What Our Customers Are Saying

“I have been pleased all year long with the service. Thank you for making my lawn look great!”

Ginger S.

“Jim was very conscientious in treating our lawn. I hope he comes back next year to continue his great service.”

David C.

Our yard was was completely damaged from a drainage install we had done and we have clay soil which is the absolute worse to deal with. We literally needed a whole new lawn installed from front to back. Grasshopper Gardens was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Whether I was speaking to someone from the office or the two men who came and did all the hard work, everyone was so professional and courteous. They did such an amazing job leveling out our yard (which was definitely not easy, even breaking up clumps of clay by hand) laying down the top soil, grading and then hydro seeding the whole thing. They came on time, worked hard the whole time they were here, respected my property and banged out the whole job in one day. I am so happy we chose them and will definitely continue to be a customer for years to come.

Alicia S.

“We are very happy with the service we received. Your employees take pride of the work they do. Thank you.”

Angela A.

We wanted a large back patio and fire pit living space for our home. We met with Parker Crossley of Grasshopper Gardens for the estimate. He listened carefully to what we had to say. He was like a guide that offered things to consider to ensure our final decision would be an educated one that fit what we really wanted. We were blessed and fortunate to have had Shannon (Project Team Lead/Supervisor) assigned to do our project. He was consistently careful to discuss all significant details with us before doing the work stages to ensure what he created fit with what we hoped to achieve. Everyone that we dealt with at Grasshopper Gardens had been pleasant, professional and very accommodating. The finished project was everything that we wanted and we are so happy with it. When we have another outdoor project to do – we will definitely be contacting Grasshopper Gardens.

Steve B.

The guys were just excellent. Their expertise in their work was very evident. The placement of the tree was just right. The new tree looks perfect in our yard. When they were done our lawn was perfect and it looked like the tree had been there for long time. I would whole heartedly recommend Grasshopper Gardens and LJ and Billy for any tree service. Thanks very much for a job well done.

Don & Sue M.

Laurie W.

“It was a great season for my lawn….looking forward to another great season for 2020!”

Judith R.

“James really took the time to talk to me about my lawn and treated it like it was his own. This was an excellent experience from a customer service perspective. Just what I am looking for from a local (not national) company.”

Michael M.

“This year was the very first time we ever used a treatment company. Jeremy was sent as our tech and he was beyond outstanding. Always communicated when he was coming, rescheduled when the weather didn’t cooperate, and he paid special attention to our lawns special needs. Not only did he bring an embarrassing site back to life, he made recommendations on how to improve it even more. Thank You Jeremy for your expertise and dedication to your company. We have already been sharing out positive experience with others. Keep up the good work.”

Paulette B.

A truly healthy lawn requires attention throughout the year, and our organic approach adapts to each season’s demands. In spring, we jumpstart your lawn with aeration, soil samples, and organic fertilizer to rebuild soil structure after winter. Summer lawn care focuses on proper mowing height, natural weed control, and pest management to help your lawn withstand heat and environmental conditions. Fall is critical for organic programs—we apply organically composted topdressing, overseed with a cool-season grass mixture, and add organic matter to prepare your soil for winter. This year-round organic lawn care program ensures your home lawn stays resilient, and your healthy soil continues building strength season after season.
