As always, a professional job done with courtesy. The original work we discussed and notes of a subsequent request were reviewed. The workers were efficient and very thorough. After the work was done Franco came by to be sure I approved the work. Franco is always responsive to my calls and his prices are very competitive.

We have used Franco for years and have no complaints. They are always prompt and do a fine job. Cost seems reasonable.

I have used this service for two years and I like using them.. They always leave the grass clippings in a bag on the side of my house where I requested.  They have also done a marvelous job with a spring cleaning and trimming.

The very first mowing was exceptional. I have no idea who the first guy was, but he did a great job. I expected that initial mowing as an example of their work. I was fooled. Never saw that guy again and after the weekly crew was finished here it was hard to tell they had been here. More often than not they left deep ruts in my yard, I complained about it and was told someone would come to check it out and repair, but I never heard from anyone or saw anyone. Lawn clippings were to be bagged and left on the curb for pick-up, instead they dumped the debris in my woods. Not acceptable.

We've been very pleased with Franco American.  They've done a great job with the weekly mowing, and leave the bags of yard debris/grass clippings where we've requested.  We used their services in the spring for cleaning up our yard, clearing out old mulch/debris from our plant beds, and putting down fresh mulch.  We also had them remove leafs from our yard in early December.  We'll definitely continue to use their services in the future.

They were great. They’re wonderful to deal with. He was the representative of the company. He was excellent when he came out and gave us an estimate. I had an excellent experience all the way around with them. They are reliable and do a very thorough job. Their price is excellent.

I've been very happy. Done like clockwork, small mowers, different patterns each time, grass looks great, once-per-month billing, clippings bagged.

The service and quality of mowing and trimming is outstanding.  I have a property that has a lot of beautiful beds which need careful edging.  They cut with 21" mowers and the blades are kept sharp which shows by the results.  The edging is first rate.  Everything he promised has happened along with the next day service if the scheduled day is rained out.  Never thought I would be glad that I chose to not cut and trim my own lawn.  I have no trouble recommending Franco.

It's really reasonable. You don't sign a contract. It's mowing to mowing. They use walk-behind 22-inch Toro mowers. It's like you would do your lawn yourself. They also mow higher than anybody I've checked into. They mow at about 3 inches in the summer, which you're supposed to do. We just love them. We're so happy with them. They do other things, too. They do hardscapes, core aeration, and seeding. The only reason we're not hiring them for that is that we would prefer not to have core aeration. We're going to have Super Lawns do that. They're just wonderful. There were a couple of times where I didn't want them to mow on a Thursday because the lawn hadn't grown enough. That was no problem, they didn't come.

We have relied on Franco American Mowing for about ten years.  Franco is very responsive to our needs and his crews do an excellent job.  On occasion, if we have an additional need or something isn't done quite right, Franco gets on top of it and corrects the situation.  Look, I see other neighbors switching lawn mowing services all the time.  We and our two neighbors have been Franco customers for years.  We highly recommend Franco American Mowing!

We have been using Franco-American mowing for several months. A neighbor recommended them, and I got a consultation from the owner while he was in the neighborhood. Very helpful, provided an accurate estimate as well as mentioning other services that they offer without being pushy. His crew shows up consistently on schedule, hasn't caused any damage, and takes extra steps like mowing the lawn in different directions each week so that they don't leave track marks in the grass. 
Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for mowing or other lawn service.
