Contract did not provide the services advertised. Started off well for the first 2 visits. After that, they did not show up as scheduled with no phone calls to inform of cancellation. Often they would missed 2-3 scheduled times. They would even call up to tell us they would be there the next day and not show up. It took several calls to get them to show up and perform the services that were paid for up front. I ended up cancelling the service. Was promised that a manager would call to address the issues and they did not.
Description of Work: Contracted with the provider for annual lawn care contract. They only showed up 4 of the 6 advertised visits.

The provider never actually came out to my property to assess what services were needed. They would not come out until I paid them up front.
Description of Work: Provider lied to me about the services included in the package I purchased. They never wanted to come out to see the property, they just wanted a credit card before they would do anything. They must be clairvoyant. Getting a refund for a service I had signed up for 12 hours earlier proved to be a nearly impossible task. RUN from this company.

When I first called Tru Green about taking care of our yard, I was surprised that they did NOT want to come out and see it before giving us a price. They said they could see the size of the yard from Google Earth maps. Well, half of our yard is a very steep hill with ivy on it. I asked if they would have something to get rid of the ivy, and I was told YES. Well, it's now September and the yard still looks terrible. The service Tech has NEVER ONCE been on the north side of the property dealing with the ivy on the hill. There is crab grass and bermuda grass everywhere! No one would ever believe that fertilizer has been used on this yard at all, nor weed killer! They do come out, and place lots of signs on the door knob and in the grass, but ultimately the 'litmus test' is how the lawn looks and it's awful.
Description of Work: This is a grass service, and I still have terrible weeds, and the grass looks terrible. No one would ever believe fertilizer had been used on THIS yard!

We've been using TruGreen for several years and our lawn looks much better than most of our neighbors. Many neighbors have switched over or started service with TruGreen based on the appearance of my lawn. That should be testimony enough. They do a good job and will come back and redo a treatment if necessary.

This was a very negative experience. I do not have a contract with Trugreen. Instead, they came to my house without informing me, because the previous owner had a contract with them. I bought my house 8 months ago and have never heard from TruGreen. Despite my son's nanny being in the house, they did not knock or announce themselves. They proceeded to spray my lawn and garden with pesticides, thereby ruining and destroying my wife's organic garden. My son can't play on his lawn because the lawn is covered with pesticides. Again, there was no notice and no announcement. I have called TruGreen three times in order to discuss this situation and find an appropriate remedy, but I have yet to receive a call back.
Description of Work: The provider sprayed and laid pesticides to prevent grubs.

I prepaid 3 weeks in advance and had to call them a second time to remind them no one had come out to do the work. They finally showed but kept sending bills. I would call, telling them I paid 3 weeks before they did the work because of the 10% discount for prepaying. They would promise to correct their records, then I'd get another bill! After 3 months and numerous phone calls, they finally stopped billing me. They need a serious overhaul of their accounting system.

They have a contract with us and they come out every 60 days. They are good and they do a fine job. My lawn is green so they must be doing something right. I think they are a little expensive. I have been using them for a couple of years.

I called for lawn aeration. The company never showed up to perform the lawn aeration. I rescheduled three times and on each occassion, the company never showed up to perform the service, even when it was paid in advance. In the end I just cancelled.

This was a disaster of an experience, and claims in TrueGreen Sports' website notwithstanding, the Company lacks fundamental professionalism one would expect from a firm that specializes in "luxury" installations. Some examples: 1. The installation was delayed by nearly three months. 2. The installation was done unprofessionally. The installers destroyed not only our lawn in parts, but also our neighbors' lawn. Ultimately, TrueGreen Sports declined to cover the costs we incurred to repair our lawn and our neighbors' lawn. 3. The court was installed improperly and needed to be redone. The court had an 11.5 inch incline because TrueGreen Sports failed to level the ground before installing. 4. The nets were installed improperly. The one behind the court was improperly installed, and was off-centered, left a large gap between the fence behind it and the ground, and had 6 inch bolts protruding out toward the court at eye-level, which posed a significant safety hazard. 5. The yard was not relandscaped around the court, and instead the installer simply left it unfinished, with rock and rubble surrounding the court. Overall, the experience was miserable, particularly given the overpriced nature of the job. Given the amount of money you are likely to spend with TrueGreen Sports, before considering them, I strongly recommend you contact me and I'll provide you with documentation (including video) demonstrating the poor quality of the installation.
Description of Work: We hired Bob Steimke to install a 1/4 basketball court in our backyard and finish the landscaping surrounding it.

Response from TruGreen Lawn Care - 5729
This customer makes claims that are mostly invalid. He alleges that we did not complete the work in a professional manner and then describes a number of things that were not done to his satisfaction. What he does not do, is tell the rest of the story, and that makes a huge difference. Perhaps the most important point to understand is that the customer and TrueGreen mutually agreed to part company, 2/3 of the way through the project, so of course, the project was not completed professionally and/or completed, period. We still had a number of issues to address and things to fix up, which we would have, if we had continued. Any complaint that we did not complete the work in a professional manner or fix damage to his yard is moot, because we were not there to complete the work, by the customer's choice. It is important to note that the customer did not fire us at the 2/3 point, but rather offered us the option to complete the work and fix the problems he perceived or let our subcontractor (with whom he negotiated a side deal) take over. We elected the latter. It is particularly important to understand why he wanted the subcontractor to take over. The project was to build a partial basketball court in his back yard. We were to build a base and then install a Sport Court type tile system with colored tiles and pre-painted court lines. Normally the base is concrete, which is expensive. We have had success making a base out of crushed stone and then wetting and compacting it until it is hard as a rock and then installing the tiles on top. Concrete makes a more perfect surface, but this is a good low cost alternative which the customer decided he wanted. My subcontractor does concrete work and told the customer that he could put concrete over the crushed rock for less than the final 1/3 payment to TrueGreen. The customer saw the opportunity to get a "good deal" and then worked to maneuver TrueGreen out of the picture. We were only too happy to oblige and take a small loss, because we found this customer to be unbearably demanding. Then when the concrete turned out to be more expensive, the customer turned back on us to make up the difference. We responded that we were no longer involved, and that he needed to work out the matter with his new contractor. To further his cause, he has constantly tried to find excuses to drag us back in, most notably the alleged damage to his yard. Our contract, that he signed, advises our customers that there may be damage to their yards caused by heavy equipment (e.g. Bocats, Dump Trucks, etc) moving across the yard, and that we are not responsible for such damage, but that we will follow the route designated by the customer and make every effort to minimize the damage. We followed the route he designated, which infringes on his neighbor's yard, which was unapparent to us AND selected by him. The damages consist of one set of tire tracks and for a short stretch, ruts, and we had to cut across the corner of one mulched bed (per his agreement) because the space was limited. Even though our contract states that we are not responsible, we do in fact fix such things. In this case we would fill in the ruts with dirt and put on sod, and put down seed and straw where the tire tracks resulted in dead grass, but when he decided that he wanted our subcontractor to finish up, we were done, per his wishes. I am aware that our subcontractor did in fact address the minor damages that were done to his yard. The customer now alleges that there were "latent" damages and that at the time that he was not aware of the "totality of the damages", both of which are complete nonsense. The customer has a laundry lists of other items, most of which are moot, because we were not there to correct them and/or they really are not problems. The truth of the matter is that the customer is angry because he cannot get his way with us after the fact, and because I grew tired of his insulting e-mails and dished it back at him by e-mail, and now he is angry and wants revenge. Bottom line there is just no pleasing, some people. We do really good work, and this was not one of our best efforts for many reasons, but one of them was the absolutely insufferable difficulty of dealing with this customer. Bob Steimke-GM

Right now, I'm afraid I don't know if I'm totally happy with the service yet, because it seems like I ended up having more weeds after they came out. I will however fulfill my yearly service contract with them, but I do hope the results improve if I'm going to sign up for another year.
Description of Work: They fertilized my yard with their weed-n-seed program. I just signed up for their service, so they have only done one treatment so far. They charged me $54 per visit.
