For many years, TruGreen has been the industry leader in the development of new technology for lawn care. Its two in-house research and development centers are staffed with leaders in the agronomic and horticultural fields. TruGreen devotes substantial resources to continually evaluate new products and equipment and to develop better methods for taking care of grass, trees, and shrubs. Plus, our seasonal programs will ensure a greener, thicker, and more weed-free lawn for years to come.

In addition, all of the company's lawn specialists are tenured full-time employees who must complete a rigorous training program before they can be certified by TruGreen. Each specialist is trained to recognize and treat a variety of disease, insect, and weed problems and recommend appropriate maintenance practices for the customer's lawn.

Lawn Care Aeration
Yes, I recommend this pro
The service was great. There was some miscommunication between the office staff and the service guys, though. The office people told me I wouldn't need to mark my sprinklers, but the service guys were annoyed by this. As long as you take the necessary steps to make things easy on the guys doing the actual work, things should go just fine for you.

Lawn Care Aeration
I called them for aeriation and lawn care service (fertilization, weed control, etc). I called on a Monday and they told me that they'd aeriate THAT WEEK, let me overseed that weekend and they'd come back the following week to fertilize. Well 2 WEEKS LATER I come home from work and they've aeriated AND fertilized at the same time (so they're late and don't follow directions)!! I call them to complain and get an answering machine, so I leave a message asking for a call back. Well it's now been another week and NO CALL!! Not sure about all TruGreen, but this branch is very sorry and I won't be using them again!

Rated based on responsiveness; results will not be determined for several months as they are treating a "sick" tree. The service representative/salesman who came to the house offered a 10% discount if I signed up for automatic payment; however it appears that the discount has not been applied on the first payment so will have to follow this closely.

I can only rate TruGreen as far as their response time and evaluating my lawn. It has rained so therefore, I assume, could not do the treatment at this time.

They are very knowledgable, came within a week's time, and performed a very thorough aeration. They are available for detailed discussions, and elicit trust and confidence in their lawncare services.

It's really way to early to be rating or referring them to anyone. They were the first to price the job & had a good rate. We have had one treatment so far & I have noticed nothing. Of course I don't think you would at this point.

TruGreen is the only one who contacted us. We already had a contract with them but not for all organic (organic is 2X the price of non). We will go with them for another year and, in the meantime, continue to look for an all organic provider or do it ourselves.

I have only had one treatment. It isn't as effective as I would have expected for my weeds. There is one patch that doesn't even seem to be treated. However, we are just getting started and have agreed to a service program up into December

TruGreen was prompt to respond to my request for service. I am also very impressed with Paul who is Office Manager. He came out to my house to take a look at the trees which need treatment for fungus and insects and thoroughly explained what the conditions of the trees were, what to expect, and what we can do along with the treatment. I didn't expect such honest and thorough explanation about tree care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend TruGreen in Raleigh area to my family and friends.
