My lawn is looking great because of TruGreen. My grass is looking really green, my bushes are looking great and there are no Weeds in my front yard. All in all everything is looking great. I cannot say thank you so much.

Lawn was in bad shape and screaming for help, and so far after one application it’s starting to show new life. All work has been completed on a professional level and timely process. TruGreen has kept me up to date on my ongoing care and timeline.
Good Day Mark,
It was such a delight to receive your review regarding your first lawn application and we look forward to meeting your lawn expectations in the future. Thank you for partnering with TruGreen and have a wonderful day!

This year we have not had a consistent service person apply the treatments to our yard. Each time someone comes out, the technician is different. Therefore, the weeds in our backyard are getting out of control and now a yellow streak has appeared on our grass in the backyard, but the latest technician doesn’t know what it might be.

There is more weed now on my lawn than before TruGreen started treating my property. I contacted them for a revisit, they gave me a date and never showed up and never called. I will take my business elsewhere and my neighbors (who usually complimented us on the beauty of our lawn) has taken notice of the shoddy work TRUGREEN has done.

Moved to a new home that the previous owner neglected the lawn. Spent the spring and summer working to bring it back to life, including paying for lawn treatment for the first time in my life. I patiently awaited results knowing it would take some time. We've had a tremendous amount of rain over the past several weeks and it's brought my lawn to life, until my recent TruGreen service. Now all my neighbors' yards are green and mines camouflaged with brown dead grass. Not only did they kill a lot of the grass but they left behind a brown path showing where they treated the yard, luckily for me their coverage missed most of the yard. But it does explain the slow progress if their other treatments I've paid for cover the same amount of ground... I've made contact to see how they resolve the problem. I understand things happen, but I've paid a lot of money for this... If they resolve things satisfactorily I'll update or remove my negative review.

An area of 50ft by10ft in the middle of my front yard was not aerated after the service. Do not know how it was missed! That is why I rated 3 stars. But my yard is looking better than I have ever been able to do myself since TruGreen took over. Would recommend your service and have to my friends. Look forward to the next service. I always make sure I am here to communicate with your specialists my concerns. They take the time to make sure my questions are answered. Would give them 5 stars!

Signed up for this lawn care. 7 visits, fertilizing, weed control, and seeding. First few visits didn't see much, but after a while the weeds had gone and the grass was sort of looking better. We inquired when they will seed, they said they will seed in the fall and would have to put down two types as we have two kinds of grass. Even left a handwritten report saying such. Get a call to add tree and shrub treatments. I add it, my roses and azaleas have some pests getting them. All good so far. Get another call to add aerating and seeding. I told them that seeding was already in my plan. Apparently it was not. I was originally told that it was, and this was backed up by their techs.
I have now immediately cancelled all services. I had been paid for the entire year for my services. I consider myself a good and reasonable customer and person. I do not appreciate getting weekly calls to buy more services. I do not appreciate bad information being provided to me that costs me money. I am going to hire a local company to take care of my lawn from now on.

We have paid TRUGREEN twice this summer to do the weeding on our lawn, I also phoned after the first time, because the same weeds are still there. They charged us a second time and after 3 weeks, the same weeds have not gone! If we phone the company, they just say they'll have to do another appointment and charge us again! We are very disappointed in this company and have had a horrible lawn all summer!

I have used TruGreen lawn and tree service for more than ten years. The product (fertilizer & weed control) is excellent. Unfortunately the service scheduling is very poor. Missed service can be caused by weather, employee absence, delays and many other reasons. But, with TruGreen missed service is too frequent. When you are missed the rescheduled date is 7-14 days later. If you happen to be missed again, the service can be delay a month or more. The customer service people are nice but they have very little control of the scheduling. I believe they have too much business and are attempting to push productivity over service because of the lack of enough employees. If you really care for your lawn and shrubs be prepared to step in and purchase/apply when TruGreen doesn't.

Had my lawn fertilized July 3rd. The technician over applied my lawn causing severe burning of the grass. After numerous phone calls someone came out to do the repairs of reseeding. The reseeding job is terrible. I keep calling for TruGreen to fix. All I get is the call center with the promise of the local branch manager will call. Guess what...still waiting for the call. My lawn was the best on the my street until TruGreen’s unqualified technician ruined my lawn. Will be dropping them. The damage is extensive. This will probably cost me at least $1,000 to repair. I am considering legal action.

We paid in full in advance for 8 treatments and expected to get 8 treatments. After the first treatment it all went downhill. Appointments were not kept, online account was never accurate. Found out that the first visit counted as 3 of my 8 treatments which was never explained in the beginning. Treatment dates were promised but they were never followed through. The chase was on. Each time I called customer service, I got a different explanation. I would be promised a treatment but they never showed up. I spent more time calling them about the lack of service, than the treatments we received.

The North Augusta SC branch appears to be a scam station. I signed up in February for a year of service, including aeration. A brainless idiot came out in April to do the aeration, and did massive damage to my wet/sloped front yard. They told me they would fix it. They filled in the very deep ruts with dirt. Nothing else. They told me the grass would grow back in. It didn't. And the aeration was never done. I have tried to contact the North Augusta office at least 6 times in the past month. Every time I call, I get transferred to Atlanta, or some other remote site in Georgia. It is NOT POSSIBLE to contact anyone in the North Augusta branch.
After one month, and many promises from phone greeters to have a manager call me, I have spoken to no one in authority about any of my complaints. When I ask to speak to someone at the corporate level, I am told the manager will escalate if necessary. But if a manager never contacts me, how can it be escalated? And when I ask the phone greeters to connect me with a supervisor, I am consistently told they don't have supervisors!! This is unbelievable. This is not poor customer service. This is NO customer service. I am very nervous about the fact that when the salesman signed me up for service, he insisted he needed my bank account number for payment, no checks or credit cards. I feel very foolish that I gave it to him. This company appears to be a scam.

Beware!!! Total rip off... Our introduction price was supposed to be 53.47 charged to our debt card, can't pay any other way the sale guy says on the phone. So we did and a month later when I got my bank statement it shows a charge for 171.00 from TruGreen so I called to ask why, and was told the lawn service guy put down Grub control, I didn't ask for that or even knew he did it, he didn't ask me anything about Grubs and I don't believe he put it on the lawn. When I called to cancel any further service and told them why they just said ok. Beware!!!

I have had a difficult time with this company. They quoted me one price then tried to charge me another. They have canceled service without explanation.

Product was applied twice. Because of that there are numerous burn marks on the lawn. The technician said I have a lot of nutsedge, he was incorrect, it is bent grass. He also stated it will go away when it gets cooler. That is also not correct. I have numerous weeds that are thriving. This is mainly because he didn't do the whole property. I have video cameras and viewed them. Very dissatisfied with the service. However when I complained the manager was very nice and said he will refund the cost of the service.

I’ve only had one treatment so far. Overseeding and aeration should have been done yesterday but because of weather, the service could not be done.

I’ve been with TruGreen for almost three years. First year + service was great. Technician Dave took care of us and lawn looked great. Signed up for additional services for another year and up until a few weeks ago this year is a disaster. Had Dave come out to see the weeds and the horrible condition of our lawn. Dave sent Richard out to put down some weed control. I found out this is the first time this year weed control had been placed on our lawn this year and now I understand why the lawn is looking terrible. The treatment Richard applied helped but there are still trouble spots. I know Dave was out the other day to do a treatment, fertilizer etc. but at this time of year our lawn should be looking much better than it does.
I wrote a letter asking for credit for my first several paid treatments since the first two technicians never treated for weeds in the beginning of the year. I have a low confidence on the first two tech that came out so now I’ve asked that only Technician Richard service our lawn. So far I’ve heard nothing or had an acknowledgement of my written complaint. At this time we are waiting. I will not sign up for another round of treatments until my complaint is resolved.

We have never used a lawn service before. We decided to try this year, and chose TruGreen on the recommendation of others. Mainly they were known for prompt response. Not true. After the first treatment (of 6 for $650!), our weeds seemed to multiply and our lawn developed yellow stripes. We called, and they sent someone else out who said they would stick to the regular schedule, no need to do anything for the stripes. We complained and they took $50 off our bill. For the next 2 weeks the weeds continued to multiply and the stripes were more prevalent. I called customer service and finally got someone who said they couldn't send anyone for a week due to heavy schedule. I complained that that was not acceptable, and to his credit, he did get someone out the next day, but not till I complained. The person who came out the next day basically said he couldn't do anything to make the lawn look any better this year.
The first guy who came out had caused the damage and it would take a year to repair. This year they would just keep trying to kill the weeds and start fresh next year. There will be no next year with TruGreen. As I read other reviews, this seems to be a common problem. More weeds, and lousy customer service. IF they had been honest up front about what would happen, I would have been okay, but they charged $650 for 6 treatments that they said would help our lawn and so far they have killed it. They are the lawn experts so they should be able to look at a lawn, take some samples, and be able to treat accordingly. Instead they seem to do the same treatments for everyone with no samples taken. Obviously for my lawn, that was not the answer. I would not recommend TruGreen. Find a small local lawn care service.

My husband went on the TruGreen website and entered in our information so that someone could contact us about pricing/consultation. A female contacted my husband the same afternoon and was pleasant at first. She discussed several packages with my husband beginning at 1,700 annually and after a bit of back and forth discussion priced him a package for $80 something per month. My husband then told the rep (who never identified herself) that the price may be a little higher than what he wanted to pay but that he would consult me (his wife) and get back to her.
She became rude and confrontational. She spent the next two minutes questioning him and trying to pressure him into a commitment. He finally had enough and started to tell the rep that he didn’t appreciate how she was acting and that he would not be pressured into to anything and SHE HUNG UP ON HIM MID SENTENCE!!!

I decided to try TruGreen for my lawn this summer. Big mistake. I will refrain from writing the 3 page diatribe I was originally planning. Their first weed spray (after I had called and asked for assurance twice that my plants would not be damaged) decimated more than half of a full and healthy 1.5 ft thick row of daisies that originally came from my mother's garden. It also killed half of a very nice plot of hens and chicks. After making excuses for their service crew, they said they'd buy me more daisies "or whatever". Really? It's going to take me HOURS to dig and replant that plot. Barely an apology - I got the distinct impression I was just an annoyance.
I had many conversations with people at TruGreen regarding the situation and yet it seems they don't communicate with each other at all. I called this morning (only got notice late yesterday that they were coming out for treatment today) to tell them PLEASE don't weed spray. She took my information and said she had sent it to the tech. I ask this also in concern of my neighbors' outdoor cats. I left the house at 1:30 and there was a notice on my door that the tech had been there and weed sprayed. I have asked 4 times for someone from TruGreen to give me an estimate for pruning bushes - no response. Today the tech's report said I needed to have the bushes pruned to let in more light on the lawn. Really? I could go on for pages. Definitely one of the most unresponsive, poorly managed and uncaring contractors I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

The last time was about 2 weeks ago and my wife told the tech that he was at the wrong house and he tried to say she was wrong, but once that was settled he stated our front yard looked good enough and said he was not going to use any fertilizer on the front yard, we thought that was a little odd, plus we are paying for it anyway. So overall we have been mostly satisfied, but getting the wrong house this many times is aggravating to us.

I have been a TruGreen customer for 20 years and I have always had great service. This year has been horrible. First of all they never came to do the first spring treatment so the weeds got hold. They explained it was on purpose which is sad when you know they are lying to you. Every time I checked my service date online it was pushed out. Found out later you have to threaten to quit to get them out. Then they finally came and did not kill the weeds. They came out (even though I have a do not sell anything else on my account) to do tree and scrub.
They called and said they would do it for the cost of one of my lawn treatments so I wouldn't be charged. Well you can guess what happened. They charged me. And we're going to charge again the next time. I had to call again and get them fixed. I canceled my Halloween treatment because Oct 31st in the woods in MN just doesn't do anything. Now the worst. They came out a couple of days ago and KILLED LOTS OF THE GRASS. Came home after being gone for 3 days and it is very bad. Called and they said the best they can do is get out in 72 working hours. Then they will come up with a cause and a plan. Oh like no big deal. That is what the guarantee is for. I bet their plan sucks. It is so sad to see a good company go bad.

Worst company ever. They don't care. You call customer service, they don't follow through with your requests. 1st time they came, they sprayed my perennials.

We bowed out of the rest of the season. It's already been paid for. We don't ever want them in our yard again. Damage every time.

I pre-paid for a year's service - big mistake. With the money in TruGreen's account, there was no effort to make sure the customer was satisfied, When they did show up for a treatment (never on the day confirmed via a telephone call) it was either raining or heavy rain was on the way according to radar. Last treatment got washed away by torrential rain immediately after application (there was water 2 inches deep running across the yard). I had to call to get it rescheduled. First tech didn't have enough product to do my yard (a little over an acre) and said he wasn't sure why they sent him.
Second tech (days later) got snippy with my wife (I wasn't home) saying he lived in a neighboring community and no way did it rain hard enough to wash treatment away. He then tried to scare her by saying if he reapplied it would burn up the lawn and we'd have no grass. Not being knowledgeable she said to not treat. That was the last straw. Canceled the contract with over $1K left in account (according to my online account page). Customer service rep say she would have to get approval as the amount of the refund was over a thousand. When credit appeared on my card it was only for $990. When I called customer service they claimed there was no record of an amount other than $990 and the rep that handled my refund had made a note to that effect. My online account page was purged so I couldn't get any documentation of the amount I saw prior to canceling the account. Terrible service and a rip off to boot.

We relay these concerns to TruGreen. Someone came, check our Crab Apple tree on the front yard, sprayed more chemicals and left. It was end of the season, so we let it slide.
I cut some dead branches from pear tree early spring to help the tree to recover. Third year of service started and after second application I notice that more branches on a pear tree died, so I asked again to come and check what is wrong. Again someone came, check apple tree, now on the backyard, told us that woodpecker damaged our apple tree, never hear any sounds related to woodpecker, added more chemicals and left. By the way we don’t have any problem with apple trees. Contacted manager, he came, wrote us a note that Pear tree branches are drying and that he is not an arborist and don’t know what is going on.
At the beginning of the season we got offers to take care our trees and mosquitoes from the same company. Is this mean that one department can’t communicate with another? We lost mature pear tree, another will be remove soon, same story, and all we got that people who is applying chemicals doesn’t know anything, but how to spray it. Be aware that by using this service longer than one season it might create problem for you, in our case it was losing mature Pear trees. You can see picture of second tree with drying branches. We are very disappointed with this service, level of knowledge for people who we rely on and lack of communications between departments.

Very disorganized business, didn't get through the setup phase due to constant continual call by the company. Total of FIVE calls from them, and still they needed to call me one more time to set up my account. After I filled out inquiry form, I was called once and agreed on service. Two minutes after, I was called again by different person wanting to set me up. Kindly I told that person I had already been contacted and signed up.
The next morning I was called again by another person saying she could beat the other's prices. She did, great. I explained to her she was my third call. Then I was called by an independent auditor wanting to verify. The prices were the guys from the first day. They had to send back to team. I explained that I had reached my tolerance for the calls and I would only accept one more from the company before I called it quits. I received another call telling me they agreed to honor the pricing - thanks for doing me the favor. Then said I was going to get another call. I told them no more. I felt harassed.
To make it worse each time I spoke to a new person they wanted my credit card number. I gave it to the first guy but refused to give it to anyone else.

When I first started with this company my goal was to rid my yard of weeds/sticker bushes or briar patches. This was achieved. In the process it created many bald spots in my yard. That is to be expected however I was told grass would now grow in those places due to their follow up treatment. A year or so later this has not happened. We have personally spent @ $500+ on hay and seed ourselves to correct this issue. When we brought this up to TruGreen we were told a “lawn tech expert” would come out to evaluate the problem to see what can be done. Well the ‘expert’ was the same young man that previously did our mosquito treatment and at the time (I think was in March 2018) he had been with TruGreen @ 90 days according to him. We now have little to no confidence TruGreen will solve this problem or even CARES to do so. We will make a decision on our next course of action by the end of July 2018. We will also submit pics.

The TruGreen experience has been extremely frustrating! First, it takes at least 48 hours or longer to be able to talk to a person in the service area office. The first technician we had was great and after 3 applications the yard was starting to look good. Then on June 15th, the technician DESTROYED the turf. Don't know if he over applied a chemical or had mixed something wrong, but it took 2 weeks to get an area manager out to look at the yard.
I was promised a refund on the application that destroyed the lawn and it took 2 weeks to get that. Then had a local lawn care company out to look at the yard and they recommended that TruGreen should pay for new sod. Fired TruGreen and requested the balance of my prepaid services. Was promised a refund within 5 business days and we are still waiting. Even with a cancellation reference number, no one seems to be able to find out what is happening with the cancellation or refund. WORST, ABSOLUTELY THE WORST!

Unfortunately for me my experience with TruGreen was not as positive as many on this review site. I have been taking care of my own lawn for the last 10 years with great success. I decided to outsource the lawn care this year to TruGreen as I recently started a new business and have less time available to manage my lawn. My lawn soon became overrun by weeds. I called TruGreen early on to advise that the weed problem on my lawn was starting to get out of control.
Granted I never once spoke to the person who came to service my lawn because he never once rang my doorbell to alert me he was actually outside treating my lawn. I have just canceled the service and have taken charge of treating my own lawn once again. Needless to say I was highly disappointed. I went with TruGreen because I had others tell me how great the service was. In the end I guess it boils down to the technician that's working on your lawn. I'm not saying don't use TruGreen. Just make sure the person that is servicing your lawn has an interest in your lawn.

Matt from TruGreen and I spoke about our shrubs and bushes on Th July 12 and set Wed July 18 as the day for our service since I wanted to do a walk-around with the provider. Matt said the service would be injections at the base of each bush and tree and that the service person would call me one hour before arrival. After staying home on the 18th, I received a robocall saying they would do the service on the 19th. I called the office who said they would call me back (they never did). I talked with Matt and rescheduled for Friday afternoon 20th. At 7:30 am on the 19th, my husband answered the doorbell, and I got out of the shower and met Don, the service person.
He was very pleasant but had never heard of Matt and denied being told to call before arriving. He said that this was not soil/root injections as Matt had said but spraying the foliage. Matt did not answer my call to him for clarification (and never returned the call). Don was pleasant, did an exceptional job and I appreciated his comments. However, the office, scheduling and notification follow the same problems that we stopped using TruGreen for before - they do not return calls, do not take requests into consideration, ignore scheduling and warning call agreements, they never seem to know what is going on with a customer, and the other service people seldom knock on the door so that I can accompany them on their treatments on our property.

Not impressed. Response time. If weather will not cooperate, normal reschedule would be a week to 10 days away. Broad leaf preventatives was applied in late April after clover was already growing in my lawn. Crabgrass preventer was applied yet 1/3rd of my back lawn is covered in crabgrass. I’m not sure how that’s possible. Free service to take care of all the weeds. Service agent could only do half the lawn and he was only 50% effective on the weeds he applied post emergent on. Service agent said he needs to come back again to complete and told me he would reschedule on his end. I called a week and a half after the fact and it was never rescheduled until I called in. I emailed the branch manager a question about the last application but he never responded to me either. I truly believe I could do better if I just did it myself.

2. My lawn was cared for by myself for the previous 2 years.
3. I prepaid for the complete plan.
First the good. TruGreen is incredibly responsive to customer requests for reapplications if required. When I called, and I called often, they were usually there within 3 business days. Honestly, my lawn looks great in terms of color: deep green. Now the bad. The communication between sales, technicians, and customers is horrendous. Aside from reapplications, not once was I contacted when the technician was scheduled to be at my address. If I didn't work from home, there would have been no possibility to actually converse with the technician to relay my concerns.
The free reapplications that come with the complete plan are a nice service; however, why did I require a reapplication after every service? Keep in mind that I performed the same services myself for the previous two years with similar results and fewer applications. I can't imagine what it would have been like if I didn't have the complete plan with unlimited reapplications based on my satisfaction level of the initial service. Those customers without this are in serious trouble.
Three weeks after I cancelled all my services and received a refund, I was surprised to see a TruGreen technician walking around my front yard at 8 in the morning spraying for weeds. When I asked him what he was doing his reply was "Respraying for clover and other weeds like you asked." In his defense, he was simply following the work order; but this is another glaring example of the poor/nonexistent communication. I wasn't expecting another service and now I have chemicals on my yard at a time that I wasn't expecting them.
When I did make the decision to completely cancel, the first 20 minutes of the call was an attempt to keep me as a customer, which I understand is their policy, but annoying nonetheless. I agreed to keep my services with one caveat: a manager from my local office would contact me, come to my property, and review my concerns and problem areas with me within 2 business days. After 3 days passed, I called in to cancel. If there was truly any concern for customer retention you would think a simple phone call would be warranted. When my account was completely closed I received a confirmation number and a refund amount. A few business days later, I checked my credit card expecting to see the amount I was quoted only to see a lesser amount.
The reason was that the prepay discount was retroactively applied at cancellation thus lowering the amount. Perhaps training for the customer service reps is in order. Bottom line: I am sure their services work and would have worked; but if the customer service aspect doesn't live up to the promises, then you are only getting 50% of what you paid for. Fix your lines of communication TruGreen.

I had TruGreen last year and had a positive experience so I continued it and it has been horrible. I paid in advance for the discount. I received an email and my first lawn treatment appropriately. About two months went by and I did not receive another treatment. I called customer service. The woman I spoke to was very nice. Apologized and said the technician forgot or was sick. She said she would credit me for the serviced missed as it was too late to do it. She also said that she would have them do the next service of weed control and FERTILIZER in the next week at no charge to me. I clarified this twice with her that it was for this next visit of fertilizer and weed control in addition to not being charged for the no show session and she assured me of this. This was more than fair and I ended the conversation happy.
I received an email and a technician showed up as planned. When I got home I discovered that all that he did was spot spray some weeds! I called customer service and the person again apologized, was empathetic and said the technician did not read the order and she would make sure it was done in the next week. I said this had to be done in the next week as I was leaving on vacation and would be gone the following week and I did not want someone coming when the house was locked up. I also asked for someone to call me and let me know it was set up appropriately. She assured me someone would and that it would be taken care of before I left for vacation. No one ever contacted me or showed up to do my lawn. While I was on vacation 1500 my father-in-law who was pet sitting called and told me TruGreen was in my backyard which I had told them not to do!
At this point I was not very angry because I figured I was back on track and was being compensated for all the mix-ups. Until yesterday, when a TruGreen rep knocked on my door to talk to my wife about landscape service. She told him about the problems we had. I came home from work and he was nice enough to wait for me. He told me he was the manager of my account and I should deal directly with him and that customer service doesn't help because they are not here.
I asked if he would check my account and clear up the confusion and assure me that my last visit was at no charge. He gave me his phone number and said I could call him anytime if there was a problem. Sounded good. He also gave us a long sales pitch to take care of our landscaping which didn't sound too bad except that he used the word "guarantee" a lot and when I asked it was just his language and that there was no real guarantee. We said we would seriously consider it and he said he would call us tomorrow.
He called the next day as he said he would but had done nothing to look into the issues I had asked him about. I could hear him asking someone in the background who kept saying "I don't know". At this point I told him I was done with TruGreen and wanted to cancel my service. He said he couldn't do that and gave me another number to call.
I immediately called the number which was customer service. At this time I was livid and went through the whole story again telling her I wanted to cancel service. She told me the man who came to our door was a salesman and not a manager! She said she had no record of the no charge service, would have to charge me for the two services I had and also take away the discount I had received for paying upfront. She was rude and I asked to talk to a supervisor.
After waiting on hold for awhile I spoke to another woman who was rude and unfriendly. I was so upset at that time I could hardly speak. She asked me what the name was of the woman I had spoken to a month ago who told me about the free service (which I had repeatedly clarified with that woman but didn't remember her name). The person I was now speaking to said that she would split the difference with me. I said okay but at that point it was not about the money but the terrible way I was treated and I just wanted my connection with TruGreen to be over.
If you folks are really interested in having a quality company customer service is essential. My experience indicates that work needs to be done in keeping notes, communication between different factions and doing what you say you'll do. I recognize that no system is perfect but my experience was horrible and no one should be treated this way. It takes a lot to get me angry. This would have made anyone furious. I hope you will treat take this letter to heart.

I've been a TruGreen customer for over 20 years. Lately, I've been working from home when they have come to service the lawn. Often the receipt will say that they knocked and there was no answer when I actually watched them pull up and never knock. The latest is that they did not knock as they said and they also said they closed the fence when done. Since I was home watching, I know that the tech did not enter the backyard, fence was not touched. The Tech also wrote my lawn was full of mushrooms and when I look I don't even find 1. I think they just have pre-typed comments that get printed on the receipt depending on what they did to your lawn or what they selected. The Tech isn't actually typing anything and nothing is actually specific to your lawn at all. When I call about this they say they will have someone come out and re-do it.
The second tech also did not enter the backyard and just re-treated the front. I called and complained and they sent a manager out to check the backyard (but not on the day they said they were coming). They apologized and finally treated the backyard. I called about the service not being done when they said it would and they said they would give me half off the next 2 treatments. This is fine and all but they don't seem interested in the fact that the technicians are not treating the entire property.
I don't blame the technicians, TruGreen probably gives them a daily schedule that is impossible to complete in the time given so they have to cut corners somewhere. It's also not their fault for what is written on the statement as they are just selecting options. I was also told that the technicians are not required to tell you if for some reason they are unable to treat the entire property (sprinklers on, dog out, etc.). They just don't do it and bill you anyway. Unfortunately I'm planning to try another company as the service at TruGreen has really done downhill.

It took 6 days to get someone out after repeated frantic calls. Each day that goes by, more of the lawn is dying. The service agent took pictures, said he had no idea what it was (!) and would have someone call me.

The customer service reps are extremely gracious but can do nothing except "put a note in the file" to have a manager contact me. I was informed they don't return calls much because they are out in the field for most of the day! Too bad I didn't get one of those "experts" to look at my lawn. I have been promised a return call each day this week. In the meantime, the entire parkway is dead and damage is starting in both the front and backyard. We take tremendous pride in our lawn and would just like the opportunity to save at least a portion of it. Awful company, I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. Green T was local, responsive, genuine and easy to reach...I am saddened by this buyout.

After a recent service the technician left a note saying my yard was full of weeds. I know that. I have been a customer of yours for many years and have been asking for you to rid my yard of weeds and get grass growing. So, the ball is in your court. Fix it, or lose a long term customer. My yard can look good, before I became old and disabled it did.

The only suggestion that I have constantly relayed to your company is that of scheduling - even though there are 5 houses in my block - the scheduler does give the service men the same area and sends multiple trucks to the same block on different days - seems wasteful of company resources as I assume this practice is throughout the QCA.
Thank you for your review and also for choosing us!

I noticed some brown spots growing all around the house. I emailed and inquired about how this could happen. TruGreen sent a technician out the next day. He noted the spots, put some fertilizer on the entire yard, and Mother Nature provided the water! Less than a week later, the yard was once again lush and green! Thanks TruGreen!

Even though I rarely see the service agent, I read the documentation and recommendations. The billing is clear and new services are detailed as well as problem areas. With every change of weather the appropriate care recommendations make sense. I am happy with the service.

The technician did a great job and answered questions I had about some concerns. She the necessary time plus a little extra regarding issues I had. She took some extra time to solve the issues I had about lawn care.

I don't think it's necessary to tell you how bad TruGreen Indian Trail is. I'll just post my pictures and you can judge for yourself. They spilled fertilizer all over the grass and killed it. They spilled fertilizer in the street and left it. I had to sweep it up so our pets and other animals wouldn't be poisoned. We have repeatedly called TruGreen and sent emails requesting someone come out and fix our grass. This was not the first time they spilled fertilizer either. No one has been out. No one has called back. No one cares. Terrible customer service. We're cancelling our service with them too. Oh yeah, we received a bill for their terrible service.

I received a call the day before the tech came out to apply the summer booster of fertilizer. By doing that I was able to clean up the yard of dog treasures and anything laying around. The tech came, gave me some pointers on what to do to help improve our yard. The yard looks the best it's been ever.

Our yard has always been a problem. Multi-level and never properly graded. TruGreen is doing an excellent job with our yard. We have shrubs and trees and they care for them, too. Our shrubs and trees are growing and are giving us privacy.

My lawn looks worse now than it ever did in 21 years. I called the service because I had weeds. They killed the weeds and the grass. I have brown spots all over. I called them and they said they would come back to fix the problem and they never did. They claim they never had an order to come back. So I would never recommend them to anyone!! They are not what they claim to be.

Call weekly to see when my next service is (haven’t had one since April - supposed to be once a month). Every time I’m given a date. Sometimes Trudy calls to tell me my lawn care specialist will be out. Sometimes she doesn’t. Each time, no one shows. I call back and get the sand run around. Had the same problem in past years. Not sure if it’s our local office or not but something needs to be done from upper management. Horrible service.

Overall I have been satisfied with lawn care - BUT - I am still waiting for a solution to eradicate the ongoing issue with violets that continue to spread throughout my lawn. This has been an issue discussed every year but has NOT been resolved!!!
