We're on an annual schedule with them where they come out several times throughout the year and treat our lawn. We started in February and can already see a huge difference in our yard. We're very pleased with the results.

This was our first treatment, so we are waiting to see the result on the grass quality and being that it is the end of the season we don't expect anything until next spring. They did a good job on killing weeds and they were a big problem. We used the chemical weed control, not the organic as the problem was quite bad.

Soils Alive is great. They notify before they come and they walk the yard and treat weeds, and fertilize according to need and their schedule. They use a proprietary blend of organic goodness that keeps the grass green and growing thickly, and lushly. They even note areas of concern for the yard and bring to my attention when they leave their service notes.

I've used Soils Alive for a number of years. Organic supplements for the yard can be expensive and some need to be fresh for maximum benefit. Instead of having to buy and store all the various supplements as well as learning what my turf needs, I rely on Soils Alive. I wanted to do organic after my dogs had problems with the chemicals used at apartment complexes. The dogs have never had any problems with the products used by Soils Alive which is extremely important to me. When I've had landscapers at the house they are always surprised at the great condition of my St. Augustine even though it is in very heavy shade. I think the condition is due to the work done by Soils Alive.
Description of Work: I use Soils Alive for ongoing care of my yard. They provide the appropriate organic applications at the correct times.

They promote themselves as using organic and natural fertilizing products. We liked that concept as we're environmentally conscious. However the result was not as we expected and we had difficulty in seeing enough results to justify continuing with them.

The treatment is making the lawns so healthy. For the first time in 11 years, I've had to mow my lawn every week in the summer. In the past, I can cut down to every other week in the heat of the summer. Not this year. I highly recommend Soils Alive.

We've had Soils Alive for two years and just signed up for our third year of service. The results are really pretty wonderful. The property looks great and gets lots of compliments from our neighbors. Their products are all organic and very environmentally sound. We like that bit a lot. They call the day before every treatment to remind us that they're coming. They are timely, professional and very courteous.

First, there is an inspection of the yard and an estimate. I bought a package for seasonal natural treatments to feed the grass and treat for cinch bugs. They come by, spray the grass, and leave a notice that they have been here. The company seems knowledgeable and professional.

The short version is, it just didn't work for me. I recently purchased a new home. My yard was in "good" condition in my honest opinion. I wanted to be a good home owner and fertize/treat my yard to have the best in the neighborhood. So I called up Soils Alive seeing the rave reviews. Justin (I think) came out to do the initial inspection, and I had visions of grandeur. I came in a bit late to the party (April, or May I believe) but my yard was looking pretty spiffy at the time too. I purchased some conditioners, some add on's to the protection plan and within a few short days, men were out working in my yard. Please note I am writing this with no malice or ill will, nor am I angry. The treatments seemed very brief. Soils Alive workers would text me before showing (fantastic I might add) but the time spent on my yard was very brief. Maybe they work fast. But as time went on, I noticed some workers were more diligent in their yard care. I even mentioned this to one of the more diligent ones and he just smiled and politely ignored the statement, fully aware of what I meant. Months later here I am, up for renewal down $1200 and my yard went from being one of the best, to one of the worst on my street. I live next to a woman who has been in the hospital for 10 months, and does the bare minimum to upkeep her yard, and it looks better than mine. More weeds, more spots, more this and that. I was asked when I called to cancel if I would like someone to come out and assess the situation... Well...I thought that's what I was paying them for.... so.... no, I don't. These guys are quite professional, very courteous, very nice, very good at answering questions. Product just didn't work for me. I'm going to try going at it on my own for thousands less, or try someone much cheaper and supplement my own elbow grease. $1200 is a lot to burn for no results.

Response from Soils Alive Inc
We were certainly sorry to hear that our services did not benefit the member. As demonstrated from our many good reviews, this is not usually the case, but is disappointing when it occurs. It is important to remember that when buying a new home we may not be aware of the total history of the yard and what may be occurring in the soil profile. It is also important to note that conditions like shade and watering patterns vary from yard to yard and can affect results of any program. When the member addresses concerns with technicians, it is certainly their duty to listen and be polite without making any disparaging remarks about coworkers. We also always ask cancelling customers if they would like someone in management to meet with them and evaluate the yard to gauge the response of our program and make recommendations for remediation of any specific issues. We always appreciate member feedback and hope to use it to improve our services for future clients.

They are very good. I am very satisfied with the service. I am very satisfied with the results. The price is about twice what I was paying for the previous company that I had but it is also twice as good. So, I get what I pay for.
Description of Work: I hired the company called Solis Alive. They did a strict application of green fertilizers and I think they used some kind of natural occurring stuff. They come out monthly to do lawn fertilizing and weed control.

I have been maintaining my lawn on my own for 9 years. The last 4 years I have done all organic with some success but seem to have issues I could not diagnose or get under control. My lawn barely came back this year probably due to stress of not enough sunlight and the very cold winter. After meeting with Steve to discuss the problem areas, it was decided I had to take out 2 Bradford Pear trees if I wanted any lawn at all. The trees are gone, and new sod was planted in their place. Soils Alive came out the beginning of June for the first treatment. My lawn is now filling in very nicely. the new sod is looking really lush right now. Even the grass that was really struggling to survive is now spreading out really well. I don't think my grass has ever been so green. I have been noticing that one area that had not been affected by the lack of sun was beginning to yellow and die. Steve came out to look at it and diagnosed the problem (chinch bugs and scale) and had a treatment applied that afternoon. Compared to what it costs to purchase all the organic supplies and my time to apply them, I believe their prices are well worth it. They are very responsive and seem to care about providing great service. I am looking forward to working with them and utilizing their knowlege to get my lawn back in shape.

I signed up with Soils Alive in January 2014. They always call a day before my scheduled appointment to confirm. I have recently reached out to them to get someone to take a look at my yard as I seem ot have more weeds then I would expect and they have not followed up.

The employee arrives in a truck outfitted with a tank holding the liquid treatment; he knocks to tell us he's here, then gets to work. It usually goes quite quickly.
Description of Work: Spread the scheduled application to our lawn. (Certain treatments are done at certain times of the year.) They always call us the day before to let us know they're coming, and they always tell us how long it needs to dry before pets can walk on it.

They are very nice. They produce results. I have dropped them for almost a year because they were unable to take my calls into actions. After contacting them many time, I was oblige to talk to their manager for the carelessness. After a year, I decided to contact them back and they apologized for what they did. They also promised to never let it happen again. Overall, they are good. I will use them again for a year.
