TruGreen charged my credit card before providing the service. Apparently I was supposed to be put on the schedule, but that part got overlooked. When I called TruGreen, 6 days after they charged me, they acted quickly to correct the mistake. Two days later the service was done. The man who showed up did a GREAT job of aerating my lawn, even got a tight spot that has always been difficult for us! I will have them back for that reason. Though in future I will voice my expectation that they do not charge me until the service is complete.

Have not received the first service yet, but their pricing was very affordable for all of the services offered.

The only thing that prevents me from giving TruGreen a five star rating is the lack of a pre-treatment assessment to determine what my lomg term needs are and how to treat specific problems. Right now I am getting good service but with a shotgun approach.

Not all areas were areated/seeded in the yard. No one called me with any questions about what should not be aereated or seeded.

Response has been very prompt and professional. There was a bit of a pressure to get more service than I felt we needed but not too bad. First application was done within a week of my call and probably could have been done faster but I was unavailable. We'll see long term how this goes - but so far so good.

Trugreen was able to have someone come out within a couple days to aerate and lime per my request so we could get it in prior to the forecasted rain. I plan on staying with them for 2009.

I have a contract with TruGreen and they have been out three times (twice to fertilize and weed kill and once to apply lime). The people are very nice and the service seems to be working, albeit slowly!! I would rate them an 8 or 9 out of 10.

They called, set us up with a treatment plan, and came the next week. We are very happy with the experience.

The lady on the phone was pleasant and friendly. The pricing is fair. The service was efficient. The grass is green. The man who came to estimate was friendly and moderately knowledgeable.

I've had only one treatment (out of 8) so far, so it's early in the process; however, so far, so good. The first treatment already killed much of the clover (which was a major problem). Kirk

Lawn Care Fertilize or Treatment Service
I am dissatisfied about the 4th service. The service team showed up without calling ahead of time as agreed. The treatment is worthless at this time due lawn is under a huge landscape construction. The front and back yards are all turned upside down with the patio and walk way construction. Trees were cut off and shrubs were dugged out. And I was still being charged for the entire amount of the service. I selected Trugreen with trust and believe the team is professional. When I called the office to complaint and cancel the service, the sales team was not listening and very rough over the phone. It is very disappointing.

My lawn is looking awesome after only 2 applications, only issue with TruGreen is they constantly call offering other services without much explanation. Stop all the telemarketing please

My assessment is based on my interactions with the business that led me to hire them. Someone from TruGreen spent time on the phone with me, patiently answering my questions. Unlike the other contractors, they sent someone to assess my lawn and then called me with the results. They worked harder for my business.

The company rep went over everything as far as what they would do for my lawn and the cost. He was very patience and answered all my questions. I will have my first treatment by the end of this week (week of 4 Jun) and they will reseed my lawn in the fall. I can't wait to see my lawn improve over the next few months.
