Excel Lawns and Landscapes has taken great care of my lawn! In addition, I contacted Mike after our last snowfall when I had over a foot of drifted, heavy snow covering my driveway and sidewalk. He came out after 9 pm on a Sunday, after plowing non-stop for 3 days and tucking his kids in bed, to get me dug out so I could make it to work on Monday. I cannot say enough good things about Excel. Thank you!

We have had an outstanding experience with Excel Lawn & Landscape! Within 48 hours of calling, Mike was at our home helping us with a fungus that had invaded our yard. Less than a week later, the yard is showing significant improvement. Mike is very responsive to questions and knowledgeable. I love that he is willing to work with us on actions we can take to coordinate our efforts with his. He chose a very reasonable course of action for our lawn issues and the price is very fair. We plan to also use Excel for aeration and seeding this fall.

Thank you to Excel Lawns and Landscape. The recent ice storm had the sidewalks and driveway a sheet of ice. They came out twice to treat the areas. I was impressed with not only the work they performed but also that I did not have to call them to remind them about my property. Rarely do I encounter from others the great service Excel Lawns & Landscape provided. I am thrilled I hired them.
