So far, so good. I was searching for a company to help get my yard in shape. I enjoy mowing and edging, so I mostly needed help with weeds and bare spots in my three acre lawn.
I called Andy on his personal phone. He was referred by another local company that does not service my rural area. He was extremely nice and answered all of my questions with ease.
He came out the first day that was convenient for the both of us. We walked around my yard and he pointed out multiple grass species (Zoysia, Centipede, and an invasion of Bahiagrass) and any weeds he spotted (Mostly Virginia buttonweed and crab grass). Instead of asking me which services I wanted, he asked what I was looking to accomplish.
He did not try to convince me to get any services I didn't want or need. I told him what I wanted from my lawn, and that I was not in any hurry for miracle results.
With that in mind, we worked out a treatment plan that would weed and strengthen the healthy Zoysia grass in the front yard. Then we will slowly push back the centipede and Bahiagrass grass I don't want in the other areas of the lawn, and let the Zoysia spread more easily to those areas.
He did not try to sell me a bag of goods, when it came to the dry patchy areas in my backyard under two big old oak trees. I need from my own research, that getting grass to grow in those areas was a lost cause. He told me exactly what I expected to hear.
He told me we would leave the unwanted areas alone, until we got to them. The front yard will be treated with a pre and post emergent and fertilized when it is most effective.
My husband had warned me how expensive those services can be. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the price for an entire year, (seven treatments) was barely more than I expected to pay for a single treatment.
A tech named Ryan came today and applied the first treatment. He was so noninvasive, by the time my territorial dog barked, he was already hard at work in the front yard. He was on task and finished up quickly. He was packed up and gone, by the time I took my dog inside and fed and watered her.
I am a new customer whose lawn was just treated for weed control. So, I can't attest to the effectiveness of the treatment at this time. I will update my review with that information at a later date.
So far, everyone I have spoken with has been extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. They even helped me identify an insect that has swarmed to my oak trees in the past few days. Andy helped me determine what I should and shouldn't do, when it comes to caring for my lawn on my end.
Based on customer service, I will happily recommend TruGreen to anyone who will listen. They have been a pleasure to work with . read more
