I’m new to the area and recently reached out to this company for a quote on lawn fertilization and over-seeding. The pricing I received was absolutely outrageous. They quoted me $1,500 for just 50 lbs of grass seed — and to be clear, that was only to drop the seed on the lawn, with no labor. Aeration, which is typically part of any standard over-seeding service, was quoted separately at another $500. That’s $2,000 total for a job that’s commonly done for far less.
Being unfamiliar with local pricing, I also got quotes from three other seemingly established and reputable landscaping companies, and all of them came in at two to three times less expensive — and that included complete packages with aeration, seed, and fertilization.
I contacted the company’s office to ask for clarification, hoping there was some misunderstanding, but was met with complete apathy. No response, no explanation — just silence. That kind of indifference says a lot, especially to someone new to the area who’s trying to find honest, professional service providers.
After speaking with my neighbor, he mentioned that most of the homeowner associations that used MW Lawn have since dropped them due to sloppy work and poor service. That confirmed everything I had already started to suspect — overpriced, unresponsive, and a reputation that’s clearly deteriorating.
Bottom line: This company is either deliberately overcharging or completely out of touch with industry standards — or both. I won’t be hiring them, and I strongly urge anyone considering them to get multiple quotes and ask around. There are far better, more reputable, and reasonably priced options in the area.
