As a professional landscape company that supported Art's for 35 years, we unfortunately have to…read morewarn others about the changes under the new ownership (post-2023/2025). Recent experiences have consistently involved poor customer service, billing errors, and significant delays in service. The main concern we wish to highlight is pricing transparency and fairness. We were quoted over $700 each to repair the mowers; upon taking them elsewhere, the total cost for the same repairs was a mere $125.00 for 1 mower and $225.00 for the other. (We did not tell the new shop we had taken them elsewhere first.) While we hope this was a simple miscalculation, the significant price discrepancy suggests a potential issue with their current estimation process or pricing fairness. The problem is not with the mechanics who are the best. Prospective customers should be cautious and perhaps seek multiple quotes before committing to repairs here, as current pricing seems questionable compared to industry standards.

The lady that is now in charge has terrible customer service skills. If you're not knowledgeable…read moreabout what you're buying, she will sell you the wrong items to make a sale. I came in to purchase a Stihl FS-Km Line Attachment and it was recommended to replace the drive shaft to my Stihl KombiMotor. She spent some time looking for the attachment and was getting flustered. She found it, brought it out and tried to sell me the line attachment still packaged and unassembled. I asked if i could have it assembled, so that I could test it out and make sure it works. She didn't say anything, grabbed the package and went to the back. When she returned she said the mechanic would bring it out in 10 minutes. Attachment came out and it worked properly. Paid, but no receipt was given. While I was there, it was recommended that I replace my drive shaft to the Stihl KombiMotor. She looked up the part, brought a drive shaft out and charged me $40 for it; I paid and no receipt given. The package the drive shaft came in was open. I asked if I could make sure it fits. She said do whatever you want. I instantly noticed that it was curved, I mentioned that to her and she explained that is how it came as I could see it was still packaged. The mechanic came out to the lobby at that time and offered to help. He then mentioned that the drive shaft was too long and that there was no way it would work because it was curved. The mechanic tried to help out and looked up the part number and noticed it was the wrong drive shaft. He explained it would have to be ordered. I asked if I could be refunded for the drive shaft I had already paid for and she tried to say that I hadn't paid yet. I told her I had already given her $40 for the drive shaft and she gave me the wrong part. She refused to give me my money back until her assistant reminded her that I had paid. I asked if I could get a receipt for the line attachment and she asked the assistant to write it out for me. I had paid $150 for it, the receipt total amounted to $143.57. I asked if I could get my change since i had paid $150. I was give an attitude. Unfortunately, this is my local lawn mower shop, but will try to avoid this location as much as I can.

A year ago we moved into our home, and from day one, my biggest goal was to completely transform…read moreour backyard by replacing the grass with turf. We met with four different companies and received quotes from each, but we either weren't confident in their work or just didn't feel they were the right fit until we met with JG Lawns. Craig came out to provide a free estimate and was brutally honest LOL. He never tried to oversell us or promise things that weren't realistic.  His personality and knowledge earned our trust, and combined with fair pricing, made our final decision to move forward with this company. Our project was originally expected to take about a week, but due to issues with choosing pavements and the paving company shipping the wrong materials, it ended up taking about a month. Even with the unexpected delay, Eric and Jesus (his dad) were fantastic throughout the entire process. They kept us updated every step of the way, explained any changes, and always made sure we were comfortable with the plan before moving forward. Their crew worked incredibly hard every single day. They treated our home with respect, paid attention to every detail, and always cleaned up before leaving for the day. Their pride in their work definitely shows in the finished product. We couldn't be happier with how our backyard turned out. It exceeded our expectations and has completely transformed our outdoor space. We would definitely recommend this company to anybody seeking turf and redo their yard. We are so glad we chose them.

The house has been maintained by my regular gardener but he is retiring. I need a regular recurring service.

Please let me know if you'd like to proceed with scheduling the services by providing your full name, email address, and service address. I will send over a proposal for your review and signature.

She received a quote and sent me the phone # to schedule since she was busy at work. I reached out, sent photos, and awaited a response. The person I was texting asked if we were looking for reoccurring service or the one time weed removal when I replied requesting just one time service I didn't hear back. I texted again requesting an estimate, no response. Texted again the next day on Wednesday and they finally requested my information. I sent my info, received an email to sign an estimate agreement and after signing and sending it right back I received no response. I texted back that we would be going with a different service who was able to schedule us in. I'm usually really patient but the lack of communication is what bothered me. They were quick to reach back out after sending initial photos but after I opted for a one time service instead of reoccurring services is when I stopped hearing back so quickly. No shade at all if a business doesn't want to offer their services or prefers bigger projects but I would have appreciated better transparency and communication. I'm sure others have had more positive experiences but for me personally I wouldn't recommend this business. I believe in treating every customer with the same respect and willingness to communicate regardless of project size.
