Tru Green is the worst company with whom I have ever dealt.
Description of Work: I set up service and was required to contact the 800 number, which is NOT the Newport News office. I went through badgering to set up payment through my bank account, which I refused, and seems to be an often used ploy as described by many on the internet. No mention of service date, EVER, no call, nothing. They came, weeks later, dumped fertilizer, even on my roses, and left. There was no lawn assessment done. I called to cancel, as this was not the type of "service" I wanted. Since my call, I have been contacted by Tru Green time and time again. The first was when the technician, the "expert' was to call me. He didnt call. Today, I was called by yet another person at their company, who told me they are 'experts" and wouldnt just dump fertilizer. Well, folks, that is exactly what they did..When I said, your guy even dumped lawn fertilizer on my roses, he said, hmmmmmmm.. My lawn is now burned in spots, all dark brown, and just ugly and pathetic. I will never use this company and I will tell anyone around who is looking for lawn service to stay clear of them. Read the reports on the internet. These are real people.

They have been good. I get the annual service which is for the whole year. We had them when we first moved in and they had a nice lawn back then. Once they went with the other company, the front yard looked pretty good all the time, but the back yard was practically nothing. There was almost no grass. When we came back from California, the lawn was practically gone. I wondered what had happened. It turned out that they had merged with another company and each one thought that the other side was taking care of our lawn for us. Neither one came out and treated the yard for about 2 to 3 months, so it didn't get its pre-emergence treatment. We switched to another company because of that but that company never could bring that yard back. I had liked TruGreen so I called them and when I told them, they apologized and requested me to give them another chance. I decided to give it back to them and see if they could bring the lawn back. They have only had it a couple of months. It seems to be getting better. I think they will be able to do it. They have been easier to talk to and more eager to do a good job. They are more flexible and are trying to please me. The price is average because it is the same as what the previous company charged. They have done two treatments and it is the same dose. I can see some improvement. They came out and gave it another shot of weed killer. They told me that the grass won't grow in there as long as it has to fight the weeds. It already seems to be closing in a little bit. It's been about 10 days since they came out and did that. I am hopeful. It's not something that's going to happen overnight. They slipped up the last time but anybody could have a slip up. Even I do once in a while. Their responsiveness is excellent. They come when they say they will. They are professional. I would recommend them to someone else. They took care of my lawn before. They can do it again. In the fall after they do aerating and seeding, I will probably notice a big difference.
Description of Work: I am using TruGreen for lawn services. They came out about a week ago and sprayed for weeds.

They are nationwide, so that allowed me to not worry if they were legitimate and that kind of stuff. I would give them an A. Obviously, they have the longer term care where they come out six times a year, and I think they are a little over priced for that, but when it comes to the aeration and seeding I think they are an A. The service is an A, but the overhead administration and management is lacking. In terms of timeliness of response, I give them an A, but in terms of responsiveness to my specific desires or direction, I would give them a B.
Description of Work: Tru Green Chemlawn did seeding and aeration for me.

Signed on with Tru Green around March/April of 2010 to help get my lawn looking good (new house/ugly lawn). They were quick to come out and get me to sign up for the service, but getting the initial lawn spraying done was a bit of a problem. After several calls to them (and several weeks) they finally came out and did the initial spraying. That was pretty much the only glitch...they came out every 6-8 weeks to spray the lawn like clockwork. The weeds were kept at a minimum and the yard looked good. Overall, they did what they said they would..so no complaints.
Description of Work: Initial spray for weeds then periodic treatments.

Tru green promised to turn my lawn around. I told them in the beginning that I was giving them a year. After at least $1000, my lawn showed zero, and I mean zero improvement. Weeds still abound and the grass is very splotchy (just the way it started out). I terminated the service after the year. Whats worse is that they continue to call asking if they can come back. Save your money, do it yourself or find a company that will give you something for your money.

The yard never looked worse. When I spoke to the technician, he said he "had a business on the side" and he'd be willing to come out and treat my yard himself. I couldn't help but wonder where he was getting the chemicals he was using in his personal business.

Every time I call Tru Green the person on the other end of the phone is very helpful and very happy to answer my call. I would recommend the office staff to anyone I just do not like the treatment services anymore.

When I first hired Tru Green, it was done on their reputation and other recommendations. Although the technician was always on time and had a positive demeanor, the actual performance was not that good. The lawn improved in spots, but got worse in others.

I could see the difference they made in my yard. The front yard was beautiful, thick and green. They took the time to explain to me the chemicals they used because I had cats. They were always nice, clean cut and hard working.

I really have only had one instance where they kind of made me mad and needed to address them. In the fall, the leaves had not yet been raked and they went ahead and put down fertilizer anyway. After I told them about it, they made it there priority to not let it happen again. We have not had a single problem since. Other than that, they are a nice group of people. They are always on schedule and never cancel any appointments set. I also feel their pricing is very reasonable. I pay them per visit.

I just wasn t getting anything accomplished with the lawn as I wanted, and even after giving it a few treatments there wasn t a noticeable difference. They were persistent that it would take before long, but I just couldn t see spending the money. The lawn wasn t any better off healthy wise than before I started using them.

I have been using Tru Green for over ten years. They maintained the lawn at my old house as well, and they have always done a great job. The technician is on time, and very personable. The treatments only take twenty minutes, and if there is any areas the need extra treatment he deals with it accordingly. My lawn looks fantastic, and will continue to look that way as long as I stay with Tru Green.

For the most part they are ok. The regular maintenance of the lawn is pretty good. They spreaded the fertilizer and weed killer down very well. It is keeping the grass green and the weeds down. However, once a year I have them aerate and seed the yard. They seem to do the worst possible job; they get very sloppy and throw seeds everywhere and rush through the job.
