Testimony tells a tale...
Mowing Around's many customers are its #1 priority.
We are a service company, and therefore the quality and reliability of that service is paramount.
Here are a few comments sent to us by customers who's landscapes have been helped by Mowing Around:
We’re so impressed with all our dealings with Mowing around and the terrific work (and the amazing pace you guys set!) this past weekend!
To start, you use biodiesel and have awesome equipment that enables you to get the job done better, faster. It’s easy to see that you care about what you do – it shows in everything, from your equipment to how to go about the business and your passion for high standards, including client relations. Your team are all positive, knowledgeable and gladly share their expertise.
One of the huge factors that make doing business with your company is that you’re so “on it” - if you say you’ll do something, we know it will happen and it will be done right.
Additionally, you make such efforts to ensure that everyone shares the same understanding of what is going to happen, and then you follow through 110%. We’ve dealt with a number of firms who made promises to come and do the lawns or come up with suggestions for how things could be improved and they enthusiastically say “Yes! Let’s do that!” and then they don’t do it and/or don’t show up – and when they actually do it, they exhibit a lack of care.
Dealing with your team means there is nothing to worry about. There is no wondering what’s going to be done, we trust what you say (and you really do try to save your clients money whenever you can), you love trying to involve clients with their own property (if they are interested) and teaching them handy gardening pointers, and you always do what you promise. So we don’t end up tracking people down, rescheduling, etc.
In short, dealing with Mowing Around is a breeze. We feel very lucky to have found you!

Mowing Around Garden and Landscape Services has provided lawn and garden care for us for the past three years.
We have been very pleased with the reliable service and excellent garden care and advice.
In 2005 when we bought a new home and turned one of our properties into a revenue property, Mowing Around continued to provide quality service. Keeping our rental property neat and tidy, with well tended gardens and trimmed, well cared for shrubs and hedges. When some of the larger trees need the care of an arbourist Colin is quick to refer us to a fully qualified, experienced arbourist.
We receive our bills promptly via email on a monthly basis.
We are pleased to recommend Mowing Around Lawn and Garden Services.

I have never been more impressed with the professionalism, dependability and hard work of a contractor than I have been with Mowing Around.
They listened to me, respected my wishes, gave me ideas of ways to achieve what I wanted and kept me updated regularly as to their progress in completing the work. I recommend Mowing Around to anyone needing a landscaping or irrigation project, whether small or large. They are simply the best in the business, and you will not regret doing business with such a professional organization.

After several years of having gardeners and various lawn service companies work my property, I am elated to have found Mowing Around.
I can't say enough about Colin Eaton and his company. He has worked on my property for the past 5 years and his work exceeds my expectations. His work has always been reliable and consistent. Some of the work that Mowing Around has done on the property has included lawn maintenance, aeration of our lawns, top dressing and reseeding of front and back lawns, organic approach to our weeding needs, transplanting and moving of various plants around the property, laying sand and screenings down for our pool area and help with our drainage issues.
All his work and prices were discussed ahead of time. The work was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. Something that in this day and age is not heard of. I cannot speak more highly of Colin Eaton, his company and crew. His work ethic, sense of fairness and due diligence to his work is something that you find rarely in people and companies in this millennium.
I would highly recommend Mowing Around and Colin Eaton for any project you have on your property.

Colin Eaton has been taking care of our garden for more than five years. We are very pleased with the prompt, appropriate work done to keep the garden and lawn looking great all year long. Colin is attentive to our budget and keeps us informed of anything that needs doing outside the 'standing order'. Invoices are fair and clearly laid out.
We are able to enjoy our garden as a retreat rather than consider it another chore that needs doing in our busy schedules. On the occasion that we do something ourselves, Colin is there to finish it and clean up afterwards!!
Colin, you are indispensable! We are pleased to recommend you to others and have certainly done so to all our friends.

Hi Colin - Mom asked me to tell you "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you - It looks wonderful!" She had the sprinkler folks come a few days ago, so that system is up and running and will insure the lawn stays lush and green.
Mom can't manage stairs anymore, and spends lots of time admiring the yard from her windows. I'd like you to know how much I appreciate the way you dealt with this - good grace is a rarity these days, and I thank you more than I can say.

Colin, Thank you for your excellent presentation last night. I wasn't able to make it in time but I was told several times throughout the evening that your presentation was clear, convincing and succinct! Thanks so much for helping us out.
