Business highlights
34 years of trusted experience
Services we offer
Lawn & yard work, fertilization, treatment, tree care, pest control & exterminating.
We have used them in the past and the results have always been very good. They cost more because of the products they use but the natural products were just as effective as the chemicals used by other companies. With kids and dogs we are concerned about the type of chemicals used n the yard and the effect on the environment.
Description of Work: Price varies depending on what they do. This company fertilized the yard and did weed treatment throughout the summer.

Very professional company with a lot of contact via phone. They are eager to get their service completed. I can't speak to the efficacy because it is late in the season and not enough time has elapsed between the treatment and the review. I'm not an expert on pest control costs but we had a guy on the East Side who charged have as much and his service worked like a charm against spiders et al. Overall they seem to be very reputable. I'm sure others can speak to the quality of the chemicals they use.

They fertilized the yard as promised, gave a good discount for pre-paying, occasionally contacted me for additional services (which I didn't do) Grass was nice and green and 99% weed free. One thing, I asked them not to apply pesticide on lawn, even the free one. First application they put on they put pesticide applied signs in my yard, I wasn't happy about that. I emailed them and they acted like it wasn't a big deal, and said they didn't apply any but are required to put the signs in anyhow. I'm was left unsure. Also it seemed they always applied the fertilizer when it rained. I'm sure our lake ended up with most of the fertilizer flowing into it.

Thank you very much for the feedback. We are required by law to use a pesticide warning flag when we are applying weed control (or using any product that has a registered EPA number). The service we offered you for free as part of your package, an insecticide treatment, was not applied to your property at your request.

We've used them for the last 5 or 6 years. I pay annually and I get the discount at the beginning of the year. They don't use phosphates so it's a little more friendly. They don't use phosphates in their fertilizer.

I've been using them for 4 years. I've had them for 4 or 5 years. I've always had my grass fertilized four times a year. This year, I got weeds. They told me that to get rid of weeds, I have to fertilize it 7 times a year. I probably won't be using them next year.

This is a tough one for us. Weeds are controlled by post-emergent herbicide, and unfortunately there is nothing we can put down on your lawn which will prevent clover and dandelions from emerging. When we are visiting a property less often, there are gaps created where emerging weeds can get out of control. We always offer, as we did in your case, to make an application earlier to tackle the problem. The four application program you have scheduled with us is timed for the best overall control throughout the year, but it certainly is less effective than receiving regular applications throughout the season.

I've been using them for a couple of years now. They're reliable and reasonable. Sometimes when they disperse the product, it scatters all over the driveway. I have a senior discount so it seems to be reasonably priced.

I appreciate you letting us know about the issue with your service. As blowing the drives and walkways is part of the service you are paying for, I apologize this hasn't been happening. We have communicated to our field technician, and added your property to our field check list. Please let us know if this continues to occur. And thank you for the business!

They did the work all summer long. I signed up for the whole season's service and they did it. They're pretty responsive. The interactions I had with them were fine.
Description of Work: They provide two primary services and those are fertilizing and weed killing. I had weed problems in the backyard. Every year it sprouts up. Every year I have to call them and it takes them a few visits before they take care of it.

Thank you for the feedback. I've had the opportunity to review your account, and it seems the particular weed you are experiencing problems with is crabgrass. We treat crabgrass by applying a pre-emergent during the first visit of the season, and due to reoccurring issues with its presence on your property, we already have your account indicated so our technicians know to apply pre-emergent at the highest rate allowed by law. And yet we're still experiencing difficulties on your lawn! There are a number of factors which can affect the effectiveness of the pre-emergent barrier. We will be in touch in spring to make sure every precaution is being taken to stop a reoccurrence.

Please see above I will never use them again, Far to much hassle and they did not provide the service I paid for, I should not have to go to Ace Hardwarde and buy weed killers to fix the stuff that I pay them for.
Description of Work: I have used Natural Way for three years and this will be my LAST year with them, I have had to cal numerous times for weed control and after numerous re-applications still I have weeds. Every visit the tech tells me that I have a dull mover blade (It's sharpened monthly) so that isn't and why would that cause weeds to be in my lawn. Visit after visit the lawn was green and so were the weeds, And then I had a break out of nutsell/nutsedge and the lady I spoke with said that the only answer to this problem was tearing out my lawn......Well a trip to my local Ace Hardware and I fixed the problem, So what am I paying them for. The hassle to get them to get them to keep my lawn green and weed free took far to much of my time, So I guess next year they can go rip someone else off, And I loved the triple application in the middle of summer so the bill was triple for what I had budgeted for there for screwing up my budget for two month's "Thanks Again"

Response from Natural Way Lawn & Tree Service
I'm very sorry to hear about your negative experience with Natural Way, and apologize for the inconveniences caused by these issues. While issues with mower blades are easy to identify, as they tear at the grass blades instead of cutting them cleanly, you are absolutely correct that they in no way should impact the amount of weeds in your lawn. Although you have expressed your desire to terminate service with us after this season, my hope is that given the years you have used us this relationship is repairable. Regardless, it is important to us that you are receiving the service you are paying for. I will have our production team look into your account, and your lawn, and see if there is anything we can do to begin to make up for these issues.

Techs got behind during the summer and then tried to play catch-up in the fall by coming every 2 weeks to over-apply both fertilizer and weed-killer each visit (at $86/per). A manager came out and told me he'd send someone out to reseed places where the over-application had burned holes in the lawn. Tech came out in September and literally threw some grass seed on top of the burned areas. I requested they come back out and apply the seed properly, along with topsoil. By the time that was done, my sprinkler system had been shut down and it's late-October...too late to germinate. Very disappointed with services. Not what I was led to believe.
Description of Work: Lawn looks better but it's not done "naturally". There is nothing any more natural about their products or treatments than any other lawn service. Techs will opt to over-treat your whole lawn each visit rather than do the spot treatment advertised. Techs also do not arrive when expected, sometimes showing up weeks after days specified.
After installing a sprinkler system and new sod I decided to contract a reputable service to fertilize. I've been using Natural Way for a couple of years. The lawn has done well with their treatments. However, last year, 2014, I noticed "skid marks" left by the technician in several areas of my year. (Natural Way uses large heavy riding power equipment.) I asked that they used more caution in the future. Again earlier this year I found more "skid marks: in my yard. And again I asked the they use more care in the future. Last Friday morning, 8/28/2015, the skid marks were so severe that the lawn will not be able to repair itself. Then in the afternoon the aeration technician left skid marks so severe that of bare soil was uncovered. At one location a 5 foot length dirt track was left. I called a complained. Natural Way sent a man out with a rake and some grass seed. What is needed is re-soding several areas along with tamping down the ruts to level the yard back out.

I apologize for the issues you have had with your lawn this past week. We guarantee all of our services, and it is a reasonable expectation that any injury caused to your turf by our equipment is repaired promptly. We are scheduled to have a manager return to your property today to make an assessment and continue the repair process.

I had contacted this company to provide organic lawn care for my lawn. I spoke to the salesman about organic lawn care, asking questions about organic lawn care - all i was interested in was organic lawn care. He answered my questions and gave me a quote. Again - all we spoke about was organic lawn care - that was it. After reviewing his quote against one of his competitors, i decided to sign up for their service. When the technician showed up to do the first application - i made sure i was home - as i had more questions. The very first question i asked him was, "so you're spraying the organic solution today?" I was then told that he was instructed to apply the traditional, or whatever they call it, solution. Not the organic. Out of curiosity, i asked him to give me a price on the organic - you know the stuff i asked for in the beginning? He told me it was about double from what i was told i would pay. At that point i informed him that i did not want him to do anything. I immediately went inside my house and called the company and informed them that i would not be using their service. I got a call - why are you cancelling - so i explained - well you lied to me - you obviously tried to pull the old bate & switch. Initially they tried to explain that it was a misunderstanding, etc. But that too was a lie. Over the next 2-3 weeks, i got at least 3 more phone calls & emails. I had to explain to several people at this company that because they lied to me, there was no way i was going to do business with them - despite the fact that they kept offering lower prices - even to the point of giving me what i asked for - at the price they originally told me it would be. Finally they got the message on the last call - i emphatically told the guy that no one else needed to call me. After having lied to me, they seemed extremely over zealous to get me back as a customer. Perhaps if they would put that much effort into not lying to their customers - they wouldn't have to go to such efforts to keep customers?

I sincerely apologize to you for your experience with Natural Way. I am the representative that was in e-mail communication with you right after you cancelled services, so I am aware of the concern you were deceived intentionally by our sales team. I can only again insist to you that it was not intentional, although I certainly am aware it may appear so - it was why I immediately offered to provide this service at the originally quoted price. We made a serious mistake in the selling and scheduling of your services. Obviously we would want to make this right with you if possible and, if not, convey our understanding and sympathy for the inconvenience and irritation we have caused. I do not show in our records that anyone is attempting to contact you, however I will speak directly with our office and sales staff to make certain you do not receive any further retention attempts. Again, please accept my apologies.

They do a great job. My yard looks great. I haven't had any problems. If I have an issue, I'd call them and they'd come here. The customer service is great. Everything I ask them to do, they do. They're basically compatible with everybody else. They're totally responsive. I've only had one or two issues and I'd call them up and they take care of it.

They sprayed for fungus after they identified that that was what it was because my grass wasn’t greening. The fungus problem with my grass seems to be taken care of and I will see how it turns out this year. They get the job done. I think the price is a little high. I contracted with them again this year.

They have made one visit this year and it has turned out pretty well so far. That was free of charge. They made a bunch of recommendations but I didn’t think it was necessary. The soil has got a high concentration of clay and sand and they recommended that I have an organic fertilizer put down. The service has been pretty satisfying.
