Customer Testimonials

"When I bought my house, the yard was something of a wreck. I knew it would need a zone by zone approach and some professional attention. Sparrow helped my lawn and landscaping look great! Everyone on their crews is reliable and highly knowledgeable, and their work is worth every penny."

Lynn J.

"When we built a new house, we chose Sparrow to handle all the landscaping. They worked with us on design, and created beautiful landscaping, including two berms with roses and ornamental shrubs. We have worked with landscapers in locations around the country and found Sparrow to be at the top when it comes to quality, and they were nice to work with, too. We are well satisfied, and highly recommend Sparrow."

Tom & Sue B.

"At the Morse Group, we usually handle our own snow removal, but when the employee responsible for it needed to take a medical leave in the winter, we knew exactly who to call. Sparrow has done a fantastic job on our grounds maintenance, so we expected great results from their snow removal crews, too. They jumped right in, did an excellent job and kept our lots and walks clean and safe. We recommend them for your commercial snow removal needs."

Brian S.

"We rely on Sparrow for a number of services on our property. They built a patio for us at our previous home, and planted beautiful perennials. When we moved to our new home, they did a fine job building a new stoop and brick walkway for our back door. They planted trees for us and keep our yard looking great with lawn and landscape maintenance and weed removal. My husband John uses Sparrow for snow removal at his business and has been very satisfied.

The Sparrow team is friendly, professional, timely, never leaves anything unfinished (even temporarily), and stand by their work 100%."

Emily H.

"I count on Sparrow to advise me on the health of my lawn and to handle my lawn applications. They apply fertilizer, aerate and overseed it as needed. When I first called them, I had brown patches, which they quickly identified as being the result of fungus growth, ironically from overfertilization. They not only developed a plan to get rid of the patches, but the whole lawn looks significantly better, much healthier and greener.

The Sparrow team is personable, easy to work with and tailors their approach to my needs. They account for the amount of work I want to do myself, and always do a great job."

Dovie A.

"The Sparrow team did a great job building beautiful retaining walls and large flower beds for my home. They also perform monthly maintenance on my landscaping.

My yard is rather large, and often I would come back from traveling and find my home looking like a disaster. I’d feel overwhelmed at all the work that had to be done. Since I’ve had Sparrow handle the maintenance, my home looks amazing and I have total peace of mind about my yard. The Sparrow team always does a great job, and they always ask if there’s more they can do. Do yourself a favor, and call them today!"

Shelly

"I was Sparrow’s first customer, because I had seen the work their founder, Mark, did before he started the business, and could tell he was dedicated to high quality and the best possible customer service. I had them build a brick patio at the back of my home. They did a magnificent job and it still looks great.

I later had them design and build a berm in the yard of my next house, with a block border, ornamental bushes and flowers. They helped me solve an erosion problem on the property, removing stone and railroad ties and replacing them with healthy new sod. I’ve also counted on them for tree removal and to build a brick walkway. I can’t say enough good things about Mark and his crew and I highly recommend them for any work you need done at your home or business."

Larry H.

"Sparrow is the main provider of grounds maintenance and landscaping services for the Highland Heights condominium community, and based on their excellent service we added their snow removal services this year. They provide comprehensive, high quality services, and are involved in continually improving the grounds. The work is accomplished economically and efficiently. Their crews are honest and dependable, and I know Sparrow goes through a lot of work to carefully screen them.

Sparrow has solid management from generous, responsible leaders who create a high level of trust, and I highly recommend them."
