We prioritize plant health and efficient practices that result in an unequaled aesthetics of your lawn and grounds.

They have done a very good job. They have been doing service for us for at least a couple of years. They are a major company and they specialize in yard work. They are responsive. They are competitively priced. I could probably get other people cheaper.
Description of Work: They do mowing, weeding and they did a general cleanup. They clean up the leaves and gutters. They do additional work when I need yard maintenance done.

Sadly I used this vendor for several years, then they suddenly cancelled my service with almost NO warning at all. I enjoyed their services in the past and I appreciatted what they were able to do to work with me however cancelling service to my area because " it is too far away" is a pathetic excuse.

Response from Paul's Best Lawn Service Inc
Mr (member name removed), thanks for your review. Unfortunately it was not an easy decision to discontinue service in some of the areas we had done business in for quite some time however it was ultimately the decision we had to make after evaluating our year. We informed our customers after the season was over and we had completed the services we were under contract for. We did not drop you or anyone as a customer during the season. While I respect your opinion I am curious to know if your F rating was due to an actual lack of professionalism with the regard to the service you received or the quality of work that was done. Or was the F rating a reflection of your personal frustration in the inability to continue to use our service? I do not expect you or any of our customers to understand the inner working of our company however it is nor has it ever been our intent to leave a poor impression on anyone. We are committed to serving all our customers with exceptional workmanship and customer service. While I regret that we are currently unable to service the area in Fairfax you reside in, I assure you that it was not a personal decision on our part. Regards, James Lo Monaco President Paul's Best Lawn Service, Inc

Paul's team of lawn care specialists are always professional and thorough in their jobs. They pay attention to detail and they treat my lawn as if it's their own. I appreciate them consistently going above and beyond to make the yard look nice. For example, some of the ivy from my neighbors was growing through the fence, and one of the lawn care guys took the time to cut back each piece of ivy individually and ensure the fence line looked clean. This is just one example of where I've seen them going above and beyond to take care of my yard.
Description of Work: Overseeded and aerated my yard, as well as laid down fertilizer to promote new grass growth. Additionally, they have been provided lawn mowing and yard cleanup services for me for the past 2 years, and I have had a very positive experience with them.

Have been using Paul's lawn service for over a year now and have had wonderful service. My initial request for information was followed-up very quickly and received a detailed estimate within a couple of days. Have them come weekly for regular lawn care and seasonally for clean-ups, mulching, beds, pruning, etc. Work is always done in a timely fashion and results always look great.
Description of Work: Weekly lawn service and also use Paul's for seasonal lawn clean-up, mulching, bed care.

It could not have gone better. I got the quote on a Wednesday and they were able to do the work on Monday. The team was amazing. They even mulched more than I thought. My usual landscaper was too busy and couldn't get his quote in on time for a quick turn and the Realtor's suggested company was over $500 more expensive for not as much work. I have found my new landscaper. The yard looks amazing and we have no reclaimed the patio, which was overrun by grass and weeds.
Description of Work: This was an extreme version of the General clean up. Weeded, edged and mulched all the beds around the house, removed all the weeds, grass and junkers from our overgrown patio, trimmed azalea bushes and rose bushes.

Excellent responsiveness: I requested a quote on Monday, got it back on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the lawn was mowed! Excellent work: the lawn looks great with edges trimmed and the driveway blown down. Their billing is great - I get a statement monthly by email and was even able to set up an automatic payment. They're not the cheapest service around, but I've tried some of the cheaper services and was not particularly pleased. I'll pay a few dollars extra for this kind of service!

Three man team works simultaneously to mow the lawn, use the string trimmer to edge and cut down grass between bushes and flower beds, and blow clean the hard surfaces on the walkways, the driveway and the rear patio and deck. The property is perfectly groomed when they leave - not a random twig on the lawn or blade or grass out of place. The crew picks up fallen branches and random debris and places it in empty mulch bags, tied neatly and left at the curb. All of this is done without extra direction from us. There is always one member of the team who speaks English, in case additional instructions have to be given. For example, we cut down a stand of bamboo and asked the men to use the string trimmer to cut new growth in this area every week. They did it all summer. One week they arrived the day after very heavy rains. I called the office and asked if it was a good idea to mow as the grown was very soggy. They OK'd a delay. I asked the crew leader if they would stop working and come the following week - no problem. The work was done as scheduled the following week. Paul's crew comes twice a year to clean the gutters. Several times we've asked for an extra cleaning in December to get rid of the final debris from the large trees surrounding the house. They always respond quickly to these requests. In the fall a crew comes frequently to remove leaves from the lawn and at the end of the season, do a final cleanup . The crew is very well trained and never leaves a drop of debris anywhere. They are amazingly meticulous and very polite. Paul's employees are uniformly helpful and polite. They respond quickly to our requests for service. We've used them for more than 15 years, at three different properties in Arlington, and will continue to do so.
Description of Work: Lawn mowing, edging, using leaf blower to clean hard surfaces (driveway, walk, deck). We have not made use of their lawn treatment or snow removal services.

The professional manner of the proposal was greatly appreciated and the landscaping looks terrific. Paul's Best did much more than I anticipated and I plan to use them again in the future!

It went well. They are very busy. They do a nice job but are a big company with lots of customers - each team only can do what they do - the lawn guys cut. the weeders weed. Don't ask one to do the other! Must call a few weeks ahead if you need something extra done around yard.

Paul's best met with us twice to design a landscape plan for our property. They also came out to the house several times to sketch and plan when we were not home. The design is gorgeous. We are very happy with it. They offered to make any changes that we would like but we haven't gone down that road yet. Unfortunately because of several other expensive home maintenance projects that became urgent we had to put off the actual landscape work, but we plan to speak with Paul's Best about that in the future.

Thank you for your feedback about our company. We appreciate all of the business our customers provide us, but unfortunately this past year we had to shrink the size of our service area and cut off certain parts of Fairfax County where travel time between clients proved to not be cost effective for the company as a whole. It was a difficult but necessary decision, as we do care about each of our clients. Thank you for your past business with our company and we wish you the best. Sincerely, Tim Lo Monaco Vice President Paul's Best Lawn Service, Inc.

They always promptly follow up on my requests, charge reasonable rates, and meet with me on the morning that the work is going to be done. Their management stops by during the job and after to check out the quality of the work. The employees are hard working and careful to do an excellent job each time.
Description of Work: Paul's Best Lawn Service does so much more than its name implies. They have done landscaping, grading, wall building, paver laying, and stone work on my property for the last ten years or so, in addition to performing typical lawn mowing and gutter services.
