The owner, Ryan, delayed seeding our lawn until the very end of Oct 2023. When we expressed concern about this late planting of grass seed, he insisted that he had done this many times over the years and that it would be fine in the spring. When we questioned this further, he looked me in the eye and verbally guaranteed it would grow and that he would reseed in the spring if it did not. The day after he seeded, strong winds had blown the straw and likely some seed away, leaving large areas of bare spots.
When my wife called him this spring (late May 2024) to get the lawn reseeded, he said no because we didn’t water the lawn! As most anyone will recall, the month of May was extremely wet, raining most days, leaving our yard muddy and unwalkable most of the time. He did not contact us this spring at any time with instructions to ensure the lawn would grow successfully. In fact, he said he drove by a couple of times to check but never communicated any suggestions or requirements to ensure a healthy lawn, stating he “doesn’t have time” to talk to all his customers! Collecting our money last fall was apparently the only thing he really cared about. We have learned the value of the owner’s word the hard way and are writing this to hopefully spare someone else a similar experience.

Ryan and his team have been great to work with for snow removal. Its been a struggle in the past with other vendors. I am happy this year was so smooth!

After my husband was injured and had to have an unexpected surgery we needed some help with our lawn work. The owner was very personable and reassured us that everything would be taken care of. The lawn care was exceptional and it was nice to see a friendly face. We couldn't have been more happy with our decision to choose Appleton Lawn and Snow, they were priced just right for our lawn care needs.

These guys did a great job! After calling around to get quotes these guys were the most reasonable regarding price by a lot , I had about 8yards. Did all around the house.
Staff was very professional and were in and out in about 2 hrs. Definitely will use again in the future!! Ryan the owner is a great guy to work with.

Purchased a new home where the final landscaping/lawn was put in July 2022. We have standing water up to the foundation. They came out, saw the mess and they never came up with a plan to fix it. We have had several other contractors out and they all said the grading was done incorrectly. We have had quotes to fix it up to $17000.00 and some contractors have said it has to be completely redone because it was done so poorly.They certainly do not stand by their work.

We recently had Appleton Lawn Snow and Landscaping at our house for a landscape update project. They removed old rock and replaced with new, redid edging with natural stone, and planted several new trees and scrubs. They did a beautiful job! The landscape update adds so much improvement to our yard. Nate, Kale, and Brad did an excellent job! Hard workers. Very easy to work with and very trustworthy. Got the job done in 2 days. We are very happy with our new landscape!! I highly recommend. Thank you, Ryan and team!

While mother nature slowed this project down the company was outstanding to work with. Ryan was great to work with and helpful when we had to make some changes. Also the crew that was here for 3 days regrading my property and installing the sod were always willing to answer my questions and were great with my dogs and their safety. I would highly recommend them.

Excellent Investment!
I hired Ryan's Appleton Lawn and Snow Removal based upon it's stellar reputation in the real estate community, and I was thoroughly pleased.
Upon arrival, his crew went to work immediately, were polite, professional, and hard working, and left the work site in excellent condition. I am completely satisfied, with both the quality of the work, as well as my cost.
In the future, he will be my first call for any services he provides, even if he's busy and I have to wait.
Excellent Value!
Thank you Ryan!

Ryan and the Appleton Lawn and Snow team were great to work with. The Wisconsin summer is short enough and this year with all the rain did not make the best year to want to put a new lawn in but working with Ryan on the project made it great.
From day one, the responsiveness was great and it was very noticeable that Appleton Lawn and Snow pride themselves in great/quick communication and then backed by good quality work. I selected to work with Appleton Lawn and Snow because they were cost competitive and had great customer service and I am very satisfied with my decision.
Weather permitting, when then lawn was put in, I thought the team did a great installation job. I even had neighbors comment on the quality of work the team did. When I had some post sale questions and request, Ryan was very responsive which showed they really value their customers.
I definitely would recommend the Appleton Lawn and Snow team again. The only regret that I do have is not being home when they did the installation so I could thank the Appleton Lawn and Snow team personally (or maybe set a cooler out for them so they could have some ice cold beverages)

Ryan came out to check out my landscaping in a timely manner. He listened to my ideas and understood what I needed to get done. I received the quotes within a week and they were reasonable. I contacted Ryan discussed what I could afford at this time and he worked within my budget and was able to do the job THAT day. My landscaping looks 1000 X’s better and is just what I wanted. I look forward to working with him and his team in the spring to finish the rest of the project!

From the time that we requested for quote until after the job was done, the customer focus is far above any other company we reached out to. When emailing Ryan, we came to expect to see a response within hours; not days or weeks. He was very flexible with quoting us different options and is priced within the same range as other companies. His crew came and installed our brick patio and lawn in a matter of three days and were very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful with tips on maintenance. If you are looking for top notch quality work and extremely good customer service, Ryan and his crew at Appleton Lawn & Snow is definitely the way to go.

Ryan and team did a great job on my drainage ditch and removing a tree last year!! They were great to work with up front, they arrived when scheduled, they patched up my yard when done, and they even took away extra brush that I had in the back when they removed the tree!! All in all a great company to work with and I will use them again.

Ryan and his team are wonderful to work with! We had a very detailed project completed, and he was always open to discussing pros and cons of our ideas throughout the project, and including in our suggestions along the way. He worked diligently to complete the project within the quoted timeline, even with our additions! Overall work was excellent quality and he was a lot of fun during what could have been a stressful time. Would definitely hire him again!

I just moved into a new construction home in July. I wanted to get my lawn in this year, but so many of the lawn companies are so busy this year. I received a flyer in the mail from Appleton Lawn and Snow Patrol and figured I would give them a call. Ryan and I communicated and he was able to work me into their schedule in just a few weeks. Throughout the process I had a lot of requests and questions and Ryan answered every one of them in short order. I don't think I waited over 15 minutes for Ryan to call/text me back at any point. The quote I received wasn't the lowest price I had seen, but I really wanted my lawn in, and with the communication that I had received, I was confident that the job would get done.
When the crew showed up to put the lawn in, it was Arlin (the foreman) that ran the show. Arlin knew exactly what he was doing. He shaped the yard, planted the seed and fertilizer, and spread the hay and made sure I was happy before leaving.
I watered the yard religiously every day and after just ONE WEEK, our lawn was sprouting up. It has now been about a month and the lawn is coming in very well. Whatever product they used must have been quality stuff because the lawn is looking great.
Overall, the communication I had with Ryan throughout the process and the job that was done exceeded my expectations and the value I received with all things considered was well worth it in my eyes. I have no doubts that if something had gone wrong with my lawn following the project or even went wrong with it now, I could text Ryan and he would work through it with me and that is priceless. I would recommend Appleton Lawn and Snow Patrol to anyone!

I've had the opportunity to work with Ryan and his Appleton Lawn and Snow Patrol team multiple times and have always had a fabulous experience. Whether it was mowing our lawn (after I had a significant surgery), mulching our flower beds, or trimming our trees - all have been excellent experiences. More recently, this summer my husband really wanted to build a fire pit/patio in place of where our above ground pool used to be. I called multiple landscapers for estimates...our options were narrowed down to Appleton Lawn and another local company. We went with Ryan because he really provided a great deal of details on the project, understood our vision, and was able to work with us within our budget. One thing I like about Ryan is he doesn't BS...he tells it like it is and explained to both my husband and I that weather could delay our install (it was insanely wet in mid-may). Sure enough, weather was a factor, BUT Ryan would text me frequently letting me know when things looked like they'd be able to get done (we needed a two day (dry) time frame for install and finishing. When install day arrived, Ryan showed up, introduced me to all three members of his crew who would be working on the project and I was impressed with his foreman, Arlin. That guy is a gem! All three and Ryan got started and it was smooth sailing!!!! His crew was professional and were hard workers. Arlin checked in with me a few times throughout the day to get my input, make sure I was happy with progress, and then filled me in on the timeline for the second day of install. I was always "in the know" of what the plan was. I made a last minute decision to have Ryan fill in the tracks/divots from the equipment with fresh top soil and seed. I had thought earlier to save on cost that my husband and I could just do it on our own...yea, dumb idea. Ryan and his team made the adjustment quickly and before the guys were done, they had arranged for top soil, seed, and straw to be put down. It was the best "add on" decision I could have made! Sure, it was an extra expense, but It saved me and my husband tons of time, frustration, and annoyance! LOL. Watering the new lawn was WAY easier and WORTH IT! I can't say enough positive things about Ryan, Arlin and the crew. We love our patio and use the fire pit every weekend :) It was a great investment at a fair price and we are already beginning to plan our landscaping project for next summer - which we will be asking Ryan and Appleton Lawn to complete! I'm including a before picture and some after photos of the install!! If anyone has questions or wants more info, don't be afraid to ask.
