Description of Work: Pre-emergent and fall fertilization. Bobby assessed the various issues with the lawn and recommended things we could do to remedy the issues in some way. Also left a quote for an annual program, for which we have signed up.

Estimator came by and took a look around and recommended a plan. He scheduled services and I received a call that evening telling me when they would be by. Pest and fertilizer crew came first and the next day the aeration crew. They left confirmation of the work done on the front door. Easy to deal with. Will use again.

Excellent - will use them again in the future and highly recommend them for any law service.
Description of Work: Excellent follow-up when I first called, customer service and most importantly, the work performed. A few months later, they called as a follow-up reminder of some work I should consider and ended up using them for mor services - sales call was professional and not pushy as all. I can highly recommend this company.

I purchased the $25 coupon for weed control after reviewing the companies website. There, they claim to serve the "greater Austin area". However, the following week I received a call stating that they do not go to Manor. Being closer to Round Rock (where the business is located) than many many areas in "greater Austin", I can't help but wonder why Manor is off limits. It's too bad ... with my new Tifsport Bermuda lawn being across from the model home in my still being built neighborhood they could have gotten tons of referrals from my existing and soon to be neighbors.

I'm sorry Member. I'm stretched pretty far as it is for the moment with the territories. I had planned on starting service to Manor and Buda/Kyle next year when I'm able to open up a new route but if you'd like I suppose I could start early for you. Just call me at 990-2199 and I will make sure you are taken care of. Luke Hawthorne- Owner

We've had challenges with our lawn since our house was built in 2007. The soil was not prepped prior to sodding and the actual sod leaves much to be desired. Drainage issues combined left us with a weedy, weak lawn. After meeting with several consultants, we knew we needed to aerate and add dirt, so we purchased a "Big Deal" for aeration for $50. When scheduling the appointment, I asked about topsoil and arranged for them to do that in addition to the aeration. The team was so repsponsive and did such a good job, that we signed up for their annual fertilization and weed treatment service which brought our total with Emerald to roughly excluding the "Big Deal" purchase. The folks at Emerald hand pull weeds as well as spot treat, and our lawn this year has never looked better. We will definitely continue with Emerald and hope they don't get so many clients that they lose their "mom & pop" appeal. Thanks!

I purchased a special offer through Angie's list to aerate my yard. They were quick to contact me and set up a service date. They came on the day they said they would. They did a thorough job and closed my fence gates afterward. They followed my instruction to avoid the area where the TV cable is buried since it is only three inches below the surface. I learned my lesson because I cut it once aerating my yard. Aerating has been the best thing I have done for my yard. The cost to rent an aerator and the wear and tear on your body from doing it makes $50 a great deal!
Description of Work: This is the second time I have had Emerald out to aerate my yard.

emerald lawns were prompt with there analysis of lawn condition. initial application of weed control and fertilizer was about a week later, but was not adequate. a few weeks later another technician returned and agreed that a reapplication was necessary and did so. however he left a $50.00 invoice on my door. the landscape manager contacted me a week or two later and said that invoice was a mistake and he personally came out and reapplied a liquid weed control on two separate occasions without charge. did i say my yard was in really pitiful bad shape, but now i have a greening lawn. we have aeration and other applications planned soon at reasonable rates and i would recommend their services.

Emerald Lawns performed all lawn care bought in an outstanding manner. This included top dressing/aeration service, application for grub worms, and 6 lawn applications for a healthy lawn. The owner and all employees were very helpful in improving my lawn and made appropriate recommendations for needed services. Charges were reasonable. Would definitely continue using this company.

Response from Emerald Lawns
I am so sorry you feel this way about my company. I have found that working with Angie's List in offering this coupon has been an excellent way to introduce my services to new homeowners. If it didn't work like this I could not afford to offer a $50 aeration especially considering I split the $50 with Angie's List for the opportunity in working with them and hopefully getting a few new customers that could really benefit from my services. If someone only wants to do the aeration we are happy to do so with no pressure whatsoever. In fact we do a free lawn evaluation as well and we often give free advice to the homeowner that may want to do it himself. All this being said if Mr. Wile is dissatisfied with the aeration we performed for him back in March I would be happy to discuss with him and see what I can do to rectify this.

I purchased a Groupon for Lawn Aeration services from Emerald Lawns, they did an excellent job. Although I expected to have to wait a while to schedule the service, I contacted Emerald Lawns via email, within a day I recevied a response explaining that they had a huge response to their Groupon offer and it would take them a few days to contact me for scheduling. As per their email, I received a call within 3 days to schedule the service. Within a week, they were here and did an excellent job. In addition to aeration, they also performed an analysis on my lawn making recommendations which was very helpful. I appreciate their efforts and the fact they weren't pushy. This was a company that actually delivered what they advertised in a professional manner, unlike many experiences I have had w/service companies in Austin, they were responsive, they actually seemed to want my business.

I beleive the weed and feed was done quite well and I was able to mee the tech on his second visit. He willingly walked the yard with me and took note of some of my yeard's special features that he was going to take care of, even came back a few weeks later to add to the weed control...a very nice gesture that was not requested by me yet definitely indicated that he rtook the results of my yard as his own professional work. Bed mulching was done on time and within what we had discussed. The only issue i have is that some of the flowers and ivy are missing...not certain if they werecovered up (yet I did check for this) or mistakenly pulled up thinking they were weeds. The main tech appeared knowledgable, the helper appeared to have a low level of knowledge.
Description of Work: Emerald lawns came out and applied a begiinign weed and feed to the yeard and has since serviced it twice along with an additional requested service of mulching the beds.
