These guys did a great job helping me clean up my yard and mulch. They responded very quickly, showed up when they said they would, and were really easy to work with. I would definitely hire again. (They also do snow clearing, which I didn't hire for, but definitely plan to in the future)

It went very well. They were very timely, friendly and picked up after themselves. Planting was done in October, so will wait and see what survives the winter.

I've used this company before- very pleased with the work and there was follow up by Nick after the work was completed, which impressed me! Nick was great to work with and I plan to use his company in the future. Also, when he came out to give me an estimate he helped me with a totally unrelated issue (grill)- it was pretty much the coolest thing ever :)

Hard to pin down a date for the work. What was done was satisfactory. Did not do the reseeding - said he felt bad about and if he had time would do it. He never did. He offered to reseed the following year and I should call him. He should have called me.

Jeff was timely, informative and responsive. When asked I asked at the last minute if the project could be moved up, he and his crew delivered. I was thrilled! I appreciated Jeff's professionalism and expertise and know I will call him again.

Nick and his company were hired to finish the last step of a 4 year landscape redesign for a condominium building in Ramsey Hill, St. Paul. ( I found Lawn by the Yard through Angie's List and the board of directors evaluated about a dozen Angie's List reviews for local landscape companies.)    Nick and his staff were responsive to questions by e-mail or phone calls from our management company, and very good in responding to concerns raised by the board of directors.  Our management company, the board of directors (of which I am a member) and our homeowners (30) were impressed by Nick's work.  Though much of the design was by a board member, Nick and his crew had an icky job of removing  many unsightly weeds and shrubs, not to mention the disposal of a ton (maybe two) of landscaping stones that were 26 years old. (No kidding folks, I learned there seems to be nothing too large or too complicated for the workers at Lawn by the Yard).  Board members especially liked Nick's honest manner -- no time was wasted and his bid was extremely reasonable given the three companies interviewed.  The cedar mulch that was designated to replace the stones was on backorder, and Nick kept all parties informed of arrival and installation.  I was especially nervous with the splitting of many large hostas, but Nick was very reassuring and the plants have done well in their new home.  The board was so impressed with the work that we've hired Lawn by the Yard for monthly maintenance of fertilizing and weed control to the property.  Nick (and your staff) -- well done, and thank you.  It was a pleasure to work with you, and the condo association looks forward to a long relationship with the services of Lawn by the Yard.

Nick came out gave me a quote and a ton of ideas on how to fix the trainwreck of a yard. He actually saved me a boatload of money cause he talked me out of removing many trees and gave the clean slate of a yard I wanted. I plan on hiring him again in the future for ideas, tips, and other services. The guys that came out did a great job, were polite and even though we had weather they didn't mess around in completing the job as quickly as possible.

Highly recommend!!!!

Our yard had a larger hill with some railroad ties creating planter boxes. Originally we were going to have them removed but then I decided to take them out and put them in a pile at the back of the yard. Paul and the guy he brought along were able to remove a section of our new fence, get a large piece of equipment in and remove the remaining timbers. They then graded the entire yard and mulched up all sorts of old  material and made everything level and then they laid the sod down. The sod was fresh and green and looked great the second they laid it down!
From the beginning, Paul mentioned that our project was a small one and could be completed easily in one day. After having seen what our yard was capable of growing after the heavy spring rains we had, I was skeptical.Turns out 5 hours was all they needed! It rained most of the morning which made everything very muddy and sloppy. They made sure to stay after the job was done to clean everything. Our driveway looked great when they were finished cleaning up. Even the neighbors were impressed with how clean they were!
We can't say enough about the work they did. It made us love our house that much more knowing that we have a lush green yard for our pets and future children to enjoy. We've had several neighbors stop by and comment on the work they did and they are all impressed that they were able to turn what the yard was into what it is now.
In addition, since I removed some of the timbers and was able to pull the rest out and place them in a pile, Paul gave me a great discount on labor. I would use this company again for any landscaping work in the future!

We are VERY pleased with the landscaping that Nick and and his crew from Lawn by the Yard did. It looks beautiful!  He and the crew completed all tasks that were covered in our proposal. We felt that his cost was very reasonable for the tasks completed. This was a labor-intensive job to do! Nick was quick to contact us and came out within a day or two to look over the job and propose a bid. As soon as underground lines were marked, his team was immediately at our home. After each day of work, his crew cleaned up after themselves. The project was completed in a timely fashion.  We are so pleased to have him as our go-to person for landscaping projects!  We give Nick and Lawn by the Yard our highest recommendation!

Nick was very punctual in responding to my call for an estimate, not only did he arrive at my property on the same day but he was also very honest in the services I was requesting.  He was very fair about the prices for the services I requested.  I did not end up going with his company because my family and I decided to do the work ourselves, however I would not hesitate to give him a call for any future projects.  Thank you Nick!

They came a week earlier than we expected and we were very pleased with the work.  They are very hard-working, and we highly recommend their services.
