Senske Lawn & Tree Care began as a small lawn care and pest control company in 1947 by Bill Senske in Spokane, Washington. During the 1960's, chemical weed and pest control began to grow, expanding the family business.

Chris expanded the family business into new territories including Yakima and Kennewick, Washington. Today, the company headquarters are located in Kennewick, Washington and helps supports all branch functions and growth. Today, Senske has developed quality and competent staff in an array of service areas who can offer residential and commercial services including: lawn care, tree care, weed control, grounds maintenance, pest control, irrigation services, Christmas Decor holiday Lighting, and snow and ice removal.

We have no complaints. The people we've dealt with have been accommodating and the lawn looks good. The only issue has been their bookkeeping system is a little confusing.

They do a really good job. They are in the ballpark. We had quite a few people come trying to do our lawn. They are very professional. There are six visits a year. There was just one worker that came out. It doesn't take them very long to put down the spray. Maybe twenty minutes. I can't complain. They switched people around, and those people no longer work for them. What they could do is keep an eye on their employees, and their work service. They need to follow up on their employees.
Description of Work: They fed the lawn and did a weed treatment.

They came a couple weeks back. It went fine. They could have had there price be better and I called them about a problem and they didn' t fix the problem but I didn't call them back and tell them that they needed to fix the problem. They had put down the weed eat I had some cheek grass, some kind of bad grass, and I called them to tell them about it and they came out but it took a long time for the grass to go away and it was like where they kind of burned it what ever it was. It was okay but I could have called them back and said you know it didn't get rid of it right away. They could have been a little more clear.
Description of Work: He mowed my lawn. It's for bug treatments and weed eating and all of that.

I don't have any bugs in my house since I've been using them, I've haven't have like a tiny spider here or there but that's it and by tiny, the kind you can barely see. I don't have big spiders in my house, I'm happy.
Description of Work: We've used Senske Pest Control for our bug spray. They do our pest control. They come to our house every 2 or 3 months.

After the first service was completed we were told the follow up treatments would be around 6 week intervals. I requested to have a call before each service so that I could put away our dogs, which are sensitive to the products, and unlock the gate. The first service I received a call that they would be out on the following Tuesday but we had already scheduled the first service for Monday. So I called them and they said that they have it down for Tuesday. I changed our house scheduled so that my daughter was home to keep the dogs in on Tuesday and they came and treated. The same thing happened on the second service and on this service they came a day early when my daughter was not at home and the little dog was outside and they treated with her in the backyard. We also had an issue with the billing. I pre-paid in advance for a year of service but apparently the Money Order that I sent was not received so I contacted the issuer of the money order and found that it had not been cashed. I contacted the main office of Senske and explained that i was waiting on a refund from the lost money order. Dealing with the issuer of the money order is a whole different issue but after 2 months I finally got my money back. I then contacted the Senske main office to pay the bill. They would not accept the full payment that we had originally agreed on and wanted the balance due for the services that I had and then pay for a full year. I tried to explain to the gentleman on the phone that I had an agreement, what happened with the money order and the service issues that I had and would like to pay the $235 or so and continue with our agreement, he said that he could not do that and that if I want to pay for the services performed then I could start a whole new years worth of service. Needless to say I paid for the services they did and asked them to not come back and that I do not want to use their service any more.

Effective lawn services but seemed like a lot of chemicals in a short period of time so I am changing to an organic company. Cost was also a concern.

The first thing they did was cut away and haul off a large area of junipers that had overgrown beneath the pine trees. This was located on a hill beneath our home. It was not an easy haul away. The tree climber cut away all the dead wood, and it was extensive, on 2 approximately 50 foot pine trees. He did a very thorough job. All the debris was hauled away and the area left very clean. this job took them about 4 hours. I was very pleased with what they did and how much they charged. I would definitely call on them again in the future. I was also able to use their $50 coupon.
Description of Work: I had 2 very large pine trees trimmed off of all the dead wood, from bottom to top and a large area of junipers cut down and hauled away beneath the trees.

We moved into a 10 year old house but for the last 10 years the yard was not taken care of at all. We moved here from Spokane WA and the bugs and weeds are different here so we thought we would have a service get our lawn back in shape. We started in March and by the end of July we hadn't seen much difference. It just didn't seem to be doing well at all so we went to Zamzows and got the right info for what was happening to your yard and in a week our lawn looked better than it had all summer and it has been HOT! We cancelled our last 2 bookings with Senske and am now on Zamzows yearly plan. Much better products, much less money and we have control on when it is done and how often- although we have to do it ourselves. However, Senske did a great job on getting rid of the aphids on our tress- they were being eaten alive and looking bad- so we will ask them back for that next year. They also gave our 3 big maples a deep injection that is systemic and will last a year. They look much better now.
Description of Work: Spread fertilizer and was supposed to spot weed but it was done poorly- they missed most of them. We had to re-do the spot weeding ourselves. They would have come back out but we needed to get the weeds done right away and they were 2 weeks out. This happened once before in the late spring.

They have been very good and I have had no complaints about them. They perform the service and so far I have been satisfied with them. They come on a regular basis when they have to and keep me aware of when they are coming. They do their treatments and are very professional while doing so.

I said it all above. I will use their service again because I really need their help and I kknow that they have a good reputation.
Description of Work: They were very prompt and courteous. I didn't like the sales pressure though. I ended up spending about $150 instead of $40 because they talked me into services they thought I needed in addition to what I asked for. I know, it's my fault. I could have said no.

Did not go well
Description of Work: I had new sod put in my back yard last year. It was beautiful until the Senske treatment person burned most of it off by using too much fertilizer.The manager came out and said he would make it right in the spring. Instead, their "arborist" came out and told me I didn't have enough sun in my back yard, and that was why the grass died.I had two new estimates for replacing the lawn. Both reputable companies said the lawn didn't just die....it was burned.Don't use Senske. They don't know anything about lawns, and especially new ones!Via SurmelisBoise, Idaho

I think it's a national chain with individual franchise holders. They said what they would do and gave a price and that price matched what we payed in the end. The results were very good. I think the price was reasonable for what they did.
