Response from Tuff Turf Molebusters
I have contacted Angie's List about getting the refund to the customer. The service that was purchased was for the landscape beds. Not for the lawn. If there are ever questions about a service, please call or email to clarify.

Description of Work: Tuff Turf Molebusters came out to my residence and performed a yard aeration. They came out in a timely fashion and did a professional job. The equipment they used did a very good job (plug corer). I would definately recommend them w/o hesitation.

Description of Work: I had a hard time getting the right time to be here when they got here. They could not give me a close time . So I had to leave and have my grandaughter come stay while I was gone . She said the lady did a good job, but she did not really know much about it being a teenager and never seen it done before. She said she felt sorry for the lady as she had a hard time finding my address. She would have been sooner. Coming from Bryon Center, she should have been given directions from Co. or have a GPS system with her.

Description of Work: they sent me an email to schedule a visit and I told them the days I would be available . they came out the next day and never left a reciept or even that they had done anything. we called the phone number to ask what is going on. the yard did not look "cored". they said the ground was to dry and needed to be watered first. they emailed me multiple times to schedule a revisit and they gave me very nice information (but it was after the fact). I wanted someone to evaluate the lawn also but the person who came out just seemed to be guessing. they did come out and redo the lawn so that was a deal but the communication was terrible. If your looking for a lawn service this is probably not the knowledgable company. they might be great at mole killing ,I dont know. sorry for the negative attitude but I spent a lot of time trying to communicate my needs and I felt more confused at the end.

Response from Tuff Turf Molebusters
I am sorry for your dissatisfaction with our service. We take great pride in our service and communication. We work on routes and have to provide the service when we are in your neighborhood. We told you we would let you know when you were scheduled. Our email indicated that if the lawn is dry you should water your lawn for best results. The lawn was very dry when we aerated, but our technician knows that you knew we were coming and that you were warned about the lack of moisture in the ground. Upon hearing your concern, we dispatched a technician to look at your lawn. We decided to aerate it again at no charge to you. We rescheduled your aeration and notified you of your service date You requested a lawn consultation, which we usually charge $50.0 for non-fertilizing clients. We did not charge you for the consulting. We informed you that you had Dollar Spot Disease and possible old insect damage. There was no active insects, so we could not confirm that the damage was caused by insects. We did confirm that it was not grubs.

Description of Work: Service provided for chipmunk elimination/removal. 1 initial visit for setup of 8 boxex (16 traps), then 4 more visit-checks. Inconsistent checks: 6d,3d,7d,6d, but also forgot to pick up last visit so I had to email as to when they were going to pick up, since now it was 2 weeks later (actutally this became an extra visit on their part. I checked 5 of the 8 boxes and still found 2 chipmunks and 2 or three mice, thus elimination of problem was not solved. Only guaranteed a certain amount of visits (4 checks, 1 initial set-up visit). They did provide good email communication. Think service is expensive if not for half-price offer-BUT even then the problem was not solved. For those who want to to know type of traps used: large plastic boxes, size of large shoe box with cover, one hole at each side. Inside box two large mice traps plus sprinkling of sunflower bird seed. Once one box top was ajar, with all bird seed eaten, rodent escaped. And other times the chipmunks or mice (yes, mice were found too) ate birdseed and left. One week no chipmunks/mice were found. Program started 8\22\12 then 1st check 8\28\12 caught 9 chipmunks, 1 mouse; 2nd check 8/31/2 caught 2 chipmunks, 1 mouse; 3rd check 9/7/12 caught 0 chipmunks/mice; 4th check and should have been final check 9/13/12 caught 2 chipmunks, 2 mice, 1 vole. They forgot to pick up the traps so emailed them 2 weeks later as described above..at that time I checked and found 2 more chipmunks and 2-3 mice on 9\27\12. (remember this date was an extra, but would have ended 9\13\12) . End result is the problem was not eliminated, not even with 5 checks. Note: Prior to service I had bird feeders but stopped a month or more before using service and no longer feed the birds.. This service also tells you to stop feeding your birds while they trap rodents, but if you do not want continuous problems with rodents, bird feeding must be eliminated forever, and no throwing out stale bread, crackers for birds either.

We never promise to eliminate animals. There is no guarantee when dealing with an animal in its natural habitat. We caught 15 chipmunks and some mice/voles in 3 weeks. The traps were working. I suggest you continue on with another couple of weeks of service if you want to control more of the animals. Once again, we cannot guarantee that we will catch them all, but you have 15 less chipmunks now than at the start of the program.

Description of Work: a full summer's worth of mole control, mosquito misting, lawn fertilization and weed control. Always on time & professional. Interestingly, the mole control is the one thing they have not been completely successful with. Just to be able to enjoy the outside without being eaten up is worth the investment.
