The work provided by Green Lawn Fertilizing Inc. just okay. The lawn was supposed to be fertilized and it didn't really get much of a boost in fertilization. I expected a little bit more in the fertilization part and I didn't understand. I guess they did what they did. I wasn't there at the time, so I didn't see them do it. I was just expecting the lawn to be a little greener or a little bit more pepped up.
Description of Work: I purchased an Angie's Big Deal to get my lawn fertilized. They came to do the job soon after I purchased the Big Deal. I only paid the initial price of the Big Deal. There were no extra charges.

[member name removed], Thank you very much for the review. I apologize in regard to the fertilizing not producing a more natural, green turf. This was just one application. We recommend anyone that purchases a big deal to jump on our seasonal Green Lawn Program. There are still 3 applications left if you are interested. I apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your patronage!

Would have liked a phone call as to when they were coming, no one called, they just came and put the application down, therefore i was not home when they showed up, so i didn't get the opportunity to talk to anyone and would have prefered them to come when i was home
Description of Work: I had a food application put on my lawn, i was not there when they arrived so i didn't speak to anyone. they put it on my lawn and i was very satisfied with the results

I did not have much interaction with them. I called and made an appointment and he showed up when I was not around. That was the end of it. I guess everything went well. I don't recall when he came out and did the work. I believe, it was May. I can't see much of a difference in the weeds in my yard. They don't seem to have died. They never called to follow up. They provided the service, they agreed to provide. It did not seem to work in my yard. I would not recommend them. I would not say anything bad about them. Just because it did not work for my yard, does not mean, it won't work for yours.

They came right out and it's been several weeks now and it seems to be fine; a lot of weeds were burnt out and I was very satisfied with it. The boy was courteous and he explained what he was doing and what the results would be and how long it would take to finally see a response to what he was putting down. So, all in all, I would say I was very satisfied with him.
Description of Work: We purchased a big deal for Green Lawn Fertilizing. They came out on a one time visit and they sprayed both the weed killer and the fertilizer.

My experience with them was fabulous. I purchased it, and a couple of days later, I went down and got the information off my computer because I figured I had to call and set up an appointment. When I came back up stairs, he was in my backyard. So, he was there two days after I purchased it doing the job. He went around, sprayed all the stuff, did everything, and came up. He explained to me exactly what he had done and exactly what to expect from the treatment. He did notice that I had a lot of creeping like something, but it is a lot of bad in there. He said that it would probably take a week to ten days for it to completely disappear. He also said that because there is something that he has put in there that the grass would grow. So, I probably have to mow it a couple of extra times, but he did the job, was gone in no time, and my lawn looks great. The entire crop is gone. It is nice and green, and everything is good. I would use them again without a doubt.
Description of Work: Green Lawn Fertilizing Inc. came out to do whatever I paid for like fertilizing and the weed deterrent.

I'm no expert, but lawn seems to be growing better, weeds improving, so I'm satisfied. There are a couple areas which seem more sparse, but may be reason other than uneven application, so I'm giving an A. Service was very prompt, which made me happy, since I did not take care of this sooner.

Before they do the treatment, they actually look at the lawn and see what's wrong with it, and they give it a good analysis, and just have a good summary of it after. They are reasonably good.
