What recent reviews say

Strong start and real results earn five-star praise, but recent reviews paint a pattern: Smiling Lawn collects full upfront payment, then goes silent. Customers report incomplete aeration and edging, grass planted incorrectly, and snow removal that stopped mid-season. Disputes over scope, ignored calls, and refunds withheld unless negative reviews are deleted. A handful of satisfied customers credit staff like Muhammad and Waqas, but the last two months show escalating complaints about responsiveness and follow-through after payment.

Praised for

Watch-outs

disappears after full upfront payment

no follow-up or communication
upsells and disputes over scope
fails to complete contracted services

Best for: customers comfortable paying full upfront for single, immediate projects like sod installation, not ongoing seasonal contracts.

Think twice if: you need ongoing care or plan to pay in full upfront; recent reviews document communication breakdowns and unfinished work after advance payment.

Strengths

knowledgeable staff advisors
wide service menu (aeration, overseeding, mosquito treatment, etc.)
named staff (Muhammad, Waqas) praised for efficiency

Worth knowing

Weekly mowing, garden beds, tree trimming, mulch and stone work arrive on schedule and stay clean. Crews listen to concerns and often add work without charging extra. One detailed complaint about incomplete mulch coverage and weeds, combined with no response to follow-up, stands out sharply against 86 percent five-star reviews praising speed, knowledge, and value. The business names crew leaders (Mitchell, James, Guneeta) and serves Mississauga's L5L and L5N areas. Long-term clients cite consistent quality at reasonable rates. A customer who paid $175 per hour labor felt planning fell short, though other reviewers cite fair pricing and full seasonal coverage.
