What customers said about lawn mowing & maintenance
Wizard Lawn has taken care of my lawn for going on 4 four years. They do a great job and are always dependable.
They did an amazing job! Our backyard is full of well kept gardens so it’s wonderful that our grass matches them! Highly recommend!
Big shout out to Wizard Lawn Service. A family business that has been providing me with dependable lawn mowing and on demand extra services for the past 3 years. Wayne and his son privide friendly reliable services for a reasonable price. A local Elk River business worth supporting. Check them out.
Wayne is the real deal, very prompt in coming out and giving an estimate. His team and him did a wonderful job with the leaf removal and also were very fast. Very knowledgeable. Will use Wizard again.
We have used Wizard Lawn Services for fall leaf cleanup twice now, both times having a great experience. We try our best to use local businesses/services and would recommend Wayne and his team. He is responsive, kind and passionate about his work! His service is above and beyond what we could do ourselves.
These guys did a great job on our lawn and will be useing them in the future for our yard needs. Highly recommend good group on guys to work with.
