Custom came out to aerate, just a day after calling. The team (Orion and Sean) were quick, friendly, and attentive. They worked around my posted stakes (buried cables), which NEEDED to be done, I need that cable for my internet, and I work from home ! After they were done, they checked in for questions or concerns. It was very nice to see dedicated young men working their task well. read more

We have used Custom Lawn for many years. My dad started the service before he passed. His lawn was very important to him. We have had great service over the years! Laron is our current technician... he is friendly and professional! Happy to continue our service!!!! read more

This is by far the worst company I have ever hired to spray my lawn. After several applications we still had a problem with mosquitos. One day my son witnessed the technician pull in and place a sign in the yard and then leave claiming he sprayed. It took us several weeks to get anyone on the phone to cancel our service and then they still wanted to charge up for the last application. I will never recommend this company to anyone. Even the customer service department is rude and unprofessional. read more

A 5 star review for this awesome crew. I highly recommend Custom Lawn Care. They have done a great job taking care of our lawn. Thank you to Steven Hall for his great customer service today, and to Mike Hartwick for all of his help over the phone. This is an awesome company to work with. Thank you! Sally Ruterbusch read more

Always great service and family owned which is rare these days. Very few families with trugreen buying them.

Good communication and service. If you have a question they get back to you within 24-48 hours

After Jason finished fertilizing my lawn, I had some questions and he was very patient and very informative. I could tell that he cares about his work and about his customers. A true pro and a nice guy. read more

Requested mosquito & tick spray on a seasonal, annual basis. Austin Burrows was my tech this time. Very kind, respectful & did a thorough job of coverage to my property. Highly recommend Austin! read more

Always happy with how my lawn looks, credit to Custom Personalized Lawn Care on the job they do on my lawn!! Highly recommended...

I still have weeds in my lawn. I've called and emailed and they do come out to pray again. This lat time I emailed Paul.P. and he ALWAYS has to say something like well why didnt you call sooner or you need to contact us in 3 days after spray. INSTEAD OF J7ST SETTING UP SOMEONE TO COME LOOK AT THE WEEDS LEFT AFTER SEVERAL SERVICES AND TAKING CARE OF IT. I FEEL he is a smart ass and I'm not using custom lawn after this year BECAUSE OF PAULS LACK OF CONDESCENDING REMARKS. read more

i had to post a positive review today. custom lawn care services our yard. they did this last week. we had some snow on the ground. we had Christmas decorations up. they accidentally ran over a cord and it broke one of our statues. when my husband motives it he carves a piece out of wood so i would stand back up. today they came to the door to apologize foe what happened. they gave me the broken piece, a template, and they made us a new piece. now that is custom service! most people would have done nothing. so thank u for doing the right thing. we appreciate it! read more

Love their work now had some growing pains but they are pretty good for what we pay and the services they offer. Highly recommend custom lawn care my yard always looks great read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I ordered ONLY 3 applications for my lawn between March and November 2016. I ordered this service by phone. I had my house on the market with a sign in the yard. I NEVER signed a contract and paid for the applications over the phone. I sold my home and left at the end of November. I am now being turned over to collections for applications they did without my consent. They state their invoice is a continuous ongoing contract until you cancel. I specifically told them I was moving and ONLY wanted 3 applicants so the lawn looked nice while on the market. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY or you will end up with a big bill!!! UPDATE: They continue to harass me & threaten me. My next step will be to report them to the BBB read more

We used Custom Lawn this year and over 14 years this is the most disgusting assortment of weeds I have ever seen. They obviously do not want to expand their service area to South Lyon and SHOULD NOT HAVE tried! We prepaid for 4 treatments.. got one in April and one 3rd week of July and might get one in Sept and October. This makes no sense to me and I can well understand why the weeds grew a foot before I asked them to come out in July. I was informed that we ordered 4 and WE skipped the summer treatment, I disagreed and begged to know when 4 treatments would be done. He only told me Sept and October after I reminded him that Nov - March would likely have frozen ground and snow on the lawn. His professional response:"You lived in Michigan all your life and know weeds grow year round" I told him he is fired, after the prepaid services are completed read more

SCAM ALERT! I paid them in full for the year. They claim I had an automatic renewal on a grub control application which I had to cancel by phone. They provided the service without my authorization and charged me for it. Did not sign any contract for the service. It is a classic auto renew SCAM! read more

Signed up in March 2022 for 7 applications as of July 1 only 2 had been done and the lawn looks no different. Cancelled the service on July 6. Customer service is worthless and rude, contacted the person that signed me up to let him know I was cancelling the service and he couldn't get rid of me fast enough. By far the worst service company I have ever used. If I would have read the reviews it would have saved me a lot of aggravation. Now it looks like I will be dealing with an "automatic renewal" problem. After cancelling because of extremely poor service "automatic renewal" shouldn't be a problem. read more

Tried to strong arm my 92 year old mother into more treatments after she paid for one and was told she had to pay for the year. They were advised if they came onto the property again the police will be called. DO NOT USE This company. read more

This company raised to its own level of incompetence. 1. My lawn had moss and broad leaf after a full season treatment 2. the following season they provided a service without my my approval or permission then sent a bill. 3. Paul (agent I spoke with) refused to reverse the claim and alleged that this has been their practice for 32 years and many clients complained about this auto renewal process 4. maybe it's time to rethink how you conduct business. 5. whenever you hire a contractor, please consider a company that does business with honesty and integrity before you hire read more

Contacted BBB, although custom lawn never responded to the BBB so my case was dropped until custom lawn answers the BBB mailings or calls back one of the 3 voice mails. Filling out paperwork tonight for Attorney Generals office. I would let it go if they would let my $359 dollar grub x treatment go away since I never responded to their letters they say they sent in February and March. I do not understand how they can send you something regular mail in hopes that you throw away as junk mail or never receive it since it was not sent priority mail where you have to sign for it. If your reading this custom lawn please remove the grub x treatment off my bill and show me the credit by 8-14-19 or I send my complaint form to AG office. It's that simple read more

Very shady business practices. After moving into our new home we realized the lawn needed some attention for the weeds and bugs. We signed up for the program to get us through the end of the summer which was three applications of weed & feed and three applications of bug spray. This was all we ordered. At the beginning of the fall season I came home one day to find in additional bill on my door for an additional fall application. I called and disputed this as we had not ordered the fall application. I was told that they usually record calls from customers when placing orders but they didn't seem to have one on file for our account (because we didn't order it). They refused to reverse the bill. This was so unprofessional and I never use this company again. I would never recommend this company to anyone. They never called ahead and you never know when you can come home one day to a bill for extra services they performed while you were gone and claim you ordered. read more

Terrible customer service!!! Purchased a six application package for fertilizing and weed control. Today is August 1 and I have only received 2 treatments, I paid for the package in full in April. I have called the office four times only to be told they would send someone out in the next three days. Still waiting. Their excuse, two staff are out with injuries, yet several of my neighbors are still receiving their services. I have also asked to speak to a supervisor and have verified that the notes are put in my file. Still waiting on that call as well. read more

Eric Gage has always given 110% to his customers. He listens to the problems you have and works with you to get the best results! Thank you Eric! read more

When we moved, and transferred service it wasn't stated to us that the 7 step treatment would begin all over at the new property. Nor was it stated that our lawn would be fertilized during a snow storm. We had a hard time getting funds transferred to new address also therefore it showed we owed several hundreds of dollars until a third call was made to the main office. I wanted to believe that this was a good company to use, the sales guy was friendly at the home show, but we were solicited several times over the phone for grub/mosquito control and other lawn services such as aerating. The Mosquito control only lasts a week at most, and grubs were still in my flower beds in October, not worth the money. When I called Customer Service to question the last treatment (which was done the day of a snow storm) I was told that I didn't relay to the person on the phone that I only wanted the balance of the treatments and not to begin the service all over. I'm sorry but when I transferred the funds and address, why would I think to mention this - it was already Mid to the End of JUNE. What professional lawn service does a treatment when it's snowing and/or doesn't relay pertinent information regarding a service to being started all over half way through a Michigan summer or give any notification of when treatments would be done. To me this seems like this service is more money based than caring for our lawn. read more

paid in full up front early 2021. lawn has been FULL of weeds all year. it is now mid june, tech was just out to spray weeds. Paid to have lawn at my new home PROFESSIONALLY cared for. Promised excellent service by salesman. Included- a review of lawn at first visit detailing any problems (never got). Prompt return to retreat any areas needed (never got). Called office a week after my first treatment- I had a lawn full of healthy weeds- some were actually flowering. No one came out to look at lawn or retreat it. Promises made at sign up are not being kept. Too bad actual service provided is not handled as well as the sales are. I could have done better and cheaper myself. At this point, I am an unsatisfied customer who feels taken advantage of. read more

I received a treatment on my lawn during the week of May 22, 2017. I came back home after Memorial Day and my lawn was burned. I called the office and I was told a manager would call me back. On three separate occasions, no manager called but they sent the same inexperienced technician back out to fix my lawn. I finally got a manager and he indicated that the technician was inexperienced and they were "working with him" and they would send someone else out to fix my lawn. I said ok, but I did not feel I had to pay for the treatment that burned my lawn. The manager said I would still have to pay. I then told the manager that I would fix my own lawn, cancel the service, and not pay the bill. Mind you, I was still willing to keep the service, but I did not want to pay for the treatment that burned my lawn. When he said I would still have to pay, that is when I said I would cancel the contract and not pay for that treatment and the manager agreed! I then received a notice indicating that my bill was late. I called the office again and they said that the manager did not agree that I would not have to pay for the treatment that burned my lawn and that I still owed and if I did not pay it would be sent to collections. It truly is not about the $25.50, but the fact that they expect me to pay for a treatment that burned my lawn. This is not good business practices at all and I would never recommend them as a lawn service. I finally got a call from Bob Ward and he indicated that I would not have to pay. I am glad the matter is finally settled. June 27, 2017 read more

Stay away from this company. They'll tell you all about how they are a "family owned company" and then treat you worse then one of the big companies. I called them in 2018 and said I'd like to try their services for the year. I got 6 or 8 of their chemical treatments (they don't tell you what chemicals they use. I have a cottage and the service there leaves me a note every treatment letting me know what exactly what they put on my lawn) Frankly, it didn't make a difference in the condition of my lawn. I didn't renew and they dumped chemicals on my lawn in March without my approval. Insisted I pay for it and then turned me over to a collection agency. One of the worse operations I've ever done business with! read more

SLAMMING WARNING: CUSTOM LAWN CARE'S HIDDEN POLICIES If you receive an offer from Custom Lawn Care, be sure to research their policies on their web site prior to "signing up" in any form. I thought I had purchased a group of lawn services for 2017 based solely upon their unsolicited offer received in the mail. CLS later sent some junk mail offering additional services and cleverly included an after-the-fact notice that implied since you were a customer, they would consider you signed up for continuous service unless you cancelled. I threw away their mailings since I only wanted what I contracted for not continuous service. We moved out of the house in January and they sprayed it in April without my permission. If you don't pay they'll threaten you with a collection agency. read more

Very shitty. They rush through jobs, they do not get rid of the things you ask them too. We still have crab grass & weeds in the yard when they have come through and done their thing. Customer service is horrible too. Never again...never, ever again... read more

Use someone else. Started out OK. Frequent price increases with less than average quality of service. I continue to get bills for service on a house that I no longer own. Talked to biller and owner. They assure me that they will fix this. No action ever taken. I paid the bill just to end our relationship. This company is really not "CUSTOM" or "PERSONALIZED." read more

I have been using their service for a couple years now. My lawn has looked good since then and I have recommended their service to neighbors whose lawns also look great. read more

Allow me to first state that I am an engineer, and had done my own lawn for years. Over the past 5 years, I've tried multiple services and all have been adequate. I've used this company for 1 year and was not happy with the product or application. Their product caused grass to green rapidly, but while neighbors with other services lawns remained green for up to 2 months, my lawn lightened much sooner. Further, application technique regularly caused striping. Upon contacting customer service, they said all the right things, but nothing really improved. I had prepaid in full for 7 total applications last year. Typically, the company calls you toward the end of winter and aligns with you on needed services. Not this company. After I decided to fertilize my own lawn in mid April, I came home to a guy fertilizing my lawn. I explained that no one had called me and I never signed or prepaid for this year. The tech stated this was his fourth customer today that had the same issue. He stated this company regularly does this in order to force customers to stay and just pay. Upon calling the manager and politely explaining that I was never contacted, she stated there is fine print that their company has a continuation policy. She stated although I never signed or verbally committed, that the fine print holds me liable for their service. She said a collection agency would be contacting me if I did not pay. I had asked to meet half way, even though I feel it was their fault and I should not be liable. She would not budge and said I would be contacted soon by a collection agency. I hope folks read this and make a smart decision to choose a reputable company for lawn services. This company treated me poorly throughout! I would have given 0 stars, but this site forced me to at least give a 1 star. . read more

I have used lawn services for years and my lawn has always looked great. Received a call from custom lawn care with a promotion so I thought I would try them for 2018. DO NOT HAVE THIS COMPANY SERVICE YOUR LAWN! 1. My lawn has never looked worse! 2. They don't come to do your lawn when they are suppose to - I had to call them severely times to remind them to service my lawn. 3. They have horrible customer service and are rude. There are dead, bare patches all over my lawn which were never there, I have tons of grab grass which I never had before. Mid way through last year while they were servicing my lawn I noticed mushrooms starting to spout, which again I have never had a problem with. I mentioned to them numerous times this issue and was rudely told it was just a damp area! Then why in all the years have I never had this issue? You can research this online and find that mushrooms are spread from one lawn to another! After complaining They had the nerve to call me to get my business again this Now I'm pissed I have to reseed all these dead, bare areas! dig up grab grass and reseed! try to kill the mushrooms and reseed! Stay away from this company! I am all for supporting independent, Michigan based companies but unfortunately this company does not deserve to be in business! read more

Absolutely terrible!... Unable to pay invoices, when you call they are closed during the time they state on their recording that they are open... Then will charge you late fees. DO NOT USE read more

Not pleased with my customer service. I was a prepaid customer but kept getting bills. They even continued my service after I stopped paying. read more

I cancelled this service in 2016; very unsatisfied with their service. My spouse order a single service for 2017 last year, not to renew for continuing services throughout the year or 2018. I reminded my spouse not to use them. No other service was ordered yet they came out this year and sprayed our lawn and left a bill. I called to discuss situation and was told it's recurring services and you must call to cancel. What kind of scam is this???? I first need to enter into a contract in order to have something to cancel! Our dog was just diagnosed with cancer and the last thing we need is chemicals on our lawn. They did not care and stated they don't use chemicals. WHAT??? I would never recommend using a company, such as this one, whose policy is to assume a yearly contract based on having a single service completed the year prior. This company doesn't deserve a single star, they deserve to be investigated!!! read more

A big no vote for Custom Lawn Care! Initially, we did not plan to write this negative review. But after finding ourselves extremely frustrated with this company, we felt it was necessary. We originally secured Custom Personalized Lawn Care's services for the summer of 2015. Each time their worker showed up, he flew quickly through our yard, before moving on to the next. Throughout the summer, we endured plenty of weeds, including an abundance of dandelions. We were not happy with this, and so we secured the services of a new weed-control company for the 2016 season. Throughout the fall, winter and spring of 2016, we were inundated with letters from Custom Personalized Lawn Care requesting that we sign up for service again. Because we knew we were not going to use this company again, we simply tossed these letters in the trash. We were, therefore, shocked when we received a bill from Custom Personalized Lawn Care in April 2016 for services they performed. Services we did not want. Apparently, the company automatically renews every client FOREVER unless they specifically call and cancel their service. So in our opinion, the letters requesting us to sign up again were somewhat misleading. In fairness, there is a note on their mailings that mention services continue from season to season. So if you choose to use this company, please be aware of this. But, after 30 years of outsourcing our weed-control/fertilizing, we have never encountered a company that did this. Personally, we think it's a bit sneaky. When we called about the bill, we were informed about their continuing service. We immediately canceled service as of May 3, 2016. And although we were not happy about it, we agreed to pay their bill for the initial treatment (which we never ordered). Our new company came and completed our late spring application, and successfully obliterated the numerous dandelions left by Custom Personalized Lawn Care. On May 9, 2016, a Custom Personalized Lawn Care employee came to our home and completed another application right on top of the application we just had! Not only was our cancellation not effectively communicated, but this particular employee removed the notification sign left by our current company, leaving it lying on the ground. (Probably plowed over it!) And naturally, they sent us another bill. We will not be paying this one! Custom Lawn Care's weed control and fertilizing services were ineffective. When we initially called to cancel service, their customer service representative was rude and argumentative. The customer service representative also claimed that if we weren't happy with the service, we could have called them to come back out. Nowhere on any of their paperwork that we received is this option written. Bottom line, we do NOT recommend Custom Personalized Lawn Care! read more

Had custom Lawn care last summer 2017 . Had a few issues that where not resolved. I did not get them this year because we are doing some home improvements and tearing up some lawn. My neighbor hired them because I spoke good about them, happy or not I'm not going to ruin someone's business. Just wonder if I'll receive my 25.00 referral or will I have to hire them again to receive?? read more

Very poor service. Often late. Had to call three times to get service we had requested. Did not show up this spring so we contacted another company to do our lawn because we thought they weren't coming. They then showed up and treated our lawn two days after we had already had it treated and demanded we pay for service we did not need or want. Talked to a very rude women in their office and told her to cancel our service. Now they are harassing us to pay for service we did not need or want. Do not us this company! read more

I would not recommend anyone use this company. We cancelled our service because it was not controlling the weeds. They came back after we had cancelled and sprayed our lawn and tried to bill us saying there was no record of our cancellation. Customer service staff were extremely rude. I asked that the owner call back to resolve the issue but it has been over a month and I have not received a call. I have also emailed with no response yet they keep sending bills. read more
