Nichols & Son Lawns

This Pro Story

I got started in the landscaping industry in Atlanta in 2002 after retiring from 21 years of service to United State Postal Service. I relocated to Atlanta from New Jersey in search of better opportunity and better quality of life, looking back I'm glad I did. Georgia is just lovely and spread out, I have more breathing room and freedom to move around here than I did back in New Jersey.

My brother taught me the lawn care business, I learned the art of the trade from him. Believe or not there is actually a skill to mowing lawns, getting the edging done properly and making the customer happy. I have him to thank for teaching me the proper skills, and it was not long before I realized that I wanted to be in business for myself

Over the past few years, I have grown my lawn care business up to 80 weekly lawn maintenance customers, and I service each and every one of them myself. I find that to deliver a personal level of service to my customers, I need to be on every single yard every week to make sure they are mowed correctly.

I have grown my lawn service in Atlanta and earned customers’ loyalty by staying out in front of them. My work speaks for itself because I like to take my time to make sure each of my lawn care clients remain happy.

I service yards all over the great ATL area. I live in Alpharetta, and I service the 285 beltway north of I-20, mainly the areas of Duluth. Decatur, Stone Mountain, Fairview, Sandy Springs, and Roswell. Anyone in a 50 mile radius of Alpharetta Georgia I will mow their lawn

Recently I have begun to really grow my clientele in the Alpharetta area. The HOA’s in Alpharetta are more strict about how homeowners need to care for their lawn. My customers tell me they put landscaping in their budget , just like their car insurance, utilities, etc. This lets me know they are proactively thinking about the landscape maintenance for their investment, and that they have pride in homeownership.

I have all the necessary professional lawn equipment to service my customers. I have a Exmark Zero Turn mower, and I also run a 22” mower to get into the small fence gates some clients have. I don't ever want to have to tell a customer “no” because their fence gate is too small for mower.

In addition to the weekly lawn mowing I will do mulch, pine straw installation, stone installation, french drains,. sod installation ,core aeration and overseeding, and leaf removal..

Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to taking care of your lawn for you.

Cheaper is not better nor expensive better quality not quantity. Choose a provider that work with you not for you. Meaning one who incorporates your ideas and theirs.
