Peninsular was the first company to get back with me. They were professional and courteous. They explained their services in a very clear way. Work was scheduled and immediately performed. After initial treatments were made the schedule has been set up for all future treatments. I am very happy with the experience thus far.

Hired them 3 years ago when I bought my newly bought home with new sod. First year started fine, but by the end of the season, weeds started to show. The second year, more weeds and popped up in front and back yard. I called several times to complain and the supervisor was sent out and more product applied. Yard now looks horrible and so I suspended service. Not sure what went wrong but it wasn't getting any better so it was time to move on.

We just started and like pro lawn we give them 2 years to turn this yard around. Time and work will tell.
Description of Work: We had hired pro lawn and gave them 2 years to keep our brand new lawn looking good and weed free. And they failed. I contacted this company and their representative Mr. Brand told me in a 2 hour convo exactly what we needed to do to have a beautiful lawn. He told me the issues we had and how to fix it. With the other company my father in law would spend weeks pulling weeds. Mr. Brand said we shouldn't have that issue and promised to fix it. He gave me tips on how to improve water flow to the roots and told me that the thatch layer needed to go.

He was excellent and we were very very happy. They came out cus I live out near woods and couple of critters had crawled in. So they came out. They were really good. I really really like them. You sent me the coupon on 7/12 and I called them, let see if I have their bill here, on and they're an excellent company. I signed up with them for the year. They came out and said they said they come back anytime during the year if there are any other problems. I think they contacted me the very day I went online and took them. The coupon was date 7/12 and I used it very fast, it was like within the next couple of days. They came in and treated and went around the house and treated. We had a lot of rain and we had had rain. I haven't seen a bug in this house since they were here. It wasn't bad. I called around to other places before I did this and they were reasonable. They were good. Immediate responsiveness. He called and he was here before he was suppose to be here. You called them because of Angie's List because I had the coupon. They were right about where everyone else was but with the coupon it just dropped the price down. They had their grading with Angie's List and I just didn't know who to use. I've only lived here a couple of years and I really don't have a big. I had been on Angie's List and I've made it hings in the past and never had a bad experience using them. It's a nice service to have. They were excellent really.

We were really impressed. When we bought the house, it was a short sale so they left the yard eaten by chinch bugs. We first used a different pest control and did have improvement. We have lived here 6 years and they just left the yard for whatever reason. Then they came back but toward the end, I had a huge area in my backyard that was just killed by them. It was awful. So, I have come to appreciate the good services like Peninsular. He said that he could bring it back. He did without the resodding because that would have cost a lot of money. I just can't throw money at my grass. He brought it back. I would use him again and recommend him. They come when they say they are coming. You know what day but if something happens they let you know. They sent a letter one day that something has changed if it was okay it they came another day. I just appreciate good service when they do the job right.

I signed on with Peninsular Pest Control about six months ago because I was not satisfied with my old provider. I am now happy to report that I now have one of the best looking lawns in my neighborhood. The turf is super thick, weed free, and has very deep green color. Their employees are super nice and easy to deal with. They also have a very good website, where you can pay your bill, ask questions, or request a service call. I highly recommend them.
