When we started in 2006 from the spare room in our home, we knew we wanted to address the challenges of Central Texas soil and weather by treating employees like family and each lawn like our own. Now, with three branches across Central Texas, our growing team is still dedicated to helping ensure that folks from San Antonio to Waco have a green & weed-free lawn, healthy trees & shrubs, and fewer outdoor pests.

The project took a little longer than we expected but overall it went smoothly. The crew was always present when they said they would be and cleaned up before leaving every day. We would use this company again.
Description of Work: The company designed and built a walkway and small patio area for us. We requested that they recycle old concrete pavers that we had from a previous project . The landscape architect came out and gave us a bid and a general plan and the crew appeared as scheduled and did a superb job of completing the plan. The project turned out even better than we expected in quality and appearance. The workers were wonderfull craftsmen and we were very impressed with their skill in turning those old pavers into a lovely and study walk of which we are very proud.. They cost us a little more than other bids but we felt that ultimately the end product was worth it.

It was ok. Nice Guys but you could tell they just wanted to get done and out of there.
Description of Work: We used Emerald for an Angieslist big deal. Its an opportunity for Emerald to come and give you a lawn maintenance quote. They did perform the Aeration on the yard some weeks later. It was ok but frankly they were in a hurry and went over the yard as fast as they could. Cores were fair but it was a single pass only and fast so they didn't get very deep. It also concerned me they didn't mark any of the sprinkler lines but they also didn't appear to hit any and there was no damage. Next time I think I will do this myself and rent the machine from Home Depot so I can do multiple passes and make sure I get the yard better. BTW: My date for service was approximate. I really don't remember the date.

We booked a Fall lawn service when it was offered on Angie's List. Due to various communication snafus, the service didn't actually get performed until December--many weeks later--when it was too late to do the Fall Service and they substituted a winter treatment. There's no way of knowing whether or not this service was effective until we see what the weed situation looks like, so I can't evaluate the quality of the work. As a side note, the technician did leave a detailed note with recommendations that seem to be priced higher than other lawn services. Once we finally got the arrangements straightened out (after multiple e-mails), they were very nice to deal with, called to confirm the night before as requested, and showed up on time. So they might be wonderful but our experience is difficult to measure. We might use them again but would have to do more research on other company's prices and work.

Emerald Lawns has improved the overall quality of our lawn. I find them to be professional and courteous. I do however feel that their service is a bit expensive compared to other companies that we have interviewed, but they do have the commitment to come back between service calls if you have not received good results. Our lawn is not entirely without weeds, but I imagine that might be do to the extreme heat and drought that lawns in this area endure.
Description of Work: The services that our provided to us by Emerald Lawns are weed prevention and fertilization.

I bought the deal and scheduled the service an hour later. Emerald came out 3 days later and performed the service leaving an invoice on the front door. This is the third time I have used them so they my lawn dimensions on hand and only charge an extra $10 for each 1000 square feet. I paid $25 for the deal + $10 for the extra - so $35 total for a 6500 square foot lawn!

Great experience with aeration service. Tech came out to do analysis first and then scheduled following that. I had quite a few areas they needed to 'avoid' due to underground lighting wires etc and they were willing to work around that. Great experience. I would use them again.

It went well. We had a false alarm call telling us to get ready and water the yard and then no one came. They came out the next day, though, and were very apologetic.
Description of Work: They aerated and fertilized our yard. I asked that they only use organic products in our backyard and they were happy to accommodate. I also forgot to let the dogs in and I was very pleased they didn't make a big deal about it and just dealt with the annoyance.

Emerald Lawns had performed the same service a year prior at full cost, so this was an opportunity to have the same service done at a much lower cost. The result was the same, so its apparent they do the same work even though the cost was reduced. My yard has greatly improved over the past two years and some of that is due to the aeration even though watering has been limited because of the city's water restrictions. Very pleased!

We began lawn care service early this year and had several treatments without seeing much improvement. We only had one major issue with them and it was over mulching. We had someone come out and give an estimate for mulching our beds and trees. The estimate left on our door was for $240.00. Seemed high but we'd never had it done before so we called them and gave the green light because we had just mulched our back yard trees and bushes and it was a lot of work. They came out about a week later while we were at work and mulched. Problem was that they only mulched what we had already done ourselves. None of the other trees were done and they removed all of the new mulch we had just bought and put down. We called to complain and i spoke with the guy that did the job. He apologized, said the estimate was only for the places in the yard that were already mulched. I explained that we didn't know that, hadn't been told that, and wouldn't have given the green light for $240 if we had known that. He said he understood and would come back that day to mulch the rest of the trees. I arrived home that afternoon but nothing had been done. I called the office to complain again and was told that he did come back but there were too many trees to do and we would have to pay an additional $75 to do them for materials. We didn't want to pay additional money because we had the original estimate but were stuck so we said ok. They came out and mulched the trees in the front yard but didn't do the trees in the backyard so we had to call again. They did come back and do the final three in the back but overall it was an unpleasant experience and the quality of work in the trees not originally mulched was poor. Not enough was placed and we have grass growing up through the mulch. In the end we paid more than the estimate and didn't get enough mulch for our trees.

Response from Emerald Lawns
Member, I offer a mulching service by which we mulch only existing beds. We do not create beds that aren't already there. The trees you expected to be mulched had only grass around them and would need to have the beds cut out. I've never before had anyone misunderstand that this type of service was to be included with mulching. I called your husband and he agreed it was a miscommunication and also agreed just the additional $75 for material only was more than fair. We did the work and it looked great. You now have all your beds mulched with new beds around your numerous trees and all for only $315 which is very inexpensive. We spent a lot of time on your property. I'm sorry I couldn't do more to keep you happy but I do wish you the best moving forward.

Someone came by without any prior contact to arrange a time. Their tech knocked on the door but I did not know who they were or that they were with Emerald Lawns so I did not answer the door. Sometime afterwards, I found a written estimate to have my lawn serviced as determined needed by their analysis of the yard's condition. I sent an email to schedule only the service I pre purchased through Angie's List and their reply said I would need to call the tech who's name was on the paperwork left at my home. Before I called, I found yellow granules on the lawn, sidewalk and stepping stones around my house. I also found more paperwork left on my door explaining what service was completed and that no further payments were due. I'm happy they applied the lawn treatment but would liked for them to have cleaned it off the stepping stones. I'm grading a B overall for the lack of communication. It is too early to tell if the treatment is effective or not. If the treatment works, I think it was a good deal.
