The Terra staff and crews are pleasant, responsive, professional and do a great job! We are very pleased with their work and will be returning as customers next year.

We have had an excellent experience with Terra Lawn. They are reliable, dedicated and provide high quality work. User friendly portal and payment system. We are delighted that our lawn looks so great in a relatively short period of time. We also use their pest services-the team member was professional and knowledgeable.

I had a very bad experience with another lawn “care” company. They treated new grass that they had planted after installing a hardscape project and killed the grass. They also over treated an area in my woods that left me with a huge area of bare spots and uneven ground. I decided to give Terra a try. I have a wooded lot so I have an entirely different set of lawn problems from the average homeowner. I found there are 2 huge differences between Terra and the other lawn care companies. First, their Lawn Care Manager, Scott Gyuris is receptive and truly cares about my lawn as if it was his own. He has the knowledge and backs it up with products to tackle any problem. Secondly his technicians are well trained and take the time to do the job right unlike the previous company who seemed to be in a race to get in and get out as fast as they could. I used Terra for their full lawn treatment plan and fall aeration. As far as my bare spots Scott suggested to do topdressing and over seeding and now I have even ground with beautiful grass. My entire lawn has been transformed thanks to Scott and his team. Terra may not be the cheapest but if you want quality service, I recommend you call them.

My husband hired Terra to care for the health of our lawn. Until then, I did not have faith in lawn care specialists because we tried several who did not produce a healthy lawn for several years. Within the first year, Terra succeeded with noticeable results. It has been about three years and our lawn looks great. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and respectful.

Terra has been providing reliable services to us for 3 years, so I will keep using them!

I have been in the lawn care maintenance and landscaping business for 32 years. Owning my own residential business and now working for a larger commercial company. I was working from home when the crew from Terra Lawn Care arrived at my house for the Fall aeration and overseeding service. (I marked my electric dog fence with white paint and lawn flags). I watched the crew walk the yard front and back looking at the markings and the flags on the grass. In my 32 years, I have witnessed all of the local and national businesses performing aeration and overseeding in the neighborhoods I serviced as well as my own neighborhood, and I have never seen a company do a more thorough job than Terra Lawn Care. Every inch of the yard was aerated (in several directions) and overseeded in several directions. Any bare spots were slit seeded. There is not a doubt in my mind that my lawn will look amazing and out shine any of my neighbors who use other companies for lawn care. Terra Lawn Care is far superior to anyone else when it comes to their turf programs and the fall lawn care services. Terra Lawn Care employees are professional and very well trained at what they do.

Terra truly knows about lawn care! After another lawn care company destroyed my lawn by applying a treatment last August in 100 degree weather, I have had to begin all over again. Terra has a great reputation so I decided that I would have them do my lawn care treatments throughout the year and also do my over-seeding and aeration this fall. I was scheduled for early September. Of course, when the weather was reaching 90 degrees for the whole week, I was skeptical of the timing. I was assured that the seed would be fine and that the heat would be great for germination. I was encouraged to water consistently if drought conditions persisted. After the lawn was aerated and seeded, I decided to wait until after the week of hot, very dry weather and only then I was going to begin watering. I knew that once water became consistent, that the seed would become activated and I would need to stay on top of watering. Much to my surprise, we finally had a mild rain off and on for a day, about 10 days after the initial application. I noticed by the end of the week that my lawn was filling in with beautiful new green grass. Scott, the Lawn Care Manager, had told me to "trust him and the timing" and also to "not over think things" in regard to me having to do a lot of additional watering, etc. He was right! A lawn that was destroyed a year ago...you can't even tell now! Pricing is very reasonable and Terra always responds to emails and messages. Often you actually "get a human" when you call them! If you aren't happy with your current lawn care company, definitely give Terra a call! you won't regret it.

I can't say enough about the fantastic job Terra did on our property. From taking out a tree in the back yard and regrading the lawn to building a great new wall around our front garden. They worked tirelessly all day! We would recommend Terra for any landscaping work you may have.

We have engaged Terra several times over the last decade. My wife is truly pleased with the quality and attentiveness of every crew dispatched to care for our property. Prior to Terra, nobody even came close to the quality of their shaping and pruning of our nearly 150 feet of yews! Add to that trees, additional shrubbery and the awesome care of 50 feet of second story arborvitae’s. Kristin handled a very tight schedule for us, Fred came out and estimated the job, and a three person crew acted in nearly choreographed precision to complete in less than half a day. Impressive all around!

We are on our second season with Terra. We are very happy with our tech, Gabriel (Gabi) and Hanna-Rose from the office has been very helpful as well. Thank you for taking great care of us and our yard.

Stephen Sagrestano

Used their service last week for a mow and trim service. Kristin was extremely responsive via e-mail and scheduled us the next day. It helps having a local team, since we've typically seen others struggle with scheduling. The crew was polite, professional, maintained good quality and got the job done quickly.

Fred did an outstanding job handling the bushes here.. they look new! Thank you Terra for the great job!
