Project: Aerate a Lawn
Pros: 1. They are very responsive about coming out on schedule 2. They did fine job aerating my lawn Cons: 1. Asked them to over-seed my lawn -- had to do it a second time because they are very reserved with their seeding practices. 2. Be very wary of signing up for even one service with them as they exercise a predatory practice whereas soon as you start any service with them they take that as confirmation to subscribe you to their renewing annual treatment care. They came out unauthorized this new year, dropped some fertilizer, then tried to bill me for it.
Response by Rutland Turf Care: Justin- You know as well as I do this is a blatant lie. At the time of sale, you are told that service rolls over from season to season. EVERY invoice we leave for you states that service rolls over from season to season. We sent you a renewal letter to YOUR home in January stating we will be out to service the lawn. We also sent 3 different emails to YOUR email address confirming that we will be out to service the lawn. We ALSO called you ahead for the 1st treatment of the season to which you didn't respond. Then, after the treatment was done, you decided to call in and say you didn't authorize service conveniently AFTER we did it. We do not make changes to your account. That is YOUR responsibility. We are a service just like your cell phone provider, your cable provider, your oil company ANYONE who provides a service to you. The service rolls over from season to season so that your service isn't interrupted. The good news is, all it takes is a phone call to cancel YOUR account and it is done. Instead, you disregarded mail sent to your house, you disregarded every invoice we left you, you also disregarded every email we sent you AND you even disregarded a personal phone call letting you know we would be out the next day to service the property. What else could we have done honestly to try to let you know we were coming out to service? You know you were in the wrong as we even have it recorded when you called in yesterday to complain and you admit that you got the VM and chose not to respond. That is on YOU, not use. Stop trying to hurt and badmouth a family company doing honest work because YOU didn't cancel a service that you knew was coming to treat your lawn. With the bigger picture in mind, does it really make sense to you, for us to come out to your lawn and not get paid? Of course not as we are not in the business of losing money as we do when we service a lawn for someone who doesn't pay. Lastly, your comment about the seeding was ANOTHER blatant lie. You never called in any complaints about the seeding(we record every interaction with our customers so nice try)We NEVER came out to your property to put more seed down as we put down 4-5 lbs of seed per 1000 sq feet (0.93 a) for an aeration and overseeing. Industry standard is 2-3 lbs per 1000 sq feet (0.93 a), so once again we go above and beyond. The aeration and overseeing is done together, not separate. How dare you continue to lie about us and our business. Don't EVER contact us again

Project: Aerate a Lawn
HomeAdvisor sent this request 1 week after making deal with Rutland. It is now Oct.4. Superficial application of product. Aeration and over seeding was a joke. Aerator is unable to manage slope navigation. Unable to go close to buildings or structures.Seed did not grow on 95% of seeded portion. Some of the home office person(s) lied to me. Squirrels are having a good time digging in my lawn. Grubs? I do not know!
Response by Rutland Turf Care: Mr Ellin- I think you are leaving out ALOT of pertinent information. You didn't start with us until July 11th 2018, well into the season. When we came out to do the very first service, you sent the technician away. Then you emailed us about the weeds, which wouldn't have been treated as you had sent the technician away. We finally did the treatment on 8/8 after much back and forth and the technician noted, and you had mentioned in emails to us, that your lawn and mainly the slope was destroyed by grubs previously. We have the pictures that you sent us on 7/25 about the condition of your lawn to prove the shape your lawn was in, which was poor to say the least. That ONE fertilization on 8/8 is the only time you allowed a fertilizer and weed control to be applied by us to your lawn. I hardly think that is a fair shot to repair and fix your lawn over an entire season especially based on the condition. As for the aeration and overseeding that you agreed to, we called you to get that scheduled and you told us you were going on vacation and you wanted to be there to water the lawn. So you agreed upon a date with our office manager Heidi who then gave you a call ahead on the 7th of September to let you know we would be out the next day which was a Saturday. We came out in good faith and did the aeration and seeding. You emailed us that Sunday saying you weren't home and it shouldn't have been done, even though you and Heidi agreed to that timeframe. As for the quality of work, we used 10 lbs of sun and shade mix on your 3000 sq foot lawn which equates to 3.3 lbs per 1000 sq feet. A typical overseeding calls for 2-3 lbs per 1000. As for the aerator, we would have to leave about a 6-8 inch gap around ANY obstacles. as to not damage with a 300 lb machine including your walkways, side of house etc. As for seed not growing in the lawn, you, yourself, told Gary our Operations Manager that the seed was filling in, especially on the slope area that was previously damaged by the grubs. You have also refused to pay for the service still to this date. As for the squirrels, IF they were eating grubs, it would be very easy to tell as you would be able to see them all over the place and the lawn would pull up like a carpet and you would see the grubs plain as day. They are not grubs, because fortunately, with the 1 fertilizer treatment we were allowed to perform, we also did your preventative grub control. So, I am 100% confident it is not grubs. Squirrels also like to bury food in the ground this time of the year..... as I am sure you're aware of. We have tried to work with you on numerous occasions throughout the season. It is very hard to run a timely program when you are continually being sent away from doing the work or told not to show up. It is unfortunate that we couldn't work together as a team, but we have been committed to our customers for our 60+ years in business when we are able to do the work we need to do. We thank you for everything and wish yo

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
