We liked the Independent Lawn Service's responsiveness, so we added on additional lawn care services. Upon request, the company even called to remind us the day before about a service scheduled.

I have no assurance it ever happened. I understood they were going to leave a card of some sort by our door. I never saw it. Perhaps it was blew away or was lost and they did on fact do it. I simply don't know. I can say the tree that needed it the most doesn't yet look rejuvenated.
Description of Work: Supposedly they fertilized trees in our back yard.

Response from Independent Lawn Service
We are uncertain that this is a review for Independent Lawn Service. The review was done on December 22, 2013 for service that was supposedly performed on September 17, 2013. Our records show that the customer contacted us on May 1, 2013 and had purchased the wrong Angie's List Big Deal. She wanted services other than the ones she had purchased and we agreed to perform the services she actually had wanted. The services were performed on May 17, 2013 therefore we cannot confirm that this is our review. Nevertheless, based on the review we did check our records and found that all services were performed properly on May 17 and that all conditions had been properly noted on the invoice when service was performed. We also checked our records to see if there had been any direct contact with us prior to the December 2013 review on Angie's List. We could find no record of any concern or conversation after the service was performed. We always ask our customers to contact us as soon as their concern is noted so we can address the issue and resolve it in an expeditious manner. Upon seeing the review we tried several times to contact the customer to determine if this review was for Independent Lawn Service and to discuss any concerns. We have asked for a return call. The customer has not done so to date.

Will not know how the last feeding went until spring. The other applications killed nearly all of the weeds. I had the lawn aerated this fall for the first time. Will need to wait until spring to see the results.

I was not happy with the appearance of my lawn or my trees after they treated them over the course of all the treatments they provided. They treated my lawn for weeds, and my trees/schrubs for insects. I would not considered doing business with this company again and would not recommend them.

Response from Independent Lawn Service
Customer service and support is a primary goal at Independent Lawn Service. We try our best to advise and service our customers in the most cost effective manner. We will also advise them when the services they request may not meet their goals for their property. We advised this customer many times that the services she selected were not enough to support healthy plant growth and protection. The customer insisted the selection was all that was needed. Service was performed and well after the service date we were called to discuss a potential issue. Our state certified technician (with over 25 years of experience) met with the customer multiple times in an attempt to resolve any claimed issues. During those visits we made multiple recommendations that were ignored just as our previous recommendations had been. Interestingly, this same customer gave us a Page of Happiness award touting our expertise and knowledgeable technicians. An independent resource, initiated by the customer, determined that Independent Lawn Service had acted properly and fairly in its business dealings with the customer

Independent provided lawn treatment 6 times, including weed kill, fertilization, aeration, and overseeding. The lawn looks much better than before they began the treatments. I have signed up for their full service for 2014.

I have signed up for a full year of service (fertilization, weed control, grub treatment) with Independent for the 2014 season. I was given a very fair and competitive price with a nice discount for paying for the whole season up front. I look forward to satisfaction in their lawn services based upon the professional and thorough conversation with them and the good reviews I read on Angie's List. One important note: I was not pressured into purchasing more services than I wanted. The sales person made me aware of the other services offered but at no time pushed me to sign up for them.
Description of Work: I called Independent Lawn Service after repeatedly becoming disgusted with my current lawn treatment vendor's service department and invoicing. I was very pleased with my conversation with the sales representative at Independent who was very well informed and provided me with all the information I needed to decide to cancel my current provider and use Independent next season.

It has been good. I can't complain about it. There were no additional charges. They were prompt. They came out a week or two after I called them. They did a pretty prompt service. This was my first time using them. Their prices were a little high. I would use them again in the future.

Overall, it went well. The reason for not giving them an A was the damage that was done to my lawn during the aeration process.
Description of Work: I purchased an Angie's List "deal" to have the provider come out and do fertilizing, aeration and over seeding. We spoke on the phone to schedule the work, during which I received a pretty aggressive sales pitch for additional services (which I don't really mind and doesn't affect my rating for them - I just think people should be aware that you'll be pushed hard to buy more services). We did end up buying a mosquito spraying service from them (5 visits over the course of the season). The fertilizing was what we expected and the aeration/overseeding was scheduled for the fall. The aeration is the only place where I was a little disappointed. The equipment they used adequately aerated the lawn but the large tires on the equipment also chewed up my lawn in places where it was especially wet. The mosquito spraying service was fine - they came out at various times during the season and we noticed a marked reduction in the number of mosquitoes compared to last year. We'll get this service again next year.

A service provider can be rated by 3 considerations: 1. Quality of service: Independent was good--no weeds or dandelions... 2. Reliability: They came out about every six weeks without any prompting--just like they said they would. 3. Price: It was a fair price--not the highest, not the lowest...

Showed up timely - they leave information and updates about my lawn each time along with what was applied and what I need to do - if anything.
Description of Work: Used the company to do an aeration and then also used them all summer to treat the lawn. I have been very happy with the service and my lawn looks great except where there is too much shade in the back yard.

The service is very good. I am very satisfied with the work and I like the current condition of my lawn. I also like that I have not had to contact him since I started the contract last fall. They leave a description of what they did and leave a sign so I know they were there. It is very convenient and easy for me.
Description of Work: They are doing all my fertilization on a regular basis. They come depending on my needs. They spray for bugs and insects as well. They come at least once a month. I pay annually.

They come out periodically and I signed up for the full year maintenance plan. They fertilize the yard based on the requirements of the yard and the time of year it is. They also apply a weed killer to prevent weeds. That is basically what they do. This is my first year with them and they seem to be very consistent. Our yard looks better than it ever has.

They performed an excellent job for the season, using the granular fertilizer instead of the liquid form. They offered professional advice of what is needed for us. We can see the difference of our lawn and trees. They called ahead as requested so we can make sure our dog is inside the house. And they came on the date they said they would.

I bought the tree fertilization and pest control package and have been very happy with their service. I upgraded the Angie's list package but their service was still very reasonable priced, they are quick to reply to calls and emails, and their technician always calls a day ahead of time, which matters to me so I can keep my dog out of the yard that day :-)
