I have been using them for 10-15 years, a long time. I keep using them because they have not raised my price in forever, maybe because the owner and I belong to the same social group. But I did not know it; he might have known it, but I didn't. It costs about $800 yearly. I am happy.

Tech came and treated lawn. Usually don't see him when he gets here. My only problem is at one time brown patch treatment was free but now cost $20.
Description of Work: MRW treat the lawn based on what's needed. During this application they pretreat for crab control and sprayed for broad leaf weeds. No notification of larb application which doubles your service charge.

I continue to use them. This year I’m paying them every time they came out. The first year I paid for the entire season. I get a feedback every time they’re here. They leave me with the evaluation of the lawn. If there are any problems, they tell me if there’s something that needs to be changed or whatever. I’ve been very happy with them. I know I can get cheaper services, but not necessarily better quality.
Description of Work: I use MRW for lawn services. I’ve got them on a contract to do the whole season. They did last year and they’re doing this year as well. They do lawn fertilization and weed control. If I need fungus control or something like that, they do that as well.

It was good and convenient. I don't have complains. I went with them because I love them more of a local versus the national. They gave you options, recommendations and work closely with you.
Description of Work: I've been with them for less than a year. They come on a regular basis like one or two times a season to fertilize plants or pesticides.

It went very poorly. In the spring, you could still see the tracks where they had sliced the lawn, but there were large bare spots that looked like someone had dumped chemicals. No grass had grown and what had been a plush lawn looked like hit and miss grassy spots. A technician came out and inspected the lawn and indicated that the previous technician had not applied the chemicals correctly. Because it was mid spring, they said they were limited as to any repairs but would re-seed in the fall. I called them last week (6/17/14) to discuss my contract renewal but no one has returned my call in a week. I want specifics as to how they are going to return my lawn to its original look before renewing my contract.
Description of Work: They did slice seeding of the lawn.

Everything went well, my lawn has improved quite a bit. It looks very nice. The one thing I did not like is that every single time they came here, the technician would find some type of weed or grass that was not included in the original weed control treatments. If I wanted the extra treatment it was an additional cost. I don't think this is fair, weed control is weed control in my book, that is what I thought I paid for. They should haven been up front about this type of thing in the beginning, after all their specialist was the one who inspected my yard at the very beginning of the contract.
Description of Work: MRW, sprayed and treated for weeds and bugs in the yard several times through out the season. Applied lime, which cost extra. Spread a layer of topsoil and aerated the lawn and are now back in the fall for another aeration and over seeding which is extra.

Response from MRW Lawns Inc
[removed member name], Thank you for your concern. I am sorry if there were any misconceptions about what is included in your program. Our service does a very good job with crabgrass and other summer annual weeds and with 99% of the broadleaf weeds. We even include nutsedge as our broadleaf herbicide has a product in it that does a decent job controlling it in the summer. Your lawn has common bermudagrass. Bermudagrass (wiregrass) is a very aggressive perennial warm season grass that grows best in the heat of the summer. It requires special treatments that we do not include in our regular program. We have offered this program as an add on service for 5 years with good results. The applications are a combination of two herbicides and multiple applications (4) are required for adequate control. Once again, I apologize if our consultant was not clear on the limitations of the basic service and what weeds we include. We do work hard and try to set the expectations for our service so that the customer has a clear understanding of what they are buying, and additional treatment options available if they are interested. Thank you for choosing MRW Lawns, Inc. as your lawn care company. Please feel free to call if you ever have any questions or concerns. Richard L. LaNore Technical Director

They did credit my account the $60 and stopped any additional treatments.
Description of Work: I just started my lawn treatments with this company. After arriving home on 5/9/13, my bill was on my door for the agreed upon service. However, there was a recommendation for mole treatment. I walked the lawn and didn't see any evidence of moles; however, the next day I contacted the company to inquire about the mole protection service they recommended. I was told that they would send an e-mail for me to acknowledge before the service would commence. during this time period, I had a discussion with my wife, and had some additional questions, that I asked prior to giving authorization. On Saturday, 5/11/13, they came out and treated my lawn for the moles anyway. However, the technician indicated on my bill for this service, that I didn't have any eveidence of moles. I contacted the company to bring this contradicting issue to their attention, but they were primarily concerned with the second technician placing his comments on the bill.

Response from MRW Lawns Inc
[removed member name], I'm sorry we prematurely started the mole control program without your consent, Wallace should have waited for your confirmation email or, better yet, met with you on the property to discuss the problem and the program. To be proactive in fixing this error, we will no longer sell our mole control program without first meeting with the customer on the lawn. It is not our regular practice to make applications without customer approval. While our technicians are not perfect, we strive to make honest and proper recommendation for applications our customers could benefit from. We sincerely apologize if our actions concerning this case have in any way have effected your confidence in our ability to make recommendations to you and we vow in the future to strive to do a better job. Thank you, Wayne Spangler & Rick La Nore Owners of MRW Lawns, Inc.

We have just started annual treatment with MRW Lawns after finding them on Angie's List with high recommendations. The initial response to our inquiry was quick and the follow up in-person estimate was timely and professional. While the cost may seem high initially compared to other estimates we had, we believe that it will be well worth the investment. They are knowledgeable and thorough and because MRW Lawns specializes in actual lawn treatments and they are not generalists in outdoor or yard work, they appear to truly be specialists. We had our first treatment today and they left follow up material advising what had been done and provided us with feedback and also told us what to expect. Will update later if this doesn't turn out well, but we were told to be patient and give our lawn some time and we are very happy so far with the company, so wanted to post some feedback.

This company is AWESOME. My lawn was sodded. I started in the back (new patio). The tech walked me thru what needed to be done and my problem areas. The cost per sq foot was in line with other estimates. At one point after the service, I asked about brown spots. A tech came out to inspect the lawn. Since I was sooooo VERYYY pleased with the sodded area in the back. I asked for an estimate for the front and saved, basically did without, for several months to have it done. My lawns (front and back) are GORGEOUS! And just think it''s early April and still chilly. I can't wait for the first cut --- get ready for a picture in Home & Gardens! , I'm having them apply every thing else my lawn and 10 trees need, they leave not only the invoice but a comment to let me know what was done, what I have to do and how my lawn looks. Oh, before I forget... when you call it's like everyone knows you personally - so nice and courteous and very patient in answering my questions.
Description of Work: Professional, polite and on time. this applies to the technicians that go to the residence and when you call the company. As he inspected the lawn, he explained the prablems and stps required.

It went very well. A gentleman came to my home, and we discussed the choices of services, and I decided which ones I wanted. The company provided a discount since I paid for the entire season then. The company always notifies me when they will come. They also respond to any questions I have. They do an excellent job, and my lawn looks so much better. I highly recommend this company
Description of Work: I had lawn treatments (weed control and fertilizer). I had outside perimeter pest treatments. I had core aeration with overseeding of the lawn. I had compost applied to part of the lawn.
