John and his crew was are efficient and professional. Still waiting to get a couple of patches to get green and plush. John assures us that he will address and replace patches if after a few cut it has not improved. The grass and stone step are both beautiful and have received compliments from neighbors. I would highly recommend the company for lawn and stone work.

They go out of their way to do right by the customer. They really helped improve the quality of appearance of my home after being left to deal with a dead yard by my contractors.

John and his team did a great job with my front lawn. He came by and provide and assessment of what was need to improve the lawn. The crew came in trimmed the trees, tilled the ground add top soil and sod. They were very respectfully and explained everything I need to know about after cares. the results were amazing and I would highly recommend John and his team.

I would highly recommend John and his team. They did a fantastic job on a large sod project for us. They are honest, knowledgeable and take tremendous pride in their work. Even after the project is complete, John has still followed up and answered my questions. I am really glad that we decided to use them.

We engaged John a couple weeks before the winter storm to lay down sod and trim trees sometime scheduled mid Februrary. He was very proactive in communication about expectations from the sod farms concerning the quality of the grass and when cutting would resume. He checked availability in case a good crop would become available. In mid April he gave me a call to install a good cut that day. Installation was gorgeous and my neighbors have commented how well it was done and clean. He gave us very clear instructions on how to maintenence the yard and is still answering questions after the job is complete. He has a lot of practical and solid advice. He follows up 2 weeks and again 2 months after installation. 10/10 we'll work with him again

John Howarth was a dream to work with!! He is very professional, knowledgeable, punctual and personable. His communication and follow up is second to none! In all phases of this project he was in constant communication with me. His crew is very efficient. Once the sod was laid he gave me watering instructions and came back out 2 weeks later to check on the progress of the new grass. He will be back to work with me in the spring to ensure the new lawn is off to a good start. He guarantees his work! If you need to have sod laid at your home look no further than John Howarth and Dependable Lawn Care! You won't be sorry!!

Our job was a complete backyard re-sod. John was very open and honest with communication before, during, and after the job. They were quick and efficient. Two inches of dirt plus 6 pallets of sod put down in a day. Have already recommended John and his crew to our neighbors.

My guys are still talking about that air-conditioned guest bathroom by your pool! I also enjoyed talking to you and learning from your business acumen. I look forward to future work with you."

John is by far one of the best salesmen I have met. The man knows his stuff when it comes to selling. I was promised a great lawn satisfaction guaranteed. I am not a satisfied customer. The project was delayed for a number of excuses... but I remained calm since John assured me that everything would be great. John failed to tell me all the things that I would have to pay for after the work was completed. I understand that maintenance is a must when it comes to anything. But 250 dollars here, 200 dollars there starts adding up. My lawn is very uneven. Big rocks have surfaced after some time, a ton of weeds have resurfaced after he assured me that what they did not scrape away, would not be a problem. I texted John anytime I saw things of concern. His reply was always, Do not worry about that... It will come together. My lawn definitely looks better than it did.... it is green. From far, it looks amazing. Just do not look at it up close or walk on it cause you might sprain your ankle on the uneven ground. I get upset every time I have mowed my lawn because my lawnmower is all over the place. A bunch of weeds throughout my property and uneven ground is what I ended up paying for. I honestly do not think his price was high by all means when he quoted the work. But... now I see that I got what I paid for. His crew sat on my porch longer than the time they spent working. He had the audacity to say, we scraped what we could!. I had even started to scrape what they could not and decided to ask him about all the stuff they missed. Do not worry about that. It will be fine. It will come together... you will see. Premium grade sod was what was installed on my property. Yeah right. I had another company come out and they mentioned that he did decent work. When asked how much I paid, the look on their face said it all. That company has taken over to try to make my lawn weed-free... but they are not having much luck. The damage is done. I trusted this man to take care of business and ended up extremely disappointed. Include aftercare in your price John. Do not force customers to have to pay extra after they wave goodbye. It is not a finished product if you have to pay extra to get it looking great after you have finished. End of rant... continue with life.
Response from Dependable Lawn Care
"This is an unfair review with many false statements made by a micromanager who found pleasure in complaining about everything. You were never charged a penny over what was clearly priced on the initial contract. Please produce a single check or credit card receipt for extra charges. You cannot. Because that is a false statement. The truth is that we were asked to do so much more than we were contracted to do-which we did and yet you were never satisfied. I usually do not answer on a public forum but had to since you choose to blatantly lie about our services. Brought on because I finally said -"no more freebies". Read our 65 five star review."
