I do not have to be home when they come but they do leave notification that they've been there. We've used them for years. Our lawn looks pretty good for the most part. The above cost is per treatment.
Description of Work: They come and take care of the lawn so it doesn't have any weeds. They fertilize the yard. They occasionally aerate the lawn. They come out around 5 times during the summer.

We haven't had any problems with pests since they've been out. I do not have to be home when they come. The above cost is per treatment.
Description of Work: They spray the outside of the home for bugs. I think they do it at least twice during the summer.

Terrible! Because the lawn area was not properly prepared for the new grass seed, their entire effort was futile, and the affected lawn area remains nearly bare. Thus their guarantee was meaningless. I wrote a letter to the office manager demanding a refund of grub prevention cost, but never received a reply.
Description of Work: I had paid for grub treatment in addition to regular service (fertilizing, etc.). Despite treatment, which was done in early June '07, grubs infested and destroyed a portion of the lawn in August. A Scotts representative inspected the damage and told me that I was covered under their guarantee and that the grub-damaged portions of the lawn would be either re-seeded or re-sodded. Some weeks later (mid-September), other Scotts representatives came and scattered some grass seed over the damaged lawn areas. However, they made no attempt to prepare the damaged area for the new seed. They neither removed the dead grass, nor did they rake or otherwise prepare the soil for the new seed. In other words, they didn't follow Scott's own instructions re-seeding a damaged lawn! Result: Almost no seed germinated.

I have been using them for five years and I like them because they keep my lawn looking okay, even though it doesn t look great now because of the weather. I also appreciate the fact that they haven t killed my other plants. We pay for each treatment.

We have a yearly contract with them to do the lawn, although we have taken advantage of the other services that they provide. The tree and shrub treatment is a separate charge from the lawn treatments. They provide a prepay discount. They are knowledgeable and provide a good service. They will come out between visits if there is a problem that needs to corrected.

They haven t gotten rid of the creeping Charlie in my lawn. I sent them an email one time. They sent an automatic response that didn t mean anything, because they came after I told them not to. They don t schedule a date. They just come around, so it s hard for me to rate punctuality.
Description of Work: I hired them to get rid of the weeds. They fertilized and did aeration in my 60x120 foot lot. The work was done on the back and side yard. It took them six to eight visits. I paid them for the whole year to get a discount.

They do a good job with the yard. They come out as scheduled and I don't have to be there when they come, which is more convenient for me. The lawn looks good and they are always willing to answer any questions I have.

I am not pleased with the fact that I still have weeds even though they come monthly. I feel with the price they charge that the weeds should be dead. The lawn looks terrible at this time and they aerated and planted some grass seed and that is not growing well either. I will only continue to use them until I sell my home and then I will not be using this company again.

This is my second year with them. I am so very pleased with their service. I have the best looking lawn in my neighborhood. My neighbors see my lawn and ask me who I use. Now they are all hiring Scotts. I have used other companies in the past, and Scotts is the best.
Description of Work: Scotts lawn care fertilized and applied grub control to my lawn and Ortho, which is a division of Scotts Lawn service, sprayed around the foundation of my home and detached garage for pests. Price reflects five pre-paid lawn treatments for front and back lawn and 1 foundation spraying.

They call before each suggested treatment to see if it is okay for them to come out. I asked for a de-thatching which would have been a couple hundred dollars, but my guy said that it wasnt necessary, which saved me money. I can manage my account on line or do it the old fashioned way. They were very easy to work with.
Description of Work: They came out and gave a detailed estimate including taking measurements and testing the soil. They recommended a program where you can pay up front and they come out eight times per year. I selected to pay for one treatment at a time and they allow me to cancel any individual treatment I choose.

The grass got green, but I had to deal with tough weeds around the perimeter of the lawn myself. I feel like I got and paid for more treatments than I ever intended. I believe I was told they would always call before coming (and I assumed that would be how I would avoid additional treatments), but they never did. Final treatment was for aeration and over-seeding. They told me that is something that needs to be done in October, but a guy showed up in September unannounced and I had to turn him away. He said he came early because they had too many jobs scheduled for October. I told him that wasn't my problem. The aeration cost $51.84 and the over-seeding cost $103. It may be I misunderstood and that they told me over-seeding would cost that much, but somehow I was under the impression that aeration and seeding together would be around $100. Their bills say, "For your convenience, service continues from season to season." I told them not to come back without my stated permission.
Description of Work: Hired for series of fertilization treatments from March through October. "Project cost" is for multiple standard treatments at $51.84 each plus grub treatment, aeration, and over-seeding. I do not have an especially large lot for an older suburban house.

We have been using this service since the beginning of this year (2006), and we are very happy with the results. Our lawn remains green and weed free. Everyone we have dealt with has been very helpful. When our neighbors asked who was treating our lawn, we recommended this outfit without any reservations. I've used a couple of lawn services in the area, and so far this has been the best.

Initial fertilization was great. Follow up weed control was very poor. No follow up.
Description of Work: Fertilized the lawn. Needed followup on weed control. Due to return in one week, never called or showed. I called back and they said it would be done within 24-48 hours. No call, No show. I called back a few days later and was told the request has been made however couldn't give me a date other than when they would be back for a regular lawn fertilization.

Didn't have a great experience with them last year, but figured we'd give them one more chance. The second treatment of the year, Luis the tech didn't TREAT the lawn. Just left a bill, no posted sign, actually left the gate open to appear as if work was completed, came home to a neighbor dog roving in my yard. Called to complain, Michael the service manager said he'd take care of it. Never heard from him again, and nothing was resolved. They just showed up for the 3rd treatment this week and the *same* tech, Luis, was about to leave without treating AGAIN (yes, just another bill) before I caught him after watching. What did he do in return? Overfertilized the lawn and I now have brown, dead patches over 30% of the lawn within 3 days of the treatment. Didn't know enough at the time to realize it. I've canceled my service, wish I would've done so much sooner. Avoid at all costs. Repeat, DO NOT USE.

Very prompt and responsive. Came and gave the estimate right away, did the work - as promised - within a week. The service person left a note describing the work that was completed. He even noted that my grass looked a little thin in spots and left directions along with a bag of grass seed for reseeding! Free of charge!
