Why choose us

Why Baton Rouge Homeowners Choose Hernandez Lawnscape

We could go on about it. Instead, here are the seven things that are real, checkable and different from the other companies in the area.

  1. 01

    Drainage that actually drains

    Find the last spot to dry, trench from there, and run pipe at a 2 percent fall to a real discharge point. Gravity first, pumps last, because pumps fail when the power does.

  2. 02

    Honest scope, not plant markup

    Big companies lean on heavily marked-up plants. We recommend what the yard needs. Advice before upsell.

    See how
  3. 03

    Licensed for irrigation

    Sprinkler systems are installed and repaired under Louisiana irrigation contractor license IC #0866, the credential most mowing crews do not carry.

    See how
  4. 04

    Free design on full renovations

    Larger projects include a design Gerardo draws himself in Morpholio Trace, so the plan and the build come from the same set of hands.

  5. 05

    One crew, start to finish

    Design, demo, drainage, irrigation, sod, turf and edging are handled in-house. No hand-offs between the plan and the finished yard.

  6. 06

    Warranty on what we control

    Irrigation, drainage and artificial turf are warrantied. Living plants cannot honestly be guaranteed, and we say so upfront.

  7. 07

    Thirteen years of neighbors

    Since 2013, with a 4.9-star Google rating and a BBB A+. Customers stay for years and bring their families' homes with them. Reputation is the product.

  8. “Gutters without drainage to discharge out to the street or a ditch is not really worth it. They just bring all the water down to your foundation.”

Guarantees

What we promise, and what we honestly cannot

  • 100% satisfaction guarantee

    If you are ever not satisfied with our work, contact us and we will make it right free of charge.

  • Warranty on drainage, irrigation and turf

    We warranty the three things we control completely: the drainage system, the irrigation system and the artificial turf installation.

  • Straight talk on plants

    Living plants depend on weather and watering after we leave, so we do not pretend to guarantee them. We plant what fits the site and tell you how to keep it alive.
