I have a very long history with Lawn Care Extraordinaire, and I would say that they are one of the most professional and courteous companies you could hire. And I like that they are truly a family business, with such a long history in Venice. I believe in supporting locals who have earned our business, and this company is one of them.

Absolutely the best!! We have been using Lawn Care Extraordinaire since moving here in 1999. For a very brief time a couple of years ago, we decided to try doing our lawn ourselves... HUGE mistake! We almost lost our whole lawn! Doesn't seem possible but it is the truth. When we look at neighbors yards, our lawn always looks greener, healthier and free of weeds.

Bob Francescone

Homeowner

Lawn Care Extraordinaire is beyond extraordinary. Our lawn and grounds have never looked better. They have rescued some shrubs from near death. The guys who service our home are well versed, knowledgeable, personable, helpful, and, if they can't answer our questions, pass on all of our concerns to their experts. Bravo!!

We've used Lawn Care Extraordinaire for many years and they do a really good job for us. If we see something going on, for example, new aphid infestation between service visits, I just call them and they come and take care of it. They always call ahead of a visit and let us know they are coming and I appreciate that and the courteous, professional staff in both the office and the field.

Lisa Bendorf

Homeowner

When I was starting my “build” in Rotonda West I would drive around my area and look at other properties. I saw several really great lwans. So, I eventually got the nerve to knock on the doors or ask to speak to homeowners when I saw them. The 3 I spoke with All Said they used “ Lawncare Extraordinaire”! I called as soon as I moved in and its been 2 1/2 years since Ive been using them. Whenever I have a concerm, they are quick to come back out and address any concerns and give advice. You cant ask for better Customer Service!.....especially in this time and age when that seems to be lacking in so many different venues. I will continue to use their services and keep referring them to friends and family!

Lawn Care Extraorrdinaire has taken a weedy pest ridden lawn and turned it into a plush green lawn in the course of a little over a year! I couldn’t be happier with the quality of work I have received. I appreciate the notifications about pending lawn applications and the office staff has always responded promptly to any concerns I have had. I have also taken advantage of their pest control plan and it has greatly reduced the pests that came inside the house over the course of the summer. This is an excellent company.

We've been using Lawn Care Extraordinaire for several years now and they do a fantastic job! Their employees are always on time, friendly and know what they're doing! We have Goldens and the tech will wait until the dogs have played and done their "business" before applying the treatments so I can keep them off the lawn afterwards! Our lawn looks great all the time and I'm so happy! We get tons of compliments from neighbors when they walk by. I highly recommend them!

What a difference in the health of our lawn after we hired Lawn Care Extraordinaire! Our St. Augustine lawn was a big expense and we had used another company to apply the solutions needed to control weeds, insects, and keep it healthy, but the results were not good. We noticed the nicest lawns in our neighborhood were cared for by Lawn Care Extraordinaire so we decided to try them, and we are happy we did.

J.T.

I decided to use this service after I realized that I needed some professional help. Now my lawn is the best looking patch of grass on my street.

Nice to have a locally run business that is affordable and professional.

Robert Sutton

The servicemen are doing a great job, and our lawn looks almost as good as the others on our street, however you need to come up with a chemical to deal with crab grass. I understand you don't want to talk about it, but there must be a way to get rid of it. figure it out! You are in the lawn care business.

When my lawn was showing signs of stress the technician (Trevor) rang my doorbell to discuss and we discovered that one of the irrigation stations was not running. My lawn looks great now.

Martha Clary

Service people call before they apply a product so I know what is being done. Our yard is so much better now that Lawn Care Extraordinaire is taking care of it.

Service people are always friendly and polite.

My wife and I contacted Lawn Care Extraordinaire and had them start treating our lawn, which was doing poorly. They have worked on it for about 6 months and the lawn has become lush and green. They also spray my pineapple palm(Canary Island Palm) every six months to keep any destructive bugs that bore through the tree under control. The tree is thriving and growing quite well.
