I have used Mike Gast Lawn Care for 4 years and am very pleased with the services they provide. The lawn is lush and green. Trees and shrubs around the house are trimmed and look great. Mike's crew have also done irrigation work, mulching, and landscape design for me. The guys work fast, understandably, but are friendly, thorough and always clean up after themselves. I can highly recommend them.

I wish I could give *zero* stars. I signed up for lawn care including trimming in February. Mike told me he would be mowing and trimming every other week until mid-April. What transpired was his men coming to my house for 5 minutes every other week, at most - sometimes not at all - and often not mowing OR trimming. One week, his crew pulled up and I watched from my window as they removed a single tree branch (that had already fallen) and left. Meanwhile weeds in my front yard grew to a length of 9" and bushes/shrubs grew up in my windows and against my house. Throughout this whole experience, I

My healthy lawn developed fungus, and a plethora of diverse weeds under Mike Gast's care. I developed multiple dead spots throughout my lawn as the new sod was under irrigated upon placement because one of his guys changed the timer to only irrigate 20min twice a week because he didn

This company seemed convenient as they were able to take care of pest control, fertilization, and maintaining my lawn. After paying more money than anyone on my street for service I was disappointed to see that my grass looked the worst on our street. After calling the company several times (they did not return my call) I was simply told there was a drought. I've been using them since November and I've seen no results. This week I spoke to the mowing crew who told me that they could tell the fertilization crew wasn't actually coming because of the amount of weeds on my lawn. They said they had

They came to cut my neighbors trees.. in doing so they blew all their saw duty onto my wife's car and my truck. Not I get stuck with cleaning up their mess. Would suggest looking else where if you're looking for a company to do work for you. To them it's all about the numbers and not care what mess they leave behind..
