We recently moved from Denver to Lakewood. While living at our home in Denver, we had used Area Northwest Lawn Service each spring for aeration and power raking. They were conveniently located a block away, so it worked out well. As far as aeration and power raking are concerned, they always did top notch work. They arrived on the day they had promised, did the work, and cleaned up after words. No complaint there! However, I do have one issue with this business. There were a few times here and there, when either our lawn mower was out of commission, or when we were in the process of moving and our mower was already loaded in the moving truck, that we had inquired as to whether they could mow our lawn. I spoke with the owner, who's name is Ron (who was always friendly), and asked if we could have them come out and cut our grass. He would always reply, "Yes, we can mow your lawn, and we'll be out every two weeks after that." I found that odd. I asked him why that was the case, and reiterated that we did not need to setup a lawn cutting schedule, as we only needed the grass cut as needed. He replied, "Well, that's the schedule." His general attitude at this point was sort of like "Take it or leave it." I found that to be very troubling. Turning away business, even sporadic business, is not a good practice in my opinion. Who knows what kind of business you could get over time from even your smallest customer? Being that we were already a seasonal customer for aeration and power raking, I was disappointed that he took that stance. I understand that mowing a lawn here and there that isn't in his normal schedule could be an inconvenience. But hey, there are plenty of other lawn businesses that would love to gain a new customer. I try to be fair and balanced in my reviews, and I am giving them 3 stars because of their good aeration and power raking work. If not for Ron's stance on mowing lawns on an as needed basis, I would have given Area Northwest a higher rating. read more

I signed up with Area Northwest Lawn Services years ago when I suffered a broken wrist and couldn't push the mower up my hilly lawn. My neighbor recommended them. My wrist recovered, but I have continued to use them because the lawn looks so much better when they do it. I find Area Northwest very dependable and sensitive to the changes in weather, temperature, etc., which is crucial these days, especially as summers have become increasingly dry and hot. They switched from a riding mower to a push-type mower after I thought the riding one was cutting too short. They will skip a mowing if they -- or I -- think it would hurt my brown, parched lawn. Robb, the owner, and his crew are friendly, helpful and responsive. read more

I used Northwest Lawn for several years. I fired them mostly for not listening to my concerns about the level of quality the lawn team was providing. When I called the owner and asked that the team spend a little more time and care in mowing my yard, he didn't seem to think I had a legitimate complaint. When he raised my weekly fee, stating higher fuel prices, I decided enough. Gas prices haven't been this low in years. Couple that with the decline in the quality of their lawn care and I was done. What has really initiated this review is the owner's explanation of why my 86 year old mother (who also used NW Lawn through my recommendation) is not receiving 'credit' for the missed mowings in April and June due to weather. In the past those missed days were added to the end of the season. Ron's explanation was that it took the crew longer the next week because the lawn was extra high. She's certainly not getting a discount in the summer when the growth slows from the heat! Lack of quality, a callous attitude and continued price increases for what used to be the best lawn care in the area. Guess they think they're too big to fail. They are certainly too big to care. read more

We used area Northwest last fall for aeration of our front yard. I spoke with the owner, who was friendly, helpful, and offered a fair price for aerating our small lawn. They came and aerated our lawn, swept up afterward, and grabbed the check we left under the front door mat. Efficient and did a nice job. Would recommend them. read more

Ron and his crew are the best! They always go above and beyond, and always professional and courteous. People must understand that they need a schedule to maintain continuity and efficiency. The ONLY lawn care business i would ever use. read more
