I just cannot say how much me and my family LOVE Trutco. They are very professional, punctual, and responsive. My yard went from neighbors asking if they can put out fertilizer for me to them asking me who did my yard. My yard looks BEAUTIFUL! I tried using McCalla and Safari, however, they were rude and very disrespectful to me and my wife because we questioned there diagnostic (which was wong). My yard has received 3 yard of the month awards all thanks to Trutco! I highly recommend this company! From their office staff to their technicians, they are the most friendly , caring, and loving group of staff that we ever met!
Description of Work: They needed to green up my yard

This was the first time I used this company. I always try to use the little guy first. I have had terrible results with one of the big companys. I called late one afternoon about my new lawn that had problems. I was told Matt would be out sometime the next day. He showed up early the next morning and confirmed what was wrong. He told me he would try to get someone out that day if possible. Within two hours Doug showed up, and explained what he would do, and told me what I needed to do. I explained one of my big concerns was paying money for nothing . ( as in using a big named company and they take bout 4 minutes to treat your entire yard and are gone.} Doug was very precise as for spraying for sod we worms, and then used a hand spreader for the granular fungicide. He was very knowledgeable and a really nice guy. He seemed to be really intent on making me happy and on doing a good job. As for my yard-the sod web worms are under control, but I still have a fungus problem. In all fairness I know it will be hard to control when it rains most evenings. As far as TRUTCO goes, at this point {they have only been out twice } I would highly recommend them. I already referred them to a neighbor three houses down. Give them a call, I think you will be pleased.

Description of Work: My sister-in-law recommended them and I am so glad she did! We just bought our house last year and this spring the grass in the front yard was horrible, brown, dying so I gave them a call. It is 48.00 per month including the care of the trees and THERE IS NO CONTRACT. If you want to skip a month you can. They call you before they come to let you know there coming and then they charge your debit card automatically a few days later. Found out we had cinch bugs. They got rid of the bugs and we had to re-sod a couple of places on the lawn but now it is looking good; they also always leave a note in the door, letting you know what they did and what you have to now do (water, mow, etc.) So far I am completely satisfied and I love they we are not tied to a contract, but with service like this they know they don't have to lock you in. If everyone operated this way it would be a beautiful world~

I don't know if I got it through Angie's List. I want to say they came out 10 times per year. My lawn did not seem to get any better. There was no improvement in the yard. They fertilized my yard for about four months.
Description of Work: I believe we had Trutco to begin with for monthly spraying and fertilizing.

Response from Trutco
My name is Matt Siprelle and I am the owner of Trutco. I wanted to thank you for the sincere feedback you have provided regarding our service. I looked up our treatment records and we serviced your lawn a total of 4 times from May 7th to August 16th. When I called you the night before September’s service, you informed me you had already gone with another provider. Unfortunately, at this point it was too late to save your business. Had I known your lawn wasn’t looking as you expected I would have loved the opportunity to walk the lawn with you, better understand your expectations, and come up with an agreed upon solution. We see lawn care as a series of seasonal objectives that when put together reach the long term goal of having a healthy and great looking lawn. Every season and application is important to reaching that goal. On May 7th we started your service and applied a full fertilizer, weed treatment, and insect application to the entire lawn. In June we shifted our seasonal objective to the suppression of sod webworms. You may notice all the major local and national lawn care company’s in Jacksonville begin advertising sod webworm treatments around the end of June. They are chronic here in Jacksonville, and the end of June through August is considered the peak of sod webworm season. When understanding our treatment plan it is important to note the University of Florida’s research on Sod Webworms states: "Excessive fertilizing is a leading cause of outbreaks in lawns” & “control should be against damaging larva, not the flying moths” (Cultural Controls, Chemical Controls: https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in968.) Because treatment targets “damaging” larva, prevention is unfortunately not possible. This puts our service in more of a defensive mode temporarily. We replace nitrogen fertilizer with iron fertilizer, apply a contact residual insecticide, and spot treat (rather than broadcast) weed applications. Many lawn companies do not treat weeds at all during this period. Broadcasting a herbicide on top of an insect population is one of the main reason’s lawn companies kill lawns. Suppression of sod webworms with regular treatments is highly effective and critical to the overall health of your lawn. In Jacksonville, Sod Webworms populations begin to naturally decline in September and sharply decline in October. Our service returns to full nitrogen fertilization and broadcast weed treatments at this time. Our long term goal on all properties is to strengthen turf and increase density over time through seasonally appropriate fertilization, weed treatments, and insect suppression. Although we were only able to service your lawn for a short period of time, and felt as though we were reaching our seasonal objectives, we failed to see the lawn through your eyes and take full responsibly for any failure in communication. I sincerely appreciate your positive reviews on our professionalism, punctuality, responsiveness, and price.
