AWFULL! Terrible!
Description of Work: Wow! This company is dreadful! I called and spoke with Tim (their local lawn expert) and after 20 minutes or so of discussion decided to have my back yard aerated and seeded. The crew showed up and began their work. After about 25 minutes, I stepped outside and saw that they had destroyed my front lawn! They took a tiller to it and were not supposed to touch my front lawn! I called and spoke with several service reps to include Keena and they said the order was only for the back yard. The crewmember in charge knocked on my door and accused me of not taking up the dead grass in the front lawn. Duh, I told him that the front yard was not to be touched. He then asked for a trash can to place the dead grass in and I told him I can't place dead grass in the trashcan. I offered up lawn bags and asked him to dispose of. He rolled his head and eyes stating,"I don't know where I will take it." I was flabbergasted. He then said, "I will figure it out." The crew then left. A manager called me (John) and stated he would come out on Monday to see the front yard. I was at work so he left me a voicemail. He stated, "I matted down the grass that we tore up...plan of action I would like to go...do you want us to put seed down..." So, they charged me $188 for the back yard and now they want me to decide to have seed put down in the front yard where they tore up and were not supposed to touch. My front yard dead grass looked like Bermuda dormant. Nice and flat and brown. Now, it looks like a plowed farmers field. You heard it here. DO NOT use this company - King Green! Here are some alternatives: http://www.lawncareincharlottenc.com/ or http://atllawncareservices.com/ or http://www.atlantalawncareandlandscaping.com/ (there was no listing for King Green in Charlotte, NC where I reside). Nonetheless, same company running unprofessional crews and poor communication from the top down.

Description of Work: I had King Green provide fertilizer for my lawn for roughly two years. My lawn has never looked this bad in the 17 years we've been living at this residence. I don't know what they did, but it has weakened a good part of my lawn so I have bare dirt showing in most places. I asked them to come over in late November to diagnose what the problem is and they said it was due to fungus and stress from a hot summer. I know what fungus looks like and it was not there. Yes, it was hot in July, but August and September were mild and in fact I did have a good lawn until late September. In giving a stock answer they clearly show they don't care about my lawn, so I am not having them come back.

Response from King Green
The client and I talked just after the review was posted. I went out to the lawn that day and consulted with the techs and service managers that had visited the lawn. When I got out there I would have absolutely agreed with their assessment of the lawn in that it showed all the signs of heat/drought stress and a fungus problem. I would add that he has many trees on the property and that has its own issues. I always say that if I ever write a book on lawn care I am going to call it, "Trees are Bullies"!! :-) 2015 was the hottest year on record and 2014, when we began treating the lawn, was the next hottest. With all those trees, and the record heat, it was logical that the lawn would have suffered greatly. Trees compete for water and nutrients with the turf. They also block needed sunlight. As they grow bigger the areas affected by them naturally grow bigger as well. The only inconsistency with that is the timeline that the client mentioned. Normally, you would see more damage during the summer itself. I reviewed all that we did in that time and saw that we had only applied lime and dry fertilizer. Neither of which should have caused anything like what we are seeing. The grass that remained was healthy, there just wasn't enough of it! The client has always done his own aeration and seeding so I cannot speak to the effectiveness of that but he spoke about in the correct terms. The only thing we did that could have hurt the turf was to have applied WAY too much fertilizer but that would have hurt the turf in a different pattern and in a different way than we are seeing. Putting down a damaging dose of fertilizer, in the temperatures it was applied, is simply just hard to imagine. In trying to assess the situation the client mentioned that he did not put any products out himself but did have another company working on his trees and shrubs around that time. Unfortunately neither of us would have any way of knowing if anything they did could have harmed the lawn. Again, the pattern of damage would probably have been different than the very consistent nature of the thinning pattern we are seeing. In November our service manager went out and, logically, suggested their original thoughts of summer damage and he, at that time, and I, in December, both thought there was no aeration and seeding done. The client says it was done in late September and it began coming in well but then something happened. As we were out with Lime on August 9th and applied fertilizer one time in early September I am truly at loss as to what could have happened! All this said, we did talk to the client and have offered to come out and do some seeding and aeration as soon as the weather breaks this spring. This will be at no charge. Again, if the timeline the client suggests is accurate, then I am at a loss to find a cause either with something we did or even someone else did. BUT we will stand with him and help as much as we can!!

Description of Work: The weed treatments did not reduce our weeds. The winterization treatments did not do anything but kill the small amount of grass we have in the back yard.

Response from King Green
We are always sorry when clients are disappointed with our service. This case was probably more an issue of timing and patience than anything. We did not even get a full year to work with the lawn and the first year we have a lawn under care is always the toughest. It can be frustrating, especially for the client who expects things to get incrementally better with each treatment. We started working with their Bermuda lawn in the fall, just as it was going into its dormancy. In fact we never even got treat the Bermuda through its growing season as the client cancelled just before the warm weather, that would have activated this warm-season grass, got started. As the first step in weed control is ALWAYS a full, thick and healthy lawn it is not surprising that there was weed pressure during this time. We always provide free service calls to handle stubborn weeds and expect them the first year. The winter damage the client spoke about was just that, winter damage. The winter treatments we apply cannot possibly hurt the turf but the frigid weather we had last winter certainly can. We saw many Bermuda lawns hit hard with freeze damage. Some common Bermuda lawns were entirely killed by the extreme cold. I am sorry that I did not get a chance to talk to the client about this and explain that Bermuda, as warm-season grass, has real trouble with single-digit temperatures and can be damaged and killed by them. Proper fertilization and care during the growing season would have brought the lawn back again. I am sorry we did not get a chance to show the client that.

Our lawn was more weeds than grass and we felt it was way beyond our expertise and decided to hire a professional. I can't really speak to the long term results of periodic treatments as we've only had one thus far which has killed essentially all the weeds/our entire lawn (fertilizer and pre-emergent weed was put down) but I wanted to enter a review now because we've received such excellent customer service from this company. As novices in the lawn and landscape area, we've had several questions before and after the one and only treatment we had, all of which Dan Ochs at King Green has gladly answered. He's provided us with so much information and truly seems to love what he does. If the results we'll enjoy after a year of having them work on our lawn are half as good as the customer service we've received so far, we'll be thrilled. As nice as it would be to have immediate results, an undertaking like turning a lawn of weeds into one of grass sadly does not happen overnight! But I look forward to our continued use of King Green.

Thanks So Much! We are very happy to hear that things are going so well right from the start. Thanks for taking the time to file this report. The great strength of King GREEN is our people. When it comes down to it we are really just the products we use and the people who use them. It is important to have the best of BOTH! Dan is a life-long "Green Guy" and we are lucky to have him. He, as the rest of us here, may take turf a little too seriously:-) but while that may make us boring at parties, it sure helps our clients have nice lawns!!!

I contacted King Green on 8/12 and requested a lawn consultation and estimate. I was told that they couldn't get there that day but "how was Monday or Tuesday next week?" I explained that I worked from home and was very flexible when we could meet. Because of the high rating, I thought it would be worth the wait. Unfortunately, I never heard back from them this past week at all. I understand people get busy. A thirty-second phone call would have been nice though. I ended up calling another company Friday afternoon and they were here within an hour and by the end of the day, their main office had already communicated with me about options and scheduling. It worked out in the end. No hard feelings, but thought I would post my experience.

We are always sorry to dissappoint anyone but sometimes we do make mistakes. I am not sure what happened to this gentleman's information but it apparently got lost in the maddness of the season and fell through one of those cracks that organizations can have despite all the best intentions. As one can tell from our ratings, this is a VERY isolated incident and does disturb us greatly. I will contact the member to apologize and see if there is anything that we can do to make up for our error but it sounds as if he is covered for now. Again, this is very unusual and is not our normal MO. We do make mistakes and we will try to close up the hole that the member fell through as tightly as we can!

We switched to King Green this year and they have restored our lawn to a great looking specimen. We used to use another lawn care company (chain) but quality suffered and King Green was able to get the weeds under control. I especially like that they don't put nitrogen down when it is too hot on Fescue Grass which is the right way to deal with cool season grasses. Other suppliers have continued to use (slow release) nitrogen in summer which King Green correctly is not doing even if they could have made money on it. They have responded multiple times to our concerns about lawn disease always with professionalism and friendly attitude. They even gave us suggestions how to change our watering schedule and they are always careful to tell us when they have been at our home so the dog does not get sick. I would highly recommend this company as they clearly know what they are doing. We feel the choice to change was very good and we have found a great company to take care of our lawn.

Price for the fertilizer service is reasonable. It would cost me about that much to do it myself will quality products (lesco, scotts, etc) I easily have one of the better looking yards in the neighborhood. People are friendly and professional. I have only had a few questions but they answer them quickly and correctly. They are a little expensive by about 50 dollars on the aeration and reseed in the fall, but worth it to me since I don't have to call anyone else or rent equipment. Very happy with their service and recommend them to others.
Description of Work: I have a yard that is over 6000 Sqft. King Green has maintained it for more than two years since I dumped another lawn service. They come about 8 times a year. The use Lesco products and don't over do it. They clean up with blowers once they are do so there is no pellets on the driveway or sidewalk. They are always friendly when I call the office with a questions, the team shows up when they say the will.

I couldn't be happier with King Green's service. My lawn really suffered through the Mecklenburg County watering restrictions of 2008. Much of the healthy grass died and several different types of weeds overtook my yard. Over the next two years, I was never fully able to rehabilitate my lawn so I called in the experts. They provided an evaluation and the costs for services. It wasn't cheap, but it was reasonable for the work to be performed. King Green aerated, seeded, and fertilized my lawn in the fall of 2010. They have been out several times since then as part of the fertilization they do 7 times a year. The results have been nothing short of amazing. In just a few months, my lawn is almost fully recovered and is the best looking lawn on the block. The only complaint I have is that I have to mow my lawn twice as often as last year! The folks at King Green have been great to work with. They're prompt, professional, and do exactly what they say they'll do. They also provide the courtesy of calling the day before my appointments so I know they're coming and can unlock the gate to the back yard. Thank you, King Green.

In summer 2010 our lawn took a beating(from a fungus)and needing some expert help. We were planning on putting our house up for sale in the spring of 2011 and our realtor told us a green & lush yard would have great curb appeal. We called King Green in Fall of 2010 and they went to work on our battered lawn. To make a long story short......we sold our house on 3/2011 and at the buyers said they green & lush lawn is what caught their eye! Thank you King Green!!

I highly recommend King Green for their professionalism and customer service. I am very well pleased with the results and their expertise in lawn care.
Description of Work: King Green was recommended to me by a neighbor with a great lawn. I moved in recently and the previous owner totally neglected the lawn. Dave form King Green came over promptly when I was away and left a detailed report of what my lawn needed to get back into shape. I scheduled service for aeration, fertilization and seeding, his crew came out and worked quickly and professionally. Dave was in the area a few days later and dropped by to see if I was happy with the service so far.I neglected to post the location of an in-ground sprinkler he noticed on his own that the cover was hit by an aerator and he payed a contractor to replace it. He called again to see if all was well and I mentioned that there was a patch of my lawn that wasn't growing he scheduled for the workers to place more seed.

We always appreciate it when a client is pleased enough to tell others about us. This was the case with the member and his neighbor. Over 70% of our new business comes from referrals just like this, and we are very proud of this fact. His lawn did present quite a challenge, but we did our part and he did his and the lawn is really turning around and looking great! Thanks for a great report! Dave

They come out almost 7 times a year. They do fertilizing, and treating. They schedule the time and dates, and they show up promptly. If I pay them the annual charge in advance, they come out on their own according to their schedule, and if I don t pay them annually, they call me and ask if they have to come. They give me a sheet that tells me what services they have done, and they are also very informative. My overall experience with them has been good.

King Green had a major mix up and messed us up pretty bad, but they fixed it and I love them for it. They had a major glitch in their computer system that sent them out to our house two times in one week. Josh our serviceman is the best serviceman in the field. He laid new seed and straw, on the second visit a different crew came out and sprayed pre emergent over top of the seed. They are very apologetic and accommodating. I was happy that they cared enough to fix the mix up. They forgave the bill for both visits, and said they would come out a third time and rake the straw and pre emergent and lay new seed. They haven t done that yet. I think the service is good and I will continue to use them in the future.

Opps! We are only human and do make mistakes. It is not that a company never makes a mistake (though we try hard to make none), it is how they respond if a problem arises that really counts. We stand behind everything we do and will work with you to make everything right if there is a glitch. As the members pointed out, we respond quickly and do the right thing to make up for any error. It is all part of our guarantee. Incidentally, the computer transition that caused this issue is now complete so this problem should not arise again. Thanks for the great report, and yes, Josh is one of the finest technicians/service managers in the business. We are lucky to have had him at King GREEN for the past ten years and we look forward to many more years to come! Dave
