What Our Clients Are Saying

​We've just started using Real Turf for all of our lawn maintenance. Everyone has been very courteous, knowledgeable and responsive, not to mention they are quite reasonable. They even performed an extra service cutting up a few limbs from the storm and hauling away, even though that's not part of their normal service. I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for great service and total lawn care, including insect, weed control and fertilization.
