Chris did such a fantastic job with a big spring clean up, mowing, leaf blowing and pine needles. We couldn’t be happier. It was hard to find a lawncare that would actually show up so we were thrilled when Chris arrived as planned and did such a great job and he was price competitive. Don’t hesitate to call America’s Top Pick Lawn & Landscaping.

Chris did a great job trimming my holly trees and mulching the yard. After a previous trimming by another service, we had to have a holly tree removed and the others looked terrible. Another service did a slightly better job for an astronomical price. Howard’s Lawncare prices are reasonable and the work is very satisfactory. My son used Howard’s first; then my daughter and now we do too. I also feel very comfortable having him at my home.

I do like cutting my lawn and getting that satisfaction from doing it but he yard had gotten ahead of me and with fall here, I knew I needed to get all of it back on track - I wanted to source locally and glad that I found ATP Lawn! Chris couldn't have been nicer or courteous and prompt! He was there when he said (just to give a quote) and the service was outstanding. 5 star through and through! Photos to be posted tomorrow. Call them to do your lawn and see what it can be!

Chris did a fantastic job with end of season cleanup! He did leaf cleanup for my front and back yard, moved a pile of branches to the curb for pickup, and even did a quick mow to take care of some clusters of grass and weeds that had grown some since we mowed last. He was efficient and easy to work with. I am going to use him for gutter cleaning next time too since I learned he offers that. Would definitely recommend!

When I first contacted Howard's, the reply was very quick. He set up an appointment to check out my yard the next day, gave me an excellent quote, and set up the time for the service. He texted me the night before to confirm my appointment. He arrived promptly and got to work immediately. He cleared out the dead leaves and the gumballs, and I can walk around easily now. He was prompt, professional, and friendly, and the price was reasonable. I would definitely call on his service again.

I’ve been using Howard’s Lawn Care for the last few years and I can honestly say I’ve never had a complaint. I’ve used other lawn care companies before for my home and my business but I’ll never use any other than this one. Christopher is true to his word and actually has unbeatable prices, especially compared to the amazing quality of work.

I hired Americas Top Pick Lawn and Landscaping a few months ago. I must say they do a wonderful job. I have a large lawn with many trees and on a hill. Chris and his crew have done excellent work keeping up with mowing, edging and the many many leaves. I am anxious to see what they can do with the lawn come Springtime. Chris Howard is the owner, a very nice guy and keeps you informed about when they will be out to do their service. I am well pleased, give him a call, you’ll be glad you did.

Husband just finished the lawn and we saw Chris finishing a neighbors yard. We had some crazy weed eating that needed done. He came over and knocked it out for us! After the handful of companies that like to call themselves professional, it was nice to finally have someone actually do professional work! We most certainly will have him come back in the future. I always have projects I want done. Thank you again Chris, you saved the hubby from a back break one more day hah!

I got Chris’s number from my local hardware store & reached out to see if he could cut my overgrown grass at least several times until I got my mower rolling. He worked me into his bi-weekly schedule as I needed for a month plus. I was pleased with his work and the way he presented himself; a young responsible entrepreneur. Easy to work with and does solid work. I would recommend him and hire him again.

I switched from the recommended Lawn Guy to Chris and it is the best thing I could have done. My yard is looking nice in the summer and it IS NOT cut really low so it can dry out. He and his team take care of all my lawn needs. We even canceled our Service with TrueGreen. Chris and his team does an AMAZING job on our lawn to keep it well manicured and beautiful. Thanks for keeping our lawn looking beautiful!

This was our first experience hiring Chris to trim approximately 19 large overgrown bushes, and trim a tree. All of the debris was cleaned up when he was finished and now our yard looks great. He even cleaned our gutters since we did not own a ladder tall enough to complete the task ourselves. I can’t express enough how thankful we are to find such a dependable, hard working individual to help us with our yard maintenance. We will be calling him back soon to do more work for us.

Before reaching out to Chris, I met with another landscaping company, and let me just say, I’m so glad I connected with him. Chris promptly came out, provided a quote, explained his process, shared a bit about his business, and even sent over pictures of his previous work. Chris and his crew installed our mulch and added a few plants, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The transformation of our yard has exceeded my expectations, and I’m thrilled with how everything looks. I will definitely be using Chris and his team in the future. Thank you so much, Chris!

America’s Top Pick did not disappoint. Spoke directly with the owner, and he was very communicative through the whole process. He was always happy to answer my questions, and responded within a timely manner. It took a while for us to get on the schedule for their services (needed work done during the busy season). But it was well worth the wait. Their team of landscapers got the job done professionally with a great attention to detail. They clearly put a lot of care and effort into the work that they do. It's not often that I hire landscapers, because I typically prefer to take care of landscaping/yardwork myself. But if I ever need some work done on my property again, I know who I'm going with. Would highly recommend America’s Top Pick.
