Lawn Service Recommendations

**ValleySooner** · 05-24-2010, 04:16 PM

Anyone have a recommendation for a professional, reliable, detail-oriented weekly lawn service company/person serving the west side of Norman? I've picked a few names out of the Transcript in the past but had less than desirable outcomes. I'm guessing the best ones don't need to advertise.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

You want Eric Taylor. I'll have to find his number, but he and his chaps do very good work.
My son does ours now, but we've used Eric a lot over the years.

edit - try 205-7146

It's definitely possible. The last two guys I hired for weekly lawn service over multiple years were a middle school teacher/coach and an OU Law student. They both did a great job, but inevitably exited the business.

Thanks Kevin! I called Eric today and set up service starting next week. When he returned my voicemail, his caller-id said "Lawn Service", so that's definitely a good sign. Hopefully I can stop looking for a few more years...

^Do you mind me asking how much they charge on a weekly basis? Lot size?

I am certain you'll be happy with him. When I first used him, many moons ago, he was a one man operation. Fast, efficient, GOOD, & reasonable and then some price-wise. He's grown his business well over the years, and seems to enjoy what he does, as does his crew. When I was with a group in OKC a few years ago, I brought him up there to do work on our commercial location,a nd got the results I knew I would.

If my last at-home lad starts working elsewhere this summer, I'll likely be calling Eric again myself. I've purt much done as the lawning I intend to do in my lifetime.
