Don’t know we have not heard from them since July 2017.
Description of Work: Mattingly serviced our yard for 3 years. This year our grass was dying. Steve Mattingly treated in July & said he was going to have someone come to look at it. That’s the last we ever heard from them. My husband and I sent them numerous emails, texts and left numerous messsges on the company phone wanting them to call to let us wanting to know why our grass was dying. No one responded from the company. Because we paid ahead for the year we wanted what money owed to us refunded but no one would respond. One day in the mail was the a refund for the full amount we paid them at the first of the year to treat our yard. To this day no one has ever contacted us. We went w/ another lawn company and found our yard is dying because of grubs. Our question is why didn’t Steve Mattingly and company know that???

We called them yesterday, and they were out today. We normally just use them for perimeter pest control. They do applications in the spring/fall. They are always very nice, and courteous. They are family owned. If you pay for the full year, you receive a little discount. We have never had any problems with them.
Description of Work: They cut our grass.

We did not like the lawn service. It was not a good experience. We knew we had a problem so we had them out. It started out just fine but it kept getting worse and they came out and said we had a mold and we thought it would be treated with whatever it needed to be treated and it just got worse, and worse, and worse. It never did improve any. They were just very blase about it. We were paying for lawn service so we expected them to solve it but it didn't happen. We just weren't happy with it at all. We went with another one. When we started with the porch and the driveway and all that, we told them to stop because we were going to go ahead and start the other work. I don't know how much really was their fault because if you have a mold problem, it happens some way but they did nothing to solve it. I won't totally blame it on them, but they did nothing to correct it. I'm sure my husband has done some research at that time. Price is not the motivator to me as much as what he reads in the rating that he looks for. I imagine he paid a pretty price for it but it's not the highest. If they were on the property for 5 minutes, that was probably very generous. We just weren't happy. We have not been happy with most lawn services. Every year we get pretty disappointed. We used to have a beautiful lawn and it seems like we can't get it kept up. The treatments aren't good.
Description of Work: Mattingly Lawn Care did lawn and yard work and lawn fertilization and treatment. We had the full service on it. It was a yearly package.

There's a lack of contact. They never called me or talked to me or anything. I thought the yard could have looked better. It did before with the other service. I'm thinking about changing. I did try to use them for shrub service and stuff and they didn't even respond to me. I wanted them to do more service but they weren't interested but I'm not life and death on it. They were clean and cut looking. They're nice people. I probably will use them this year.
Description of Work: I used Mattingly. They did fertilization and weed control. They come about two or three months.

Description of Work: Was having turf thickness issues - actually lack of thickness. Called them based on my neighbors results. Ray provided me an estimate for slice seeding and aeration that beat everyone else hands down on price and exceeded my expectation on the outcome as far as yard appearance after the seed germinated. They use a far superior blend of fescue grass than others. Am going to hire them for full season lawn service for 2015 to replace the provider I had been using for 2-1/2 years.

We lost our previous lawn care business. Actually, he was at our neighbor's and my husband walked over and talked to them. When they finished at our neighbor's, they came right over and did our lawn care application. They went above and beyond in customer service. They were at our neighbor's yard and they said they had time to do it today and they came and did it.

My experience has been pretty good, and he is reasonable. I really like his service, and how he is a very people oriented person. Not only does he cut, but he also cleans up everything. I have no complaints for him. We also don't really have to call him, he is pretty timely. He is excellent, and he had even given us additional tips on how to cut our grass. Everything really looks great now.
Description of Work: They normally do anything, but they maintain the lawn for us. They also come weekly for us.

I am not satisfied because their product did not work and they refuse to provide a refund. Controlling weedgrass is a one step spring process. No later treatments have any effect because later in the year the seeds have germinated. They put in writing, season long protection...and such was never received...and they refuse refund for the failure by the Mattingly Brothers to fullfill their written commitment.
Description of Work: They were to provide season long crabgrass and weedgrass preventer under the Trade name Barricade. They have been unable to prove that said product was provided. This product is a "pre emerge" product that is supposed to stop the seeds from germination. This early spring only application is the only way weedgrass can be controlled short of killing all grass. I chose Mattingly because he said he would use an extra cost product that he would guarantee would stop the problem. The lawn ended up loaded with weedgrass looking as if no product whatsoever had been applied as a pre emerge treatment.

Response from MATTINGLY LAWN CARE
The member contacted us in March to give him and estimate for lawn care at his residence. In our conversation he mentioned to me that other companies in the past had been unable to control his lawn weed problems-that just maybe they weren't applying the product correctly or that it was watered down or mostly water. I don't comment on the practices of other companies as I don't know them. I told him I would take a look at the lawn and give him an estimate for applying a crabgrass pre-emergence product. Since it was March and the lawn was somewhat brown still due to winter dormancy, it was difficult to distinguish all the different weeds present-and a note on the estimate indicated such. I estimated a single application to cost $615.00. The state of Indiana requires sales tax be paid on the entire amount of an application. The sales tax at 7% is $43.05 for a total estimate amount of $658.05. Approximately 2 weeks later he again called to discuss the estimate on his lawn and again told me he intended to sell the house wanted the lawn to look its best and that the grassy weeds always made it look bad. As a follow up to that comment, I suggested to the member that since he were selling the house soon priority should be given to controlling the broadleaf weeds (ex: dandelion and clover) since the dandelions were just days to weeks away from blooming. His was response was that he wasn't sure how bad it would be and that maybe he would end up doing that, but not at this time and he may be interested in an estimate at a later date. We went on to discuss the application, but no warranty was given to him for this application as our satisfaction guarantee applies only to those customers on the Mattingly Gold Standard and Platinum Programs. I offered the member our Gold Standard Program-and 50% off his first lawn application if he signed up on that program to which he showed only interest in the our early spring application which contained the pre-emergence herbicide and fertilizer. He says in his complaint that he expected weed grass control or a full refund and that I agreed to those terms. I did not agree to those terms or recall anything like this in our conversation or even the uttering of the word refund. If a customer wanted me to agree to a full refund to warranty an application, I would not and did not agree to that. If a customer is not on a full program, such as our Gold or Platinum program, I have little control over the success of the lawn going forward. If he would have been on one of our full programs, we would have gone back and treated for these weeds to correct the problem. With unusually high amount of rainfall this season, we have in fact re-sprayed weeds for several our customers who are in fact on the Gold or Platinum program. In his correspondence to me, he stated "If you provided no pre-emergence that is theft..." I supplied him with the invoice from my supplier which contained the exact number bags to treat his lawn. It was fertilizer with prodiamine crabgrass preventer as the active ingredient. I have attached this invoice as well. It was for 19 bags and each bag covers 11,500 square feet. He has approximately 5 acres or 218,000 square feet of lawn. We didn't fail our assignment. We were hired to apply crabgrass pre-emergence and we did that with no other lawn applications received from us. Soon after we made this application, the member called to ask if we could give him a quote on controlling his dandelions since they were beginning to bloom and I told him I would send him an estimate for controlling the dandelions which I did and this service was not performed. In looking over the documents he submitted to the BBB, I noticed he had included an article about the Indiana Home Improvement Act. I am aware of that law and it doesn't apply to lawn care. It appears to apply to structures and dwellings and references made to infestations as highlighted with yellow highlighter are vague and appear to apply to things which infest a structure or dwelling, not the lawn. My impression is that it may apply to a landscape installation where there would be hardscapes or specific warranties made on plant material purchased. (Ex: trees, shrubs). Since he was not on our Gold Standard or Platinum program and received only a single application, I cannot give him a refund. I did offer him more than the single application he received and gave him an estimate on doing a second application (though that still would not have been enough for our satisfaction guarantee). I have been in the lawn care business since 1994 after graduation from Purdue University and I know that having a nice looking lawn doesn't come as the result of doing just one application. The very best defense against any weeds in a lawn is to grow the grass as thick and dense as possible in order to discourage weeds. But with only one application from my company this is difficult if not impossible! Our guarantee is stated in our advertisement piece he received (copy attached). I try to be very thorough with all of my customers and prospects and ask probing questions so I can give the customer the best advice or program to achieve their desired results. I don't think his expectations were realistic or reasonable.

We have a plan, so they come out 5 times a year. They do lawn feed and wheat prevention, and they also do aeration. We are satisfied with their service. The yard looks much better and a lot of it has to do with the products they use. They use quality products and come at the appropriate time for the feeding. They are very professional and are willing to answer any questions you have. They seem knowledgeable and are willing to give advice. I think their prices are competitive.

I ADVISED STEVE THAT I DIDN'T WANT FERTILIZER IN MAY, JUST THE WEED TREATMENT. HE ACCIDENTALLY FORGOT TO CHANGE MY PLAN ON THE COMPUTER, SO I GOT THE FERTILIZER ANYWAY. I CALLED HIM TO TELL HIM, AND HE IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME NO CHARGE, DUE TO THEIR MISTAKE. HE WAS VERY APOLOGETIC. I'VE USED MATTINGLY FOR OVER 10 YEARS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST MISTAKE THEY'VE EVER MADE. THEY ARE VERY REASONABLY PRICED, ALSO FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. I'D RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE!

THESE FOLKS ARE GOOD PEOPLE... THEY HAVE A VERY HONEST HARD WORKING REPUTATION... I THINK MAYBE THEY LOST MY PAPERWORK OR THE MESSAGE NEVER GOT PASSED ON. HOWEVER, AFTER ASKING TWICE I WAS NOT GOING TO ASK A THIRD TIME FOR SOMEONE TO COME OUT. MAYBE THEY NEED SOMEONE IN THE OFFICE TO KEEP A LOG OF PHONE CALLS TO RETURN.. NOTIFICATIONS SENT TO CUSTOMERS, LAWN CARE ESTIMATES TO BE DELIVERED, ETC... I WISH THEM WELL THIS MOWING SEASON.
Description of Work: I CALLED THEM AND ASKED IF THEY WERE STILL TAKING NEW CUSTOMERS. THE ANSWER WAS ''YES'' WHEN I INDICATED IT WAS FOR LAWN CARE.. I SAID, ''JUST MOWING THE GRASS.'' I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE AN ESTIMATE BY THE END OF THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY. NO ONE CAME. I CALLED TO SEE WHAT THE NEXT STEP WAS SINCE NO ONE CAME. I WAS TOLD AGAIN SOMEONE WOULD BE OUT IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS. NO ONE CAME OR CALLED. I CALLED ANOTHER COMPANY.

STEVE AND RAY MATTINGLY HAVE BEEN HELPING ME WITH MY LAWN FOR YEARS. DUE TO A MARITAL STATUS CHANGE, I MOVED INTO A DIFFERENT HOME WITH A MUCH LARGER YARD THAT REQUIRES A RIDING MOVER. HAVING NO KNOWLEDGE OF RIDING MOWERS, I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MATTINGLY LAWN CARE. NOT ONLY DID RAY OFFER SUGGESTIONS, HE WENT WITH ME TO PURCHASE MY NEW MOWER EVEN AT THE EXPENSE OF LOSING ME AS A GRASS CUTTING CLIENT. IF THAT'S NOT EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. I WILL CONTINUE TO USE MATTINGLY LAWN CARE FOR MY LAWN TREATMENTS. THEY ARE THE BEST!
