What customers say

We have struggled for years to find a reliable company to cut our lawn at our cottage until Cooks Lawncare and Landscaping LLC. I appreciate that we never have to follow up to make sure that we are on the schedule or constantly having to text them because no one went out to cut the lawn. They are professional, quick to reply, efficient and do a good job! It has taken such a weight off our mind and we are happy they came along!

John did an amazing job clearing our driveway with 3+ foot drifts after the 45mph winds! Very respectful and dependable! Do not question hiring these folks. A+++

Great service! Very responsive, quick, friendly, and affordable! Got my driveway and my neighbor's cleaned up in under 20 minutes after a heavy storm on a busy highway. Looks great. Thank you!

Cooks did a quick and thorough job cleaning a LOT of leaves from our property. The price was very fair and we'll use him again for spring cleanup and into future seasons.
