Steve and his team have been bringing my lawn to life and now maintains all aspects care of our lawn needs and treatments since we purchased our home 5 years ago. We now use their holiday lighting services too. Professional, easy to communicate with, honest , family and locally owned. Highly recommended.
SHELBY, B
I made a Facebook post on a community page looking for someone to mow my back yard. It wasn’t a pretty sight, as I hadn't been living there & hadn’t been mowed at all this year. Steve was so quick to respond and had the job done THAT DAY. He was so generous and kind; even protected the baby bunnies he found. 10/10 would recommend again!
JENNA, Y.
Have always had great service with Nolte and Sons. Their website had a little technological issue, but a quick email and everything was handled/fixed smoothly and with amazing customer care! Would 100% recommend!
BRUCE, T.
We've used this local firm for several years to manage our irrigation system and have always had great service! This time their service person helped my wife re-direct some of the sprinklers to better cover new flower beds!
JULIE, E
Nolte and Sons was recommended to me by many people and I am so glad I found them. The reached out to me right away and I even got same day service. Garret, the technician, was very polite and did a great job on my irrigation start up. I can tell I will be a long time customer!
