Rescue Lawn Care was founded in 2009 by Jay Hardy, a Wake Forest local and former full-time firefighter.

I wanted to thank you so much for the recent pine straw install. We've been relying on Rescue Lawn Care for quite some time to handle our regular fertilization and a few special projects from time to time. But, this recent pinestraw install went above and beyond. Not only did the crew place pinestraw, they took it a step further and trimmed trees and even picked up fallen limbs in some of the beds. Anytime someone asks my opinion about landscaping services, there is only one place I direct them. You and Rescue Lawn Care. Thank you for making our lives easier all while helping us to have one of the nicest looking lawns on the block.
We’ve been using Rescue Lawn Care for over 12 years and couldn’t be more satisfied. Their team is always professional, reliable, and delivers exceptional service. Anytime our lawn has needed extra attention, they’ve gone above and beyond to make it look its best. Highly recommended!
I hired Rescue Lawn Care to build a playground box and to sod our yard. From start to finish Jay (Owner) and his team did an incredible job. Jay is a professional who gave expert advice. He recommend the right type of sod for our yard based on sunlight and water. He and his crew were on time everyday and worked tirelessly until the project was finished.
I highly recommend giving Jay a call and getting a quote!
Jay did an awesome job handling my drainage issue in my yard and putting down sod for me. My back yard was a mud pit with a literal river running through it. Now it looks amazing and I have peace of mind that the foundation of my home is no longer at risk due to all of the soil erosion. Would highly recommend his services.
Four years ago we moved to Raleigh, bought a great house but inherited a less than attractive yard desperately in need of attention, Thanks to a referral and a client of Rescue Lawn, our yard now looks exactly like Augusta National. Thank you, Jay, and your wonderful team of experts!
