  My lawn has never looked this good. We have had a lawn in Ocean City for 35 years and probably have used 5 different landscaping companies. John is by far the best. If I have a concern or issue he is on it, asap. John does not sit in his office directing his employees he is outside in the heat, seeing what is happening to my lawn and taking care of it.

  For what it is worth, I have never posted a negative review before and have had the same landscaper for 10 years at my primary residence at home. For the Ocean City property, I never used a landscaper until the last year when I hired John. In 2024 we were not down as much and needed a hand to maintain the small yard. John started handling my lawn care in the summer of 2024. All good, no issues, lawn looked fine all summer, fall and winter. I come down to the house in late March and the lawn does not look healthy at all. Looked burned out. I had never seen it that bad in 7 plus years at the house. I notice a flag on the lawn, indicating some sort of application. I reach out to John asking about the health of the lawn and he says ‘it will be fine, cold harsh winter, taking a little longer for the grass to pop this year’. Tell myself okay, let it be. I come back down in early/mid April, lawn looks even worse. Reach out to John again and he tells me the irrigation was not running long enough in the fall, and last fall was a ‘serious drought’. And the lawn won’t look good this summer. Not sure how his assessment and reasoning could change in two weeks? Thought the sprinkler comment was especially strange considering my property is on the same sprinkler system as my neighbor and their grass was green and growing, not dead and burned out like mine. Also, every house around me, up and down the block, green and growing. Most with no sprinkler system of lawn maintenance service to speak of. Drought, harsh winter…. They just affected my lawn and not one of the other lawns up and down the block? Makes absolutely no sense. Of course when I question the lawn care I get a defensive ‘no way the application affected your lawn’. I have had two other landscapers come out since. Their first comments are ‘what happened to your lawn?’. ‘What did you apply to it?’ I now have to resod a lawn that has been fine for years and would have never needed to be re sodded. John almost defiant in his response when I brought up all of the above up to him. Eatimates to resod the damaged lawn, much more reasonable from other landscapers than John’s, go figure since it would have NEVER even needed to be re sodded prior to him handling the lawn service. Lack of honesty, integrity, knowledge, treating the customer like a jerk, take your pick. Bottom line the lawn was never burned out before and no other lawn in the neighborhood is. If other lawns around my property suffered the same ‘drought’ or ‘harsh winter’ issues as mine, understandable. Every other lawn is green and growing though.

  John and his team did a fantastic job on the landscaping for our new pool. I love my new plants and lawn - our grass looks tremendous and their service is so reliable, always show up when they say they will. I would highly recommend them.

  We have been using John for our landscaping for the past 7 years. He responds right away to any questions or concerns and he is honest, thorough and very reliable. I highly recommend Fit Lawns!

  John cares for our lawn like it’s his own. We have used his services for years, including irrigation installation, landscaping, and seasonal cleanups, as well as mowing and lawncare. We highly recommend Fit Lawns…professional, knowledgeable, reliable and responsive.
