Let me begin by saying we were very happy with the work we had done by Lawn Butler. Our house was…read morebuilt 30 years ago and the landscaping was minimum minimal as we were just about broke when we finished three years later, the house flooded due to poorly executed placement on the property ad drainage. A drainage pond was installed in front as a stop gap measure. A lot of dirt from the front was hauled around the back and basically dumped we always intended to do something but we didn't know exactly what. Fast forward 30 years. I met an old friend Patrick Johnson who had done some landscaping for us years ago.Patrick told me he was working for a company he really liked. We had pretty well given the job to someone else, but Patrick came over and showed us their capabilities and we were impressed. We then met with brian their landscape architect and he proposed a hardscape backyard with a wall of stacked boulders. I couldn't quite understand what he meant, but he showed some pictures that looked encouraging. The result was far beyond our expectations. They offered a detailed proposal and design that we liked. They came in on budget in exactly the amount of time they said it would take to do it. They were here every day on time. They were very accommodating to us - polite and careful working around our cars and our property. You can see from the pictures of the back that the mini Stonehenge as we call it is quite impressive and far behind what we expected. The pond in front was poorly constructed, too small and too shallow. Since the equipment was there, we asked for a proposal to clean out and reline the lower pond. It proved to be more complicated but Brian figured it out. Theybegan working on that project as they were finishing up the backyard "Henge." Once again the project exceeded our expectations and came in slightly under budget and on time I can't recommend these guys highly enough they brought the equipment some very skilled operators people who worked very hard and were trustworthy and friendly. Please feel free to contact me if you would like further recommendations. We love these guys. Bob Sutton

I wait almost 2 months for the work to start which is a 1 day job. Simple stuff - hillside…read moreplanting and mulch and spreading topsoil overexisting grass and field to flatten/even it out. They send a crew with 1 guy who consistently works on the hillside planting and mulch. Mind you, they measured the areas, took pictures of what needed to be done and still didn't have the right materials. They dump truckloads of GRAVEL mixed into what was ordered to be high quality TOPSOIL onto my land and spread it everywhere. This company did a bait and switch on the instructions to bring high quality topsoil and instead dumped truckloads of dirt filled with gravel. I send videos and pictures of what they left me. They scheduled and Canceled the 'fix' 3 times at the last minute. Ken uses excuses that they can't find any crews .... so a paying customer who has been duped into hiring you under the assurance that you can handle the job is supposed to feel bad for you at this point??? Then 3 weeks later send a 2 man crew to clean up the mess that this company created. This cleanup crew starts their 'fix it' day by pulling up and having a 1 hour lunch upon arrival at 1pm in the afternoon. Then they sit down in the yard, hand picking gravel.  I have to instruct them to use rakes and shovels because there is no project manager. They then packup and say absolutely nothing so that I do not have the opportunity to review the work before they leave essentially getting out before I can inspect it while I'm working inside. They then have the audacity to send multiple revisions on invoices for some kind of machine parts (not applicable to this project) and extra work days !!   Are you kidding me right now?? It appears they are charging me for maintenance costs to their broken down truck (another failure to show up and the customer is being charged for truck maintenance??) WTH !!! This ordeal has been a nightmare because my property only needed patches filled and topped and otherwise was in great shape. Now I have rocky pastures and can't mow because it sounds like machine gun fire. (with the exception of mulched hillside). And of course no one is responding except to send more ridiculous invoices that aren't even applicable to this job. This company pulled a bait and switch with materials (charge me for topsoil and deliver dirt you'd get off the side of the road). Then they lied about where they got the dirt from because I called to check if that where they purchased it and IT WASN'T. Then they screw up the job and want to charge an extra work day to the customer to fix the mess they created which still isn't fixed bc their is still gravel and tire tracks. GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME because its illogical to screw up a job and expect to be PAID to fix your mistakes. This is insanity and I even left out some additional details to save space!! Maybe they can mow a lawn but I wouldn't have them do any landscaping. Sounds to me like Ken is selling something that he cannot endorse or exert quality control over. The only reason they have 2 stars instead of 1 is because he came over 1 day and did some raking and admitted the job was a "debacle" (his word).

Had the owner out in Nov.25 to winterize our system. At the time he handed me the backflow unit…read morewhich he removed. NO mention at that time that it was leaking. If he had, we could have planned for the expensive replacement. VERY more communication by the owner himself. Fast forward to April 26. Start up of the irrigation system. Ten minutes before the tech was to arrive, the office called to inform me that the backflow had a leak per the owners notes. I thought they were mistaken as nothing was ever mentioned. I called the office and was told that the fee, $750.00, was the cost to replace. I requested a discount since I was never told of this 6 months earlier. The office person said the the start up fee is already waived by she would ask the owner if they could decrease the change. Never heard from the office again or the owner. I had the tech preform the service. The next day I received an invoice for 845.00, they changed me the start up cost on top of the replacement, even though I was told it would waived. I disputed, and the following day I received a new invoice for 750.00. It stated that we refused to pay the 95.00 start up fee. Not true, they said it was waived as we were replacing the backflow. Bottom line, VERY POOR COMMUNICATION on part of the owner. The office person is culpable as well as she made a statement that they tried not to honor. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR AN HONEST AND FAIR COMPANY. Many out there, choose wisely. THIS IS NOT ONE.

FRAUDULENT BUSINESS PRACTICES - Zero Accountability…read more This would be a zero star rating if possible. This company is a textbook example of why you should never pay for service upfront. We paid in full before they even stepped foot on the property, and it is now clear that was a calculated move to secure our money without any intention of delivering the promised results. In December 2025, after two failed attempts to even show up, they sent a technician to assess a leak in our pool and spa. We were promised a comprehensive report to hand over to our pool company for repairs. When I followed up, I was told it would take "a few days." It is now late March, and after four months of calling, texting, and emailing, I have received nothing but silence. They have either blocked my number or folded as a business--either way, their conduct is unprofessional and unacceptable. Be warned: I have already contacted my credit card company to dispute the charges for services not rendered. Furthermore, I am filing formal complaints with the Better Business Bureau and relevant state consumer protection agencies to ensure other homeowners are not scammed by this outfit. I have every receipt and text message documented to prove this gross negligence. Avoid this company at all costs.
