Small lots, sharp edges

Head toward College Boulevard, Lamont or Rosemary and the lots open up a little. Your price follows your lot, not your ZIP code. Cross into Terrell Hills and the typical lot is a third of an acre. See lawn care in Terrell Hills.

“The Backyard Boys are the best! They were very professional and easy to work with in every step of the process. He made sure the quote was exactly what I wanted. The price was the best from several companies I had quoted. Diego let me know exactly when he would arrive. They worked hard all day and were very careful to make the lights look perfect! I had a problem after he left and he came back immediately to make sure everything worked perfectly. I highly recommend The Backyard Boys!!”

“There are not enough good things to say about the Backyard Boys. They went above and beyond installing Christmas roofline and trunk + limb lights. Diego et al were super friendly and couldn’t have been better with communications and checking to ensure the lights were perfect. You are making a mistake if you choose anyone else over the Backyard Boys.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Backyard Boys! I especially want to recognize Diego for his professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. He was courteous, respectful, and took great care of my lawn. It’s refreshing to encounter someone who takes genuine pride in their work and treats your property with care. Everything looked beautiful when he finished, and I truly appreciate the time and effort he put into making my yard look its best. Diego is definitely an asset to the Backyard Boys team! I highly recommend their lawn care services and look forward to working with them again. Thank you, Diego!”

“They are only doing front yard edging currently. Well worth it every 2 weeks, to keep weeds down. Reasonably priced, on time and blows drive-way afterwards. Considering them for other projects.”
