My experience was good. They always left a written a report of what they found and what they were doing. So far, the lawn looks good.

OK--didn't really notice much in the way of cores removed--maybe the grass was too thick.

The machine was too large for my small irregular shaped lawn, and also could not manage on the one hill I had. As a result the actual aeration missed all of the edges of the lawn and did not cover very well. This was a riding machine and what needed to be used should of been smaller to be more accurate and pull plugs of dirt versus a rotating grate that did not work very well. Although responsive in initial contact, was hard to get date scheduled, I had to contact multiple times and then was assigned a date that did not work with my schedule, I was able to adjust; but I'm the one who had to adjust when I asked it could be a day later or earlier I was told no. The person who did the work was very nice, but I would not use this service again as the machine was not suited to my small lawn.

Response from Tuff Turf Molebusters
All aerators are manufactured around a centered base of gravity to avoid tipping and increase pressure downward. There are not any aerators that can get in the very edges of a lawn without going into nearby: woods, landscaping, bushes, etc... Customers are notified several times in advance of service to ensure they are prepared.

My lawn was too large for the deal so they wouldn't honor it. I asked for a refund. It would have been nice for the lawn size to be included in the fine print of the deal.

I never would have found Tuff Turf Molebusters without Angies list. Not sure their corporate name would have drawn me to them for general lawn feeding. However, they had a promotion on Angie's list and I decided to give them a try. Overall, I obtained good results. By the end of the season the grass was much greener and fuller than it had been in years. There were a couple of occasions where I needed to consult with Tuff Turf and they were always cordial and professional. I will definitely be using them again next season.

Purchased a "big deal" from them based on a promotional campaign from Angie's List. Performed the service as promised. Loved the communication from the company with their calls to confirm days of service to the information left by the technicians when they were done letting me what was applied and what it was expected to do. Lawn looks great!

This was a Big Deal offered by Angie's List. Tuff Turf Molebusters contacted me immediately once I signed up and paid through Paypal. The asked me a few questions to make sure I didn't have an invisible fence or lawn sprinklers and any other miscellaneous hidden items they may encounter. They also inquired if I had a fenced in yard and the width of the gate entrance for their machine. They were very thorough with their questions and explanations, which made me feel comfortable as I was not able to be there when the service was performed. They explained they will text and email me one week prior to the service and then again the day before the service. They did do that and explained everything again through the emails. They even provided me an alternate date if weather prohibited them from coming on the original date. They even provided me a picture of the tech they were sending out. Tuff Turn Molebusters were there the day they said they would be and I could see the results when I got home. However there was no mess on the sidewalks or drive, it was all contained in the lawn. Very professional and easy to work with. They did what I hired them to do and it certainly was a deal at $47. Should I ever need any of their other services, I would definitely give them a call.

The moles were initially removed in June. I noticed the moles were back in August. I called them to see what they could do and let them know that it seems like such a short turnaround and a waste of money to remove them for 2 months. I was told I should have put down a border repellent afterwards. I was never told I should do that. When I asked what they could do for me, it was suggested I pay another $275 to restart the program or take care of it myself. What a waste of money!

Response from Tuff Turf Molebusters
We never guaranteed that moles would not come back after our program is done. We were hired in April and caught some moles right away. By the time the program ended in June the mole activity was gone. We cannot control what happens after the service ends. Mole control requires maintenance. We suggested the homeowner spray the border himself as an inexpensive option to paying for another program. This may or may not have worked since the majority of our control comes from killing moles with traps or bait. Traps or bait are more complicated than a border spray which is why we did not suggest them. We offer a 20 visit program for a full season of coverage, but a 6 visit program was purchased. We still have time this year for another 6 visit program to take care of those new moles that moved in.

We have had Tuff Turf Molebusters provide lawn service (fertilizer and weed killer) for several years. Our lawn is always immaculate and they are always responsive to any questions or concerns we have. We also had them spray for mosquitoes last year (using a coupon offer) and we did not have any issues with mosquitoes for the rest of the summer. We will probably have them do an aeration later this summer as the lawn could use it. Overall, we appreciate the notifications we get, the ease of access to information, their responsiveness, and true professionalism.

Satellite imagery allows us to provide quick responses to our customers. It also allows for a much more accurate size, leaving out human error. We always provide a picture with the area that we measure for clients to view. If there are any discrepancies, they need only let us know and we will make adjustments.
