They are not doing all the treatments and we are just not getting very good results off of the lawn. Their treatments seem to be relatively ineffective. They always seem fairly cordial and nice to deal with.
Response from King Green
"Some confusion hereā¦..:-) Immediately upon receiving this review I went to inspect the lawn and meet with (member name removed). The lawn looked very nice and (member name removed) said she was very pleased with what we had been able to do in less than a year. She also said that she had no memory of writing the review and had no intention of cancelling service. She is still a customer at this time, months later. She and I are both a bit confused as to how this review got posted!!"

The quality of the product is good. They are efficient and get the job done well. The product has been successful and we have grass again. Their price was comparable to others.

The technician was very nice. We moved here from Wisconsin. We never had a fescue lawn. I am retired and thought I would have lots of time to maintain the yard. I was spending a lot of time and money on the yard and the weeds were taking over. The products I was buying at the local home improvement store were not working . I started asking around and getting mixed reviews on Scotts and Tru Green. I checked Angies list and King Green had the best ratings. The Lady I talked to when I first called was friendly and helpful. The man they sent over to give an estimate seemed honest and explained how things would work if I went with their service. No high pressure sales at all. I asked if I had to sign a contract. He said no . He said they would come seven times and year and assured me the lawn would look great. I dont like contracts because of past experiences with contracts for cable television , home security etc. Still being a little leary I asked how hard they are to get rid of if I dont want them anymore. He said just give us a call. I said o.k., thats it? He said yes, or dont pay your bill. I liked his candor. The estimate seemed fair to me. I was spending that much on my own supplies and not getting results. It took about two weeks to see any results after their first applications but now my lawn looks awesome. I highly recommend King Green

The results are fantastic! 12 months ago, they told me that my lawn would look like the lawn across the street in 12 months and I did not believe it!! Turns out they were right!! I don't even water mich, except when they seeded last fall. I am sure it would look even better if I watered. But I have been extremely pleased and have recommended them to my neighbors.
One criticism is that the reps never interact with me by giving me specific advice about my law (watering, etc.). Give how LITTLE I do with my lawn, I am sure there are areas of improvement that they could recommend. That's the reason i gave them B's in two areas.

King Green started treating our lawn in June of 2013 and the results have been very satisfying. Over the summer, they began conditioning our front yard and prepared it for re-seeding. It was in terrible shape when they first started coming and I was given the option of waiting and doing nothing until the fall when they would aerate and seed which would have saved us some money, but I chose to go ahead and get started even though the results would not be obvious yet. They aerated and seeded as scheduled in the fall and then have maintained a schedule of fertilization and weed control and the yard looks incredible now. We have now hired them to *fix* our backyard as well and I cannot wait until it looks as good as the front yard! Whenever I have had questions, our representative is extremely responsive and knowledgeable and answers all my questions thoroughly. Every experience I have had with the company is positive.

We signed a contract to have King Green treat our lawn beginning last
summer (2012). When I first called, they came out promptly and
explained exactly what the lawn needed and what the price would be for
treatment throughout the year. I have to admit, although a little
pricey, the lawn is more lush and green this year than it ever has
been. They are very professional and do a great job.

A rep promptly returned my call and arranged a mutually convenient time for an estimate on yard/lawn services. He left, at my request, an estimate and followed that up with a phone call. The price was very reasonable (plus an Angie's List discount on the first service). I was growing very dissatisfied with my former lawn service and saw the great reviews on Angie's List. So far, so good.

They call before they come and take care of the lawn.
Response from King Green
"Always good to hear feedback, especially positive feedback:-)! We have enjoyed working with this client since 2006 and making his lawn the best in the neighborhood! He has been kind enough to refer us to neighbors and friends which is the ultimate compliment! We look forward to many more years working these nice folks!"

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!!!"

Fine. They are treating my girflfriend's yard for me. It is a troubled yard in a troubled neighborhood but they are making it one of the better lawns in the neighborhood.

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.
Response from King Green
"Thanks! It is always nice to hear that we are doing a good job and our clients are happy. We try to keep it simple: good products, good equipment plus great people should always add up to happy clients and good looking lawns!"

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!!

They do a great job. We are using them for certain lawn chemicals. I have never seen them. They come as they promised. They do exactly what they are supposed to do. My lawn looks green. So far we have been happy with them.

They came and gave me the estimate on time. They gave me an idea of what each application would cost. They followed up and gave me an excellent price. They will come out 7 times during the year. The experience has been very positive so far and I am looking forward to working with them.

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.
Response from King Green
"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"
