I have had Trugreen lawn service for several years. This is ridiculous. They were to treat both front and back. The last 2 years of service have been absolutely horrible and to get a straight answer out of them is like pulling teeth! When I pay for weed service I expect weeds to be gone! But supposedly after 3 full and spot treatments I have more weeds than neighbors who don't even treat lawns! I have called and called and was told I would not be charged 70$ then they send bill and expect payment and then have the nerve to say, "Have you been watering???" Take your service and your payment and shove it!!!! I will never recommend your services to anyone!

After the second visit from the TruGreen representative to my lawn, I noticed that after a few days the grass is coming loose from the soil. I have several large patches and have never experienced this before. Could you please tell me why this happened? Well!!

I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience with TruGreen has compelled me to share my frustrations. Firstly, despite their promises, the treatments did not improve my lawn. Instead, the services mostly resulted in killing my grass, while the weeds continued to thrive. The lack of effective service left me disappointed. During my interactions, the representatives acknowledged their shortcomings, displaced blame and apologized for not adequately addressing my lawn's needs in the timely manner. However, instead of resolving the issue, they insisted on upselling me double the service. What led to this bad review, and the final straw was the customer service provided by their call center, which is abysmal. I contacted them to cancel my services and end my contract, yet I still received a bill for a service a few days after I tried to cancel services.
To make matters worse, when I called back, when I tried to resolve the bill for the very service I had requested to cancel in the first place, I was met with rudeness. When I inquired about the cancellation, the representative claimed there was no record of my request and no previous call documented. After further insistence, I finally received a cancellation confirmation number this time to make sure my services are truly cancelled. However, after she cancelled me, she stated now that I am no longer a customer, there was nothing she can do to assist me any further and was rude through the whole interaction and seemed to get pleasure in my annoyance. Overall, my experience has been frustrating and unprofessional from start to finish. I cannot recommend TruGreen based on my current situation.

Absolutely terrible. Just stopped showing up. Despite calling 4-5 times per week to sell me more services. Signed up for a one time pest control service and they of course turned it into a monthly service. All they care about is selling you more services and not about the condition of your lawn. Would give zero stars if I could.

DO NOT USE TRUGREEN. The tech left digital notes indicating that he left messages for me at my home regarding my yard, however, he didn't. My yard has more weeds in it than when they started. The previous owner, Alan, told me to contact Chris **. The problem is that no one answers the direct lines to the local franchise so it all goes to the service center and they don't know Chris **. This is a terrible company. I was told that Chris would call me in 48 hours, but it hasn't happened. I will be canceling my service and writing a bad review wherever I can.

Avoid this company; they are incredibly unreliable and have done nothing but harass and make soliciting calls. Certainly, do not pay upfront; they are pressuring you to pay for a service that will not be provided.

We like to call this business TruBrown because of how their inexperienced technicians have burned our lawn twice. Also, the first time it happened, they didn’t even offer any discounts, just told us to water our lawn more. Then, we were auto enrolled the next year!!! They are terrible and overpriced. Steer clear!

TruGreen is an untrustworthy company. They reported to my home and lied and stated that they completed service when they didn’t. This is the second time this has happened. I terminated my service. DO NOT USE TRUGREEN!

I have been customer of TruGreen for several years. If all you want is a guy running around your lawn spraying for 5 minutes without even looking at the lawn, this is the company for you. I had a massive grub and cinch bug problem that started 6 weeks ago. Two treatments since for unrelated issues and three service people came out and all they did was try to upsell me. It's fungus, poor drainage, etc. They never even touched the lawn. Dug some small hole this week and hundreds of grubs and insects scattered about. Sent them photos. Offered me a free treatment two weeks ago and they still have not shown up. Good luck trying to cancel. More upselling and fees. Honestly, I write very few reviews. Anyone else would be better than this. Cost me $1,500 and entire lawn need to be tilled not just aerated, it's that bad. Had they diagnosed this on a timely basis, this could have all been avoided. Please Stay clear!!
My lawn is going brown. I have white grubs problem. When I called the company several times and I requested service for Grubs treatment, they have sent "Stevie **" who inspected the lawn. His observation was "heat stress" and no grubs detected. The funny thing is that I have sprinkle system going every night. Please see attached photos. I will not recommend this company!!!

Unhappy overall with the annual service. We had a service plan laid out for the year, which they didn't follow. The $415 aeration was scheduled for October 2024, and they decided to do it in the month of August. I left my account representative Isaiah a voice mail to call me back to talk about my service, and of course, he never called me back.
Overall, my yard still has a lot of weeds and crabgrass remaining. I called to let them know, and they said they would come and reapply the treatment at no charge. That was a lie. Both times, they came out to reapply the treatment, and they charged me for the reapplication treatments. I added screenshots of the TruGreen representative stating I would not be charged to reapply the treatment, but yet I was. Save your money and find a trustworthy company.
