We've been customers for years, they do our regular maintenance and landscape design. We just had them do some updating to our property line with some new trees and shrubbery and we love it! Special thanks to Mauricio & Cutberto who got everything installed and looking great. Highly recommend.

Mauricio & Cutberto did an exceptional job laying mulch in an irregular space with very specific perimeters. The job occurred on the expected day, was done in a day, with no surprises and no clean up needed from me. I will definitely be calling Agape again.

Our trimming team made up of Marcos and Alexis did a fantastic job. There was a lot to do and stayed until 9:00 pm to make it perfect. The workmanship was great.

The Agape yard team has done excellent work at my home the past years. Jorge and his partner recently did some yard clean up at my home and have been very attentive to details. Each yard crew member seems to genuinely care about my property. The mowing and trimming are always done carefully with great results. In recent visits they are kind to always re-position the top of my birdbath that the deer often knock over. I highly recommend Agape Lawn Care for your home's landscape and yard maintenance.

I hired this company for a full backyard cleanup and new turf installation, but the entire experience was a nightmare. They showed up three hours late on the first day without a single courtesy call to let me know they were delayed. When they finally started, the crew seemed completely rushed and careless. They accidentally cracked two of my existing sprinkler heads and completely refused to take responsibility for the repairs. To make matters worse, the turf they laid down is incredibly uneven and already looking patchy after just a week. Once they collected the final payment, they completely ghosted me and stopped responding to my calls to fix the issues. Extremely unprofessional, terrible customer service, and definitely not good value for the money. Save yourself the headache and hire someone else.

We had an unusual landscaping project: our 1100lb triangular stone had fallen over- it had just been set down on our mulch the day before by the delivery company, clearly not properly supported. Agape’s team leader Sam had an ingenious plan - dig a shallow trench, maneuver the base into the trench, support sides with rebars, then pour mortar to solidify all in place. Rolando and Julio skillfully did this & were crucial to the success of this project. The stone stands firmly now, thank you all so much!
