I have to say that excel has been doing an extremely good job at keeping my lawn looking good. As much as I enjoy mowing my own yard, I will definitely keep using them and enjoying the time I get not having to mow. I highly recommend giving excel a chance at making your lawn look fantastic. I will also enjoy not having to shovel this winter as I will let excel take care of that for me as well. Keep up the good work

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!

The team at Excel Lawn and Landscape performs lawn mowing and weed control currently. I have peace of mind knowing they take care of my yard and plan to have them help with fence and landscape in the future. Thank you for helping me gain control of the creeping Charlie in my yard and restore my yards curb appeal! Services Lawn mowing and maintenance, Weed control

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.

So I should have done this earlier, but struggle with the social media thing. We would like to say a big thank you to Mike and the work crew of Excell lawn and landscape on our front porch retaining wall. They did excellent work, was courteous, prompt in getting the job done and even came out a few months later just to double check the wall during cold weather. Thanks Mike for all you did. I will definitely recommend your sevices.
