We have paid (upfront) for the treatment of our lawn and that was a huge mistake. This company 1) does NOT answer their phones EVER, 2) does not return phone calls, 3) does not perform the service they are supposed to, and 4) has the worst customer service I have ever experienced with a company. Do not, and I mean DO NOT, use this company!

I have had this service for a couple of years. I still have weeds and my lawns has brown patches and some spots where NO grass growing! I called over two weeks ago and was told the manager would contact me. He has not. My service is up for renewal and I called today and canceled. Paid almost $400 a year for my yard to look horrible!

The service and customer service from this company is very poor. Had this company since beginning of last year to fertilize and de-weed my lawn. I complained to them about the issue of over excessive weeds after my year been treaded for a year. There techs do a really poor job on spraying even caught tech on camera cutting corners not even spraying one side of my house. Makes me think he been cutting corners all alone that's is probably why I have weeds. I addressed the problem with them instead of correcting the issue they going to cancel my services. They will take your money but not treat your yard with respect. I even gave them business and the people I did end up canceling them for bad/poor service. It's sad this company is still in business, stay away look at star rating and negative reviews. If I could not give them a star at all I would.

Response from Southern Green Turf Care Inc
The first of many lies is [Member Name Removed] first started with our company 5-5-2014. He was a consistent customer with excellent results. So much so we were considering using his photo on our website. We have several photos of his yard with mr [Member Name Removed] posing for our website. In November of 2016 he accused the company of stealing his money and was refusing to pay for last app which we got approval to do from a phone call with the manager of the company. In February of 2017 he finally paid the one app owed and we terminated his svc. He then calls back in May of 2018 wanting to restart svc again. We did his first app back with the company 5-3-18. He then calls within 10 days wanting a free retreat. We told him he had to wait till the week of the 29th for a retreat as he just started back svc and we cannot retreat that close together with a application. We did a free retreat 5-31-18. We did his 2nd application 6-18-18. He then called for a free retreat for ants which we did for him on 7-16-18 we told him his next app was due right around the corner though. We did next aop on 7-27-18 this app was a new qtr his cc was declining. when we finally reached him for a new cc it was also declining. He called a few weeks later for another free retreat which we did on 8-20-18 and told him again his next full app was due right around the corner. We called for next app and he kept postponing it due to leaves in yard. Finally he called asking when next app was demanding it right away. We set up next app 10-3-18. Then tries to call 10-15-18 for a free retreat after he held up his last app and right after we did a application for him. Since he threw off his apps and the pre-emergent apps are the most important we did his next app on the set time the app is supposed to be done for the year which made it 10-31-18. We told him we would wait to run his pmt for him since it was done close to last app but that bc he held up last app. The Application really needed to be done on the set time of year to give him the full benefit. He said ok to wait to run his pmt and we did. WE then called him dec 6th for his next application and he told us no to wait he had to get leaves up wait till next week. We did as told and called him on 12-13-18 and tried to set up his app he told us no he had to still get leaves up and he would call us when he was ready for the application. We never heard from him. On 1-3-19 we called for his application to be done 1-4-19 since he never called us for it and hes getting behind again and always calls for retreats. So we went to do app 1-4-19 he told the tech not to treat the back yard this app bc of leaves so we treated the front and sides. A few weeks later he called again for a free retreat for front and to finish back yard from last app which was late bc of him postponing it. So on 1-24-19 we did another free retreat on the front yard and finished the back yard. We called and did next application 2-7-19. On 3-11-19 he called demanding another free retreat and threatening to cancel svc if we do not do it. We told him field mgr would have to check lawn first bc hes due for next full application the end of the week and we do not do free retreats when full apps are due within a week. Not to mention he always calls for retreats and held up apps multiple times and the most important apps of the year are the fall and winter apps which are the times he held up his applications. Mgr went out to look at lawn and tried to call him. Mr [Member Name Removed] then called back in on 3-14-19 saying he was waiting on mgr to come look at lawn before next app is done which he said he is due now. Mgr did look at and tried to call again. We then set up his next full application for 3-18-19. Then on 4-22-19 Mr [Member Name Removed] called the office saying to schedule his next full application which he is due for now he said. So we set up his next app 4-23-19 and he said ok. Then he calls in 4-24-19 saying we double charged him stating that the 3-18-19 app should of been a free retreat not a full app. We called him back stating all previous notes that the 3-18 app was a full app and that was discussed before we did application then. He even acknowledged full app was due in march when he called in to office asking for managers info after checking his lawn before we did his next application. And he called asking for his april application. He Pays quarterly so we gave him his app dates and last 3 pmt dates. He then called the office lady a B**** and then said cancel svc and hung up on her. Then calls right back within 2 mins and got the other office lady who just came in to work right as he was calling and he cursed her out as well. She had no clue what was going on with his acct as she just walked in the door. When Mgmt found out what was going on they said to cancel his svc again and refund his one app credit he had. We refunded his 55 to his cc that was charged for the new qtr on 4-25-19. He then calls back to the office on 5-2-19 saying he got his one pmt back but he should of gotten both apps back. 4-24-19 app was the start of new qtr and we did that application per his request for it so he was only owed the one prepaid app which he did get refunded. He then sent texts to our mgr saying if he didnt get the other application refunded back he was going to destroy the company on all social media sites and go to his neighbors as well to do all he can to stop ppl from using our svc and was also going to get an attorney to sue us for the other 55 for the app that was done to his yard that he requested. In a Summary Mr [Member Name Removed] is a compulsive liar. everything on our end is documented. Every phone call with his threats and profanity are recorded. If our svc was so bad why did he continue to come back to our company for svc. We are very proud of our company and 47682 customers in 3 states must feel we are pretty good.

Hired quarterly to weed and fertilize for about 6 months. Lawn looked horrible by spring time. Weeds and dead grass everywhere. Had to resod my side yard and part of my back yard. Still waiting on a “partial refund.” I doubt it will happen. I hope anyone that hires them has a better experience but I fell like I spent money only to damage my lawn.

Bwana, who made contact and evaluated my property was very professional and polite and knowledgeable. The person who came the first time to perform the service either forgot, or did not know he had to do the backyard. The office was very nice about scheduling an extra visit to do the backyard, although I cannot be sure it has been done because there are still a lot of weeds. Time will tell. I am getting quarterly applications because I don't like a lot of chemicals and this schedule has worked when I did it myself.

100% sorry that I have to give such a bad review. I had their service for a couple of months (3). This was suppose to kill weeks and prevent new weeks from growing. Since this were winter months this was to prevent the weeks from growing in the spring. What a joke, I have weeks all over the place. I don't think it is right that they do the service if I'm at home and not ring the bell telling me they are going to spray. I would love to watch and see what they do. That never happened. When I canceled service it took 2 emails and 2 phone calls and they did not even ask why. I left voice mail messages and never got a call back. The emails went unanswered. I am also very disappointed in Angie's list for listing them. I was paying about $50.00 every month to 45 days.

The services performed was poor. They would send someone out that would spot spray and failed to cover the yard. Weeds began to grow and when called, they would send someone back out 1-2 weeks later. I realized that I was having to do this over and over, so I tried to reach a manager. They put me in touch with a manger named Paul that gave me a round about discussion telling me he would personally address the issue. He came out, evaluated my yard and agreed with my concerns. Said he would spray it himself and did one time. Treatment stopped and he did not return until I called him to ask him not to forget me. He said he would be back and then remained away. I called and he started ignoring my messages. I requested a refund for the year and they said the would refund. They never have. I have tried to get them to refund and still no refund. Lesson learned...do not use them. Southern Turf does not need to do business with anyone. I hope all potential lawn treatment customers seek service elsewhere. STAY AWAY FROM SOUTHERN GREEN!

See above comments. Theymare not professionals and should not represent themselves as such.
Description of Work: Hired them to weed and feed lawn. Afterwards, our lawn looked worse than the widow next door who did her own applications by hand. They charged up front for 2 applications. They performed one in June and will not perform the other we paid for. Will not return phone calls. Original salesman touted how much better their lawn service and customer service was than TruGreen. They still owe me $44.

Didn't get a call to schedule, instead a gentleman wanders into my backyard at 8:30pm while I'm having guests over for a bbq. After seeing that there's about 10 people on my back porch he continues to try to start service. I tell him to call me another time and he leaves. He calls me the next day and tells me that he walked around my yard the night before, so he didn't need to come back to survey the yard. Given it was dark out, I'm not sure how good of a job he could've done. He mentioned that my yard was too far gone to use weed killer (which is probably true), so I declined to have him come out to do the service. I never received a refund, which in hindsight I probably should have requested given no services were performed...

I've had too many bad experiences with yard and lawn care type people. It's not that I had a bad experience with them; I'm not gonna put them out there like that. It wasn't a bad experience. I like to do my yard myself. I called them just to do the first initial, the spray thing, something that I can't control, whatever they have to do. They did what they had to do, but I like to do my own. I just needed help at the time. But to recommend to someone else? Yes, I would. They did their job, so I'll give them an A. It's hard to explain. You have to be a yard person. You need that initial push and they gave me that push and I respect them for that, that's why I gave them respectful grades. I'm a yard person myself, I just didn't have the tools that they had to get my yard going. They did what they had to do to get me going, put it that way.

Bwana showed up and was quite the salesman. He was on time, professional and very knowledgeable. He was not pushy or hurried. He took his time to walk around the house and discuss concerns we had about different grasses, moles, etc.. Matt told us it would take a year to get our lawn back to the way it was, once upon a time. We were already behind in applying the first course of fertilizer and pre-emergent, so we knew our lawn would not transform itself with a couple treatments. We have had two treatments thus far and are seeing a difference. I am happy in the fact that the treatments for grubs and insects are keeping the moles at bay. I've noticed a significant difference in the departure of those pesky rodents. There's still work to be done to kill some of the weeds and the variance of grasses, but the yard looks good, and I have to take the hit for the remaining weeds and grass variances due to beginning the treatment later than we should have. And by the way, if you're going to use a coupon, you may as well go with a full year as it's cheaper than if you purchase the products and apply them yourself throughout the year to have a beautiful yard. I've been home during both treatments we've had thus far and will tell you that they are very thorough and professional.
Description of Work: Year round lawn care that included proper fertilizing, pre-emergent herbicides and chemical pesticide treatment to ensure a lush green healthy lawn. Southern Green Turf Care LLC treats the yard every 45 days to kill and keep weeds at bay, fight our out of control mole problem by killing their food source (grubs, mole crickets, etc.) and treating any ant issues, black or red.
