Emerald Magic Lawn Care

Weeds are not all gone as expected but definitely under control. Lawn looks beautiful

Very impressed with the service. Both men (Chris & Andrew) were very thorough. Chris was extremely knowledge. Would recommend without hesitation.

Did not provide service in the Montclair area.

Signed up for this service through Angie's List's Big Deal. I needed to remedy a vole/mole problem with my lawn. More than two weeks later I still do not have a treatment date from Emerald Magic. This after two emails and a phone call. Additionally, the problem seems to have remedied itself. Not only would I not contract with Emerald Magic again, but I would hesitate before getting another Big Deal. Once the provider has been paid in advance like this you, as the customer, lose all leverage.

I'm extremely disappointed about my "overseed" being a way to turn my $129 offer on Angie's List into a potential $370 overpricing. 3.5 pounds of seed on an established lawn is far from overseeding. I signed a contract for $129 and the wording on the "walk through" says aeration/overseed 129 shade tree turf problems. I was never told about extra money or an established lawn. I was first told after they started that they needed to call management because my lawn would need more seed. I was willing to accept this, but I was told it would be over $200 extra. I told the person I spoke to that that was too high. He said he'd get back to me and never did. Angie's List "deal" said $24.99 per 1,000 square feet. My lawn is only 6000 square feet. How should I be glad that they were going to charge me $150 extra. $24.99x6=$150. Why should I pay more? I do not feel that they provided what the deal offered. What is even more disappointing is that several weeks after the service, my lawn still has bald spots. I have spent several hundred dollars and hours of my own time adding top soil, seeding and weeding trying to get the grass to grow where they failed.

Went well. They provided little flags to mark my in ground sprinkler system heads. The representative also gave me a few recommendations on how to improve my lawn. They came on the appointment date, did the job, gave me info for future services if I want to use them.

The provider initially responded saying he would enter our request within 24 hours and schedule the service within two to three days. That was on 4/21/14. I had not heard anything by the 30th so I called the provider. He said he would come by the next day to look at the lawn and the work would be done by Friday; however, he never showed up. I called at 9am this morning and left a message trying to figure out what was going on. A secretary called back to confirm our information. By 5pm today, no one had come by nor had anyone called so my wife called the company. The gentleman proceeded to complain about how the rain, which happened four days ago, had interfered with their work and he could send someone on Monday. I would not use this company nor would I recommend them to anyone else to use.

Lesson learned. Pre warn this company if you have a wired electronic fence. The owner did not mention during our phone conversation any restrictions as we discussed doubling the size of the job but I found out after that there was a specific warning mentioned in an email from the company that I missed because it went to spam. The owner readily agreed to split the cost of the repair which I thought was fair. I would definitely recommend this company.

The Emerald Magic folks arrived around 8:30 am and proceeded to perform the tasks with care and expediency. I am pleased with the quality work ethic of Connor and his assistant and the knowledge they imparted to me.

I have been using this company for years. It took a few seasons for the lawn to become corrected from lack of the proper chemicals. It really depends on the type of season we are having so you really cant blame them if the lawn is too dry or burnt or overwatered, etc. It's all based on the weather (especially in the summer when it's so hot)... But, overall, I am satisfied with the service and quality and will continue to maintain an annual contract with them. My lawn is a nice shade of green most of the time!

It was fine. The price was good. They were prompt and we were very satisfied with the work.

I requested an estimate through AL and through their website. I was contacted shortly and was told someone would be on their way to my home. A week went by without hearing anything so I asked a follow up question. I was told "I spoke to Chuck earlier and he was going to make his way over. It shouldn't be too much longer". I had gotten two other companies to come out in the meantime that provided me with estimates. Finally, today I just gave up and told them to forget it. I guess they are too busy for my business.

I purchased an Angie’s List Big Deal for this service and they were good.

They were punctual and they came on time as promised for estimate. I was only collecting estimates this year. I will probably use him next season.

The company called promptly after I signed up. The work was done approximately when they said it would be (the weather delayed things a bit). They did all the work advertised and the work was done professionally.

They are extremely reliable and very pleasant to deal with. I would highly recommend them.

Was not a positive relationship, trees look bad

Friendly professional service, but did not come back for additional services requested during a busy season.

Emailed them to see if they were still doing Fall clean-ups. Never received a response, I guess they did not need my business.

Great job but it was all I could afford.

Dont know I wasnt home. All I know is that they supposed to have power raked my lawn. It never looked any different...

Lawn turned out very good , moved out of state and cancelled service with no problems.

They are very efficient and knowledgable. They do a great job of explaining everything to you.

They did a good job with my lawn. I spent $300 with them. I spent $200 towards cleanup. They came out a couple of weeks after they did the application and feeding to make sure everything was fine. They followed up to check if there were any corrections needed because I noticed that they had put an additional feed. They were really professional. The owner was very knowledgeable. He was very responsive. He gave me a discount from Angie’s List. I will be using his services again. He will treat my lawn for the winter.

He took care of the weeds, it looks great. He replanted the entire lawn. I didn’t have a lawn before. He came back and even checked to make sure everything was okay. He’s a horticulturist, so he knows what he is doing. He is a very nice guy.
