check progress, which looked so wonderful that I messaged Tom about how great they were doing. The crew finished around 5:30 pm, spending over 5 hours cleaning every leaf, pine needle, and downed branch from our yard and extensive flower beds. They even pulled the dead growth from our small, fenced garden and trimmed back two out-of-control ornamental grasses. The price Tom quoted was very fair, and because his crew went above and beyond what we had discussed, we easily agreed on a fair adjustment. The only thing I am bummed out about is that Fantastic Lawns is in Holt, so they can't do my regular lawn service this coming season (but I am using them again for another landscaping project this winter).
Bottom line, Fantastic Lawns is a fantastic company that actually cares, which can be hard to find for a lawn service. I recommend them 100%, try them and you will love the results.
