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

"We just had our first lawn treatment with Rutland Turf. The technician, Matthew, was very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He explained in detail what treatments he was going to put on the lawn. Matthew did a very thorough job making sure he treated all areas of our lawn. Rutland Turf has some very good equipment for their techs to use, and Matt was adept at using the ride-on lawn spreader/sprayer. We're very pleased with his work today! We have a small landscaping project that we'll be contacting Rutland about. After seeing the quality of their work today, we won't hesitate to have them give us a price for another project."

"Not all the employees treat the entire lawn..."

"We have just recently started but so far they have been punctual and professional, as well as let us know what additional services we might need to upgrade the look of our lawn. Most importantly the lawn looks better than it has in years."

"I first contacted Arborway Tree Service late last year to have them look at the large Oak tree in my side yard. I wanted to know if the tree was in good condition (I had just moved into the house the year before) or if it would eventually have to be removed. This would have been a large undertaking since the tree is about 40 feet tall, and covers a good part of the yard. They came out and told me that I had a beautiful, healthy Red Oak tree. They did a root fertilization on the tree for the winter. I contacted them again this past summer about pruning the tree. It had a lot of dead wood and had grown over the telephone wires and the roof. I hired them to do the pruning. They came out a couple of weeks ago. They went right to work. They pruned quite a bit of the tree, going up into the tree, walking on branches to reach the areas to be cut, and mulched it all in a wood chipper. I am very happy with the way the tree was pruned and with the way the men just went to work and completed the job. I would definitely use them again. I really like the tree and hope to keep it around for a long time"

"Turf Unlimited came to our condo association to provide a free estimate to install irrigation to cover the front lawn area and drip system to water bushes and plants in the side and front beds. The estimate included an assessment of Lexington town water PSI to support irrigation, parts list (indoor clock which was easy to program, valves, rotors, MP rotator, drip tubing, and rain sensor), labor to install the system, and after-installation service. <br /> Turf Unlimited was awarded this contract in a competitive bid that included four other service providers (the 6th no bid). They were selected primarily for (1) the use of flexible irrigation pipe to minimize damage to existing lawn and landscaping (one other contractor also bid this approach), (2) price, and (3) product and labor warranty. In retrospect, Turf Unlimited exhibited other significant attributes such as: (4) professionalism and customer care, and (5) after-installation service. While actual installation took a little over four hours, the entire process spanned four weeks (Week 1 or end of May - estimate of work, Week 3 - compliance with City ordnance to dig, and Week 4 or mid-June - installation). I discovered this timeframe kicks off the landscape industry's busy season. My suggestion would be to plan early and schedule irrigation installation no later than mid-May to avoid the rush and to enjoy longer your nicely hydrated landscaping. <br /> In planning for the successful execution of this job on behalf of our condo association, I learned the following: <br /> a. We decided NOT to install a separate meter at a savings of $800 to $1500 for a plumber. However, this requires condo associations to have a strict understanding of how the host condo would be reimbursed. As there is only one other condo in our association, this was not a problem. If you are in a single family dwelling be prepared for a bit of sticker shock regarding your water consumption. <br /> b. The flexible pipe allows for faster installation (over rigid PVC pipes) as they are pulled through under your lawn eliminating the need for deep, open trenches for the rigid pipes. This also means the flexible pipe is closer to the surface, may become exposed hence subject to damage by lawn mowers and such equipment, and if not serviced properly, could be damaged by freezing temperatures. Since we have a lawn mowing company, I included them in the planning of our irrigation system. <br /> c. With flexible pipes, you need a robust warranty and after-installation service, preferably by the installer, as pipes need to be blown out by compressed air at the end of the season and refreshed at the beginning. This could mean a long-term relationship with Turf Unlimited to preclude voiding the 3-year warranty. As they proved to be efficient and professional in scheduling and following through, this became a positive. <br /> In summary, Turf Unlimited exceeded our expectations for product and service and I/we would highly recommend them. <br />"

"I find their services reasonable, the lawn looks great. I used to do it all myself, and now I just don't even worry about it because they take of my lawn."

"They were actually coming today to do the lawn. We've done yearly contract so probably it was for the last 8 years with them for both pest control and lawn services. It's a service contract they charge and it's bundles, so depending, we also have termite service. Seven-set lawn care cost us $1470, pest control costs us $429 and that's for mice, ants and bees and the termite protection. We had that done at probably 6 years ago and every 3 years we renew the warranty. They come out and double check for termites and we renewed for $110 a year for that service. They come and check all the termite traps for activity. They do lawn and yard fertilization, liming and crab grass controls. There is also a late fall service for aeration. Some years we add spot feeding for more, if it's been a really dry year. Start with spring open up and fertilization, I think, 3 or 4 times and then the late fall service which is fertilization and line. Pest control is only outside. They're very responsive when I found a bee's nest. I've always been happy with the price because they bundled; any other service we looked up didn't bundle services."

"Lee cooper reviewed his services - surveyed my property and a few weeks later treated my back yard. 4 weeks after that came back for second treatment."

"Jim carefully measured, assessed and costed out the project. He gave us two options so we could make a decision based on our budget and our strategy. He spent a long time here and was very diligent in ensuring he got it all. It all wilted within a week or two and died within a few weeks. He gave me pointers on how to address it in the future. One year later and we could not see any regrowth of poison ivy which is remarkable because we were infested with it prior to the treatment. We have been able to keep up with the occasional sprout so far. I recommend recommend Jim Byler very very much. He is a man of integrity, works extremely hard to achieve complete eradication of the areas agreed upon, and is very knowledgable about poison ivy and other noxious plants. <br />"

"I can't say enough about Whitmore's. We have been customers for their fertilization and aeration service for the past few years when our former contractor retired. He was careful in who he chose to take over his business and we are so glad he chose Whitmore's. Then, when our landscaper moved out of state last year, we called Whitmore's to see if they could take over weekly mowing, trimming and spring/fall cleanup. They were prompt and accurate with their estimate, their prices were in the right range, and their service all year has been spectacular. Like clockwork. The team at Whitmore's, whether in the office or on the job, are friendly, helpful and go the extra mile. We've had questions and they've always returned calls or sent someone to the house directly to talk to us. We have recommended Whitmore's to friends and family and they have thanked us because they've had the same great experience. Nice people, spectacular service, fair pricing and a beautiful yard to play in every week. Couldn't be happier!"
