Excel Lawns and Landscapes has taken great care of my lawn! In addition, I contacted Mike after our last snowfall when I had over a foot of drifted, heavy snow covering my driveway and sidewalk. He came out after 9 pm on a Sunday, after plowing non-stop for 3 days and tucking his kids in bed, to get me dug out so I could make it to work on Monday. I cannot say enough good things about Excel. Thank you!

I have peace of mind knowing they take care of my yard and plan to have them help with fence and landscape in the future.

Thank you Mike to you and your crew for the outstanding Five Step Lawn Care Treatment, aeration and seeding youve done the past few years. I so appreciate you and your teams kindness, suggestions, professionalism and your reasonable prices to make it all possible. I must say I absolutely Love the weed control granules you put down in all my flower gardens. It is absolutely awesome. A must try for everyone. Thanks again for your outstanding service.

So I should have done this earlier, but struggle with the social media thing. We would like to say a big thank you to Mike and the work crew of Excell lawn and landscape on our front porch retaining wall. They did excellent work, was courteous, prompt in getting the job done and even came out a few months later just to double check the wall during cold weather. Thanks Mike for all you did. I will definitely recommend your sevices.
