Marathon Lawn Care & Services LLC

Marathon Lawn Care & Services LLC handles landscaping work out of Austin, Texas, with Zach running the operation. The company takes on routine lawn maintenance, spring cleanups, sod installations, shrub and tree trimming, mulching, leaf removal, edging, and full backyard transformations that include new plantings and decomposed granite paths. They also coordinate fixes like sprinkler repairs when those come up during jobs. Reviews show they cover properties in Austin and Cedar Park, handling both regular visits and one-time projects such as getting yards ready for sale or fixing neglected condo grounds.

Customers describe jobs that range from turning around the worst yard on the block with new sod to keeping multiple rental properties mowed and edged every other week. One needed a full cleanup plus hedges done on a tight deadline and got it finished ahead of schedule. Others asked for bush pruning, large shrub reductions, tree work, and mulching beds, with the crew returning after projects to check plant growth. Several mention starting with a one-off cleanup or resodding and then switching to ongoing care because the results held up well. Zach and the crew handle special requests like extra vegetation removal along fences without pushback.

Zach and the team respond quickly to estimate requests, often sending them the same day even when the homeowner is out of town, and they confirm arrival times by email the day before each visit. They reschedule promptly around bad weather and keep customers updated on any delays. Pricing comes across as fair and reasonable across the reviews, with options to pay online after the work. Service stays consistent in Austin and Cedar Park, and the crew works on both single homes and multi-unit properties while dealing directly with HOAs when needed. They show up reliably for biweekly cuts and take on extra tasks like overgrown tree trimming at straightforward rates.

The company holds a 5-star Google rating across 81 reviews. Reviewers keep coming back to the same points: strong communication from Zach, consistent reliability even over multiple years, attention to detail on every visit, and reasonable costs for both standard maintenance and added landscaping work.

“Exceeded expectations! I could write more but honestly if you are in their service area, you should use them. I used to have the ugliest yard on the block. Now I'm easily a top 3 contender. Photos from May 2021 sod installation.”

“We’ve been using Marathon lawn care for our properties for about 2 years now and Zach and the team are always friendly, accommodating, professional, and do excellent work at a fair price. Zach is an excellent communicator and so consistent. He’s never missed a service with the exception of severe weather in which case he promptly reschedules. This is THE go to lawn care service in the area. Support local small business and go with Zach and the Marathon team.”

“Zach and his team are fantastic. They are very thorough, courteous, efficient, and professional. Their prices are extremely reasonable and they are great at communicating when they will be coming by to work on the yard and their plans if the weather causes a delay. I feel lucky to have found them and highly recommend them. If you need reliable lawn service in Austin or Cedar Park, give Marathon Lawn a look.”

“I contacted Zach at Marathon Lawn Services for an estimate on a springtime lawn cleanup. What I really appreciated was their pro-activeness and convenience process. I was out of town at a conference and Zach was able to get an estimate to me quickly and once approved they took care of the job and sent me an invoice that I was able to pay remotely. When I returned from my trip my yard looked great! Very convenient and saved me a ton of time. Highly recommend Zach and his team.”

“A friend of mine recommended Zach to me and he has not disappointed. Zach and his team do a great job and are very reliable. I use them mostly for routine lawn care which has helped keep my yard in better overall shape. Zach is very good at communicating with me and he always lets me know if he notices anything in the yard that could use some extra maintenance. If I ever have any questions, Zach is very easy to get a hold of and is quick to respond.”

“Absolutely great service from Zach and his crew. He is extremely responsive and I'm also glad to see modern in his approach to lawn care. We were able to sort out some specific care for my zoysia blend and I can always pay online easily and quickly. He was easy to get in touch with and get coordinated for my initial cleanup and that went so well we stuck with him for our regular lawn care. Friendly and professional at all times.”

“We've been using Marathon for over a year and love them! They reliably come to mow and clean up our lawn every other week, sending us an email to confirm the day before so we can plan ahead. And they've been happy to help with occasional other requests like pruning bushes whenever we've asked. Zach and his team are great, highly recommend!”

“My lawn equipment wouldn't start and I needed my lawn and hedges done in a short deadline. Found this service and was pleased to be contacted immediately and given an estimate and the service performed within 2 days. Zach did an excellent job and within my 3 day deadline. Thanks for all your hard work Zach! The yard looks better than ever. I would highly recommend”

“We used Marathon Lawn for landscaping services. Zach was very professional, easy to work with, and responded to questions quickly. Zach and his team transformed out backyard and we are so happy with the results. He came by a couple times after he was finished with the project to make sure everything was good and to make sure the plants were growing. I highly recommend Zach and his team at Marathon Lawn.”

“It’s very easy to get set up with Marathon for regular lawn maintenance. Zack is quick to provide a quote and get you scheduled. Our yard looks great afterwards. Marathon also has other lawn services at a reasonable price. We were able to get a large shrub trimmed down and all of trees trimmed.”

“Zach got our yard ready for us to sell our house. He did everything from start to finish and our lawn has literally never looked this good. Zach cleaned up the yard, sodded and planted new shrubs in our backyard. He also added decomposed granite for our pathways. He completely redid an area where we lost a tree and it looks fantastic with new flowering shrubs and river rock. And then he mulched all of our beds. Zach is THE nicest, honest, and most helpful person I have ever worked with. We had an issue with our sprinkler system, and instead of telling us to find someone, he called someone to come same day to fix the problem. He really is the best. Thanks Zach. We would never work with anyone else!”

“You won't be disappointed! Zach and his team have been a pleasure to work with. I live in a Condo that has 6 units near downtown, we had a contractor that was just collecting a pay check and had our trees, shrubs and grass looking terrible. Zach came in and followed directions to a tee and has the place all ready for spring. Zach's pricing is reasonable and he will go above and beyond for anyone. I'm happy to say that Zach has won the contract for our complex and he works well with our HOA management company. Zach has a positive attitude and projects his enthusiasm onto his surroundings.”

“Zach and his team have taken care of our properties for the past three years or so. They do excellent work, are communicative, and reliable. I appreciate Zach's attention to detail. It's clear he cares about the end result and isn't just trying to get the job done as fast as possible. Definitely give Marathon a shot if you're in need of a quality lawn maintenance crew.”

“Zach and crew have been utterly dependable, provide good service, very responsive, take on special requests without question, and have excellent communication if/when circumstances require a change in plans. Our business relationship began when I needed someone to clean up my yard, weed, mulch beds, etc. Now I use them for yard maintenance. Very happy with them.”

“After accepting the realization that I could no longer maintain our lawn myself, I began paying attention to all the lawn maintenance companies in the neighborhood. I was impressed with what I saw from Zach and his crew and decided to give them a try. And we couldn't be more pleased with my decision. Their attention to detail and accommodation of special requests have been incomparable. I would highly recommend their services to anyone needing quality lawn maintenance and services.”

“I highly recommend Marathon Lawn Care. They do a lovely and professional job. They let me know ahead of time exactly when they're coming, and did my requested landscaping (over and above the lawn care) for a good price. They even let me know when there is extra work (like overgrown trees and such) that needs to be done. Again for a good price. I am older and need the help and feel very taken care of by Zach and his everyone of his team. They are friendly, easy to reach and great at their job.”

“Zach and his team are awesome. I literally do not even need to think about my lawn care, it’s all outsourced to these guys. Super professional. I reached out to a bunch of other local companies and most couldn’t even tell me who would come to do the work (I suspect they just get folks off of Craigslist). Zach even came personally for the first appointment because they were not scheduled to be in my area that day and my lawn was looking a bit overgrown. 100% recommend!”

“I have been using Marathon since getting my yard re-sodded last October. Zach, the owner, is incredibly communicative and so helpful with answering my questions and offering suggestions. I'd originally asked him about all my dead looking shrubs and if we should just pull them after Snovid but he cautioned me that they could be alive still and if I wanted to hold off a few months to see if they came back instead of just spending money to yank them. He ended up being right too, we were able to save them. His crew has been very prompt, I always get an email the day before they're coming or when they need to reschedule due to weather. They have also never forgotten to close our gate after they leave, which I'm thankful for as my Husky is a runner. Very happy with my lawn service and the clean ups they've done for me! Couldn't recommend them more (and I do, to all of my friends!).”

“We've used Zach and crew over the years and will continue to do so for his professionalism and quality work; with fair pricing to boot. We most recently used him for a leaf cleanup job that resulted in five hours of work and over 40 leaf cleanup bags. Great quality and fair pricing! We will be using him for any future lawn tasks/projects.”

“Zac and his team did a wonderful job on my yard. They cut my grass to the perfect height and edged fine lines around everything. They really worked hard with the weed eater cutting vegetation growing through the neighbors fences. I am going to use their service every 2 weeks. Great job!”
