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.

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.

James has been moving my grass for over a year now and it has never looked better. He is very reliable and the quality of his work is excellent. He has also trimmed back my bushes and shrubs.
