Lawn still was filled with dandelions and weeds even after free return visits. I had stripes on my lawn from area's that the fertilizer missed. I had used Trugreen for 25 years and the past few years the quality has gone down and the price has gone up. Got a new service and after 1 application the dandelions and weeds were gone and my lawn looks better than ever.

It is $200 for the year. There weren’t really any differences from the last time they were here that I could notice. Sometimes I don’t even know whose doing it, I can only see the effects. Everybody that I have dealt with there is very accommodative. Nothing really needs improved upon. I have been using them for several years.

It turned out fine, I?ve been happy with their lawn care. I subscribe to an annual subscription with them and they come out at the appropriate times. I pay not that much really, just over $200 a year, a season. They call before they come to make sure you know they?re coming, and the gates or whatever is opened so they can get in. They do it very quickly, in fact they do it so quickly that my husband doesn?t think they?ve been here half the time, but I can see them. I think they do a good job. One of their representatives was here yesterday, as they do every year, trying to sell me within their perimeters of spraying the bushes and trees for insect infestations. I really don?t have that bad of problem and not a big believer in spraying poisonous stuff all over the place. They had a good sell price for it, but again whether I agree with the basic service or not, and I don?t. I don?t want that service. If I don?t want it, it wouldn?t be very fair to give a good mark for it. Their other grass treatments are effective. Another thing that I like about that company is that if you notice anything starting up, crabgrass or weeds or a new kind of weed has invaded, they come and treat it for no charge. They are very responsive. They have a huge clientele, they come out in an effective responsive way. They don?t leave you hanging for a week or something. I?ve been using them for several years and plan to do so.
Description of Work: They treat the lawn for weeds and crabgrass. They only put insect treatment if it’s needed. I think they covered pretty much everything that’s needed, I rely on them to diagnose the situation.

Their products are good and the only issue I has was customer service. They wanted to call every day wanting to discuss more service than what we signed up for.

turns out their process can not be applied to flower beds without damage. however beyond the work (I cancelled the service prior to start of work). their corporate processing departments called us 14 x in one day to sell us service we had already purchased through them and ignored several attempts to remove ourselves from their lead generating process.

Initially setting up the service was pretty easy, except watch out and hold them to their original quote. I called a few weeks prior to getting started as I was shopping around. They quoted mean original deal with a special they were running and said they stored my info in their system for when I was ready to go. When I called to set up, they wanted to charge me more. I persisted and got my original deal after the rep talked with a manager. It took them a little long to come out to start initially and they kind of had an attitude when I called to ask because it had been past the time frame they told me. They ended coming out next day. We have a brand new yard with sod. My yard is not as green as I would like. Also our weeds just keep increasing. I have called them three times about weeds and each time they have come right out to take care of them. The service men were professional, polite and seemed knowledgeable and took time to answer all of my questions. I received a follow up email each time service was completed. They told me I would notice a difference in the weeds in a few days. Unfortunately the only difference I could notice was more weeds. They are out of control now and I'm not happy with the amount of weeds due to the amount of times they have been out here. They told me this is just a hard summer to control weeds, but this is unacceptable to me. I plan to switch to another company.
Description of Work: Performed two or three routine fertilization treatments and came out for weed control twice.

Price and quality were excellent. Billing is another question. Had automatic bill pay. Payments taken out with no service performed. Had to call to have service performed (happen twice). Also had problem with automatic payment bill due to a credit card expiring (whch I corrected). Corprate office called regauding payment on 1 treatment and understood my concerns and said local office would follow up. Local office never followed up instead a collection agency did who were rude, insulting and unprofessional. All service people who came to house professional and polite. The billing is my issue.

I hired TruGreen to take care of my lawn fertilization. They started in the early spring and have applied a total of 3 treatments to my lawn. I decided to go with TruGreen because they offered the TruNatural all Organic treatment system. This system only fertilized the lawn and did not apply any chemicals to treat for weeds. My lawn took a long tme to green up at the beginning of the year and I noticed several areas in which the lawn was burned after about 1.5 months. As we started moving into the summer I had several large areas in my yard that were pure yellow with no sign of improvement. I called TruGreen and the service rep came out and said the yard looked green but needed to be cut higher. (It wasn't green.) I was having the lawn cut at 3" but asked my lawn service to now cut at 3.5". The next time TruGreen called me (they call often trying to sell you more services) I told them I did not want any additional services but I wanted them to spot treat all the weeds and yellow patches that were in my yard. They never did. The yellow spots continued to grow larger and yellow patches were starting to spread through my yard. I called them again and requested the Tech to call me so I could speak to him directly. For two weeks I tried to reach him but never did. I called a second company to give me an estimate on taking care of my yard. They gave me a huge writeup with issues in my yard. I then called TruGreen and told them I wanted to cancel my service and they asked me to allow a manger to call me. I agreed. He never called, but instead came to my property and left a note on my door. He wanted to change my service from TruNatural to their chemical based service and said he would send out two people to treat both my lawn and trees and shrubs. No one ever came and he never called me. The next week I called and cancelled my service.

The work they did was fine and I had a decent looking lawn but they did not proactively solve issues. One year they applied too much fertilizer and burned the lawn but they did take steps to solve the problem after I complained. The main issue I have with them is that they are constantly trying to sell added services literally calling daily, haranguing you to spray your trees due to some infestation of some sort or other, or apply grub control, aerate your lawn, add soil conditioner or what have you. The kicker is that I've moved and don't even have a lawn any more. I've explained this and they said they'd take me off their list numerous times and yet they still keep calling!
Description of Work: They provided lawn and tree care services. I used them for about five years or so.

We used them last year, but we were not happy with them. They were always trying to sell more than we want. We decided not to use them again, but they showed up anyway to do our lawn without asking first. I was even at home, and they didn't even bother to let us know or ask if they could proceed. I also did not enjoy the constant marketing calls they made to us.

Tru Green was very aggressive on their tactics of trying to up sell additional services, all of which were very expensive. I'm on a fixed income and could not afford it. They were also very persistent, calling me literally every day, sometimes twice a day, offering new services. I have been trying to contact them to cancel it, but I get no answer from them.
Description of Work: I had an annual contract with Tru Green for them to fertilize my lawn and do weed control. They were supposed to come in on an as-needed basis.

Tru Green did a fine job putting the weed killer down. They are doing a good job and they seem to be really professional so far. They do several lawns around here and everyone seems to be fine with them. They seem reasonable in terms of price and I do not think they are outrageous.

After first two treatments, I was very suspicious about whether they were really fertilizing my lawn because my grass looked bad. On the morning of June 14, I was at home with a clear view of my front and back yards. I did not see a TruGreen truck or employee fertilizing my lawn. In the early afternoon, I left home to run a few errands and when I returned, there was a TruGreen flag on the lawn and a bill on the door indicating that my lawn had been fertilized that morning. I called the company and told them that my lawn had not been fertilized and I would not pay the bill. This incident confirmed my suspicions that they were not fertilizing my lawn. I canceled my service with them for the rest of the season. DO NOT USE THEM! They are dishonest and they do not provide the services that they bill you for. They also constantly call your house and harass you and use scare tactics ("there is an invasion of Japanese beetles in your neighborhood") to get you to buy more services.
Description of Work: Contracted with TruGreen to fertilize my lawn for the season. Paid $68 for first and second treatment. I trusted that they would do the work that they were contracted to do. They are dishonest- DO NOT USE THEM! They constantly call and harass you and use scare tactics (there is an invasion of Japanese Beetles in your neighborhood) to get you to buy services that you don't need.
