This is our second year with Scott and his staff I waited til this year to write this review, since I wanted to give them time to make their "mark". And they have!! It's been a while since our lawn has looked this good and I just want to commend Scott for making good on his promises. PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

All the dandelions that were already springing up are gone and the lawn is already much greener and full. Scott suggested I do a core aeration and over-seed in the fall and included a good price for the work and this is something I definitely will do. If your looking for a company to take care of your lawn, give him a shot. I'm sure that you'll be pleased with the results Thanks Scott!
Description of Work: For the last few years I allowed the landscaper who cuts and trims my lawn to take care of the fertilizing and weed control but my lawn went downhill. This year I finally said "no" to letting them do the work and hired "Green is the Color Lawn Care" to do the fertilization weed control and my lawn has improved tremendously already. Scott was very easy to work with. When I called him he came over almost immediately and checked out the lawn and gave me an full estimate on an annual lawn package that included a nice prepayment discount. I really couldn't be happier with my decision to use him.

This spring, the lawn looks terrible. Worse than it ever did. I called Scott and left a message asking him to come over and take a look and tell us what to do next because it looked bad. He didn't return my call, so after a few days I called back and got him on the phone. He said, somewhat contemptuously, that it wouldn't do any good for him to come over, that he'd already walked around our property a few times in years past, that our lawn was just in bad shape and would never look good unless we got new turf. I asked him why he had then recommended and charged us for aeration and re-seeding and fertilization if it was a hopeless cause. He said that it would have looked even worse if we had done nothing. I feel strongly that he should have told us honestly that what he was doing wouldn't fix our problems rather than encouraging us to spend our money and then telling us later that it was pretty much useless. Needless to say, I would not recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: We hired Scott to take care of our lawn last year. He told us that it needed fertilization, aeration and seeding, etc. and we agreed to have him provide these services.

Response from GREEN IS THE COLOR LAWN CARE
During my initial visit to this property I explained to the homeowner my concern regarding sandy soil, a steep slope and invasive grass types. These are simply problems fertilizer and seed will not correct. Multiple estimates were provided for larger jobs to replace the soil and start with a new lawn. These estimates were denied due to the high cost. I was asked if anything else could help the lawn look better. While the seeding provided new grass and the fertilizer / weed control kept it in good shape for most of the year the heat and drought conditions of any typical august killed many of the areas with sandy soil. With each visit and "walk around" on the property I explained these problems. After three years of doing it the "cheaper" way it was obvious that this was not able to reach the expectations the homeowner had. After expressing this to the homeowner she seemed upset in my honesty and has reflected it in this review. Furthermore, I feel my professionalism and responsiveness could not have been any better in this case.

My lawn was a mess before I hired Green is the Color. Since they began taking care of my lawn, I am proud to say that my lawn is the nicest looking lawn on my block. They are responsive, polite, prompt and reasonable. I have been using their services for 10 years, and would highly recommend them!

HOW DO YOU CALL YOURSELF A LAWN COMPANY WHEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO FOR LAWNS? IT TOOK ME A LOT OF MY OWN SEED with potting soil to cover to get it back to where it was. It seems that most L. I. "Lawn Companies" have no idea what they are doing = Emerald "Magic' was a real "slight of hand."

Response from GREEN IS THE COLOR LAWN CARE
It is unfortunate to hear someone was not pleased with our services. We do offer free service calls to help keep up with any concerns our customers have. The first year we arrive on a lawn is always the toughest for various reasons. As we get to know the lawn and the issues it faces we are able to custom tailor a program for the best results Unfortunately Mrs. [Member name] only received four applications before cancelling. I believe with some more time and a first year discounted aeration and seeding we would have met the expectations desired.

Scott first came to my property and walked me through what needed to be done to help with my lawn issues and what I could do to prevent in the future. He clearly laid it all out for me and came back another day to apply once I decided which treatments I wanted. He was very professional and explained why certain things should be done (and also areas where I could save money and not do anything at this time).

We had been disappointed by another lawn-servicing outfit, so based on the reviews we decided to give Scott a try ... and we're very glad we did. The lawn hasn't looked this good since we moved in in 1995! Not only does the lawn look great, but his prices are more reasonable than the other outfit that didn't do a proper job.
Description of Work: Scott has seeded, fertilized and weed-treated our lawn for the second year. Additionally, at season-end, we've had him core aerate and over-seed the lawn.

Our lawn hasn't looked this good since we were much younger and could take better care of it. We look forward to an even more beautiful lawn in the spring. Scott, the owner, is very professional and pleasant to work with. Yes, we will happily sign on with Green is the Color of Lawn Care in 2014.
Description of Work: Green is the Color of Lawn Care, Inc., did everything for our lawn that needed to be done, except mowing and watering, which my husband still enjoys doing anyway. The lawn service included five (we started late) monthly applications of fertilizer and crabgrass. weed, and insect control, Every month, we were given the exact names and amounts of each product applied and a written description of the specific work done, along with instructions for watering and mowing. In the fall, we chose the option of having the entire lawn aerated and over-seeded. The aeration "removes thousands of soil cores, to allow for root expansion, better air, water, and nutrient percolation. Encourages thatch breakdown and reduces soil compaction." Over-seeding was done with 9 pounds of premium grass seed per 1,000 square feet of established lawn.

I am going to use their services starting in the spring time. I called them and a fellow from the company gave me a very reasonable estimate. I am going to have them start in March. They do not cut the lawn but they fertilize and maintain the lawn at peak performance. I used another company and I was unhappy with them this season. I have had them for two seasons in a row and I figured that it was about time that I changed. I hope and think that they will do well because they are on the Angie's List webpage. The punctuality of the man who came out was also very good.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from Green Is The Color Lawn Care about two weeks ago for seeding, fertilizing and maintaining the lawn.

This company has been very responsive and has done a good job of improving our very difficult lawn. They came out immediately this year when we became concerned that the lawn was not doing well. They had warned us that it could take some time for things to turn around for us, but they have been attentive and done what they said they would do.

Excellent. We had treatments over a 6 month period from April through September; Scott and his team showed up when they promised and all the work was very professionally done. We could see the difference in our lawn very quickly -- all the crab grass and ugly weeds were gone! Extra credit: In October, our front lawn was vandalized by some stupid kid on an ATV who decided to ride around in circles and cut up the turf. I called Scott, he came right over and sent his crew to repair the damage. Now the lawn looks great again!Definitely planning to hire Green is the Color again this year.
