Backyard work

I had my back yard leveled, top soiled and seeded. A large part of the work was completed in less than one day with a "bobcat". The driver was courteous, respectful of the rest of my yard and very efficient. The next morning employees came and did the raking and seeding.
The truck loads of dirt that were piled in front of my house on the driveway and road were well cleaned up. And the "bobcat" tracks left on my front lawn were raked and seeded, even though that was not part of the contract.
Very professional and thorough job.

Thank you so much for the great review!! We aim to please and we are very happy to hear you were satisfied with the job and clean up. We try to leave our job sites as clean as possible so that the beauty of the new lawns are not affected negatively by a poor cleanup job. Plus it's not fair to you to have to clean up after us :P Enjoy your new lawn, and if you need anything, let us know :)

Landscaping

I hired the Instant Lawns team to do some landscaping on my property. They installed 2 retaining walls and used hydroseeding for the lawn. The first time around, the hydroseeding did not work but they came back when I called to spray it again at no cost. They provided excellent service and I am very happy with the outcome.

Sodding of backyard

After having our backyard destroyed due to construction of a new garage, Instant Lawns created a beautiful space for us in just one day! In addition to sodding of a large area, they corrected the grading, put down river rock alongside the new garage, created a pathway and installed a mulch area for a trampoline. We were amazed that all of this happened so quickly! All of the staff members, both on sight and in the office, were very friendly and easy to work with. We are very pleased with the end result.

new lawn

These guys turned out backyard weed field into a beautiful green lawn. Although it was a small job, they handled it professionally right from the beginning. Adam was very helpful with suggestions and advice. Only two small details kept them from getting a 10: communication & cleanup; they didn't keep me informed about the scheduled installation date (I had to ask), and there were a few clods of topsoil left on the path to the back yard. Overall, I would recommend them highly.

Landscaping, Resodding

It is 4 months since we have Instant Lawns resodded our front and backyard. We ordered the drought resistant sod and it looks beautiful, lush green and healthy even in the heat of summer. The four crew who installed the sod were very friendly and knowledgeable, the estimator was competitive, and especially Kyle, the front man who seemed to work 24 hours a day in May. Their services were exceptional; they followed through all problems and provided us solution even though these were beyond their control. In our backyard, some small animals have flipped over some of the new sods. I have to flip the sod back in the morning and reported to Instant Lawns for advice. Instant Lawns provided me with several suggestions even though the problem was not related to them. Finally, I also like the free rain gauge from Instant Lawns, it is pretty handy!

I am rating their services and workmanship as excellent, and do not hesitate to recommend Instant Lawns to others who need to replace their lawn.

New backyard lawn

Read about Instant Lawns on Homestars and got hold of them. The quote they gave me was lower than I had estimated so I gave them the go ahead without asking for more quotes. I was happy that I did. The experience was top notch and I highly recommend them!
