Get matched with top lawn care fertilize or treatment pros in Centerville, MA

"The pro has been servicing our Mclean property quite well for a couple of years. Our lawn looks good and we are satisfied with the service. The customer service is sometimes underwhelming but it gets the job done at a reasonable cost which is really becoming harder by the day to get."

"In Brewster, MA my lawn started off this spring best it had ever been. The service that did this didn't do regular fertilizing and weed control so I contracted with Lawn Doctor for Brewster and Newton. One week after the June treatment in Brewster our lawn started showing patches of dying grass in multiple locations including curved swathes where their tractor had to make turns on my yard. It was similar to the occasions when I had overtreated my lawn with fertilizer/weed killer. I contacted my rep at Lawn Doctor who urged me to wait (even though I sent him photos) and I regularly informed him that the lawn was not improving. He urged me to add another treatment called Summer Guard for extra cost without ever acknowledging they had damaged my lawn. I agreed and then changed my mind and cancelled everything out of frustration and distrust. They still showed up early one morning for a weed and fertilizer application which seemed to make things worse. Even though I had cancelled the Summer Guard and they never applied it, my credit card was charged $113. I asked for refunds as per their satisfaction guarantee and they offered a minimal $30 refund and then charged my card another $95! I had enough and talked to someone again to cancel both Brewster and Newton. All that happened was they acknowledged the cancellation. I then contacted my credit card company to dispute the past 4 charges and ultimately the credit card company decided to replace my credit card so Lawn Doctor couldn't charge it again. What a huge mistake!"

"We received an initial quote from Harris & Co. based on a recommendation from a coworker to replace a backyard deck with a stone patio. I received three quotes from various contractors. Harris's quote was the most expensive but I went with Joshua Harris's company anyway for the following reasons: * Joshua had a complete treatment that included landscaping (which ultimately I did not do), pavers, lowering of the ground, demolition, fire pit, and seating wall. * They were responsive, using text and email and replying promptly. * Joshua Harris had a better vision for the project than I did! He envisioned a wall, lighting, making the patio extremely large (due to the limited space in the backyard, he thought that leaving a bit of grass would be pretty pointless). Ultimately, it was the completeness of the vision that drew me to use his service. Since he does landscaping, lighting, and tons of stuff, Joshua will give you a pretty complete treatment. This costs you. I think that you get what you pay for, but it's something to keep in mind. If you have a budget, keep your discipline and see what aspects that you can go without! That all said, we went all out for this project and added a long wall, accent pavers, a large fire pit, and lighting. This was an extremely expensive project for us, but it's been worth it as the end result is rather beautiful and makes the space much more usable. Before, we wouldn't even leave out the back door because the deck was so small and the yard was so dreary, but the large 28' stone patio makes the space inviting and easy to walk across, even when we're not entertaining. As for the work, I was impressed by the amount of communication that was provided. They contacted me almost every day to let me know if they were going to arrive to work and informed me if circumstances (usually rain, sometimes illness) affected the schedule. Joshua was overall very professional. There were occasionally circumstances though that affected what could be done at any point - for example a certain model of lamp I requested wasn't available, so I had to get a different one; in another case one of the bulbs burned out and I had to reach out to get it replaced. The final thing is that Joshua follows through. The mulch for the back was delayed due to an inventory issue and I hadn't heard from him after the work for a number of weeks, but then he called me when the items came back in and scheduled the follow-up. The point is: if you need something from him, don't be afraid to reach out. The work was quite costly but I think that you get what you pay for and when you go with Harris & Co., you get a lot."

"Last summer they sprayed poison ivy. This summer a few plants reappeared. They came out and finished them off."

"I signed a $3,500 annual contract with SavATree in Lincoln to keep my lawn healthy and rich. They did the exact opposite. My lawn turned into a sand pit full of weeds. Their treatment cards said the lawn was ?great,? but it was clear there were major issues. When I reached out, I was told there was a fungus and that fixing it would cost extra, even though I was already paying thousands for a full-service lawn treatment program. It got so bad that I had to hire another landscaper to reseed and fertilize just to undo the damage. SavATree then came and dumped more fertilizer on top, completely over-treating the lawn. When I asked why they would knowingly do that, I was told they were just following the plan for the year, even if it was harmful. I hired them to take better care of my lawn. Instead, they made it worse and cost me even more money to fix. Stay away if you care about your lawn."

"Spring clean-up was good. Some branches of a ground cover evergreen were broke & sheered(discovered later that spring). The estimate included debris removal, but that was lost in translation, never got done. Our yard is a 3rd of an acre including the house's foundation, yet it took 8 yds of mulch. Well, that's what we were charged, anyway. Word to the wise, always insist on a bill with your name on it from the wholesaler supplying the mulch to make sure you're getting what you pay for! Especially, if it's being dispensed from the back of a truck! We used to order 3 yds. of mulch and have it delivered. So, I know what 3 yrds of mulch can cover. We would then distribute the mulch throughout the yard. It seemed to be sufficient. So, when you find yourself weeding beds when you paid for a lot of mulch you've got to wonder, did I really get 8 yds of mulch? In my opinion, I don't think so. We also had a couple of trees cut down to the ground with the understanding they would come back(when it was less busy) to plant a tree in the void created. Haven't heard from them since. I guess they don't always return to the scene. Kiril, you said you'd call me in June/July to plant that tree, Remember? Updated 8/7/2019: rebuttal to provider's response Review Text: We discussed the pile of brush during your initial visit and it was supposed to be part of your estimate. When you finished the original job, the pile of brush was still there. I pointed that out to you and at that time you said that would be a separate charge. I let it go. Did you include the 2 yds of mulch you claimed you had in your truck from a previous job? Your paperwork doesn't prove anything! If there was 3" to 4" of mulch in the beds, there would be no weeds. Not with 5 yds. or 8 yds. on less than a 3rd of an acre. You called me a couple of weeks ahead of your scheduled appt. to say you had a day free and wanted to do the mulch. I should have realized something was up. No, I'm not changing my review, because in my opinion I did not get what I paid for."

"Services were performed as requested. The company's crew showed up on Mondays on a regular basis to cut our lawn. The irrigation system malfunctioned early in the summer resulting in large bare patches. The irrigation folks were obviously not informed as the lawn mowers kept mowing as the bare spots appeared and grew."

"BUYER BEWARE!!! The service from trugreen was tolerable and each year it has gotten worse. This year no one even shows up anymore to do the contracted service. They blamed the system then they ran out of excuses. And don't try speaking to a manager you have to go through their 1800 reps who read from a script and have to message a mgr which they tell you will call you back in 24 to 48 hrs. No mgr is available immediately to speak with. Then after 48 hours no call they tell you after having to call back to request a mgr again it is really 72 hrs. Needless to say still no call 72 hrs later. They offer free service for their errors and still provide no service. This summer they came in April for lawn service then after I called in July they finally did a second treatment and then still haven't shown up for treatment 3 and it's end of September. My contract has 6 services plus grub control application from April to Oct. Not even half the services were done. HORRIBLE customer service!!!!"
