Jacob came to my house to review the lawn, check on some fungus, the sprinklers and the overall health of the lawn.
Offered a plan and a discount and scheduled the project.
Thanks. Joe Sesnak San Jose, Ca.

Thanks so much, Joe! We're glad Jacob could help and look forward to making your lawn great!
I’ve used them twice for lawn servicing and a sprinkler system repair and had great experiences both times. They’re communicative, knowledgeable, and always willing to share insights on how to improve my lawn over time. The booking and estimate experience is smooth and they will likely be my go to for any lawn support I need

This is my second season using this company for my yearly lawn maintenance. Jacob does a great job and spends the time with you to explain the process. I do enjoy working on my lawn doing basic maintenance, Jacob goes out of his way to recommend me products to use to ensure a healthy strong lawn. I highly recommend vintage lawn service.

3 stars
I chose this company because they responded to my Yelp lawn repair project very quickly. Their initial assessment and proposed solution sounded professional, and their pricing was reasonable.
The first star is for their prompt communication and professional consultation.
The second star is for the fair price. We had both our front and back lawns repaired. The front lawn turned out reasonably well, but the back lawn looked almost the same as it did before the work was done.
The third star is for their professional equipment and workflow. They use modern, well-maintained machines, and the overall process appeared organized.
I couldn’t give a fourth star because of their reliability. They were not punctual. If I hadn’t followed up, it seemed like they had forgotten our appointment, and they didn’t arrive until around noon, finishing the job at about 3 p.m. When they were scheduled to come back to reseed some areas, I waited all morning, but they never showed up or contacted me.
I also couldn’t give a fifth star because, despite having excellent equipment, the quality of the workmanship was disappointing. The work felt rushed and lacked attention to detail.
If your schedule is flexible and you’re mainly looking for a reasonable price, they may still be worth considering. However, if your time is carefully planned and you expect reliable scheduling and meticulous workmanship, I would not recommend this company.
I had a great experience with Vintage Lawn Service. Jacob came out and spent a lot of time walking my property, answering my questions, and giving me honest, professional advice on how to improve and maintain my lawn. Even though it was essentially a free consultation, he never made me feel pressured and was genuinely focused on helping me understand the best approach for long-term lawn care.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy lawn care company, I highly recommend Vintage Lawn Service. Whether you need lawn maintenance, lawn restoration, overseeding, fertilization, weed control, irrigation advice, or general landscaping guidance, Jacob clearly knows his craft. It’s refreshing to find a company that prioritizes educating homeowners instead of just trying to sell a service.
I’ll definitely be calling Vintage Lawn Service when I’m ready for my next lawn care project.

Jacob did a great job. He was clearly knowledgeable about all things lawn-related, very generous with his time, and a pleasure to talk with. Unreserved recommendation.
