Went fine. My lawn care professional calls the day prior to service to give me an estimated time of arrival because I have pets. The treated my lawn, left a detailed description of what they did and what I needed to do (eg, don't cut grass for 24 hours).

To be honest, I have not seen that much difference since I was doing the lawn. I was going to give them the rest of the season to see if they could improve it beyond what I could do. The other issue, is that my wife called them a couple of times to address the fact that we have significant weeds and it took about 3 calls for them to call us back. We were not happy about them. You need to be extra persistent with them. Finally, they came out but It took several calls and several weeks. When they do come, the weeds do go away for a little bit, but eventually they come back.
Description of Work: I used Buckeye Ecocare for lawn fertilization and treatment. The jury is still out with them. We started using them this year. They have only done 3 treatments this year.

They seeded it, fertillized, used the weed killer for the whole summer and did not charge us. We had paid them previously and they made things right after the grass died in the winter. Our grass came back nice and full and thick. They are excellent.

They analyze your lawn and what it needs, they take care of fertilizing as well as getting rid of the weeds. I had planted blue grass in the wrong area and they educated me on how and where the best place for things to be planted are and what to plant as well as they gave me the seeds at no extra cost. They went above and beyond the origianl job. All of their employees have been with the company for a long time. You can rely on the same people through the years of doing business with them. I have been through soo many people that have been horrible and they have been refreshing to deal with.

Over all, they did a good job. They also explained what I need to do to help my lawn and trees. They also explained the type of weed we had and what they had done to get rid of them
Description of Work: This is the first year they have taken care of my lawn and trees. The yard is looking good considering the lack of rain this year. Price is competative and they have not been bought out like the other four I had. Buckeye appears to be a big enough company for this not to happen. I would recommend them to my friends.

They are great. I have been with them for 2 or 3 years. Jeff Christian is their pest specialist.
Description of Work: I had a big problem with ants last year. Terro is a great product. I use them most of the time for preventative means. It comes in a bag with a handle and the other end is zip locked. It has some webbing that allows you put it out in the correct amount. I then put traps out and that didn’t worth either. I then called my lawn service and they were able to take care of it.

Our lawn now looks beautiful, but it's been a long road to get there. We had to request several re-treatments to get positive results for our weeds. Our slit seeding was preformed when the ground was really wet resulting in part of our lawn getting torn up. Buckeye Ecocare was very responsive to our concerns, and all issues were corrected. Our frustration lies with the fact that some services should not have been preformed when the weather conditions were not correct for optimal results. I think they are experiencing some "growing pains" and were in a rush to keep up with their customers needs, thus they ignored the weather and hoped for the best. We will hire them again next season because they did respond to our concerns.
Description of Work: Buckeye Ecocare serviced our grass this summer/fall. They provided weed control, fertilizer and slit seeding.

I have been a customer with Buckeye Ecocare for more than a year now. They are very knowledgeable, friendly and do a great job with my lawn. Please note, they don't mow, they only treat my lawn and keep it healthy. After a consult where they evaluated my lawn, they set up routine treatments and helped my lawn be the envy of the neighborhood. My representative, Louie, has an incredible background in lawn care and tells me realistically what I can expect and what's going to take time. I highly recommend the professionals at Buckeye Ecocare for all your lawn care needs.
Description of Work: I recently moved and I had debated adding an irrigation system to my front lawn, but after a consult with Louie, he showed me how a more hardy type of grass could keep my lawn looking great and reduce the need for watering. Buckeye Ecocare just did my aeration and a cross-hatch / reseeding to my new lawn. As always, they were friendly and efficient and I'm looking forward to my new lawn being even better looking than my old lawn!

Our yard looks better good compared to neighbors who do not have a lawn service. Since we don't use pesticides, it requires a bit more weeding on our part, but well worth it to protect our children, pets, and environment. They are always happy to provide advice about trouble areas.

I liked that they were environmentally conscious and they were very responsive if you had concerns. I thought they did a really good job but my husband wasn't really that impressed; he thought we had more weeds than we probably should have had. I just liked them because they were not putting horrible stuff on the ground.

I used them probably in March or April. They were great and did a great job. The gentleman was fairly nice, friendly and did a great job. My grass came up beautifully. An area of grass hadn't been growing and now they are growing pretty good. My yard wasn't as bad as what should have been done for $200 but I still wanted it done and he even admitted to that.

I have used Buckeye EcoCare for many years and have always been satisfied. I purchase a pre-paid package that is customized to my needs every year that includes lawn care/fertiliztion/aeration, perimeter pest control, and tree/shrub service. I am always impressed by the quality of the technicians who come to my house. They are familiar with the individual challenges in my lawn and work every year to make it look its best. Whenever I have a question or concern, they are prompt about returning to my yard and getting back to me about a course of action. I've found if I work with them and follow their advice, I'm never disappointed in the results. I think this is the best lawn care company in town.

They spray my yard 4 times a year for weeds. Do a good job and use as little chemical as necessary. Will treat for grubs if you ask--and we have never had grubs since we have been using Buckeye.
