Big thanks to Cornelius, who walked into a jungle and left a stately lawn behind. We just moved in and the yard was severely neglected, but after our first mow he has it looking like the cover of a magazine! We really appreciate the care he took, and look forward to continuing our service through Lawnstarter.

As always, you do such a great job! It's so nice to be able to see my lawn look presentable! I was wondering about the other services though. Do you handle the other services like the air rating of the soil? I'm not sure if that's even what it's called lol.
