TruGreen aeration services
Aeration is recommended to help lawns that are suffering from patches, puddles or thin covering. The process allows more water, oxygen and fertilizer to reach your lawn’s roots, resulting in a thicker, greener lawn. TruGreen specializes in aeration and includes the service in both the TruComplete and TruSignature plans.

TruGreen prices will vary depending on where you live and which services or plan you select. To get an idea of how much the services cost, we got an estimate for 5,000 sq ft lawn in Tulsa, Oklahoma. You can see the prices quoted in the table below. TruGreen also offers PrePay discounts up to over $50 off your yearly cost.

Is TruGreen worth it?

    I had two service contracts on two investment properties. I was paying for full yard treatment on both but only received treatment on one third of the yard. When I called to inquire, they didn’t care. Made no effort to remedy, no effort to keep me as a customer. I did have to call multiple times to cancel the two service contracts and get my money back. After a year of servicing only one-third of the yard even though I was paying for the full yard something should have been done to keep me as a customer. Techs are not reachable. Not trustworthy. Not dependable. They just don’t care. I wish I would have read these reviews first.

    Bought a package deal with them and was told that it would not continue after the last treatment (only way I was going to buy it). Had 2 people come out the beginning of the year and did a treatment. First time I got to see the people doing the treatment. Person spraying did not get the other side of tree line (which is also my property) and kindly asked them to do it. They did. I went back inside and a little bit later they left. Found out a couple days later that my neighbor saw they start on one of the side of my lawn and never finish it because they got called back to the truck and then left. I got a bill for the treatment a few weeks later. reached out to them and talked to Selese and explained everything to them. They apologized but continued to try to get me to continue my services with discounts and pricing tactics. Finally they told me that they would take care of the bill.

    A month later I get a late payment notification, so once again I contact them. Talked to Jurnelle and she said that she will take care of things and I guess I will just have to see what happens. I included pictures of my chat from my previous chat session. Overall my service did not impress me, after a full year of it, my lawn looked just as bad as before. Crabgrass has not been contained or erased, I have bald spots, and weeds I am still having to take care of myself. One last thing, when they are giving you estimate on yardage, they are using Google Earth pics and judging by that on what to charge you. I am sure they did not remove the house in the dimensions or the huge tree line. Please stay away from them!!!!!

      I was not told that my yard with fescue grass could not be sprayed for weeds because it would kill the grass until the technician told me when he showed up for the first treatment. I have already paid for 12 months and 8 treatments.

      I hired Tru Green to aerate my lawn along with fertilizing and weed control. When they aerated my lawn and many areas where they turned a corner they chewed up the grass. I called and sent the attached pictures and was told that is just normal and the grass would grow back. I don't see how this is normal, and I feel the response is inappropriate. I will not be using them again.

      We signed up for a year's worth of lawn care to see how it went, which was poorly. Different tech every time, asked the same questions every time as to where to treat, this was all done when we signed up, I do not think they ever treated our full lawn. They continued treatment after our one year of pay and then tried to get us to pay for a treatment we did not authorize. On top of all of this, our yard is no better, still full of weeds and actually looks terrible, a complete waste of money.

      I canceled some services and then THEY started it up again and told me it was on an auto renewal. No Notice nothing. And when I got billed and complained they said tough, it didn't mean anything just because I canceled some services. just pay your bill. I searching for somebody else to take care of my lawn NOW!

      I had landscaping done in my backyard that left me with no grass at all in mid January. I was afraid that the topsoil would be washing down the hill to my neighbor and I needed grass. A TruGreen salesman told me they had the solution to my problem. They would come out the end of February and plug the yard rather than overseed. He talked me into buying one year service in advance which would include getting rid of any weeds in my flowerbeds. I am disabled and this was an answer to prayer. They did not show up in February, but I figured it was just too cold. March came and someone came out for weed control. I asked him why he wasn’t planting grass. His answer was they don’t do that until October.

      I called a supervisor about it and he confirmed that they only plant grass in the fall. Why would I pay over $1500 in January for services that I won’t get until October? The supervisor apologized and said they would be out to lay grass seed down but first had to do weed control. A service man came out to do that work and complained to me that it took him ten minutes to do my yard front and back. He said he spent too much time on my yard and I threw off his entire day. He also complained that he got stuck in the mud and had to get off of his machine to get unstuck. All that happened in 10 minutes? He didn’t do the entire yard just the parameter throwing roundup into my flowerbeds which killed all my iris’s, hyacinth, alliums and tulips that have been there for 10 years.

      I asked for a refund and got most of my money back. They deducted $250 for the 10 minutes that this man spent on my yard. This company will tell you bold faced lies about what they do and what they charge. I will never see all of my money back. They’re done with me. I wish I had read reviews for TruGreen before I decided to use them. I will never recommend them to anyone. I don’t like being lied to and I don’t like being deceived when it comes to the work that’s being done. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

      I'm sick and tired of getting advertising emails from this company every single day. I block and report them but it doesn't help and the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the emails just brings me to their webpage with no way to unsubscribe. Seems like a very deceptive company and I would never use them. I feel like I'm being harassed, and I didn't even subscribe to their emails to begin with.

      I had TruGreen for several years now. Although the service up to this year was OK, not great, but they always tried to make things right. This year (2026) is different. They supposedly treated my lawn on 3/24/26. There are areas of my yard that look like they weren't treated and the growth and greening of the grass has been much less than other years. My understanding is a significant number of other customers have complained. Which leads me to wonder, did TruGreen, because of fertilizer cost (the Iran war) reduce the amount of nitrogen in their liquid solution.

      If I could give TruGreen less than one star I would. Last Summer, one of their techs treated our grass and burned it. After much aggravation and unreturned calls, they slit seeded in October. We thought the grass would come back in Spring. Wrong. It didn't work at all. We have mud patches and brown patches all over our lawn.

      We had to actually track down the Sales Manager at the local office because he would not return our calls. He gave us no reason for not returning our calls and no apology. He wanted to slit seed our lawn again. We told him we wanted TruGreen to pay for new sod. He told us he would have to run it past his supervisor. His supervisor said that slit seeding will work and that new sod was not an option. He even scheduled slit seeding without our approval. We have been clients for 20 years and the way we were treated is just not acceptable. I know had I treated clients the way we were treated, I would have been fired. Save yourself some money and take care of your own lawn.
