I’ve had James for my lawn care for 3 years now. He does great work & has done a few other jobs for me that were outstanding. Well worth the price!

When you find a great fit you stay with them. I was with my last service for over a decade. I had many before I finally found Higher Standards. They have not disappointed. I recommend them with zero reservation.

James does an excellent job--goes way above the competition. He pays lots of attention to detail and charges very reasonable rates. We have had him do two additional jobs for us related to lawn care, and on both occasions, he did wonderful work, and has vastly improved the looks of our property. Highly recommend him and his company. Top notch!!

He even contacted me to let me know the price would be a bit higher than initially quoted once he got to the property and saw. I…

I am very hesitant to say the least because so many people advertise a service, but do not live up to it. I messaged the owner Mr. Dennis, he was very quick on his response time. That is a must for me, the next day he was at my home, he was efficient, polite, professional, courteous, price was unbelievably low for…
