Mike’s Custom Lawn Service

From new sprinklers, to sod, to planting trees to regular maintenance, Mike and his crew can do it all. The work is first rate and the staff are all hard working and capable but Mike is the heart of this company. His expertise and experience are surpassed only by his caring and genuine nature.

I called him because I needed some planting, sod, sprinklers etc. He was quick to tell me how experienced and well qualified he is. I thought great! But when I asked him when could he come out and a give an estimate, he acted very disinterested! He stated «Right now this is your emergency, it’s not mine.» And in a very condescending voice said «I’ll call you when I can, OK». Then, he never actually called back.
Apparently his business is doing too well for common courtesy. In this economy you would think he’d be a little more humble! Don’t waste your time with this company.

So just got off the phone with Mike the lawn guy, what a jerk! I asked him for lawn service on a certain day of the week and he started with how everybody wants their yard done on the same day and he can’t do this! cant do that attitude… Really I’m just trying to get some info. I don’t need someone telling me «I work from 4am to 11pm» everyday so this is how it is with an attitude. I just wanted my lawn mowed and weeds pulled.

Mike and his crew came to trim all our trees and bushes. They did a fantastic job! Mike noticed my husband was installing a sliding patio door and that our yard needed to be mowed. He had his guys mow and edge our lawn in about 20 min! Saving my husband about two hours of yard work! Mike and his crew are coming back to install a sprinkler system next week. I would highly recommend using his service, he and his crew do an excellent job!!!

Mike has been in Burbank a long time and people apparently seem to love his work. I had a hard time getting calls returned timely and his quote was more than double of what the next person quoted. That said, I haven’t had a chance to compare the quality. I think our personalities didn’t match and that is fine.

Mike + his crew are amazing! They got my front/​back yard all cleaned up the way it needed to be, and they take great care of it every week. His crew is professional and really, really fast — but they always get everything done and done WELL.
I don’t think anyone mentioned that Mike is also a licensed and bonded landscape contractor… meaning he does everything above-​board and actually carries insurance for his guys. My house has the best looking (ok, it needs new plants, but my fault not Mike’s!) yard on the block, and I always get compliments from the neighbors but I think they are to scared of the «gardener mafia» to fire theirs and hire mine.
I have a remodel coming soon, and I can’t wait to see what good ideas Mike will have for me. He also has the advantage of being an honest guy — if you are about to spend money on something silly, he’ll let you know. Which is good, because sometimes I get crazy ideas…
To address John B’s comments — yeah, Mike can be a bit of a whiner. (Sorry Mike, I LOVE YOU, but you are!) But just give him lots of notice and a reason why you need something done… special event, etc. and he’ll make it work. We had constant appraisals going on at the end of last year, and we kept having rain and holidays on my allotted gardening day. He was able to get the guys out there before we had the appraisal.
He’s a bit more expensive because he is actually licensed and has insurance, and I’m good with that. We do butt heads occasionally, but, hey, I need a good quality contractor, not a best friend.

I want to thank you mike for everything you do for our building. our building is spot less i will recommand you to everyone
