What do customers say?

Strong start and real results earn five-star praise, but recent reviews paint a pattern: Smiling Lawn collects full upfront payment, then goes silent. Customers report incomplete aeration and edging, grass planted incorrectly, and snow removal that stopped mid-season. Disputes over scope, ignored calls, and refunds withheld unless negative reviews are deleted. A handful of satisfied customers credit staff like Muhammad and Waqas, but the last two months show escalating complaints about responsiveness and follow-through after payment.

Praised for
  • quick and efficient execution
  • responsive early in relationship
  • effective lawn results
  • knowledgeable staff
  • reliable service (when delivered)
Watch-outs
  • disappears after full upfront payment
  • incomplete or poor-quality work
  • no follow-up or communication
  • upsells and disputes over scope
  • fails to complete contracted services

Best for: customers comfortable paying full upfront for single, immediate projects like sod installation, not ongoing seasonal contracts.
Think twice if: you need ongoing care or plan to pay in full upfront; recent reviews document communication breakdowns and unfinished work after advance payment.

What stands out?

  • sod and grass installation quality (when delivered well)
  • knowledgeable staff advisors
  • wide service menu (aeration, overseeding, mosquito treatment, etc.)
  • named staff (Muhammad, Waqas) praised for efficiency

Worth knowing

  • Staff named Muhammad and Waqas credited for quality and efficiency in positive reviews
  • Company policy requires full payment upfront before scheduling
  • Complaints of incomplete aeration, garden bed edging, and seeding despite full payment
  • Snow removal contract cancelled mid-season after near-$2000 charge
  • Owner allegedly conditions refunds on removal of negative reviews
