You can not always control the lawn but you can control the people that service it and Bryton at Land Shark Pest Control has done an amazing job in our yard, he takes his time to explain what is wrong, is polite and always taking that exta step to make sure the job is satisfactory. Will recommend to use this company.
My lawn is dying and Lawn Shark is not taking responsibility. They are trying to pass the blame to the person who mows my lawn. They say he is cutting it too short or using a dull blade which are lies. He mows 12 lawns in my neighborhood and only mines is dying. We have been paying them and now that things are going wrong they are blaming everyone else except taking responsibility or doing anything. Very disappointing and unprofessional.

Hi Amal. We have numerous pictures of your lawn showing severe scalping damage and completely shredded leaf blades due to mowing the turf too short and with a dull mower blade. I reached out to you in an email after doing a free follow up treatment to help your lawn recover from the mower damage. Unfortunately, without resolving the maintenance issue, the lawn will continue to decline.

Family owned. By far the best company in the Orlando area. They take their time, are very thorough, and always communicate when and what they are doing. Businesses like these need to be supported.

I was referred to Land Shark by my lawn maintenance company. From the start I had good communication with Steve to schedule a quote on a day and time that was convenient for me. David Caldwell came out to give quote and he was professional, knowledgeable and treated me with respect. The quote was fair and due to the strong customer service, knowledge and fair quote I felt secure in going with this company.

David Caldwell came out to aerate our yard. Not only did he go over problem areas multiple times, he also took the time to educate us on how to take care of our lawn better, especially for the upcoming hot Florida season.
David has a positive and friendly personality and presents the company’s overall great service very well.
