Rich and his team are top notch. Have been using True Green for 4 years now and my lawn couldnt look better. The whole crew treats my lawn like it is their own. Thank you for grear service and professionalism. read more

I regret going back to this unreliable company. Their guys don't spray properly, most of the time they barely walk around the whole property. One of their guys once told he's not paid enough to do a good job. Last incident was when they sent a technician to assess a yellowing grass area. He left saying he left a note in the system and they should be calling me to schedule a treatment. They never did and when I called them back they had no clue about what their technician said or entered in their system. Dragged me for two weeks promising a manager would be calling me back which never happened. Worst service read more

Pictures after 3 years plus of TruGreen service. Dead grass everywhere (we did NOT have a drought). Lots of weeds and crab grass. I have an actual YouTube video of the service technician doing part of my front lawn and then sitting in his truck and driving off and charging for a full service. These pictures are the best parts of the lawn in August 2025. I cannot recommend this company, you're better off looking elsewhere. https://youtu.be/PiJ4SPjdAWY?si=5m0jk5bPhAd_t9Ag read more

This has nothing to do with the service or employees.....but if you have a garden or flower beds beware. The employee was told to stay away from the flower beds and garden when he sprayed and I believe he did. The spray gets in the air and it kills garden plants and flower beds. The grass has looked ok but this is a deal breaker. Like I said no complaints with the employees. Just gonna have to find another way to keep the lawn up. read more

I had been a loyal customer for two years, but during my June service they sent a new technician who completely destroyed my lawn -- he burned and killed all of my beautiful, healthy green grass. What followed was an absolute nightmare. Their office has zero communication with their technicians, so every time someone showed up, they had no idea what was going on or what needed to be fixed. I spent months chasing them down for answers, and it wasn't until October that they finally came back -- only to do a halfhearted "fix" that didn't work at all. My lawn is still ruined. I ultimately had to cancel my contract and hire another company to repair the damage they caused. A lawn care company that can't even fix grass -- unbelievable. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. read more

worst lawn service possible. technicians are not knowledgeable, just spray what ever is on the truck and run. I have 1 acre and they are there for less than 10 minutes. read more

I have cancelled different services and this Trugreen branch never cancels. They add additional services and use my credit card illegally to bill me for hundreds and hundreds of dollars over my original service. When I address it, they claim they will credit me. I get more charges. Phone customer service does not remove cards even when they claim they do. I finally removed my credit card from online but I don't know if it will stop them from somehow using it. They should be sued. This year is over $1,000!!! read more

TruGreen aerated my lawn but I did not ask them. CS said when I paid for their aeration service last year, I signed up for annual plan. I did not sign up for that, there was nothing in the billing statement or anything on the website. SCAM !! Furthermore, TRUGreen sent me a text at 7:13 AM saying they were coming, I was on the road. Thought it was a mistake since I did not sign up for it; get home and see my lawn is "aerated." I never received any confirmation booking or request for a scheduling. Now I have to deal with my broken sprinkler heads... I always flag /mark the heads when I schedule an aeration. Who aerates in August ? It's too hot to lay any seed down... Right before ending the call, casually asked - you took me off this annual program, right? CS said no, b/c I didn't ask... ah hello, that's why I called you. What a scam... bad way of building repeat business. CS - ended the call with the standard speech, "please think of us for your lawn needs..." told him, yeah not going to happen again..."fool me once..." read more

My lawn has never looked this terrible and when I asked them if they could come and fix it they told me that I wasn't scheduled for such treatment and it would have to wait till the fall. Now I have a half bare lawn but they did say that they would give me a discount all I want is the green lawn that I was promised. When I told them that I wanted to cancel my service they started harassing me with multiple phone calls a I told them please don't call again just cancel my service but they are still calling me back. Total mistake and waste of money read more

Not good is a huge understatement, tru green are awful. The quality of service is awful Punctuality is awful They cancel last minute for no reason They claimed landscapers were on my property when they weren't And all they try to do is sell you more, even sending messages saying 'our specialist found x, would you be interested in buying a service for x' when someone came to treat for that previously. Awful, awful, awful. Nothing good about tru green read more

Horrible lawn care company. I signed up with them this year and they have destroyed My yard. Nothing but weeds and more weeds. I now have weeds I've never seen before. There is absolutely no way to contact the local office, you get diverted to a call center who are about as dumb as a rock. They lie to you about when they're coming and then never show Up. I am supposed to have 7 treatments this season and they've only done 2. Do not waste your money on this company. I regret ever hiring them. I wish I would have checked Yelp before I hired them. They should call themselves TruWeeds or TruDistruction. read more

TruGreen a TruRed flag. I never used them but I called up for a free analysis. They gave me an immediate price without looking at my lawn. When I asked about an analysis he said I'm looking at it now on satellite, you pay by the size. He asked if I got any coupons. I told him 50% off the first treatment. He told me $148 a treatment. I asked him if that included seeding, he said yes. I then specifically asked if the seeding was included in $148 he told me that was an extra $798. Every minute he was asking for my credit card number. I told him I wanted to think about it, He said "This offer is ONLY good RIGHT NOW". I asked him, what if I called back in an hour. Again he said" ONLY RIGHT NOW I can't give it to you in an hour. Talk about a red flag for a scam. With all the one star ratings I'm glad I'm not using them. Do not walk but RUN AWAY. Addendum added. Over the next week TruGreen called me 11 times including 7:30 AM the next morning. This can definitely be considered harassment. The message they left is they would give me bigger discounts. What is also interesting is they kept calling me from different numbers (because I blocked their number after each call). read more

This is an update. Since the July I have been calling Trugreen to cancel my services do to damages to my lawn for the second time. They are still charging me. I just called Trugreen to complain about the charges and they said it was never cancel. I called them several time to cancel because they kept charging me every month. Now the rep said he can't cancel till a manager calls me. Everytime I call they say a manager is going to call me...Why isn't the issue resolve since July. A rep answered to my yelp complain, stating for me to send her my info and somebody will get back to me,,,,,guess what NO CALL as of today. read more

AVOID AVOID You will only be paying for headache!! This season has been a complete nightmare with multiple reschedules and customer service calls because they come with the wrong equipment, not enough product, or techs straight up lie and say the customer requested a reschedule (which I never did). One star because when it was completed correctly the product did work. Not worth the headache with this branch/company!!! read more

TruGreen provided me with eight service appointments over an entire summer in order to eliminate weeds and crab grass from my yard. At the end of the summer my yard looked no different than it did before I hired TruGreen for its service. There were several appointments that prompted my neighbor to inform me that the workers sent to spray my yard were only covering small portions and not throughly covering the entire yard. I'm almost compelled to contact the Better Business Bureau and request an investigation as to the chemicals (or lack thereof) being used by this company. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING ANY OTHER LAWN SERVICE IN REGARDS TO REMOVING WEEDS FROM YOUR LAWN. read more

DO NOT JUST BELIEVE ME. JUST READ REVIEWS ANYWHERE YOU CAN FOR THIS COMPANY BEFORE YOU CONTRACT WITH THEM! Spent a lot of money last November to put in a completely new sod lawn and sprinkler system contracted with tru green to protect my substantial investment . I've call them an email several times to voice my concern about areas of grass that are dying they sent a kid out who said there is nothing wrong it's just humid and my grass needs water funny that it gets water everyday You can see and one picture along the house where it's darker green I added some seed and fertilizer where the grass was dying off and it's greener than the rest of my sod lawn which is in dire need of fertilizer which they say NOTHINGS WRONG All this company wants to do is apply fertilizer they don't have the ability to diagnose lawn disease Customer service is the worst ever and they're healthy lawn guarantee his just a lot of BS read more

TruGreen is absolutely horrible. They have failed to provide service for my lawn for two months - schedule appointments and cancel at the last minute. I have called numerous times and they reschedule only to have it canceled at the last minute. My lawn has fungus and weeds throughout and they don't seem to care. read more

My suggestion for anyone who is considering using TruGreen for lawn maintenance is simply "Don't". I live in Bergen County NJ, and coincidentally, the local TruGreen operation is based in my home town. No "home field advantage" to be enjoyed, however. Starting with the false promises made by my sales rep, and continuing with extremely poor work by their techs ( had to call them several times for a second application of the weed killer treatments, and they had the nerve to attempt to bill me for one of the repeat treatments (they called it an additional "customer-requested" visit). If my lawn looked even marginally better with TruGreen's services, I wouldn't be writing this review, but the truth is, that for most of the summer months, my lawn looked noticeably worse than it had in previous years, when I had maintained it myself. I accidently "discovered" that my service was going to be auto-renewed (I made the mistake of paying via credit card, and the fine-print on my contract listed this commitment) for next year, so when I called the sales rep to let him know that I had no intention of using TruGreen ever again, he didn't ask my "why", or try to have me re-up for 2022. I guess he receives so many cancellations, he figures it's not worth his effort to try to retain existing customers. I give this organization a a half-star, and that's being generous. Can't believe that the PGA designates TruGreen as the "Official Lawn Care Treatment Provider of the PGA TOUR. read more

It is always a battle with this locally owned TruGreen. They never show up when scheduled and when they finally do, the service guys never have the correct order. They can't change it onsite due to NYS regulations either. They have treated my neighbors lawns instead of my lawn and Visa versa. Definitely one of the worst managed businesses in the area. Buyer beware!!!! read more

This is nothing but a scam. I asked to have someone come talk to me about the service and they sent someone and did an application. I have two dogs and one of the questions was about how safe was this. Now I'm stuck in the house with two dogs until I can figure out how toxic this is. If you look at the reviews which I didn't you see they have one star. That's because you can't give them no stars. Update: I'm going to file a police report. read more

Horrible lawn care company. They regularly don't show up. There is absolutely no way to contact the local office unless thye call you to sell you the service. What ever you do DO NOT PREPAY ANYTHING . If you do call you get diverted to a call center who are kind but about as dumb as a rock. They lie to you about when they're coming and then never show. I had an over seed and aeration scheduled. it would be 2 weeks before they could come so I scheduled it. Then they didn't show. I called to complain so they rescheduled after I spoke with a manager who assured she would add to the work order " don't skip this customer". LOL LOL ... They didn't show again AND the person I spoke to about them NOT showing the second time had no record of them being rescheduled. What a joke. Its not really a lawn service company its a Monty Python skit or a Dave Chappelle skit. LOL LOL LOl read more

We've used TruGreen for 3 years to treat our yard for ticks and mosquitos. Last year the techs would not show up unless I called to schedule a date, despite having paid up front in full for monthly treatment. This year I didn't renew my contract, however they continued to show up and bill me for services. The last two services the tech only treated for mosquitos and not ticks, even though I was charged for a full tick and mosquito treatment. I called customer support where I cancelled any future service and was eventually given a partial refund for those two dates. A local manager was supposed to contact me to discuss the issue and schedule a re-application for the tick treatment. I never heard from anyone, and instead a tech showed up with less than 24 hours notice today and once again only treated for mosquitos. I'm not sure if this is managerial ineptitude, or a local branch trying to reduce costs by not doing the full application customers pay for, either way I highly recommend finding another company. read more

This is a cautionary tale for potential buyers and is consistent with all the other 1 star reviews of these folks on Yelp. Naive me for not reading the reviews BEFORE hiring them! Let me preface this by saying I am very particular about my lawn and garden and over my lifetime I have learned a thing or two about growing grass and ornamental flowers and plants. Knowledge comes with a price however -- that means in such matters I am an educated consumer and hard to please. In a moment of weakness (literally) I was sold on lawn service by an earnest looking young man, a fellow Marine Corps veteran, who used his military background as a marketing tool to sell trust, and promised me he will always make things right if anything isn't. He failed to do what he promised. Strike one. I was charged for services that were not supplied and for services that were not cleared by me in advance. Strike 2. TruGreen ruined my shrubs with chemicals and then refused to warranty their service. Strike 3. Despite frequent calls and emails to this salesman and his manager seeking a polite solution, no one responded, and eventually I had no choice but to contest the credit card charges with my bank. Game over. We live in a cynical world -- and because many of TruGreen's competitors have earned equally scathing reviews online, not only does the TruGreen experience leave a bad taste, but it also fuels my growing distrust of the entire industry. I guess it's time for me to dust off the spreader, hike up my socks and DIY - again! Or maybe, ask a neighbor for a better steer? read more

i started using tru green this year and I am utterly disappointed and upset with the way the lawn looks . I have taken care of my lawn and had some weed issues last year and decided to use them this year summer of 2023 . Let me tell you my lawn is destroyed . I had called them because when I returned from vacation my front lawn was over run with crab grass even though they have been servicing my lawn since April 2023 . I had called them to tell them They came and resprayed but sprayed areas that had no issues and the graas was lush green before . Now half my lawn is dead .I have huge Brown spots on my lawn and you can see the hose marks it's as if they sprayed areas where the technician thought it was crab grass but it was not I am definetely not renewing my contract . read more

Rockland TruGreen will kill your lawn because they do not do the work in a timely manner, when you call to see where their employees are there is always an excuse why your service is being rescheduled. When they do show up, they are young kids who don't give a crap about the lawn they just do what they're told. In the meantime the lawn developed more and more weeds and killed the property. Thanks TruGreen, I'm now going to go and enjoy a walk in my brown grass! read more

TruGreen Lawn Care - Zoom in to see weed growth and dead grass - Pest Control Near Me - Upper Saddle River, New Jersey

I used this company for about two years for my mosquito spraying. The first year was just ok. They claim to come out and do a free second spraying if you still see mosquitos and the first year they would come back out to RESPRAY. But the second year was HORRIBLE. They would not come out at all to respray. My property was filled with mosquitos and Customer contact for the Yonkers Area was horrible. This year I'm trying The Mosquito Corp, so far so good. We have been able to use yard without needing to run from mosquitos. read more

THEY SUCK! DO NOT USE THEM!! I was lied to by tru green. I specifically called them for weed killer/control. They came out on 7/21. My weeds are still growing at a rapid pace. I had them back out today, 7/31, and the lawn tech told me that it doesnt look like any weed control was put down. so i called tru green and told them this. They confirmed that no weed control was put down on 7/21. I called in on 7/29 to book the appointment for 7-31, and the rep told me weed control was put down. So they lied to me. Lying to customers is a no no. I requested a credit for half the amount bcs they only did half the job on the first application. The rep, Alicia, was not listening to me. She kept talking over me and really could give a shit about the fact that I was lied to. She denied my request for half credit for first visit. I told her to than cancel the 2nd visit. She was gung ho to cancel it. She really didnt care that tru green was losing a customer. Bad decision on her part. This was the first time I ever used a company for my lawn. I have been doing my lawn for 17 years and I know how it works. I was using tru green this year bcs I had back surgery and needed it done. I think I will resume doing it myself! Shame on you Tru Green. Bad customer ser read more

I ordered trugeens complete service in April. Today is June 5th and it's time to cancel. My lawn started getting red spots and trugree is saying it is not covered under this complete service. Not only that I now have clover issues and some kind of creeping ivy that has invaded. Obviously that has not been treated yet either. I've now made 3 calls and can not get a manager to respond. If you need a lawn service look elsewhere. I do not like to bash companies on line like this because my anonymity is not something I want to hide behind. Here is my phone number if they would like to discuss. 973-xxx-xxxx . Here are the problems in pictures. 11/07/16 I had left my telephone number in this review to give the business a chance to correct the situation. Today I xxx the number. The business never contacted me. read more

Not a good start. They did weed co trol , airation and seed. Not one blade of grass came up. I called for reseeding and it took almost two weeks. It is almost November. They were supposed to show up today and did not. So I still.have a yard filled with mud. Made the mistake if paying upfront. Now. Sorry read more

They let me down big time this year. Came back for second service and seemed to have made it worse. Trying to include photos, because seeing is believing. What has happened to this usually boiler-plate service? I am at a loss to explain. read more

I would not use them. We tried them for 2 years & our lawn problems did not improve at all. They are unreliable. They fail to show up for scheduled appointments, then show up unexpectedly without getting our permission or even calling to tell us they were coming. We have been repeatedly telling them to cancel our service for the last 6 weeks. They call us every day to ask about coming back. But they are impossible to reach by phone; every time I call, I go through their voice menu, only to hear "estimated wait time is 1-2 hours." They are unable to communicate, they don't follow instructions, & their products don't work. With so many other comparable services around, you must be able to find a better service than TruGreen. read more

They are the worst. Not only is their practice scummy by auto rebilling customers, but the results speak for themselves. My lawn treated 6 times last year from them looked WORSE then my neighbors who never did anything to his. With threat of calling the cops for trespassing was the only way to cancel any services. DO NOT USE EVER. Go to your local hardware store and either ask the employees or just ask people around what product they use and you will get the same if not better results. read more

The worst! Don't waste your time, I prepaid for the new service 178 $- grub control. I paid for it 1 month ago and still waiting for them to do the service. I called multiple times, different info from different customer service people,and today is the third day i am waiting for call back from the supervisor. Unprofessional and uncommitted time wasters! AVOID!!! read more

I have this lawn care service for about 3 years. For the first 2 years I was very happy, not many issues, however this year, horrible service, I had weeds growing out of everywhere, when I called the company, the service person came and sprayed my front lawn, only to leave brown patches of where the weed was growing, killed my grass!! I called and the service center, when I explained what happened, they said they that I still had to pay for the service even after killing my grass. I canceled my service, was very upset! They did offer to come back, they showed up without notice and just see a person outside, He told me it could be fixed, later I see another bill in my house! I call to find out what that is, the customer service girl tells me, "what I can do for you is give you a discount for what they did, and you only have to pay 50% of the bill!" I was livid! Needless to state, I asked to speak to a manager, all of the sudden they were able to cancel everything! DO NOT USE THEM! read more

TruGreen Lawn Care - Pest Control Near Me - Upper Saddle River, New Jersey

PLEASE READ as I am beyond frustrated with this company. I was called by a salesman in late winter who was very persistent. I finally gave in as he marked down the seasonal service significantly. (Keep in mind that phrase, "you get what you pay for"). My first service was done on a day that was raining. This goes against any logic of fertilizer and weed application. The technician couldn't answer questions and customer service lacks knowledge and is rude. Despite telling me that they would spot treat the edges and any weeds they see, they never did. My lawn is full if crab grass and other weeds that I have never seen before. Prior to the second application, I wanted to speak to a supervisor about the timing of fertilizing. That never happened and the technician showed up anyway to perform the service. Like many lawns in my area due to drought conditions, mine has suffered. However, my lawn is the worst lawn in the neighborhood with more damage than any of the others. A "salesman" called me as a result of my inquiry and tried to sell me an aerating and over seeding service. They refuse to send someone to look at my lawn. They will not listen!! I have no idea what products they used but it did nothing...may as well have been water. My neighbors do not have their lawns professionally treated and theirs look so much better. In the past, I have always used the 4 applications to take care of my lawn and it was beautiful! It was the envy of the neighborhood. I am filled with regret over this decision. They refuse to come out and survey the damage. They continue to contact me to sell me more services for shrubs, etc. They DO NOT care about the results of the lawn service, only making a profit by selling you product and services. I was told last week that a manager/supervisor would contact me and I have not heard a word. It will take several years to repair and re grow this horrific site. True Green is awful!! read more

Avoid these crooks!! Even one star is one too many, this should get a 'zero'. We made an inquiry in 2016, received a quote, decided not to go with them. This spring they just showed up at our house in the Hudson Valley, leaving 'TruGreen' signs all over the yard, claiming that they treated our plants. Leaving also an invoice over several hundred of dollars. Upon inquiry, they claim that we signed a contract last year, which is a complete lie. We will not pay a cent. As a matter of fact we will sue them for trespassing and unsolicited spraying of our property. Those are complete crooks and no one should ever do business with them. read more

I'd give it no stars if I could! Based on all the junk mail I get from them even though I live in a condo they can't be a good business. I requested to be removed from their mailing list and it doesn't stop. Any business that so pushy can't be any good. read more

We've had an awful experience with TruGreen. Their lawn treatments have been totally ineffective, as shown in the photos, in part because they seem to seed at the wrong times (they just seeded on a scorching hot early August day) and apply seed and fertilizer patchily and incompletely leading to a rash of crab grass and other weeds. They've tried to upsell us a number of times with treatments for our flowerbeds as bushes (which have contradicted the advice of our gardener) but are otherwise totally unresponsive. We've emailed and called to complain about the service and have not gotten any response. Most amazingly, they just came while we weren't home and applied a treatment we didn't request and charged our credit card more than $200 for it. We've complained and still not heard anything back from them -- we had to call our credit card company. Buyer beware here. read more
