We have been a customer for many years and have always been happy with their work. They mow our lawn, do spring and fall cleanups, and weed/mulch for us every year. They do a great job, and in the few instances where theyve had a misstep, they were quick to rectify.

Kindness is in short supply these days but Scott from general, showed that is not always the case. Yesterday, while spraying salt on Willow Green Lane , he stopped for some reason, I called to him for help to get my newspaper since my steps were covered with ice. He was so very kind to hand it to me and said, make sure I washed my hands even though he was vaccinated. Today another icy day, he drove past my condo saw my newspaper on the ground got out his truck and placed the paper by my door. Those are acts of kindness I will never forget. Thank you Scott.

We were selling the house and asked GL to provide mowing weekly. The crew of 4 did an excellent job every week. Scott had his crews do a few odd jobs around the yard. Always received high quality work. We definitely recommend General Landscaping.
