About Us
Sunshine Lawn & Landscape LLC is a family-owned company serving the North Central Lakes areas for 20 + years. Bill and Stacey started Sunshine Lawn Care in 1994. They believe that with hard work anything is possible thus creating our company, the most reliable lawn care company in the area. After 20+ years we have changed our name to Sunshine Lawn & Landscape LLC. We now offer a complete line of lawn services for the residential homeowner or the commercial business owner. We believe by offering our customers one company that can “do it all,” we will simplify people’s busy lives.
Also note: We want our customers to be happy with us and the services we provide. We do not ask you to sign contracts. We prefer your word and our word to mean something ….(call us old-fashioned). We just ask that if you decide to cancel please give us the reason why so we are able to better our services. We also ask you to please notify us right away if you move or sell your home. Our services will resume each season unless you have called to cancel. This results in you never having to worry about the work getting done. It also cuts down on notifying each customer as we know you are busy. Just one less thing for you, the homeowner to have to worry about 🙂
