We have had an annual contract with Alan Smith for many years. He and his staff continue to do an excellent job taking care of lawn fertilization/weed control and tree fertilization. We are very pleased and continue to be so. When we have questions about any issues regarding our lawn or trees we ask Alan and he always provides us with satisfactory answers/advice. We have recommended him to other family members/friends and will continue to do so.

Prepaid service for the season consisting of seven treatments. Through-out the season my applications were always at the tail-end of the application timeframe window. Asked for weed maintenance in between treatments two times during the season because the weeds seemed to be worsening after the application. Each time they would push the weed treatment into the regular application time thus never coming out for maintenance. I was told these must be and quot;new weedsand quot; therefore they are not responsible. In their sales letter and quot; #4 WHAT IS YOUR SERVICE POLICY? We will retreat weeds at no additional charge. However, if you see problems on your lawn or trees and shrubs between applications we can come back out for a minimum service charge of $45.00.and quot; ??? What does this mean ??? They wanted to charge me $50.00 for service to kill the weeds that existed during the last application that did not die. Of course they blame this on the customer for not watering and mowing too low. I have been using lawns services for 20 years, I have inground sprinklers and mower is always set 4.0and quot;. Owner had no interest in even discussing with me or stopping in to see what my concern was about. I asked for service to be cancelled after my fifth application and my remaining money to be refunded. They told me that I and quot; would get a refund at some pointand quot;. It has been two months and I have not received any refund. Lesson is to not pre-pay for services...

Response from Smith's Lawn Services
We appreciate this members business and we are sorry he was unhappy with our services. This member does have a irrigation system. It is not being used at all in the back of the property and the front is only getting a fraction of the required one inch per week requirement. This member has a very large property bordered by farm fields and a neighbor full of weeds. I have found over the years that customers with large properties mow short and do not water properly because of the increased costs. Unfortunately mowing short and not watering properly promotes a thin lawn which will not help control weeds between visits. NO company can apply a pre emergent weed control for weeds like Dandelion, clover and thistles. Maintaining a thick lawn is the best control. This member was told he would receive a refund at the end of the 2013 season which he received in a timely manner. We do charge $50.00 for service calls between visits. It costs us money to run a truck to a property and we do charge to come back out between visits for things like Tree/Shrub diagnosis, fungicide treatment etc. We will retreat weeds at no additional cost as long as the technician agrees that the customer has been doing his part watering and mowing the lawn properly. Each time this member called about re treatment of weeds he was due for his next visit. Finally, we asked this member to contact another company for his needs since he was not willing to mow or water properly. It is not our companies fault that some members buy homes with very large lawns they can not afford to maintain properly. Beginning in 2014 we will no longer treat lawns over 20,000 square feet due to this issue. Our record can attest that we always do everything in our power to give our customers a great lawn but the homeowner must do his part also. This is not "magic" we are performing here. There are factors that are out of our control. We ask potential customers keep realistic expectations when hiring a lawn service. Thank you.

Response from Smith's Lawn Services
We are sorry this member is upset with our company. This member has received three treatments to his lawn as of August 2013 and is scheduled for three more visits this season not four. This member is not scheduled for our regular standard program. In the future we will only provide our Standard Lawn Program of Six Visits and a Grub/Insect control. All lawn companies have had difficulty keeping treatments on schedule this year due to the late snow in March and the heavy rains through the summer. We are currently caught up and on schedule. The owner has personally treated this property in 2013 and the lawn is the best looking lawn on his court and has very few weeds and NO crabgrass. It does contain some coarse fescue that no company can control. No company can offer complete weed control and our company treats for weeds as needed each visit with a post emergent broadleaf weed control. This member has been a customer for years and we have never had a problem. This member had commented earlier this year how nice the lawn looked. We are puzzled by this report since the lawn does look very good. This member has not contacted us to complain about weeds and the last visit the owner reported VERY FEW broadleaf weeds along the curb where the grass is thin. We recommend that members contact us if they have a problem and we will do our best to resolve the issue. With the bad economy we are finding it harder to keep customers happy these days. Please keep in mind that NO lawn company can control all problems all of the time and deserve a chance to resolve any issues before a negative report is filed. We honestly feel this member is being very unfair to us and is greatly exaggerating this issue. Thank you!

We used Smith's Lawn Services from spring of 2008 to spring/summer of 2011. At first, they seemed to do a decent job, but as time went by, we had more and more crab grass and nut grass growing in our lawn. When we called in the spring of 2011 to check on our account because we hadn't received a new contract, they informed us that they didn't send a new contract yet because they and quot;forgotand quot; to do two of our fall treatments, so we had a credit. That was the last straw for us, since we realize that fall treatments are an important part of the lawn maintenance system, so we decided to let the contract run out. Unfortunately we didn't dig through our files to pull out our old contract and re-read it… they have a clause that states and quot;SERVICES CONTINUE UNLESS WE HEAR FROM YOU.and quot; When we received a bill for the additional lawn treatment and called to question the charges, , the person we spoke with took the conversation down a very adversarial path that was completely unnecessary. At first, they told us they would waive the charges, but then called back a week later to inform us that they changed their mind and would enforce payment of their bill. We have paid the bill in full - it was clearly stated in the contract that we needed to call them and we didn't, however we would NOT recommend them due to the unreliable way they handled our lawn treatments, the poor results in our lawn, and the very unprofessional attitude of their management. We waited some time to write this review because we wanted to let our frustrations subside a bit so that we could give a more level-headed review. The photo attached of our lawn was taken in May of 2011.

Response from Smith's Lawn Services
We are sorry this member is upset with our company. Due to a software problem beyond our control this members fall treatments were not completed as was explained to this member. We appologized and offered to continue to to treat their lawn to use up the credit or issue them a refund check.. The member agreed to continue services. The credit was resolved the following spring and we continued with service as normal until several treatments had not been payed. The member never asked us to stop service and was asked to pay the outstanding balances. In an effort to satisfy this member we waived the outstanding charges and discontinued services. We would like to also point out that this members lawn was having a weed control issue mainly caused from lack of watering and improper mowing as can been seen from the enclosed picture. We always do everything we can to satisfy our customers but we do not have control over watering, mowing and computer cliches. As our record can attest we go out of our way to satisfy our customers and respond quickly to problems and work hard to resolve them. Our record can also attest that we are always polite and professional even when our office staff is verbally abused and threatened. We understand that many people these days are under financial stress and hardship, but taking out personal problems on a service provider who goes out of their way to remedy service issues is never the answer.

We have used several other service providers at our homes in other states including some of the big name national companies and we have never had as good of results as quickly as we have had from the treatments that Smith's has done. Even after the long dry summer our grass has greened up very nicely and filled in lots of bare spots after just two visits. We have already recommended them to friends.
Description of Work: We started their lawn service this fall with a treatment in August and another in October. Both times had regular fertilization and weed killer and the first service had some additional services.

So very happy with Smith's Lawncare. We have used several other companies in the past and were not as happy with them as we are with Smith's. I have and will continue to recommend them to our friends and neighbors. Whenever we have had an issue of concern with our yard or our trees they are very quick to respond and come out to either treat or tell us what the problem is.

They don't prune the trees. They are very honest. If something doesn't worry they will take into consideration the price of that treatment. We've used them for the past few years for the lawn care and they have been very good.
Description of Work: We used Smith's Lawn Services to do the fertilizing and weed control of the lawn. They have also tried to save one of our trees. They installed the slow drip insecticide at the base of the tree. They also deep fertilize our trees. They will use antibiotics and other things to try to save the tree.

We were really happy with Smiths. We're no longer in Delaware county so we've had to hire someone else but if ever back in Delaware we would definitely go back with Smiths.
Description of Work: We had contracts with Smith for 2 years during the time we had leased a home in Delaware. When we moved in the yard was in horrible shape -half dead and the other half full of weeds and thistle. When first meeting with Smith they recommended a course of action to eliminate the weeds/thistle etc, fertilize, aerate and seed. During the first season they managed to get the lawn looking really nice - grass was full, lush and free of weeds. They provided seasonal fertilizing and aerating, keepng the lawn looking really nice up to the time our lease expired. We didnt have to be home to have treatments, they told us approximately when things would need to be done and then they showed up, performed the work and billed us afterwards. Service was provided from June 2009 to June 2011

Response from Smith's Lawn Services
We appreciate this members business and the time to post a report on our services. We do want to point out that we treat existing weeds every visit as needed. The weed control products all companies use do not prevent weeds like dandilions, clover, thistle and other Dicot/Broadleaf weeds. Maintaining a thick lawn with proper fertilization, mowing and watering will help keep weeds under control. Areas along the curb, driveway and roadway that become thin from high heat or weed whacker scalping will promote weed development between visits. Rest assured that our service will come out on a regular basis and treat weeds as needed to help keep them under control. Please keep in mind that no lawn service can promise you a totally weed free lawn. Thank you.

In 2011 we began to be called very soon after receiving a bill, asking us to pay it because it was past due, even though the notices did not indicate tardiness penalities until 45 days had passed. We have never paid a bill more than 30 days after receiving it. In other words, we always pay within 30 days. In June, 2011, we were first called to pay sooner than usual. We were called again in July, even though 45 days had not yet passed. We also noticed a $2 fuel charge of which we were not aware was being imposed. We called the firm and left a message on their voice mail asking for a return call. It took this business 2 days to return the call. The owner returned the call and was hostile from the beginning of the conversation. His hostility was addressed, yet it increased. This owner terminated the call by saying he no longer wanted to treat our lawn, then abruptly hung up. We felt this treatment was horribly unprofessional, not to mention inappropriate. We have been good customers of this firm for years and have referred this company to others, yet this is how we were treated.

Response from Smith's Lawn Services
I personally returned this members phone call regarding our collection of past due balances. Our payment terms are Due Upon Receipt. It is communicated from the beginning of starting our services that we would like payment withing one week of having received a treatment. This member was consistently past 30 days delinquent and was upset because we were calling him at work to collect past due balances. We do not begin calling past dues until a statement has been sent well past 30 days. We also started charging our customers a two dollar fuel surcharge in mid June when gas prices went well above our budgeted levels for the year. Our fertilizer costs also jumped fifteen percent in one week due to higher shipping costs. As a business we have to transfer our input costs to our customers to stay in business. I understand this member is having financial difficulties but I must point out that I am always polite and cordial to all customers even when they become verbally abusive like this member. When I can not reason with a customer and they are verbally abusive I will ask a customer to find another lawn service company. It is in our best interest to treat all customers with the respect they deserve. Thank you.
