Hello member. I definitely use the coupon to try and get repeat business. I could not afford to offer the coupon otherwise. I do hope you were happy with the service you received and you would use me again if you needed service again in the future. Luke

Very well. The technicians were prompt and called (as I requested) a few minutes before arriving. They took their time putting down the dillo dirt. The machines are high tech and spread the dillo very evenly across the lawn. Based on my past experience (Emerald Lawns put down dillo dirt on my lawn several years ago), the results of the dillo dirt take 3-4 weeks to show. But, last time the results were fantastic. I could still see the effects of the dillo 2 years later!!!
Description of Work: Put down dillo dirt on my lawn using 2 special machines that spread the dillo dirt evenly across the lawn.

I questioned why they applied grub worm control so early and they said that was a mistake. They said they would apply a free treatment of fertilizer and grub worm control around May, which is a more appropriate time for the grub control. I do appreciate a company that responds so quickly to questions and customer feedback. So although the initial service was not quite perfect, their handling of the error was so responsive and courteous, I have to give them an "A". I'll do business with them in the future.
Description of Work: Applied Fertilizer/pre-immergent weed control. They also applied grub worm control, which was a mistake.

The aeration and fertilization did a great job helping my lawn fill in those voids over the winter, so it actually looks better now than it did before their treatments. I have them scheduled to return to do the top soil work they recommended.
Description of Work: I ordered Fall Fertilization and Core Aeration services through Angie's Deals. They called to schedule the service the next day, and did the service within two weeks. They also did a review with me of my lawn situation, which wasn't as bad as I feared, other than ome dead spots where new sod hadn't established. They suggested adding some much needed regular top soil, where I had been thinking I'd need to add a lot of far more expensive organic material.

Very well. We signed up for their annual applications, so we will know more next year.
Description of Work: We used Emerald Lawns because of a coupon on Angie's List promoting an Organic lawn service. We were pleased with the service/treatment and plan to continue with their program. It is reasonable prices and requires no contract for the 8 applications in their annual schedule, so we should know more later how effective it all was. The owner was accessible and informative with added to the confidence in the program.

If you use them, realize they will quote a price and may jack it up after they see your yard. They do no appear to use illegal aliens, however, which is a plus to me.
Description of Work: This company did aeration in my yard, and the service was fine. The person doing it was better than expected. But, I purchased because price on Angie's List was $50. Rather annoyed that they charged me an extra $20 after seeing my yard. My yard is average for my neighborhood, so I am not sure how competitive their price was after they added on the $20. Felt cheated.

Hello Customer. I'm very sorry you feel cheated. It was certainly not my intent. I tried to be as clear as possible on the coupon that there is a $10 charge for every 1000 square over 5000 and your lawn is 7000 sq ft.

It appeared to be completely ineffective.
Description of Work: They were very professional and worked very hard to schedule me at a time when I was very busy. Several follow-up phone calls, despite it being a very small job. I have never had aeration performed before, but it appeared to be completely ineffectual. I could see minimal results in my backyard. In the front yard, the only sign that they had been there was the way my gravel sidewalk was tracked up.

Outstanding. After a few months, my neighbors starting asking me how I performed the amazing turnaround with my formerly crappy yard.
Description of Work: The aeration was my start of relationship with this vendor. They were professional and did an amazing improvement with my yard. I had them come out and do regular fertilizer as well. I received several questions from neighbors asking how I improved the yard so much so fast!

They were here all the times they were supposed to. One time I was walking down the road, and I saw their truck, and I told them I had two brown spots on my lawn. They came over right away and looked at it and gave me a grub control treatment. They're always here on time, and they always do what they're supposed to do. I signed up again for this year.
Description of Work: I purchased Big Deal $25 for fertilization & weed control. I signed up in January of 2012,and they did 6 treatments throughout the year plus grub control.

Aeration was done at the time quoted to me. Was impressed with their weed control, they got rid of all the weeds in my yard and their fertilization turned my poor dying lawn into a lush, green oasis, with a lot less watering than the year before.

I was very pleased with the professionalism and their respect for my time. I am impressed enough to want to keep working with them to get my lawn back in shape.
Description of Work: An evaluation was completed on what would help my yard going into winter. Emerald Green fertilized and put down a product to kill weeds in the future. They also put down a product to get rid of grub worm. Based on their analysis, a second appointment was made to aerate the lawn as well as adding top dressing. The third appointment, a final fertilization was done before winter.

Informed me of a date he would apply the trearment but did not make that date and did not inform me that he couldn't come. The next morning there was a note on my door that told me they did the lawn. I assume they did it although there was no way to verify that the work was done.

They did an evaluation of the lawn first. The aeration appointment was open in other words I could not set the appointment in advance. They called the day before they came out. When they got here they aerated the lawn but in most of the lawn the machine only penetrated the soil a 1/4 of an inch. The crew said it was because the soil was too dry. We were not told to water before and we most likely couldn't of watered with the restrictions and the open appointment time. I feel like it was a waste of money. The appointment coordinator/evaluation person follow up which I thought was nice.

I haven't used a lawn svc before (have traditionally done everything on my own). Had a less-than-perfect lawn last year, considered using a professional to help me out. Their core aeration service is done quickly. Too quickly, actually - on both occasions this year there were areas of my lawn near corners or edges where it was clear they didn't run the aerator. Had I just rented one for slightly less than what i paid them, I would have taken more care and been more thorough. I felt the same way about their lawn applications - there always seemed to be areas that clearly received no or greatly reduced amounts of the fertilizer than the bulk of my lawn. Those I think must come with the territory. What I really didn't like was that the annual service is *very* "hands off" after your initial walk-through and set-up with one of their reps at your house. While portions of my lawn had obvious issues (both at the outset and at various times through the year), never was there any substantive dialogue between the person who came out to service my lawn and me. You get a sparsely-annotated bill left on your front door and that's it - if you managed to miss their courtesy call the night before your treatment, then the only way you're going to speak with anyone about your lawn is if you call them. They were receptive and helpful over the phone, but after almost a full year, I am discontinuing my service. I think it works well for some people - the kind of folks who not only pay to have their lawn treated and cared for from a health perspective, but maybe also pay someone to mow/maintain it. I am not that someone, and paying these sums (about $45 each treatment, which is around 8 times a year) for a service that is conducted when I'm not around (so I can't observe the work), appears to be rushed, and provides no real feedback on my lawn health just isn't the service for me. However, I have found their reps (both those I have run in to in person and those I've spoken with on the phone at their office) to be helpful and friendly, and if I was in a different place (figuratively) I might consider paying them to care for my lawn health again.

Excellent service and follow up. They scheduled an appointment for estimate on my convinced and followed through timely. Also gave me estimate for future service. They fertilized my front yard and back yard and they look beautiful. They later on called me after few weeks to ask if I was happy with the service performed. Will definitely recommend these guys
