I am so fortunate that I was referred from a neighbor to use Custom Lawn for a sprinkler system that was broken upon buying my new home. They were the most reasonable & came on time & it only took 2 hours. I had Jason Greenlee who was very professional & did an excellent job. He was very helpful in instructing me on my control settings too. Thank you. I highly recommend him & this company. I'm so happy I have a sprinkler system that works. He even replaced some of my heads free of charge.

We were so happy with our irrigation service! We worked with Jason Greenlee, the Irrigation Department Manager and he was so incredibly helpful. He showed us how to use the system, educated us on the best ways to use the watering schedule, checked and serviced everything so well! We use Custom Lawn for several services and are so happy with all of their help. We will be adding services for sure after working with Jason!
Custom lawn does a great job of quick responses and are always out quickly when we need them, their customer service is awesome, they email reminders etc. All in all we highly recommend them for any need but especially for the wonderful irrigation services. We will be long time customers for sure!

One of my sprinkler zones wasn't working. Tom from Custom came out and quickly identified and fixed the problem. Turns out Google Fiber installers clipped a pipe. He took a few minutes to help me understand my whole sprinkler system better. Very happy with this service and I highly recommend Custom. Service: Irrigation system repair & maintenance

When my backflow valve gave out, Custom Lawn & Landscaping answered the call. The customer service rep (I can't remember her name) was fantastic. No one was available to look at it immediately, but she made sure someone came by to turn off the water until a tech could come out later to repair it. Jason G, the Irrigation Dept Manager, helped me. He took the time to explain everything for what best suited my needs and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need.
He even went out of his way to adjust the sprinkler control to run more efficiently for the season. Jason had my system back up and running in no time. I would strongly suggest using Custom for any of your lawn needs! The service is truly something you don't see too often these days!

I have been searching for a good company to become my go-to irrigation folks and I've 100% found it in Custom Lawn & Landscape. Setting up my appointment through Billy was super easy and he listened to my concerns about a previous experience with another company. He assured me that I would get the best by choosing CL&L. They gave me plenty of heads up for my appointment window and Jason G. (the Irrigation Dept. Manager) showed up right on time.
He was super kind and very educational. I like to learn and he was all about explaining everything in detail. He found a couple things that were causing issues and after getting my approval, he quickly handled the repair right then and there. He also priced a new controller for me so I could go ahead and start saving up for it as mine is quite a dinosaur! I'll definitely continue to use this company for my irrigation needs! I highly recommend them. Bring on summer! Thanks again Jason!
