UNBELIEVABLE !!....... If by "things are back to normal", he means I again cannot get any response to calls left on his answering machine, and his webpage STILL is in "construction" state, well, then I guess he's right. NOTE: This is an update to my 4/2013 post, based on the most recent experience with his service .
Description of Work: After 7 months never responding to my calls, e-mails, and written cancellation request sent to his billing address, I come home to find an invoice on my door for a fertilizer treatment on the SAME DAY as my current lawn service also did THEIR fertilization!! No advance call, no acknowledgement of my prior calls, etc. Only a 1"-wide slip of green paper enclosed with the bill stating: "I would like to apologize that things this year haven't gone as smoothly as in years past. I want to assure you that things are back to normal, and what you have come to expect in your past years of service will continue to be that way from this point forward. We are sorry for any inconvenience.". Can you BELIEVE it?!

Showed up & responsive first few years, with ok results. Some years lawn seemed to do better than others, although never as good as when we first bought the house (previous caretaker had retired at that point). Seemed to zip in & out on motorized spreader, with as much spread on driveway as appeared to be spread on lawn. Started out responsive to calling in advance of treatment, but slacked-off after a while on that. Then started to become hard to get hold of. Website remained under construction, same phone message about getting right back to us on the 2 numbers provided, with no calls ever returned. We had weed, bare patch, etc., issues we wanted to discuss, but could never get in touch with him. Then happened to be home one day last spring when he showed up to treat the lawn, and I spoke with him. He apologized & said there had been some personal & phone-related issues, and gave me his personal e-mail address. That kept me from cancelling service last year. This year, we had an early weed issue I wanted to discuss, and it's the same problems. No response to multiple phone calls or e-mail. So I sent back a note in his payment envelope indicating I no longer desired service with his company if I could not get in contact with him, figuring he'll at least likely check his payments mail..... It's a shame, as the lawn service itself was relatively reasonably-priced & the lawn didn't suffer debilitating damage like I've read in reviews of other companies (all of which seem to be hit-or-miss). But the service is of no use to me if I cannot get in touch with them with treatment issues/concerns. I am just glad that I never took them up on their 5% savings for annual pre-payment, or I could possibly be out money as well. I have no clue as to whether or not he's even in the business anymore.
Description of Work: 8 seasonal applications of weed/bug control, fertilization, grub prevention, core aeration, lime, etc.

He was on the list and had a good rating, but he never responded. He never called or sent me an e-mail. I would not want them to bother contacting me. If he changed his e-mail address, I don?t care because it was his responsibility to notify you to include on the list.
Description of Work: I e-mailed Fore-Ever Green Lawn Service for lawn service about 3 months ago, but they never responded.

I have nothing but good things to say about this lawn service. They come when they say they will, do the work in a professional manner, and they are very responsive to my questions and phone calls.
Description of Work: I had Fore-Ever Green Lawn Service come and spray my 2-acre property with chemicals to kill the weeds. They usually come about once a month unless I call them.
