Yards By Mike

We just moved into our place and the yard was a mess especially since it just rained for a week and it with a puppy that needs the grass to pee and poo, we definitely had to have it cut asap! We found Mike on Unilocal and he was very responsive. He called back immediately after he missed my call and squeezed us in the same week. My mom requested to come before our garbage pick-​up day and although he originally was booked, he called us as soon as he had an opening. He was definitely not pushy at all about the services he offers and did not insist on scheduling monthly visits. I felt completely no pressured and will definitely call him again when the weeds start to grow out!

I needed the leaves on my palm trees trimmed immediately and had called around on Unilocal for estimates. No one picked up my calls nor answered me back. When I called Mike, he not only answered my call, but offered to come out within an hour to take a look. He actually arrived in less than 30 minutes, completed the service on the spot, and charged a very good price. He was super nice, personable, and knew his stuff. I had him take a look at my front and back yard, gave me a reasonable estimate, and agreed to be my future ongoing gardener. I am extremely happy and would recommend him to anyone.

Mike does good work on our yards, on time. Nice friendly guys. Would highly recommend!

Mike and his crew have been working on our yards for almost a year now. Mike has been professional, timely, and he and his crew do a fantastic job cleaning up front and back yards. The price is great and the service is stellar. I highly recommend Yards by Mike for your lawn care needs.

Finally tired of yardwork and having weeds all over my yard, I found Yards By Mike on Unilocal.I left a voicemail to get an estimate, and he called back within an hour. We set up an appointment that very day. At first I just wanted to try a one time appointment to clear out all the weeds. His rates were very reasonable and the yard looked a ton better after he and his team were done with it. I also had him trim some of the bushes too.
I have him come monthly now, and each time the work is done as expected. Sometimes I ask him to trim certain trees, and it’s done very well. Highly recommend him and his team. Like I said before, rates were very reasonable and they do a great job!

Mike and his Team does good work. In and out as scheduled. Nice friendly guys. Mike listens to our lawn concerns and tries to help resolve the problem or gives us advice. Will definitely recommend him to others

Mike and team are the BEST! Called him at 8pm one night during a Warriors game last week after our stupid lawn mower died. He picked up on the first ring! Scheduled to be there next day, showed up on time, his team did an amazing job trimmed all bushes, moved the lawn, edged it, and blew away all of the debris. We are so happy with him! Fair pricing and really good at what they do! Recommended to a few friends already! Can’t stop talking about him! Going to hire him now twice a week to take the extra work load off the Husband.

Mike is the man. Left a VM, got a call back immediately, set up a date, and boom. Quick, easy and professional.
Work was done well and our backyard looked new. Would highly recommend!

Mike has been trimming my hedges and bushes for over a year now and I am very happy with his service. He is a very friendly guy and always responds to my text or phone calls immediately. I highly recommend Mike’s business!

New clients may find it difficult to get themselves on Mike’s busy schedule, however I highly encourage them to try! He gets customers and keeps them because he is a guy who knows how to run his business. He is friendly, reliable, efficient and professional. He always calls the night before to remind us that he will be mowing the next day, and the yard looks great when he’s done. While other lawn keepers might insist that his clients crate their dogs, Mike is OK with our little guy being out and about. This is a major plus because we hate the thought of putting our dog in a box while we are away at work all day long. I can’t say enough good things about Mike. Book him if you can!

When I called Mike he was very bisy and coud not take me as a costumer. He recommended me to call somebody else. I called couple time, nobody returnd my calls. I called Mike again and baged him to come. He came and took me as a costumer. He is great!!! Very responsible and positive! My front and backyard now never been better.
I’ll recomend Mike to everyone!, very happy with his job!

Gave Mike a call, and answered right away, he apologized but said he is currently booked up with clients at the moment but referred me to another person I could contact. The beauty of Unilocal is helping small business entrepreneurs gain more clientele b/​c of their great quality and service, but the downside is that they can quickly fill up and have trouble scaling. To all the reviewers hating on this one man show, see how you feel when your business exponentially grows overnight and you have trouble answering and returning every single call.
Thanks Mike for the referral, hope he’s as nice as you!

Mike is *the* ultimate lawnmower man! I called him on a Saturday, he came by 2 hours later, and the lawn was done in no time, and is maintained nicely ever since. And not enough: he maintains our hedge for free. We are impressed.

Bummed I have to do this, but I left him two messages and never heard a word back. Still haven’t received a return phone call, so I used someone else who I will continue using moving forward.

My backyard was a mess and hadn’t been touched in almost 2 years. There was tall grass, weeds, and small trees with protruding branches blocking pathways; It needed some help badly. I called Mike after finding him on Unilocal and reading all the positive reviews and he was able to look at the yard and give me a quote the same day I called. He detailed what he saw in the yard and what the job would entail, and made sure I understood what he needed to do. Mike said he could come out the coming Sunday morning around 9−10am to work on it and I accepted the quote.
Sunday came along and he arrived a few minutes after 10am (no big deal, a street was unexpectedly closed nearby my home), he introduced himself and walked through the yard with me, explaining what he was going to do.
After about 2 hours, Mike finished whacking all the weeds, cleared the tall grass, and trimmed away overgrown trees that were blocking the pathway to the yard. He even offered to spray some weedkiller along the path to the backyard, free of charge.
I’m very satisified with his work and attitude, and would recommend him for any gardening work.

I called this guy several times in the last 2 days but no reply. C’mon does he really deserve those 5 stars?

We’ve been working with Mike for just about 2 years now and have to say that he’s been amazing. The yard always looks perfect! He always shows up exactly when he says he’s going to, works quickly and efficiently. He even goes well above and beyond what we pay for in trimming branches that need trimming (but always asks first), cleaning up bulk leafs and yard debris when our trees start dumping, and trimming bushes that look too full.
We have recommended Mike to several people and will continue to do so! he’s not only extremely professional he’s also the nicest guy you will ever meet. He really does want to get to know you and will say hi every time he sees you. I couldn’t recommend a yard service anymore then Mike’s

I called Mike (it took a few times b/​c he’s a very busy man) and he was able to come over on his lunch break to take a look at what we need done. (OMG it is a butt-​load!) Mike quickly assessed our situation, and he politely/​diplomatically, but frankly told me he wasn’t right for the job and referred me to a friend who does the kind of work we need. (Landscaping and then bi-​monthly yard maintenance). He even gave me some helpful ideas about other things. I wish Mike could do our yards DANGIT!!! 5 stars, for being; A. on time, B. courteous and professional, and C. Didn’t mince words (but was respectful), and D. able to refer us to another who does the work we need done.
Mike is a rare breed, and our hope is that we see more «regular» people who’s not out to steel a buck, but who’s upfront, honest, and cares. Too many services out there will rip you off and move on to the next pigeon.
THANK YOU MIKE! :)

Mike has been great to work with in helping us get our front and back yards in shape. He was efficient and fast + also helped us in removing a dead cheap for a reasonable price. I look forward to working with him again.
What he does in 2 – 3 hours would likely take me a day getting rid of the weeds in my yard.

When my first gardener didn’t show up and the yard was looking ugly again, I called around to a few places. The first few didn’t answer or respond until hours later. I was able to reach Mike while he was at lunch, and he promised to call me right back. 5 – 10 minutes later, he did and we were able to find out he was conveniently nearby. So he came right over and gave me a most reasonable quote, and even said he could do it that same day since our garbage pick up was the next. I was quite pleased.
Being a house renter and kind of new at this, he kindly walked me through what he would do, when he would do it, and how easiest to pay. Works for me!
He completed the work that evening as promised, and when I came back home from errands I was very pleased by the work he completed.
I look forward to continue having a good looking yard by Mike!
p. s. the picture of Mike on here was really nice for me to know that he was the professional I was expecting, but his super-​nice work van was also a dead giveaway he was legit! :)
