## The honest read

Lawn Services of Newington carries a 5-star Google rating across 94 ratings. A customer said Jim has been their landscaper since they bought the house and is always available to answer questions about the lawn.

A customer had Jim dethatch and aerate the lawn. A customer said Jim charged less than he quoted and blew the driveway and patio clear. A customer who uses the service for snow clearing said Jim also maintains the lawn in the summer.

A 2025 customer said Jim put safety first when aerating a slope rather than take a risk. A 2024 customer said Jim handled lawn dethatching, gutter cleaning, seeding and repair, and hedge trimming, and got the job done when promised. A 2024 customer said the driveway was cleared with no snow packed up against the foundation, and that a later visit was done for free when little snow was left.

A 2023 customer whose lawn mower broke down mid-mow said the company showed up that day and finished the job. A 2022 customer said Jim removed overgrown pricker bushes, mowed weekly, and checked first so weeks could be skipped when the grass still looked trim.

A 2024 customer wrote of waiting to become a regular because Jim is in demand.

**Strengths:**
- Questions answered — a customer said Jim is always available about the lawn
- Under-quote billing — a customer said Jim charged less than quoted
- Same-day rescue mow — a 2023 customer said they finished a broken-mower job
- Careful on slopes — a 2025 customer said Jim put safety first aerating

**Concerns:**
- Limited openings — a 2024 customer was waiting to become a regular

**Where sources disagree:**
- A June 2026 Google review carries a 1-star rating while its text praises the work.
