This is LONG overdue! A few months ago my front yard was the worst yard on the street when I bought my house. I tried various things for almost 2 years but nothing worked. Weeds had taken over the yard. My dad helped me with looking for a lawn service that could lay new sod and we went with Marathon. BEST decision.…

Marathon Lawn Services is the real deal. I just bought a house, the previous owner had left the backyard extremely overgrown and I am glad I called to get this done. Prices are very reasonable especially for the work that needs to be done. Henry is professional and very friendly, I will be using Marathon from here on out. No need to look anywhere else.

This is LONG overdue! A few months ago my front yard was the worst yard on the street when I bought my house. I tried various things for almost 2 years but nothing worked. Weeds had taken over the yard. My dad helped me with looking for a lawn service that could lay new sod and we went with Marathon. BEST decision. Before he left our house neighbors were already walking up talking about how good the yard looks. You cant go wrong with Marathon!
