It has been very good. They are very quiet and leave the bill on the door with out bothering me. I really notice a difference. My grass looks wonderful and the weeds are all gone.

There were some issues. They sent me a postcard with schedules on them and I wanted them to call before they came and that was about the only issue I had. I liked they service. The price was a good price comparing to the competitors. They were worth dealing with because of that.
Description of Work: I used TruGreen put some kind of oil on my trees and shrubs, throughout the year. They put insecticide on them when the bugs were out. Then they fertilize it when it was necessary. They do what was necessary for the trees and shrubs.

They do not follow their word. They told me I would have unlimited calls, but every time I called them because they didn't kill the weeds, they counted that as my next call. I canceled their service because they did not do what they say they would do. They were very apologetic when they found out they were losing me as a customer.
Description of Work: We used them for some yard services.

Getting through to customer service was difficult. I had to try 3 times (once was told to call back when they were less busy and I was unable to leave a message, once I was disconnected after being on hold for several minutes, and the 3rd time, it took 10 minutes on hold to get through). I was told they'd fallen behind and were still doing aerations into mid-June if I wanted it, but I declined. It was interesting that they didn't hesitate to call until they got my money, but then didn't contact me about falling behind.
Description of Work: The initial sell was strong--salesman called me once or twice weekly (about 4 times) until I decided to hire them. The first service, aeration, was to have taken place in late April or early May. Although my check was cashed, no work was done, and by the end of May, I called and asked for a refund.

The yard never improved over what I was able to do on my own. They said that the area's that grass would not grow well was do to the fact it was in the shade. Yet I have areas on the property that are in the shade 24/7 365 days a year and the grass was in very good condition. They told me on aeration and seeding would correct this problem. They were instructed to make sure they did not get seed in the flower and mulch beds. They assured me that this would not be a problem but they failed to keep the seed out of the beds. And did not make an effort to correct there mistake.
Description of Work: They were to fertilize and keep the weeds in control and improve the quantity and quality of the grass.

Last year I asked for an additional ONE-TIME treatment. They included it in my yearly service for this year. I asked to quit the service and was hung up on!!!! I am now on holding waiting to again attempt to cancel their service. OH ME.
Description of Work: I have them fertalize my lawn 4 times per year. Usually have to have them back to redo some of the weeds. I used to use another company which these folks purchased. Od company was great. These guys are a joke.

Scott is very reliable and hard-working. I can count on him to do thorough job. He is also honest, if the grass doesn't need cutting one week, he will let me know rather than just do work that isn't needed. He really cares about the job and he is a very nice guy.
Description of Work: Scott's Lawn care mows, trims and edges my lawn once a week. They also remove all debris from walkways and my driveway. I have about an acre of land that they take care of for me.

When we first watched the commercial for Scott's on TV, we didn t really believe that what they said was true. They said that your neighbors won t believe the green quality of your lawn once you use their service. Well, I am a witness to this fact. My lawn has never looked better. They always come on time, are very professional and clean. I won t use another service.
Description of Work: They fertilize our 3000 square foot lawn 5 to 6 times a year as part of an ongoing service contract.
