Great, they do as they are instructed.
Description of Work: I use Ryan Lawn to fertilize my yard and keep the weeds down. They do a great job. I have had problems with other vendors that don't listen to specific instructions. I have several areas that I have to overseed every spring due to shade. They remember to avoid those areas with the crabgrass preventer which allows my seed to germenate. They are very professional.

I contacted Ryan's in late spring/early summer of 2009 for an estimate after a negative experience with one of their major competitors. The tech, Jeremy, provided a thorough estimate and plan of action. He explained why it would take time to get my lawn looking nice. He also provided an estimate for my mother's yard. We both began service with Ryan's and saw immediate improvement. We both opted to continue service this year and everything that Jeremy told us would happen this year has - the weeds are gone, the neighbors comment on how nice our lawns look and we were the first green lawns in the neighborhood this spring. Jeremy also reseeded Mom's front yard. For the first time in 6 years, she needs it mowed weekly instead of every two weeks. When her sprinkler system sprang a leak and nobody could find it, Ryan's sent out a tech. Jeremy was in the loop, did not like how things were going and got involved to make sure Mom's best interests were kept in mind. He did a great job of seeing it through and a supervisor came out and found the leak and made the repair. Afterwards, Jeremy returned and reseeded the patch damaged while the repair was being made. He even checked it again this spring and added a little more seed. While Ryan's may be a little higher than others' estimates, I get personal service by the same person every time who has taken time to learn about my yard, answer my questions, outline a long term plan of care and calls back the same day when I leave a message. If I call to report some rogue weeds, he arrives either that day or the next and takes care of it. As long as Ryan's keeps up the good service, I will continue to use them. I like the way my lawn looks!
Description of Work: Customized lawn applications within a larger plan of care for my lawn.

I am very dissatisfied with the outcome. I followed the directives given to me by their "experts," but have not seen any appreciable difference in my backyard after a year's time. Last summer, after all their "attention" to my backyard, I saw no growth; it was still barren and dusty. When I asked my consultant why there was no grass, he responded that it was a "bad season" all around town and that I just needed to water it faithfully, due to the heat. I did just that, but it didn't yield any results. To this day, my backyard is a wasteland. Last Fall, I contacted someone else to give me an estimate and the informed me that the soil was so depleted that I should use organic compounds to break it down before it would even be amenable to any kind of new growth. Needless to say, when a new agent called me this year asking me if I was ready to renew my contract for this year, I told him "NO."
Description of Work: I contacted Ryan to feed, seed, and maintain the anticipated lawn. I asked the consultant what could be done about my backyard which was totally devestated and dead; should it be amended?, etc. He informed me that aeration was all that was required. I followed his advice and placed my trust in his experience and expertise. The backyard was aerated, seeded, fertilized, and whatever else he felt was necessary.

They are excellent and very popular. They cleaned up very nicely and did a great job. The price was pretty good because it was a large tree, it was a fir tree and they had to ground out the stumps. I would continue to use them in future and actually they are going to cut some branches off the tree.

They did a great job. After they put the iron in the tree it was great the next year. The experience was great. There was an arborist that came out and he was great and everything was great. They came when they said they were going to come, it cost me what they said it is going to cost and the arborist did a fine job. Their price was fine; I mean it was what I expected. I would use them again if needed.
Description of Work: I have used them for some tree work and it was for a tree that was ill. I had a tree, it was a clump river birch that had Chlorosis or had low iron and they made holes in it and put iron that was suspended in a liquid so they pumped that into the tree.

Their technicians are very well educated on the treatment part and they point out areas of problems and give suggestions. We had them replace the whole front and side yard because we had a weed that was taking over and choking out the grass. They killed off the grass and did the feeding. It was a pretty long process but they did a very good job and my lawn looks great. They just tell us when they are going to come and they come and do their job. Their prices have gone up and there was a little bit of dispute over their pricing last year. When I asked for special treatment for few of my shrubs and we ended up paying a lot more. They tried to explain to us the reason for the high price but it was very confusing. They finally resolved the confusion.
Description of Work: They do the maintenance of my lawn and trees. They do the pest control in the shrubs and do the fertilizing part as well. I have been using their service for around 6 years.

I still use them for lawn service, but for tree service I do not think they really inspected things to see what was wrong. If something looked fine, they just assumed it was okay.

They are a little expensive than others but they seem to make it up with punctuality and some extra stuffs. If we have any issues like I had some plants which I wasn't sure as how to trim those and bring them up correctly. So they sent certified arbors who know what they are speaking. They gave written estimates and they have always been punctual.

Ryan's was very responsive and delivered quality work - with one exception. A plum tree was pruned back and appeared to be having problems through the remainder of the summer. The following Spring it was dead. I called Ryan back, they came out to inspect and said it was "root bound". After spending 3 weekends working to remove the tree, it was apparent from the extent, direction and thickness/length of the roots that the tree was not root bound. I don't know the risks to the tree associated with pruning, but I hired Ryan based on their reputation/experience to minimize this risk. Obviously, their assessment of the problem was not correct. I have other trees that now need to be pruned. Don't know that I will choose them again. Overall, their work was solid - just this one exception and an explanation that was not the case
Description of Work: Pruning of trees to both shape as well as keep from growing too far into neighbor's yard.

My husband is paralyzed. One of his few pleasures is to sit outside in spring and early summer to enjoy the garden and lawn. I simply CANNOT take him outside now. It makes me cry. A neighbor just told me that we could be fined by the City of Leawood for neglecting our lawn! With regard to the questions above, "will I use this company again?" - I cannot say until I see how they solve the huge problem that they have created! Has this happened to other people? They did tell me that there were other lawns that received the wrong fertilizer. I am really at my wits end. But I have NO choice but to keep working with them. I cannot cannot afford to pay for an entire new lawn, and darn it, I had one a year ago! I just want my lawn back.
Description of Work: I don't know where to begin, I am so disappointed and angry. Last May my lawn came up absolutely beautiful. Ryan Lawn had done a good job. But then they came to put down fertilizer and weed killer, and succeeded in killing my lawn. The company's owner, Larry Ryan, came out and promised to have a lawn for me very soon. But all summer long, every time they seeded, the grass only grew in patches, then disappeared. Mr. Ryan told me to wait until spring 2009 and they would really go to work on my lawn. So I agreed. Two weeks ago they put down grass seed again and we watered as instructed. Sadly, the only place where actual grass grew was on a former flower bed that had not been sprayed last May. Then, for some reason, they came out last week and fertilized the patches of grass that were trying to grow and once again put down weed killer. I did not know they were going to put down weed killer. Had I known I would have objected. Weed killer on bits of grass trying to grow. As a result that application killed the patches that were struggling to grow. Now I have dirt with yellow patches of dead grass sinking into the mud that is my yard. My yard is dirt. Clearly I am not top of Ryan Lawn's list. I have been patient, polite, hopeful. I had to telephone to get the grass put down to weeks ago. Right now, Ryan Lawn knows that my yard is a mess. I called tonight and said that NOW I expected to be No. 1, and I will be reporting online how the problem is being addressed, now heading into a second year. I expect to see Ryan Lawn put their SIGN on my lawn, and come every day to look at it and take care of it until brown mud becomes green lawn. I have maintained for months that they need to remove the top layer of soil because nothing grows on the "over fertilized" dirt. They have decided to put down sod. I think they need to removed the contaminated soil before putting down sod, which will probably die as well when the roots reach the chemicalized soil.
