The price is for the entire growing season. They are reasonably responsive to our requests when we ask for them to come back because they either missed a spot or there are brown spots. They are pretty reasonable about coming back or advising. They are prompt on their schedule and come when they say they will. We plan to hire them again.

I used them foir several years. My yard looked good for the first couple of years but then started dying. They had a lot of excuses - bad soil, trees, shade, etc. - but the yard was not this bad for the 20 previous years I did it myself. I went back to doing it myself and the yard is coming back. It is cheaper and better to do it yourself with store product. One other thing - they will not stop. They keep calling about giving them another chance.

Response from Lawn Dawg - Albany
It’s disappointing any time we fail to meet the expectations of one of our customers. Our ultimate goal is to provide solutions; not excuses. Occasionally there are certain properties that require a different approach such as lawns with a lot of shade or soil conditions, but as trained professionals, our staff should always be communicating with our customers the best maintenance practices. It’s very disheartening when and if we fail to perform and communicate with our customers at this level. Lawn Dawg continues to strive to improve our training in order to improve the performance and knowledge of our specialists.

I guess they're okay but I think they're overpriced for what they do. I'm not going to use them next year and do it myself because I can do it for cheaper. As far as what they do they are okay.
Description of Work: They fertilized my lawn with weed preventative and general fertilizer several times this summer.

THEY HAVE DONE IT FOR TWO YEARS. I THINK THE LAWN LOOKS HEALTHIER. I STILL HAVE SOME CONCERN WITH SOME WEEDS IN SOME AREAS. IF I HAVE SOMETHING OTHER THAN PUTTING THE APPLICATION ON, I HAVE TO TALK TO THEM BEFORE HAND, BECAUSE HE FORGETS TO DO WHAT I ASK HIM TO DO.

THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT I HAVE USED THEM, BUT SO FAR I AM PLEASED WITH THEM. THEY HAVE BEEN PROMPT AND HAVE ALSO DONE FOLLOW UP CALLS TO SEE IF I AM SATISFIED. THEY WILL CALL BEFORE THEY COME TO DO THE TREATMENT. THEY GIVE ME ADVANCED NOTICE BEFORE DOING EACH TREATMENT. THEY PUT A BILL ON MY DOORSTEP WITH THE SERVICES CHECKED AND ANY OTHER INSTRUCTIONS.
Description of Work: THEY DID GRUB CONTROL AND THEY PUT PESTICIDE DOWN ON THE LAWN. THEY PUT A SIGN UP, SO WE DON'T WALK ON THE LAWN FOR FORTY EIGHT HOURS.

THEY DID A DECENT JOB BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS FANTASTIC. I THOUGHT THE PRICES COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT BETTER. ALSO, ON A COUPLE OCCASIONS THERE WAS CONFUSION, MISCOMMUNICATION AND INCORRECT BILLINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.

I LIKE THAT THEY COME ALL THE TIME AND FERTILIZE ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. I DON'T LIKE THAT PERIODICALLY I STILL FIND WEEDS WHEN I WALK AROUND IN THE YARD. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE PRODUCTS THEY'RE USING OR WHAT. I THINK SOMETHING ELSE THAN JUST FERTILIZATION OF THE LAWN NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THEY ARE EFFICIENT AND COURTEOUS. THEY DO THE JOB THEY OFFER AND DO IT WELL. THEY CALL BEFORE THEY COME OUT. THE PERSON WHO DOES THE APPLICATION WILL TALK TO US IF WE ARE HERE AND IF WE ARE NOT THEY WILL LEAVE A PRINT-OUT ON THE DOOR OF WHAT THEY DID AND WHO TO CALL IF WE HAVE QUESTIONS. I THINK THE PRICE IS FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR UP HERE.

THEY ARE REFRESHINGLY PROFESSIONAL. THEY ARE VERY TENACIOUS AND DO A COMPLETE JOB. ONE OF THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE THAT I VALUE IS THAT THEY DO A PRE-SEASON CALL TO REMIND ME AND DISCUSS WHAT I MIGHT NEED FOR THE YEAR. IT IS A VERY FRIENDLY CALL AND NOT A HARD SELL. I FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THEM. THE WORK HAPPENS WITHOUT INTERRUPTING MY LIFE AT ALL AND THE RESULT IS VERY, VERY GOOD. THEIR PRICE IS VERY COMPETITIVE.
