I have used this company for several years. The employees work hard, show up on the appointed day and get the work done. The prices are very reasonable. I am a senior and want my property to look nice and they do just that. When I have questions or concerns they address them in a timely matter. They are polite and professional.

We have just completed our 2nd year with Mr. Trim and are extremely pleased with the quality of service and friendliness of the the people providing the service. We have a shared lawn and the lawn service has saved our lawn from being taken over by their weeds. Two years ago our lawn was in very poor condition but was brought back to life with their care. Will continue the service in order to keep our lawn in good shape.

So I choose to book Mr. Trim all my lawn cutting, fertilizing and weed control this season as it was too much for me to handle as a single parent. And I couldn't be happier with the service I have received from Jarred and Issy. Both of them have been here week after week taking care of my lawn and it has never looked this good. I would highly recommend this company and team. Everything has been amazing and I haven't had any issues. Thank you for all your service. (Picture is from today's cut )

The team quickly cleaned our larger corner lot and cleared our gardens of all the dead perrenials. Big job that I couldn't take on this year. Some communication problems since I didn't hear back after accepting the estimate and didn't know if and when they were coming to do the work. Very happy with the work they did and would definitely recommend to others.

Mr Trim Lawn left an advertisement on my front door. I happened to be in the market for someone to mow our lawn-timing is everything. I reached out to them and the process was seamless. They come every week on the same day and the lawn has never looked better! Thank you!

Mr. Trim has been cutting my lawn and cleaning my eaves for three years now. They have also done some landscaping of pruning the hedge, planting a garden and spreading mulch. They are extremely affordable and do a great job! Plus, they are very fair and honest. For example, some perennials they planted two summers ago never came back and when I mentioned it Alex was quick to suggest some hostas instead and he planted those ASAP at no cost to me. I remember when I was first shopping around for landscapers I couldnt believe what some were charging! Ill always stick with Mr. Trim :
