Grass Roots Lawn Service

Lawn Fertilization & Treatment, Lawn and Yard Work, Pest Control

About us

Hi! My name is Marcus Hoone. I own a local, family operated lawn fertilization and weed control specialized company. My company, Grass Roots Lawn Service, has been in business since 1983 serving the greater Indianapolis area. My dad, Joe, started the company and I began working with him in 1995. I then got my BS in Agronomy from Purdue University in 2000 and began working full time with my dad. in 2008 I bought the business from him. I run all daily operations and have stayed small intentionally in order to provide my customers with the very best experience and service possible. All work is done either by me or my brother...we don’t sub out any work so you can rest assured that if you hire us, you always get us at your home or business. Having your lawn work done by someone with a strong knowledge base means you can expect a higher quality treatment that gives you better results. Also, just as important, you have an experienced eye always on you lawn with each visit, looking for potential issues before they are a problem. If there is ever an issue, we proactively address that and alert you. There is not any extra charge for this and many times the solution won’t require additional services or expense. In the long run, you get a healthier, greener lawn with us!

Description of Work: They provide quarterly lawn service. Quick but complete service calls. On one ocassion we had a few weeds emerge after treatment. With one phone call they were out the next day to reapply. That took care of all weeds. They even followed up with e-mail contact to see if we were satisfied. Company is small compared to other firms used in our neighborhood but very, very professional, courteous, responsive and competive on price. We are very pleased with company and it's service.

We contacted Grass Roots Lawn Service to get an estimate for treating our lawn for weeds. Marus was prompt in getting us an estimate, which we accepted. The first treatment was done as soon as weather permitted. Our yard, now less the weeds, looks great. Our experience with this company has been very good.

This is a service package for one year. There is just one application for herbicide and fertilizer and this is done on the first visit. They are thorough in checking the type of grass so they use the correct chemicals. They were prompt in giving me an estimate. They call a day ahead to set up a schedule and they are flexible in scheduling. They have improved the quality of our lawn.
Description of Work: They apply herbicide and fertilizer on the lawn. They also put on a weed preventer later in the year.

JOE AND MARCUS HAVE TREATED OUR LAWN FOR ABOUT 8 YEARS. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE THEY PROVIDE. AT OUR PREVIOUS HOME, SEVERAL OF OUR NEIGHBORS SWITCHED TO THEM AS A RESULT OF OUR SERVICE, AND THEIR FAIR PRICING. THEY ARE NOW IN THE SECOND YEAR AT OUR CURRENT HOME. THEY COME ON SCHEDULE, DO THE TREATMENT, AND LEAVE A NOTE ON THE DOOR AND LAWN. NO DISRUPTION OF OUR SCHEDULE.
Description of Work: YEARLY TREATMENT FOR LAWN. INCLUDES 5 APPLICATIONS PER YEAR. PRICE BASED ON YARD SIZE. I THINK OURS IS AROUND THIS AMOUNT, FORGOT. PLUS, THEY GIVE A DISCOUNT FOR PAYING ALL AT ONCE IN THE SPRING.

I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR FIVE YEARS. JOE & MARCUS HOONE (A FATHER AND SON TEAM) ARE FANTASTIC. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE IN NEED OF A LAWN SERVICE. IF THE INITIAL APPLICATION DOES NOT KILL ALL OF THE WEEDS, THEY WILL COME OUT AND RE-APPLY WEED CONTROL. THEY HAVE BEEN A JOY TO WORK WITH.
