When it's time for service, the technicians get to work immediately and take great care in cleaning up the work area once the job is completed. They are also ready to answer any questions regarding lawn care or upkeep. In addition, the technicians are always courteous.
Description of Work: MRW Lawns has been servicing our lawn for several years now and we have never been disappointed in their products, service, cost or their professionalism. The owners and technicians are very knowledgeable about lawn care and are very timely in performing any service. We utilize their fertilization and weed control program and have also used their aeration and seeding services. We highly recommend MRW Lawns.

MRW arrived on schedule and performed the service efficiently. This was the last element of our annual lawn service. We have the program to help keep the lawn that they established in tip top shape. The lawn has a great curb appeal and makes that part of the property sales-ready. All of our contacts and experienes have been professional, courteous and friendly. We have been very pleased with MRW.
Description of Work: This most recent service was the fall fertilization. We originally contacted MRW several years ago to completely re-do our front yard,and have continued with annual lawn service.

Thanks to MRW Lawn my lawn is now healthy and looking very good. I started working with MRW Lawn last summer in 2012. I met with Kenny and he explained the lawn plan to recover and improve my lawn. MRW individualize plan made possible for me to understand the process to recover my lawn. MRW has a great team of professionals that were in constant contact with me during the whole process and answered all my questions and concerns. I am very pleased with the results. I will continue using MRW lawn care services for years to come. I would recommend MRW to anybody, they are professionals and will let you know ahead of time what is needed to improve and maintain a healthy lawn.

Overall,it could not have gone better. It took about two years to really get to where we wanted to be but we knew it would, as our 'lawn was in sad shape before MRW became involved. If you follow their recommendations, you cannot go wrong. No negatives, all good! '
Description of Work: We have tried larger nationwide lawn services ovee the past several years but never seemed to get much improvement.o Our area has a lot of clay and poor soil ans erosion. We decided to use MRW, a local company. We were impressed frm day one, in 2010, when we stated using them and are now in our third year with MRW. They are very customer service orientated, easy to reach, return calls, will come out routinley to ensure customer satisfaction. Very throrough and hands on, explain each step of the year-long process/ treatments, and are very reasonably priced compared to other companies we tried. Our lawn has never looked better thanks to MRW. Punctual, friendly and thorough. We recommend their company very highly. - Bo &Jean Boucher, White Plains, MD

Wonderful. I've have been using them for twenty years. I have used them in my other house and here. I have been in the hospital whole of last year. They sent me a 32 inch high, I can't even tell you how wide, flowers. They were so beautiful. They're so nice. There's a lot of mowing. They do all the services. They come down 7 times. They walk through your yard, nail work for weeds. They figure out what it is and then put down an application. They do 7 of those and then I paid. They did this in the beginning of September and I have a magnificent yard. I did my other home too. They come over for 7 times a year. And, when you call when you're worried about something, they come out and look. I haven't found the site application offer that is included in that. I have a luscious yard. They were out this month. They put some applications down. Spring application. When you walk through the lawn, it's like cushion. They know what they're doing. They know up to date what kind of feeds, what kind of fertilizers
Description of Work: They spray your yard.

The service is A1; I'm satisfied. Other people may have less or more treatments depending on the state of their lawn. They come out & survey the lawn to determine the best course of treatment & then make a recommendation based on that information. They've been great for me. The technicians I get that service my lawn are pretty good. If you have any issues, just call. They're very good about trying to satisfy you.
Description of Work: I've been using them since 1997, since I had my home built. I use them for 7 lawn treatments a year. I just have to put my grass seed & cut the grass & they do everything else! This last treatment was for the spring treatment.

We have used MRW Lawns for at least 15 years now, and our lawn has gone from islands of grass in a sea of weeds to one of the nicest lawns in the neightborhood. They initially treated just our front yard, but we had them re-plant grass in our our back yard about 10 years ago. They are not the cheapest service; this years cost was 677.74 (after pre-payment discount) for six treatments on our 18K sqft property. They always call the day before service to make sure we have our dogs out of the way. On the few occasions I've called for a problem (weeds, etc) they respond promptly.

I have used MRW in the past and was very disappointed in the amount of service for the price as well as always trying to add services outside of the contract. When MRW did a mailing targeting former customers, I called them back, explaining my previous concerns and explaining that I wanted a complete estimate of the costs to repair my lawn. I also made it very clear that, pending their evaluation of my lawn, I would not accept additional services, nor wished to solicited for such services. The salesperson agreed and wrote out a contract detailing the work that needed to be done. The first service was scheduled to start in about a week, but workers didn't show up until about a month afterward. Just as before, I received a note from the company that an additional service, outside of my contract, was necessary. I blew a gasket. This is exactly what I objected to the last time I hired MRW. I found out later from one of their other sales persons, that they get a commission for every additional service that they "sell" to the customer. Not acceptable! After almost a year, and after MRW completed the recommended service in my contract, my lawn shows no change whatsoever. I would not recommend this company. They are way overpriced and unprofessional.

Response from MRW Lawns Inc
On April 15th 2011 we visited with this client per his request to help with his lawn for the 2011 season. It had been over 9 years since we last serviced the property. We found the lawn to be in terrible condition; mostly dead crabgrass, weeds, mixed grasses, low spots, as well as Bermuda grass. Before we make recommendation for additional services (i.e. lime) we always recommend a soil test. A soil test is sort of a health report for the lawn. Just like any good Doctor would do, running some tests before administering medicine is always a best practice. So, on that day, we took numerous soil samples and sent them out for testing. The results came back just as bad as the lawn looked. The pH was 4.8 and the organic matter content was 0.9 %. Ideally, we want a pH of 6.5 and an organic matter content of 2-3%. On April 20th, just 5 days after the client asked us to meet with him, we applied his first weed and feed treatment. Between that time and June we did a couple more weed and feed applications. On June 21st we scheduled a second visit with him to discuss the soil test results. We were also to have recommendations for addressing the soil deficiencies, Bermuda grass, and seeding of the lawn. On June 22nd, we met with him and made several recommendations. The first recommendation was to apply a total of 394 pounds of lime to correct the pH level in the soil. If we were to do this service for him, it would take place over the next two applications. The second recommendation was to treat the Bermuda grass with Round-Up® at the end of the summer, just before seeding, to kill it off. The third recommendation was to apply 6 cubic yards of Leafgro® organic compost in the fall to raise the organic matter content of the soil. The fourth recommendation was to aerate, slice and heavily seed the lawn in the fall to fill the lawn in with desirable grass. With these recommendations we also set expectations. Since the lawn was in such terrible shape, it will take a couple years to turn it around. The client instructed us to go ahead and apply the lime for him and to call him back in late July/early August to set a third meeting to discuss organic compost, Bermuda grass and fall seeding. On August 4th we called and left a message for the client to call us back and schedule the third meeting he had requested. Since we did not hear back from him, we called again on August 8th. On August 9th we made a final attempt to contact him and left yet another messages for him to call us back to schedule a good day and time to get together. He never called us back. On August 2nd we mailed him a letter outlining the recommendations we had made and a cost if he were to choose to have us complete these services for him. We also included some discounts as an incentive. No reply to this letter was made. Between August 15th and November 30th we applied the 2 lime applications he requested as well performed his regular scheduled weed & feed applications. On December 1st 2011 the client called in and spoke to the Branch Manager and told him he was not able to do all the seeding stuff that his lawn needed and wanted to cancel service. He also told him that he may want to do something later on next fall. This was the last correspondence we have had. I sincerely believe we had a good plan that could have vastly improved his lawn. And as a special note, our Service Consultants are not paid commission, they are salary. It is their job to consult the customer on services the customer can do themselves or we can do for them, to improve their lawns. Unfortunately, the client never gave us a chance to show him what we could do or took our advice on the seeding and compost recommendations. He at least should be forthwith when letting folks know exactly how things transpired.

They are very reliable and I am very happy with them. I like everything about them. The qualities that I like about them are reliability, fair pricing and service. The price is based on the size of the property. I pay yearly. I will get another bill in April. I have had them for many years. They are easily accessible, you always get to speak to someone and they are prompt in replying to questions. In terms of price, I went over to MRW Inc. on recommendation of a friend and I never tried any other comparison since than. They are far cheaper than the other provider. I would use their services in the future as I have a yearly contract with them.
Description of Work: I used the services of MRW Lawns Inc. I use them yearly. I have a yearly contract with them. They come several times a year. They do it four times a year. I have the yearly program like most companies have like fertilization and weed prevention; it is a whole package.

I like the fact that they always call ahead the day before and gives us a heads up that they will be coming out. When they come out they are very professional. They are always leaving the lawn and driveway in a very clean condition. They come out once a year to evaluate our lawn and give recommendations as to what I might look at doing in the future which is very nice. The lawn is still at this point in January 2012, the greenest one in our neighborhood.
Description of Work: MRW Lawns most recently put down some fertilizer and over the course of time they have done soil examinations, pest control spraying, and about six times a year they come out and take care of our lawn in some form or another. We have been using MRW Lawns for about three years.

The company took payment in advance. Was not able to set a specific date for service, given the nature of the service is weather dependent. Several weeks after check was cashed, service had still not been performed. Called the company to inquire, but had difficult time with customer service. The person answering the phone was not able to respond to my inquiry, and the person they said could respond was not available for several days. Finally made contact on day 3 of calling. The service was performed two days later. BIGGEST PROBLEM: Service was performed with wrong product. They sprayed the trees with TalStar, rather than CrossCheck. So, the infestation continued to worsen. Ultimately needed to remove several trees from the wind break, including 3 that had not previously been damaged.
Description of Work: Company was contracted to perform tree spraying for severe bagworm infestation of 40'+ cypress trees boardering 3 acre property (approximately 24 trees).
