Green Lawn has done a good job, particularly with the nutsedge, which is a very pesty sort of grass!
Description of Work: I prefer Green Lawn Fertilizing to other lawn services because Green Lawn did a good job on the perennial nutsedge (nutgrass) in my lawn. It hasn't been a problem in the two or three years I've been using their service. They could improve a bit with the crabgrass, but that's less of a problem for me. They call a day ahead to alert you of your upcoming treatment and are very professional.

I bought a discount intro service off of Angie's list and ended up hiring them to come 5 times through out the summer to apply flea and tick spray and mosquito spray. It really works! We saw considerably less mosquitos from this service which improved our enjoyment outside all summer. I only had one night of bites (just me - not my family) and they came and re-applied quickly after I called. Worth it! on time - always called ahead -- great service! They even leave a note every time they come. I am continuing service next year too.
Description of Work: Sprayed 1/2 acre of property - all specimen trees with flea tick and mosquito repellant.

There was a little confusion in the beginning. They send a guy to spray for mosquitos at first. I sent him away and called the company. It took awhile, but they finally showed up and fertilized the lawn. No big deal.

Didn't schedule a time, had someone come out and apparently spray the 2 square feet around the tree in front of our South Philadelphia row home, when I emailed to schedule a time I was told that they had completed treatment. When I said that's not possible because I had bought the service for our back yard, which is a little South Philadelphia concrete yard with a bizarrely large mosquito population, and I hadn't spoken or corresponded with anyone about when they could come out, I was told that their employees were not able to walk through someone's home to access the back yard, and I'd have to get a refund from Angie's List. Nothing at all mentioning specifics of access to a homeowner's yard was mentioned in the deal offered.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. However, per our conversation with you back in June, we did not have a contact telephone number for you, therefore, we were unable to speak with you to let you know about our policy of not walking through homes and risking damage to your property with our products and equipment. We asked how we could help you resolve this issue, and you asked for a refund, and you were able to request a full refund through Angie's List for your purchase. If you were unable to obtain a refund, please contact our office at 610-524-2175, and we will assist you as much as we can.

Talked to service manager Mike in September . He had left several messages for a free treatment but I didn't want a treatment at the end of summer .Finally I talked to him.He was very polite and professional and apologized . We decided on a free treatment for next spring and I am satisfied.
Description of Work: Sprayed for mosquitoes. It took 2 weeks after appointed date to show up. Treatment lasted 1 week. They said it should last a month.

UPDATE: GreenLawn Manager went out of his way to fix the problem & earn the good rating that I gladly revised & posted above. Very disappointed with the complete absence of customer service. and concern. No basic courtesy to call, to set up an appointment & inform me of their plans, to introduce themselves, to find out about my property & discuss or describe service. Similarly, upon their unannounced arrival, even though I happened to be home with my car in the driveway, no one bothered to ring the doorbell to let me know they were here. According to the invoice they left behind, they spent 7 minutes between 2:33pm - 2:40pm and, they supposedly treated the "entire yard" of my 40x100 ft property! They were neither seen nor heard during their flash visit! Why bother with a Big Deal that is negative advertising, promotes bad service & gives no reason to anyone to seek Green Lawn Fertilizing, except in order to avoid them? I would not seek or recommend their service in any way in the future.
Description of Work: UPDATE: A new treatment was scheduled & performed by the company to fix the problem situation described below.. All I know is that Green Lawn Fertilizing left a receipt on my door. No one rang the doorbell to let me know they were on my property. No one called to schedule an appointment or, to confirm any one of the 3 dates & times I offered &, no one saw them at work. I have no way of knowing what Green Lawn Fertilizing did or did not do or, whether they did anything at all.

Green Lawn Fertilizing was courteous and professional from the time I ordered the service to the completion of the service. I called to get an approximate time window for the service and they were right on time. The associate handling phone could not be more responsive. The technician on the job was very pleasant, just all around job well done by all.

The service was decent. I still had them to seed afterwards. I saw decrease in the bugs. I bought a house that was pretty much in foreclosure and everything was over grown. That obviously takes time, that's nothing the company could have done. They did the best they could with what they had. First off the individual who came out had to leave in the middle of the service to get the tanks for the side sprayer. He should have had them on the truck. He is a nice guy.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We appreciate your feedback. Please keep in mind, our mosquito program offers a total of 6 applications applied strategically throughout the spring and summer at peak times to control the infestations. I'm glad that having one application in September was able to reduce the numbers you were seeing though! Just keep in mind for the future, you will get maximum benefit by taking advantage of the full program. Please call us again if another problem should arise for you! We hope you have a wonderful summer!

The exception was poor communication. Never actually confirmed or responded when they'd arrive although it was the last of the 3 days I requested. I only saw they arrived AFTER the fact. There was a specific issue I had related to their visit but because I never received any sort of comminque they missed out on a future customer as I see it as a poor sign of a service oriented company.

Technician arrived and began spraying trees & shrubs around entire yard and periphery of the house. Since it was raining lightly during and afterwards, I was a little concerned about the application having a reduced effect. I asked the technician but he wasn't sure and stated that the company just sends him out to spray and, since they sent him that day, it must be ok. I e-mailed the company and was assured that the product should be effective despite the weather. They also mentioned to call them if we found any problem with mosquito activity and they would come out to re-apply if necessary.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, a light rain is actually good for the application as it helps the pores of the plants open and better absorb the product we are applying.

So far we have noticed a decrease in the Mosquitos outside but it is too soon to tell how effective it will be a few weeks from now. As of right now we are very happy with the service.
