Reviews
What customers say
Customer experiences differ: one praises the extra care given to garden concerns, while another appreciates Dillon’s interest in answering questions. Several other customers describe damage or unresolved issues: one says aeration tore up grass; another says a raised garden bed was destroyed and no response came about a replacement or promised refund; a customer who filed a complaint says the return visit tore up the yard and that a bill and collection threat followed. The raised-bed customer also reports that the company had to come out twice before sending a backflow test, after the city sent a notice that irrigation was turned off.

Back in September they came and aerated our lawn. While they were here they hit and destroyed one of our raised garden beds and told nobody. I noticed and contacted them that they hit it and did not get back to us for 2+ weeks. They then finally sent someone out to take pictures to replace the bed.
We still have not heard any response on a replacement or a refund they said we would receive.
We had also had problems with them not sending our back flow test to the city. This resulting the city sending us a notice that our irrigation was turned off. They had to come out twice before it was actually sent in.
Terrible communication and terrible customer service.

We had Robert Johnson and team come do our yard after taking a year off of outsourced lawncare- they were so accommodating and treated areas of concern in our garden with extra care and attention- we felt they went over the top to help us out and the grass is looking great now! We really appreciated that and makes me glad we are back with this company!

?? DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY ??
I participated in a city-subsidized lawn program in Clive, and this company was responsible for the work. They were caught red-handed not overseeding—my wife saw them skipping the job right out our window. After I filed a complaint, they came back and completely tore up our yard.
Now they’re sending me a bill and threatening to send it to collections. This company is extremely poorly run, with disrespectful and lazy employees. Stay far away from them. Choose any other company, and tell everyone you know to do the same!

Dillon does his job diligently. I noticed that unlike others in his line of work, whether someone is home or not, Dillon religiously does his spraying and stuff and leaves. More than anything he answers questions with interest.

As a sponsor of Cyclone Fanatic, I reached out to A+ Lawn and Landscape for lawn care. They came out and sprayed for weeds. That was fine. When they brought out the aerator, it tore up the lawn (big chunks of grass/sod ripped out). They left a note after they were finish saying the machine acted up and that they threw down some seed where the lawn was torn up. (If it acted up once, why keep using it?)
Unsatisfied with the quality of the work, I called A+ to have a supervisor come out. When the supervisor was here, he assured me that the places where the chunks of sod were ripped out would eventually level out. Fall and winter came and went. The snow has all melted. The chunks did not level out. There is a place in my backyard that is completely lumpy and uneven due to their negligence.
I expected a lot from this company and was let down. I would definitely not give them an A+.
