We had an area in the lawn where the dirt was like rock and he went over and over it until it was aerated I would not hesitate to have him return in the future if we want any other yard work done. correctly. He was on time, worked hard and had a very fair and reasonable price.

They are also responsible for mowing my Mom's lawn. They are new to my Mom's lawn and she is new to having a company do it. Their relationship began last spring; early spring. She has never been so happy and truthfully; the lawn has never looked so good. Again, Chris listened to my mother's concerns and her desires for her lawn and she has no complaints. They come on schedule, do their work, always neat, clean, courteous and professional and it's not an easy lawn to manage. My mom has chickens running all over the yard and there is a goat on the property. The workers are very considerate of the chickens and the goat has gotten used to them ! I would highly recommend them; as a matter of fact I have, and the folks that have used them are equally as pleased.

Scheduling the work to proceed took longer than expected, but as it was late spring, the delays were acceptable. The employees that performed the work were friendly and performed quality work. The major complaints with this landscaper is the follow-through. My wife and I initially watered the lawn via two garden hoses (approx. 1 hour per night) before we paid to have a sprinkler system installed (different contractor). The grass was not growing in well for 80% of the yard, but the weeds were rampant. Several neighbors indicated that they have never seen new grass seed grow in with that density of weeds. A call to the landscaper was of no help either; they indicated that it was our fault for not watering enough. That was the only explanation they could give us (without coming out to look at the yard). We asked that they reseed (the contract said that they would reseed any bare spots), but the soonest that they indicated that they would come out was September (>1 month away). My wife and I took it upon ourselves to re-mediate our lawn ourselves and from our own pocket. We have pulled approximately 500+ lbs. of weeds over the course of 1 month, and have reseeded the lawn using seed we bought at Home Depot. The lawn is finally starting to look acceptable, but with no thanks to Bill's. For the amount we spent on our landscaping, we would have liked to have seen better customer service and support. With how quickly the weeds have taken over our lawn, waiting over a month to reseed would be ludicrous. By the time the reseeding would take place, the lawn would likely be overrun by weeds again. Conclusion: Bill's offers very reasonably priced lawn cuts, but I would avoid them for landscape design work. There are bound to be other landscapers out there that offer better customer service after the work is complete.

Lawn Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in Rahway, NJ
Most things went well but communication wasn't great. That was a problem because we don't stay at the home full time. The lawn suffered as a result and each year it was less and less healthy. I would hire them again if I knew I would be present to monitor things they overlooked or ignored.

We used someone else for years. Lawn didn't seem to be improving, so we switched. I feel the lawn has made solid progress this year. We're pleased, and we'll be using Shannon again next year.

Lawns questions, answered by experts
The grass could be dying because it’s overwatered or underwater. Additional issues include over-mowing the lawn, compacted soil, or a fungal disease in the lawn. In many instances, regular maintenance can keep grass from dying.
Try the tool test first. A screwdriver or a similarly long, thin tool will work best, as spades and shovels are too big. If something still seems off despite the screwdriver smoothly going into the soil, look for other signs that you need aeration, like thinning grass, discolored areas, and puddles forming on your lawn after light rain. This indicates poor drainage because of too many areas being compacted.
There are a few ways to fix your lawn on a budget, including:
Identify the lawn care problem and learn how to seed, fertilize, and aerate your lawn.
Reseed old, damaged lawn with new grass that fares better in your environment.
It’s a good idea to aerate your lawn in the fall or spring when there is plenty of moisture in the soil. If you plan to aerate twice annually, you can do so once in the fall and once in the spring. You don’t want to aerate when your grass is dormant, and you also don’t want to aerate directly after a big rain, as the soil will be too wet for the aeration to be effective.
Aeration can level your lawn if the issue is minor soil compaction, so it can help smooth things out if your yard is bumpy from foot traffic or vehicle traffic. However, it won’t slope your yard. If you have small areas where water seems to pool after precipitation, aeration could help, but larger issues with improperly sloped lawns and problems leading to foundation leaks or structural damage will require more comprehensive solutions.
