Landscaping reviews in Chesapeake, Virginia

ALM lawn technician, Demetrius, always does a very thorough job. He never cuts corners. Following the completion of the service he provides a list of observations and recommendations which are very helpful. Demetrius is very good at his work. I am pleased to be one of his clients.

Steve B. is the Best lawncare guy ALM has. If you get him, you get the Best treatment and service. Highly recommend him!!

ALM saved my lawn!
Early last summer, my neighbor and I had discovered a sand spur rapidly spreading over our yards. It had tiny brown triangles that you could barely see until they were embedded in your shoes or worse, feet. My two year old and my neighbor’s dog experienced the worst of it.
We looked into some available lawn treatment companies. Google only pulled up the large, national companies. They deal with lawns from regions all around the country, they aren’t locally based, experts that actually know the local soil. Fortunately, my neighbor’s dad informed him of a just that. We both contacted Agronomic Lawn Management. They have a great year-around program. When you sign up, they place you right into their continuing program. Well, I had spurs to one side of the driveway; I dug up most of the lawn to the other side of the driveway grinding out tree roots and a stump from a fallen tree; and the backyard was covered in various weeds. My lawn was a mess.
Our zip code rep for ALM, Daniel, reached out via text to inform me he’d be by later that week to inspect my lawn and spot treat the worst of the spurred areas. Then the following week, he’d come back to perform the month’s planned treatment. After a few months, my family was back to walking barefoot in the lawn. The spurs were gone. Then ALM informed me that it was the time of year to buy the slit seeding option, if we wanted it. I was caught off-guard as I thought that was included in the year-around program I already purchased. So that bit was a little upsetting. I think that is my only complaint I have about everything they’ve done for me. I wish that was made clearer in the beginning. But I knew I needed the slit seeding. Another unforeseen cost of repairing my lawn I hadn’t planned on in the beginning was buying some sprinklers. ALM did inform me that the results of the seeding rely completely on watering the lawn effectively. So I bought some tandem sprinklers with timers that I only had to move once a day for 2 months. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I was thinking it’d be. Anyways, back to ALM’s service. When that grass started coming in, and it did very shortly after the seeding, It was beautiful. Nice, bright green, soft underfoot, and complete coverage all across my property. The soil I packed into the stump hole and root ruts disappeared under fresh grass. Same for the low points around the lawn I had packed with soil. The spurs were completely gone. My backyard has no weeds, just healthy grass. They did it. It took ALM less than a year to fix my lawn. I am completely satisfied.
Overall, the cost of the program was very affordable. Both my neighbor’s lawn and mine were repaired better than we hoped for. ALM’s customer service was friendly and very easy to work with. Their website is user friendly. Our zip code rep, Daniel, was great. He kept me informed of every upcoming service for my property and provided a report following every treatment providing what had been done, his personal observations of how the lawn was faring, and his recommendations on watering more or less, adjusting the height to be mowing properly during whichever phase of growth the lawn was in, etc. It was a very straight forward and professional.
Good job ALM! You deserve all of the local lawn care business.

Jason is truly awesome! He killed and replanted my entire property last fall. He has provide specific guidance and support throughout the process. The initial results this spring are above our expectations! He is also extremely responsive when I have a question! Jason has delivered!!!!!

I had never hired landscaping services before but Agronomic made it so quick and easy. I had two enormous azaleas and they removed them in a matter of hours. So grateful!

Lewis takes such good care of our lawn. I appreciate his attention to detail and friendly manner.

ALM has revived my yard in just a little over a year! Jason and David recommend the best plan and make sure we are ready for the spring/summer! Thanks yall!

My yard has never looked so good. Nice and thick at the edges, beautiful rich green color. Even under the trees, the grass is growing nicely. Tim is just the best. He even remembers my name. Thank you ALM.

I switched to ALM about 3 years ago. The staff and the service that they provide are top notch. I am relieved to use a service that is not only trustworthy, but certified by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. Derrick is the technician that takes care of my lawn and I really appreciate everything that he does toward helping to make my yard beautiful and weed free. I would (and have) highly recommend ALM to those that would like their lawn to look healthy, great looking and the envy of the neighborhood.

Kimberly came to check out our shrubs today. What she found would curl your hair! But, she came with a plan and a treatment. She treated our plants with a dormant oil which will kill the issues she identified, even before we knew we had a problem. Great job, Kimberly!

Hired ALM as friends of mine had success with them. Their service was expensive, I was hesitant but wanted to see my lawn look great. Used their service since May of 2024 their initial applications didn’t show much improvement which I understood it takes time. My schedule called for a service in August which they came after I had overseeded my lawn. The new grass was growing well. My next application was supposed to be done in November to which they never showed up to service my lawn. I called December 10th asking why my lawn hadn’t been serviced. The reply I received was not what I expected from a professional company with the reputation they have. I was told they were busy and trying to catch up from the past week, I responded the past week doesn’t account for not receiving service in November which was a crucial time for my newly overseeded lawn. The tech never gave me a reason why they didn’t come for service. I also stated that his last application was very uneven to where it appeared the edge guard was left on during his entire lawn service. He started talking about fertilizer burn which wasn’t the case I didn’t have fertilizer burn I had NO FERTALIZER. He then stated he could apply some seed to the areas that were struggling. It was then I knew I no longer wanted to do business with ALM. Grass seed is not going to do well at all being applied in December it would have been a complete waste unless he was to put down some rye grass that maybe would have germinated however, I have a fescue lawn. I wish companies would do what they are supposed to, give you the product and service promised that you pay your hard earned money for and not try to bait you into being happy again with some false promise of fixing their mistake with another one. My lawn is important to me, and clearly not them. Pictures speak words here are some of my lawn and their terrible fertilizer application patterns.

Keith was my service person along with another person whose name I did not get. They did a great job, addressing bare spots on my lawn along with general seeding. Keith took the time to talk to me pre and post-service, and I ask alot of questions.
Highly recommend this team and look forward to seeing them again in November.

Our grass was saved by ALM! Demetrius is our technician and he is the absolute best. I appreciate that he notifies us ahead of time that he will be coming the next day. I also appreciate that he also notifies us of his arrival. He's always very efficient and congenial.

Demetrius provides great service at every visit.
He is dependable, professional, takes time to explain his services and is always smiling.
We love Demetrius!! Excellent service every time!

Steve is courteous and knowledgeable. I’ve used other companies but ALM has been the best. So much so that I convinced my neighbor to switch to ALM.

David always does an excellent job, maybe too good (kidding) because my neighborhood has an ALM sign in every other yard! Professional and courteous!

I met Tim when he was treating a neighbor's yard. Although busy, he took the time to talk me through his work in our neighborhood, services ALM offers, recommendation for our yard, then gave us a qoute and first treatment the next day. Very happy with the results.

Been with AlM for a few years now and have recommended them to neighbors. Overall they do very well. I do seem to have several problem areas that haven’t responded to their treatments. Not sure why these areas continue to be a problem, have mentioned these areas, they are also very obvious ,to the current and past technicians but no improvement so far. Current technician always lets me know he’s coming in advance. When I am here I watch him and he works hard and seems attentive.

Technician never called to make me aware of my treatment. Once on the property never rang my ring door bell announcing he was there and these are courtesies I have requested. How would you rate this?

Called November 6th 2025 to cancel my service because I'm planning on moving in 2026. They told me I was getting a refund of $xx about of money. I also called the first week of January 2026 because I didn't get the refund yet. I also called on the 21 of January 2026. Still no update of my refund. I was planning on getting a plan with then at my new house. My family also owns multiple properties at the north end in virginia beach they while not be get getting renewed now after my grandfather passed and my bother and I are taking over them because of this refund issue.

ALM has been great for weed control and management in my yard. Even after a couple applications you can see the difference. Highly recommend and the tech who does our work is always available to answer questions!
