They just did the treatment and they left their sign on the front lawn and they left leaving some information on my front door. My experience with them went fine. I actually called them to ask like when do you recommend doing this and do we need to schedule a time, and then the next day they had come and done it. I was not here when they did it, and I assume they did a good job. Their price was very good for the deal.

Overall the process was good. I called and let them know I wanted to have my lawn treated. The call was cordial and efficient. Within a couple of days they were out and applied the fertilizer, weed control and pre-emergent. Within two days my lawn was noticeably greener and 90% of the weeds were gone or dying. I wish they would have left a bit more information about a regular program once they completed the application so I would know the cost and process to sign up.
Description of Work: Green Lawn Fertilizing (GLF) applied fertilizer, broadleaf weed control, and pre-emergent crabgrass control to my lawn for $30 thanks to the Angie's List Big Deal. This was a tremendous value! My home is on just over .25 acre.

I sent an e-mail an I didn't receive an answer right away (for me it is very important to have an e-mail response from the provider especially when you buy online). After some days, my husband make a phone call and arranged the day. They stop by in the morning (we weren't at home) and performed the application. Everything looks good but I will need to wait to see how my grass looks after some more days. They left several brochures.
Description of Work: The company provided lawn-care package for an area up to a quarter of an acre. They applied a fertilizer, pre-emergent crabgrass and weed control application to combat dandelions and other obnoxious weeds found in your yard in 1 complete application.

The guy that came and did the service was really professional. He showed up when he was supposed to and everything went fine. He came back to the door when he was done to explain exactly what he did, how to maintain it and I guess keep up on whatever he had done at the time. I would recommend them. The price was reasonable.

They did quality work when they got to my property. They did the work that they promised. Unfortunately they did not return phone calls at first. They had offered an Angie's List deal to do the property. I called back in two days and then by the time I did reach them they said the deal was off. I asked for a supervisor and got it worked out. They did hold true to their deal on Angie's List.

Gave the quote over the phone by using satellite image of yard for size. Arrived on time, 1 person using a riding machine that both aerated and overseeded at same time. Grass seed came up in about 2 weeks, pretty good coverage on a very patchy yard. Overall, a good value.

I called to set up an appointment and found them to be very nice, courteous and professional. It was very pleasant (for a change) to talk to people who sounded like they cared about their customers. They brought up our property online using satellite images and quoted our square footage instantly. They quoted a price adding 30 dollars for the additional 2000 sq ft, bringing the price from $75 to $105 -- still a bargain. They said they'd be out in about 2 weeks, and would call before they came. About 4 days later, they showed up and started working. They did not call ahead, but that was ok with with us, as we were glad to get the job done quickly. The guy they sent out did the work quickly and efficiently, and was even concerned about a patch of already damaged grass that came up. The ground was very wet at that time, and we knew to not be too concerned with the muddy impressions left in the lawn by the equipment. He left the bill in the front door, as promised, and did not bother me at all. The seed sprouted in a few weeks, and helped to fill in many sparse areas. Overall a very good experience.
Description of Work: Green Lawn Fertilizing offered an Angie's Big Deal for aerating and overseeding our lawn. Our lawn was in need of aeration due to compaction over many years of our clay soil. We had considered renting the equipment to do it ourselves, but this deal was probably cheaper and much easier. The price was fantastic and we are very pleased with the end result.

I thought the porice of my lawn was 75.00 the deal which I bought. They told me that they looked at my property online and it would be an additional 47.70. I live in an development and my overall property is less than 1/2 acre.. The total price was 122.70 not the advertised price of 75.00. The quality of work wasa good and they were on time. The person who did the job was very nice and helpfull

I use Green Lawn for my weed control and fertilizing. They do a pretty decent job keeping everything under control and keeping the lawn healthy. I especially like the recommendations that the tech leaves. My only request would be that they call and let you know when they are coming because for best results a fresh cut lawn is better.

The lawn was extremely wet and yet there were very few plugs lying on the ground that usually show up after an aeration. And the amount of grass seed they used seemed very small for the size of the lawn. We use Green Lawn for our regular fertilization and weed control but I didn't think this additional service was worth the cost.

Good job. Should have rung the doorbell and identified themselves.
Description of Work: They aerated and over-seeded about 4000 sq ft of front lawn. New grass has grown and looks good. I only rated them down on professionalism because they came and started working without letting us know that they were there or who they were. My daughter came to me and said "Why is somebody driving a machine around on our front yard?"

I signed up for Green Lawn Fertilizing Inc this past year and just had my last treatment of the year this past week, I am very pleased with the results so far, our lawn has not been treated for weeds for at least 8 years and has become more weeds then grass, I did not expect to see results within the first year however the majority of the front lawn looked phenomenal with no weeds in site, the back yard didn't look as good but that is to be expected, additionally they also came out twice at no charge during the year to spot spray the back yard and ended up spraying most of the lawn. We ended up getting aeration and seeding to help with the lawn overall and have already signed up for their services for next year. The office staff is also very knowledgeable and very prompt at returning your calls.
Thank you for your kind review Customer! We're glad to hear you had significant results this year with Green Lawn! We look forward serving your lawn care needs in 2013! Thank you for your business!

The above sums it up. The gentleman serviced our entire lawn but not a single new blade of grass grew.
Description of Work: The gentleman came promptly and used a roller to make holes in our lawn and fill them with seed and fertilizer. We were told to water every day, which we did. As far as I can tell, not a single new blade of grass grew as a result of this service.

The overseeding done was great except as mentioned, done a little later in the season then we would have wanted. I'm sure that is due to how busy they got after listing on Angie's List. Other than that they were very easy to deal with and totally responsive and did what we paid for. Would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: We were happy with the work they did but had wanted them to come earlier in the season as by the time they came many leaves were already down and not sure the treatment was thus as effective as it could have been. We watered daily as they asked us to do but with so many leaves down we are not sure the overseeding took as well as it would have if done a week or two earlier, but other than that, they were responsive, very nice, did what they said they would do and the price was wonderful.

We are moving to a new home where the yard needs significant help getting back into shape. We contacted Green Lawn and they scheduled the appointment. We had to cancel at the last minute and reschedule. They were very pleasant and accommodating. They came out at the new scheduled time and did a great job on the yard. It's the first step toward the lawn recovery, but we plan to use Green Lawn to get it the rest of the way!

I was very happy with our big deal purchase. We just bought a new home And the lawn has suffered from pets and poor soil maintenance. They performed aeration and seeding. They also did a free soil test and have us the results and their suggestions for treatment at no additional cost. I was very pleased and did not feel pressured to purchase additional services. Overall it was a great experience and we will look for them again to continue our lawn care
