    Had been a customer for 20 years. Lived through the years when they were supposed to have treated for grubs and we got grubs and various times over the years when treatment was not properly applied. However, when my lawn was damaged by their treatment twice in one season, I had had enough. I called and complained, told them I wasn't paying for the final treatment of the year which had damaged the lawn (which their "lawn care specialist" confirmed when he came out to look at the damage).

    In February, I was shocked when a received a letter that my $60 balance was unpaid and sent to a debt collector. I called and received a call back a few days later that the balance had been removed and we were all set. When we didn't get a call about our first treatment date in mid-April, I called and was told that my account was suspended. Was told it would be fixed and we would be scheduled for treatment. Other week goes by and I call again and I'm told the issue was fixed. Two days later, account is still on hold. Don't know why I kept calling to try and be their customer. Happy to report I've called a new lawn service and will never use this company who has HORRIBLE customer service ever again.

    I had TruGreen for two years. Mid last summer I started noticing increasing dead patches, moss and weeds. Illinois was in the drought and I kept watering all through August. I even threw down some of my own grass seed that came up. When the weather improved in October, I noticed that my lawn had dead patches not coming back. I asked TruGreen when they were doing overseed and they told me overseed and aeration were done in August. In the middle of the drought. TruGreen came out in early December to aerate my lawn again, even though I told them not to bother and do it first thing in the spring, along with overseed, I was willing to pay extra, but no one listened. It snowed 2 days later (northern Illinois). As I was heading out of the country, I just shook my head how can any lawn service do anything in December in this zone. When I returned and got my first renew notice, I canceled my service.

    In early March I started getting calls and emails from TruGreen, along with Pete, a local supervisor who promised to come out and review my concerns. I told him that I wanted spring overseed or some direction, so I can have a lawn this year. Foolishly I agreed to renew. Imagine my surprise on Friday afternoon to get a call from Robot Rudy. On Monday, 3/26, tech came out and I wasn't home, so he did "TruGreen service" applying fertilizer. Oh, I have no weeds and my lawn is "thin" (never mind that it snowed several times next 2 weeks after and weeds have no chance to come out).

    After 2 years of TruGreen, I have crabgrass, creeping bellflower, dead patches, a tuft of the lawn here and there, the healthiest the small patch I did with leftover grass seed to see what my lawn could be like. I have 0 evidence that TruGreen ever seeded. I have 0 new growth other than what I did. Pete promised to call me after I complained that he did not come out as promised instead of the robo call and first service which did nothing for my lawn. He said he'll check my records and call back. Never happened. I canceled again last weekend (have it in writing) and will never renew or recommend. I have signed up with another lawn service that can hopefully rescue the trainwreck you left me with.

    All you had to do is call, care, and work with me to recommend the best service for my lawn. And show results. Oh no, instead you wanted to sell me mosquito treatment. I will take a video of my "TruGreen" 2 years later (2018 spring) lawn so I can show everyone to stay away from you folks. It wasn't about the "money," I paid all your bills including the 2018 nonsense. It was all about caring about my lawn and letting me have one. Sad. I wish no further contact from TruGreen ever again. Please remove me from all of your records and do not call/email/contact again. You 100% failed me. Oh and those "difficult to get rid of weeds" that you noted last year, I had to google myself. Creeping bellflower. I'd think a serious lawn service can ID the weed without homeowner having to google?

    I signed up for the lawn service and the tree and shrub care. The service itself was very good. Almost immediately after signing up, I started getting regular sales calls to try to upsell me to the mosquito protection. I canceled the tree and shrub care after a few months as I didn't see a difference. Immediately I started getting sales calls for tree and shrub. Annoyed by this, I canceled my entire service. The sales calls continued. Then TruGreen showed up to perform an aeration service which I did not request or authorize. I was supposed to be completely canceled at this point. My wife was home and stopped them before they did the work. She let them know that we did not request aeration, we did not authorize the work and we do not want it performed.

    Shortly thereafter, I got another automated message call that my aeration service had been rescheduled. At this point I called in and was quite firm and probably unpleasant in my request to TERMINATE ANY AND ALL SERVICE AND STOP CALLING ME. That worked for the rest of the season. I just received an automated call that my lawn is going to be serviced tomorrow. I called in, spoke with a supervisor. I reaffirmed TERMINATE ANY AND ALL SERVICE AND STOP CALLING ME. I called back in and spoke to another person to see if I had actually been canceled. I was still set up for aeration only. Good God. These people are either so disorganized that they cannot run their business, or maliciously attempting to provide services I did not authorize.

    I hated to have to terminate my services and leave such a scathing review as my lawn looked really good. However, TruGreen has been extremely dishonest in their dealings with me. I am hoping that this review will let them know I mean business. At the very least, it will serve as documentation. If this happens again, I will take legal action.

    I had used TruGreen a number of years ago, this week a man from the Plymouth office came by my house and spoke to me about using TruGreen. He gave me a brochure and I told him I was not interested. After thinking about it I decided to give them a call. They gave me a quote with the dollar amount and I asked if they would send what they will do for the money. It took three calls and I received another quote with nothing except how much the service would be. I really believe the BBB should look into this. We should receive a list of what they will do with the bill invoice.

    I prepaid 700$ for a year, neighbors signed up after me and got plugs put in yard before me and the tech canceled my appointment same day they did neighbors' yard with plugs right next door and then canceled next 4 times they were suppose to do my plugs. Kept getting run around from customer service and then they said the manager was gonna call me to talk. Never did so after three weeks and still no plugs. I canceled TruGreen. Was my worst experience with a company ever then they charged me $100 for two services they performed before the plugs were suppose to be put in, first was for weed killer next was for potash treatment. I think I should have been charged anything since they didn’t do anything for my yard and didn’t hold up their end of the bargain!

    We have been TruGreen Prepaid customers for many years. For the first few years, it was pretty good. One of our neighbors actually signed up for TruGreen service after seeing our lawn. However, for the past several years, our own lawn has been deteriorating with more and more weeds. As of today, two-thirds of the front yard is filled with chickweeds. We have lost the normal grass due to the spread of weeds. We have handed our beautiful lawn to the wrong hand. They put applications without evaluating the yard and come without checking the weather condition. We are so disappointed with TruGreen "service".

    I have 3 concerns about my experience with TruGreen. First, the technicians who came never realized that my lawn is zoysia grass and requires a slightly different type of care from other lawns. It seemed to me that TruGreen has a "One Size Fits All" sort of lawn maintenance schedule, and that they apply that schedule no matter what type of lawn they are servicing. Different types of lawns require different types of care. But it seemed to me as though TruGreen either didn't realize that zoysia is not the same as other types of grass, or that they really didn't care.

    My second area of concern is that in just about every interaction I had with TruGreen, they were trying to upsell me to a different service or product. The few times when the technician spoke with me, he was always trying to convince me that I needed something for my bushes or something for another part of my yard. I always had the uneasy feeling that TruGreen's real concern was to get more money rather than to care for my lawn. This feeling was reinforced when I received (unsolicited) calls from TruGreen, attempting to sign me up for new lines of service. When I said that I was not interested, the TruGreen representative started the "hard sell". I did not appreciate the calls attempting to sell me something that I likely didn't need, and I really resented the TruGreen representative's refusal to accept a "No, Thank You" from me.

    The third area of concern has to do with their billing. It is very confusing, and I never knew exactly what I owed or when I needed to pay. This had something to do with signing up early for a discount (something I am convinced I did), but then receiving bills from TruGreen that made it appear as though I was not receiving the discount I had signed up for, (These billing statements invited me to sign up for a discounted bonus). In any event, at the end of the season, TruGreen said I still owed them some money, and they threatened to send my bill to collection unless I paid.

    All in all, my experience with TruGreen was not satisfactory. My lawn was not damaged. However, my lawn did not receive the care I thought I was paying for. Additionally, TruGreen seemed, during the course of the time I had a contract with them, to be much more interested in marketing new product and service lines to me that they were in providing the service I had contracted them to do. And their billing process was opaque and, in my view, misleading.

    We have been using this service going on five years now. We used to have the best looking lawn in the neighborhood. However the past 2 years it’s gone downhill. We are usually never home when the service takes place, however we have surveillance throughout the estate. And I can honestly say that no one has ever taken a minute to evaluate my lawn. It’s the same routine, the driver pulls up unloads the truck and starts the work. And it’s always the same generated message on the bill. "Your grass looks good." I noticed a little weed and crab grass. I would expect these experts to really evaluate the situation and come up with a solution.

    I have lived here for 6 years and have never aerated my lawn, I would think that they would recommend but no. Actually after doing some research on my own I called to request that service. Since I’m paying the experts I thought my job was to mow the lawn and water which I do as recommended. I have to give credit to customer service. Every time we’ve called they have always seemed to care. And the price is fair. Since we use their mosquito service as well. All I want is someone with real knowledge to come out evaluate, and speak to me on how we can correct these lawn issues I been having. And come up with a solution. I almost forgot to mention I have neighbors without irrigation and does not use your service and their lawn looked better than mine last year and thus far this spring.

    April, 9, 2018... I hired TruGreen on March 2018 because they are well-known. Anyway, I just recently purchased their services and I believed that I would get a personal touch. I believed that a technician would come to my door, speak with other, myself or my wife and get to know our lawn and touch base with my concerns and needs. NOPE! The technician came out while I was at work and wife at home. I left gate opened and according to my wife, he just went straight to work. Was there maybe 10ish minutes and poof, gone like the wind. No knock on the door to announce his arrival, not even a “Hello (insert name), I’m about to enter your property, what concerns do you have today?”

    The technician left a note of what he did and left. I can hire Jimmie nobody with that kind of service. When it comes to their customer service, they hire VERY friendly people who seem to make sure your concerns get documented and manager called me back in a timely fashion. The manager said that the technician told him that he knocked on my door, but no answer. Wow! Was that a bold face lie. As far as my grass goes in its early stages, the weeds are almost gone, except a few that he missed, but manager said he will address those at his next visit. Ok...

    I used this service for two years. The parts of my yard that they actually sprayed looked great. I caught them more not fertilizing my backyard on at least three occasions. The first occasion the manager tried to tell me I was mistaken because the tech said he did it and wouldn’t lie. After a day the manager from Franklin Mass called me back and apologized and said the tech was confused and said he missed the backyard. He immediately sent the tech back out and the situation was resolved. The manager was extremely nice and provided his cell phone for any future issues.

    The next spring my service was transferred to Chelmsford Mass. Twice throughout the year the tech skipped my backyard. I sent email after email and never got a response. At the end of the year TruGreen called trying to get me to re-up for a third year. When I told them about my issues, the great resolution was a 15 dollar refund. I was paying over 200 a year for their service and almost every time I was home I caught them not fertilizing the area I paid for. I would not recommend this service to anyone. I paid for service I didn’t receive and spent hours waiting for return calls and emails that never came until they wanted me to pay up for another year. For the same price you can do it yourself.

    I have a very positive experience with TruGreen since starting service in October 2016 because of an infestation of sod worms that almost turned my nice yard into a mud pit. From the first application, the tide was turning against the pests and it has taken this long to begin to recover back to the nice yard it once was. Most of the credit belongs to the substances used to combat the pests and the weeds prevalent in this area, but my Technician, Scott **, methodically applied the substances, provided spot-on recommendations for watering and future applications and ensured the close monitoring of the regrowth. The yard has responded thanks to his knowledge and expertise. It will probably take until the end of this year to bring it back to its original glory, but the journey has been worth it. I will continue to use this service to help prevent any future problems with my yard.

She gave me the runaround, and could not answer the simplest questions that any contractor would be happy to provide in order to promote their business. My feeling is that this is a predatory scam business at best. Who would agree to a year long lawn care contract without being able to confirm references? Buyer beware.

    The technicians have been very friendly and helpful when I have questions. In fact they ask if I have any questions. They have always rung the doorbell to tell me they have arrived. They respect our property and it is a pleasure to have them work on my yard. The lawn is looking great after we signed, originally with Scotts.

    I guess I'm just fed up. My husband pays for this service and on several occasions they would come out say they treated the yard and never came in the back. Sometimes I work from home and my office is the back room where I can see anyone who would be in the yard, but they were never back there. My most recent complaint is the last time they came out and treated the yard, I was here and they did treat the yard, but my dog has been having reactions ever since. When calling TruGreen to get the name of the chemical used so that I can inform my Vet, they have no records of them coming out. We have a bill for that day, and it says we received TruHealth Lawn Service, yet the rep on the phone found no records of us receiving treatment that day, is it because we started the call off with our pet is having a reaction to the chemical?

    And now so conveniently they have no record, even though I was here, can describe both guys, the time frame they came and we have a bill for that day? As a pet owner, this is disheartening and I just want to know what was used so that I can have my dog properly treated but I guess you guys don't care about that. And we were told a manager may not get back to us until next Monday, a whole 6 days away and we are calling about the welfare of our dog, REALLY? We are CANCELLING your service. Treatment date 3/21/2018 my dog has been having issues as of that day. Hmm, no record of the service??? The customer number on the billing for this service will be provided in the "order number" in this complaint form. Statement date of 3/22/2018, the day after the service, total due $46.95, but you have no record of this service and you can't help me help my dog.

    Prepaid $581 for 1 year contract. My front yard is sod and they did manage to control the weeds. My back and side yards did not benefit one bit from TruGreen. Back and side yards look no better than my neighbors that did nothing. When asked to prepay for another year, I declined so they just showed up and did a treatment anyway, then billed me for $51. I went ahead and paid because that's easier than trying to argue with an unscrupulous company. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY.

    Where do I start on this. Had TruGreen start to treat our lawn to fix it. They came and treated our trees and bushes without us knowing and kill a bush and avocado tree in the backyard. Had sod laid down by them and was told after 30 days would come back out to inspect and fix any areas that didn’t take. Was able to talk to the manager and said they would get someone which they never did. More than a couple times they have come out and said they “treated” the whole lawn but would’ve been impossible since gate to the backyard was locked. They also didn’t treat the backyard once when my fiancée was home and watched them. I insisted that they make sure I’m home when they treated but they never did. This was back in July of 2017. Needless to say service was cancelled.

    Fast forward to March 2018 and have had numerous calls with them insisting a manager would call me back but it has yet to happen. Right now one side of my backyard has died off. Weeds took over in the areas that didn’t take and overall yard looks like crap. (And if you are wondering TruGreen, the weeds took hold even while you were supposedly “treating” so don’t get the idea it was because I cancelled service.) The company basically comes down to once they get their money they don’t give a care about their product or service. Highly disappointed and still waiting for it to get fixed. Let’s see if the manager calls on Monday when they said they will call next when I last hated with them. I would give 0 stars but unfortunately this site won’t let me to post a review.

    After 13 months of treatment by TruGreen in Cary, NC, my once-lush front lawn is now almost all dead on one side, and the other is headed that way. The backyard had large dead spots in it, too. I have no idea how they did it. Last fall, they aerated and over-seeded, and during the entire year (including up to the last visit), they sprayed whatever it is they spray. Sometime in the fall, they spread something on the lawn, as well.

    When I asked why my lawn was dead and dying, the service person looked at it and said perhaps the neighbor's Zoysia from across the street had spread to our yard. The dead spots don't look anything like dormant Zoysia. There was no attempt to remedy the situation or apologize for the mess. I canceled my service immediately. I recommend to others that you forget these lawn services, especially TruGreen, and do it yourself. The best looking lawns in our neighborhood are maintained by the owners, the worst by lawn services.

    Prepaid March 2017. The only good thing about TruGreen is that they are prompt. That being said, my yard had more weeds in this past year than any other year I’ve been living in this house. I ended up using a Bayer product that attaches to my hose and it killed the weeds in a few days. This is all but a moot point. The real disturbing issue I have is that TruGreen uses what they call an auto-renewal policy. This policy states that you have to contact them and cancel their service. If you don’t they will show up and continue service. Initially when I was setting up the service you would think that they would disclose this fact. They don’t. When you get your statement for the first time there is a page two that you have to pay close attention to. Be aware of your state laws in regards to auto-renewal of contracts. For example, I looked up auto-renewal laws under nc.gov. HB 502 was the first entry to come up.

    These laws govern companies such as TruGreen and detail each step TruGreen must take before they can charge a customer in a new year. What’s interesting is that I’ve spoken to their billing department on several occasions and asked for their proof of the last statement they sent to me. This statement by law is to notify me of their auto-renewal policy. They did send a copy which was dated mid-October. Then I have sent them 3 emails asking them what was the date of the new cycle year. Amazingly I have had no reply to my request. NC state law requires TruGreen to notify me no later than 14 days and no earlier than 45 days prior to the new cycle beginning which from all that I’ve read is Jan 1st. Now if you do the math that doesn’t meet NC law. So now I’m in limbo and hopefully by writing this complaint somebody from TruGreen can return my emails and explain to me why they can’t handle this issue.

    After contacting TruGreen in regards to mole crickets, I was assured service by end of week. As caregiver for my elderly parents, I explained it was necessary for me to be contacted as to when technician would be coming, as I need to open gate and be home. Week went by, no call, no technician. Left 2 messages for my local supervisor and an e-mail, no response. Following week, while I was out with my parents, my son called me to say that the TruGreen tech was there. No call, no advance warning, like I requested. Tech did his thing and left me the paperwork on what was done. No pesticides to work on mole crickets, but fertilized. What happened to my mole cricket request? Called customer service, and then spoke to my local supervisor, who told me told me I would get a call to handle the mole crickets.

    Customer service had told me there was a TruGreen app, that would show me when tech was on his way, my local supervisor, did not tell me about it, because he was unaware of it!! Days go by, no call. I called customer service again, spoke to Amanda, who assured me she would handle. By the way, there were no notes in my account about calling me before arriving. A week goes by, no call from TruGreen. I call customer service again, spoke to Eric. Now Eric said that he was very sorry for my lack of response, and after explaining how his "team" is all about customer service and he PROMISED that he would positively get back to me in max 2 days.

    Guess what? NO CALL!!! A national brand NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. I had paid in full for the year, which I am now requesting a full refund. Not quite sure how TruGreen stays in business. I was a brand new customer, and was not given the common courtesy of a follow up call! I strongly suggest that those seeking a lawn care service to avoid TruGreen.

I called in November requesting my services to be canceled, they said that I had two services remaining for the year 2017 so they could go ahead and do those for a discounted price of $30, I said sure but after that I want the services canceled. They said, "Sure thing, we will contact you at the start of the New Year to see if you would like to start services again at that time," I said okay. Here we are in March, no phone call or anything, sounds okay, right? WRONG! I come home from work and there is a receipt for $60.00 on my door stating a service was performed.

    I stated in November I wanted my account canceled, I received no phone call, no email, nothing in the mail stating a service would be performed in March because as far I was concerned my account was canceled, I only received a receipt on the door and an email stating the service had been completed. I called TruGreen and they refuse to credit my account for this service that I did not want. If we ever decided to use a lawn care company again, I can guarantee it will not be with this company. My parents had the same issue with them years ago but I gave them the benefit of the doubt, boy was I wrong to do so!!! I have since spoken to someone on the phone and chat both of which refuse to credit my account for the full amount to where I owe nothing.

    I am writing this review to warn other homeowners of TruGreen's subpar work. After our new lawn was laid we hired Scotts Lawn Care to manage the pest and weed control etc. Scotts did a wonderful job. The lawn was lush and green for a year. They were then taken over by TruGreen. Our lawn, within a few months looked terrible. After repeated call outs because of fungus and dead patches everywhere, and no one with any knowledge to fix the problem, they had to replace part of it. They did this with plugs rather than new sod. 4 months later it still looked terrible with other parts of the lawn dying also. Every complaint was met with a call out and promises to resolve the problem, however, the issues were never solved.

    Our yard now looks terrible after spending a fortune on new sod only 2 years ago. My neighbor also used the same service, Scotts and then TruGreen. They also had the same experience. Their lawn looks dead too. We were both meticulous about watering and at the correct time of day. Needless to say, after more than a year of excuses and bad grass we have let them go.

I had to walk up to his truck before he would get out.

    10 days later my weeds were still growing strong but my garden plants started to die. I scheduled a respray and again they didn't show up. I never received a respray.

    Last fall in September 2017 I wanted to cancel my service with Trugreen. I spoke with service the rep. for Trugreen who then stated that my account was on now hold "until I called them to reactivate service". This month Feb. 2018 I found that Trugreen had applied service to my yard. I had not authorized Trugreen to take my account off hold or to treat my yard and was billed for the service. I called Trugreen to ask if my account was still on hold and they told me no it was not on hold, that it automatically activates itself with the new calendar year. I asked why I was never told of the automatic reactivation and why they serviced my yard without speaking to me first. The response I received was unacceptable. I was told the driver did call me while on his way to perform the service. Well I must have missed that call and also never received any voice messages either, so the man just shows up and performs the unapproved service.

    Deceptive practice is what this is... I ask the customer service rep. if the practice of automatic reactivation is written anywhere and was told no it isn't. I asked the rep. to cancel my service and send me an email verification of cancellation and she said that she can't email me or mail me any written verification of cancellation. I was only given a confirmation number with no printed proof of cancellation. This is extremely suspect to me. A little research on Trugreen shows this to be a normal practice for them. Trugreen apparently is in the habit of automatically activating accounts that were on hold, continuing service after it was cancelled and continuing to bill people after cancellation. Shame on them. I will never use them again and will never advise anyone to use them.

    Shortly after being sprayed by TruGreen January, 24, 2018, very healthy Holly foundation plants began to discolor and drop leaves. TruGreen was contacted in early February, sent a technician out on Feb 12, and with photos sent back to office said it was spider mites. Took dug up plants immediately to local nursery from whom plants were purchased, were examined, told me no bugs of any kind, suggest I take samples to local State Agricultural Center to send off for testing and a report, which I did. Report received and tried to contact and share with TruGreen, would not return initial phone calls, when I finally through home office made contact manager set up meeting to visit site and review problems. Never showed and never returned my calls.

    At this time, have contacted TruGreen home office again, and requested help, as it appears TruGreen is not interested in resolving my issue or even reviewing problem. I do not have an answer yet as to reason plants died or wilted, but certainly TruGreen has been unwilling to assist in resolving issue. It appears TruGreen wants your business and as long as you don't have a problem, will be happy to accept your payments. I can think of no other reason they will not return calls, or keep appointments which they made.

    I have used TruGreen twice, once when I lived in AL and now in GA. They down a decent job in AL -I was satisfied. Currently here this company has ruined my lawn. They never leave the notes from service call letting me know what was done, I’ve had to call them out to re-apply as the previous treatment was ineffective-I don’t think they applied anything but rather placed the sign in the yard. To that point, my grass has been taken over by weeds. They keep sending out “managers” that are going to take care of the problem but it progressively has gotten worse.

    They admitted they were having personnel issues but that has no bearing on the condition of my lawn-I purchased a service and am a victim of fraud. I hope I can reach the CEO with my letter and photos. I expect a lawn replacement NOT more chemicals sprayed on my lawn...been there. Do not use these guys-read reviews before you hire a lawn care specialist. I suggest using mom and pop-you can establish a relationship with them and avoid a corporate black hole of mistruth and misrepresentation!

    Shady sales personnel in Columbus, Georgia. Many of our neighbors have TruGreen service; therefore, the gentlemen are periodically knocking on our door to sell us a package, as well. In March 2017, we had several men approach us for this service. I opened the door and expressed, "No, thank you!". The next day, there was an attempted home invasion. All on surveillance, of course. Fast forward to February 2018... TruGreen representatives are knocking on our door, yet again. I called customer service yesterday and told them a Mr. ** would not leave the front of our home. Customer service stated, there was nothing they could do about a sales representative in the neighborhood. He parked his car and stood in front of the house, after I won't open the door (hanging around and talking on the phone). So suspect. Here we go again... I'm so scared the clock has started, once again, until the next attempted home invasion. "Wolves in sheep's clothing."

    Customer service stinks as far as the branch goes. 1- I have 2 properties side by side. They cannot figure out how to treat them at the same time. They treat them 1 to 2 weeks apart. You cannot get a return call back from anyone AND I MEAN ANYONE. When you call customer service, it goes to a corporate call center which everything they have in front of them is scripted. They put notes on the account and no one reads them WHEN IT GET TO THE LOCAL BRANCH! For 1 year I had this Asian guy who was on top of his game, he knew to treat both properties, he could see if there was an issue. I hated to lose him but I hope he moved on to a better job, he did not deserve to work for a company as unorganized as TruGreen.

    Nowhere can you get through to corporate to complain, all numbers go through the call center. They will apply fertilizer in torrential downpours or right before heavy rain. You then have to call back, sit on the phone for another 15 minutes and deal with the dopes at the call center. I spend over the course of a year over 4 hours on the phone with these people. Yes I still have them. I do not have time to treat my lawns. Yes lawns with an "s" (two properties) and TruGreen is the only game in town. They bought up everyone else. If I could leave I would. They claim will spot spray for wild garlic and onion, it never happens. Could someone from corporate please contact me or give me a contact # to further discuss. Thank you.

    Do not do business with this company. First of all, as everyone else says. You don't have anyone to voice your concerns with. They make up rules that you never agree with. My experience was the worst I've ever had with any company. I called to use their 29.95 start up service. I speaking to an answering service, Shannon is the lady I'm speaking with. I ask where she's from, she says she at our local TruGreen Office. I ask who the manager is. She doesn't know, but quickly starts discounting price of a full year of service. I say I'm not interested. I just want the now 37.95 service and would like to see who I doing business with before making a commitment to them. They need my credit card to start the offer. I receive an email telling me when they will come out and perform the service.

    Monday they show up and do a lime treatment for $75.95. Bill my credit card and say they're coming out on Wed do treat the weeds and perform the $37.95 treatment. I was railroaded into a year contract and they only serviced my front yard. I called to complain and was told someone would contact me in 24 to 48 hours. 2 days later no call. I call the answering service shut down the service, took my credit card off the website and asked for a refund. They say they will refund in 3 to 5 days??? No communication to anyone that works with TruGreen, just some answering service from either Florida or Georgia or wherever. Never have I experienced a lack of communication with any company as I did with TruGreen. The absolute WORST... Beware, don't need an attorney yet. Hopefully this is the end.

    Where to begin? We used TruGreen for a few months in 2016 but saw no improvement in our yard. We asked for overseeding and help with bald spots but were told they don't do seed. So I didn't understand how throwing some fertilizer on the burnt and bald spots of our yard was going to help. Spoilers: it didn't. It was overgrown with weeds by year end. For our last treatment, our neighbor said the technician parked the truck in front of our house, sat for a few minutes, put the flag in our yard, and left without performing service. The next year, this same neighbor employed TruGreen because he was not in the best of health to do his yard anymore. Twice the technician came to treat the yard, but didn't rake his leaves... He just sprayed all over them. I watched them do it! Now how is the grass going to absorb fertilizer through the leaves? He ended up cancelling, too.

    Over the next few months I got many calls from TruGreen to start my service again. Each time, I politely explained that we employ someone else now and have no desire to be on their call list. Each time, I'd speak with a new rep, and I'd tell them again to please never call back. The fact that I spoke with 6 different people over the span of about 3 months tells me that either 1.) the employees were blatantly ignoring my request to not be called or 2.) TruGreen just doesn't care and continues to break the law regarding phone communications. I even spoke to a manager once to request the same. Guess what? I still got called almost every single day.

    It wasn't until I threatened legal action that the phone calls stopped, but I never got a response. I emailed customer support twice documenting every single phone call. Because I had requested numerous times for the harassment to stop, I am absolutely entitled to a minimum of $500 for every subsequent phone call TruGreen makes. THAT is what made them stop - and NO response to either of my emails. It is insane to me that a company can operate like that! And, for extra fun: My local TruGreen calls me on Saturdays (twice in a day) but if you call their office, you get a message that it's closed. Great, so y'all can harass me on my day off, but if I try to get back in touch and tell you to stop, I can't until Monday!

    One last and crucial thing that 100% confirms how HORRIBLE TruGreen is: Paying for reviews. REALLY?! If you had any respect for your customers or had any pride in your services, this wouldn't be necessary. I couldn't believe my Birmingham, AL TruGreen office truly had a 4+ star rating... well, it doesn't, and your local office probably doesn't either. Every single reviewer that gave a 5 star rating was a sock account that also gave 5 star ratings to TruGreens across the US - most of them were stock photo puppets that got their HVAC repairs in San Diego, their yard treated by TruGreen Birmingham and TruGreen Richmond, VA, had ADT set up their alarm services in 4 different states, had their transmission fixed in Houston, TX, and had their hair permed in NYC in the same month. Not a single authentic good review.

    So, is TruGreen that aware of how horrible it is that they have stooped to the fake review level in order to get "on the fence" people to use them? Seriously, go look up your local TruGreen office and investigate the reviewers. I'm working with Google now to have those fake reviewer accounts removed and the fake reviews about TruGreen removed so that it is transparent and clear that REAL people gave them horrible reviews. No more covering it up. You'll be hard pressed to find a genuine one. You shouldn't be in business anymore. You are lying thieves and an outright scam.

    If I can give a 0 star rating I would. TruGreen Lawn Care worked on my yard for 6 months. This company is so screwed up in so many levels. TruGreen was assigned to come out to do aeration and overseeding and within an hour they sent another person out to do weed killing. Both "lawn care specialist" hung their receipts in the door tag recommending a conflicting schedule to water my lawn.

    It is so frustrating to call TruGreen and always reaching a call center in a different state or region. It is impossible to speak with someone locally. The customer service representative gives advice over the phone not knowing the climate or condition of the place I live. The call center messed up my request by scheduling a lawn specialist for my house to do aeration and overseeding in the dead, heat summer of July when I was told by a call center manager that they will return in the fall. Even though the work was not performed they still printed out the receipt that the job was done.

    My lawn looked awful with brown, bare patches everywhere, with weeds growing throughout the front and back lawn. I even hired my handyman to prep the area in the fall for TruGreen to come and do aeration and overseeding and wanted to have my handyman come back to cover the bare area with dirt to enhance the growth of the grass seed. I confirmed the appointment, got an automated call to flag the sprinklers so TruGreen can avoid hitting the sprinklers with their aeration machine, only to get a message left on the recorder that I was not on the schedule. I called the call center and they said I am on the schedule on a day in October. No one showed to do any aeration or overseeding, no tag was placed on my door, yet when I contacted TruGreen their computer said the job was done in the morning. They say that they guarantee healthy lawn.

    They claim that "TruGreen will gladly visit your property as often as needed between schedule visits to make any necessary adjustments and to ensure your satisfaction". I found out that all the while, the customer service people tailored our conversation to only cover up the many mistakes that they made. I don't believe that the upper management are not fully aware of such despicable misconduct.

They will evaluate soil condition, client, etc.

    Nothing happened like that. I did few service calls but no luck improvement in my lawn. Now I have been told to wait for few more months to reseed and good time to reseed is fall when my plan just gets over. TruGreen service guy told me that, "Previous TruGreen service guys did not do the good job on your lawn and they should have noticed the problem up front." He also told me that, "Your lawn is not as per TruGreen standard." I have showed them my neighbor's lawn grass which done by normal moving gardener which is much better. What's a point hiring TruGreen $$$ expensive service. Extremely extremely dissatisfied with the experience so far. There is no improvement in my front lawn.

    TruGreen came to my house to aerate the yard. I was home at the time and saw what they did and they did a horrible job. We called TruGreen five times to discuss the service and even told them not to come back to our house. Every time we called we were told that a supervisor would call us back. Someone finally did call us and said they would send someone out to our house to look at what they had done to our lawn, no one ever came to the house or called us. Oh, I should say this all started August 23, 2017. They billed our credit card and we disputed the charge with the credit card company. We received a letter from the credit card company that the charge was reversed. Last week we received a letter from a collection agency for the charge.

    We had not received any other notices from TruGreen so we thought this issue was all set. Even after telling them to cancel our service they sent someone to fertilize our lawn. I have now made three more calls to TruGreen to speak with a manager about the collection notice. I simple get from the answering service that someone will call me within 24-48 hours. I did receive a call on Monday but was not near my phone to answer it. I called right back and was told someone would call me within 24-48 hours. It is impossible to speak to anyone other than the answering service. I am desperately trying to resolve this bill and I can't.

    I've found all of my experiences with TruGreen in Rocky Hill Connecticut to be frustrating, to say the least. Mostly due to their lack of communication between departments of their company, and with myself as their customer. This is not my first go around with TruGreen, but if this is how their customer service will continue, it will surely be my last. In the fall of 2016 when my family first signed up for (and fully prepaid) the 2017 year of lawn service, the first treatment was intended to be an aerate and overseed of our lawn. However, that same day that the aerate and overseed was scheduled (a Friday), someone from TruGreen came without warning and performed a weed treatment.

    An organized lawn care company would understand that these two treatments cannot be performed on the same day. When the individual that we were expecting showed up to perform the scheduled aerate and overseed, we informed him that someone had already come that same day and performed a weed treatment. He completely agreed that a wait would be required before that treatment could be applied successfully. Someone then came the following Monday (3 days later) and did the treatment, agreeing afterwards that it was too soon and may not take. In case anyone reading this is wondering, it did not take. Fast forward to spring and summer of 2017, there were two separate occasions where TruGreen came to fertilize, and no weed treatments were performed. Given the failed seeding in the spring and lack of weed treatment that we were expecting, our lawn looked downright terrible all year.

    When my husband called to voice his concerns back in April 2017, we were told by TruGreen that we would receive a refund of a specified amount, in acknowledgement that services previously performed, were done so poorly. We promptly received that refund. Fast forward to summertime, we began receiving bills for summer treatments that were included in what we already prepaid. The refund we received was absolutely NOT intended to be a refund of our prepayment for future services during the year, that TruGreen would then turn around and re-bill us for. How would that have compensated us for the lack of quality service we received? It wouldn't have at all.

    In order for the refund to be the true reflection of what we were promised, the refunded amount should be reflected against services PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED, not for those prepaid that had not yet been completed. To be perfectly clear - it was a refund for poor service. It was not a credit from our prepaid future services. To be re-billing us again for this is both fraudulent and at odds with what we were previously told in April. I'm putting this in writing because it doesn't seem as though the verbal communication is making any progress. I tried to log into our account online to see if anything had been resolved as promised, and it appears to be locked.

    I reached back out to the TruGreen individual who provided us an account statement, and received no response. I went so far as to fill out the "Contact Us" section of the TruGreen website, and STILL did not receive a response. This is my last attempt before also contacting the Better Business Bureau in Connecticut. The bill we have been receiving is for less than $100, however, it has gone unpaid. As far as my family is concerned, TruGreen did not complete all of the services on our lawn this year that we paid for. We recently received a letter from a collections agency. If they had any intention of resolving this issue, I would have received a response from any of my forms of communication noted above.

    I'd also like to state that when we previously signed up for TruGreen services in 2013/2014, this is a very similar customer service experience as we had back then. Only that time they never offered to refund for poor service. TruGreen called us weekly between 2014 and 2016, bordering on harassment, offering us their services, and we were promised an improved process with better communication. We took another chance on your company and are incredibly disappointed that this situation went even more poorly than the first time.

    To make matters more interesting, I figured having an outstanding bill would spare us from TruGreen's weekly sales calls attempting to sign us up for the 2018 season. Also not the case! We received our first call last week. My husband attempted to explain the circumstances, and the sales rep indicated he could help look into the issue for us. Also, no response. I cannot stress enough how difficult it would be for me to ever recommend this company to a friend or a complete stranger.

    After fighting spotting on my red tip bushes and fungus on my lawn, I decided to hire TruGreen to tackle the problem. I paid for a year in advance for tree and shrub service and lawn care. They started work in February and by April I was calling them. Not happy, they explained it takes time. By June I still wasn't happy so when I was asked by email to review the service, I gave them a very unsatisfactory review. A Manager contacted me and asked to meet me at my house to go over my issues with the service. I showed him everything that I wasn't happy with and he came up with a plan of attack. They treated and treated again, but by October it had only gotten worse. I received another email review and I gave them another bad review and I was contacted by a different Manager. He also met me at my home and came up with a plan again. He did explain that things were going dormant and we wouldn't be able to tell if things worked until next spring.

    I explained that I didn't want to keep throwing money at a no win problem. He told me he would work with me on the financial part. The lawn deteriorated even more and now I have big dirt spots. Fast forward to today I was called to start service again this year. I asked to talk to the last manager I talked to and was connected with him. I explained again that I didn't want to keep throwing money away. He reassured me that they could fix the problem but it would take time. My offer to them was to spray my bushes and lawn for six months and if they showed improvement I would pay for the whole year. They declined, they wanted me to just keep paying and take their word things would get better. I've cancelled their service and plan on tackling the problem myself.

    Lawn worse after a year with TruGreen - I was using TruGreen to maintain my lawn while I wasn't a full-time resident for half of the year. Upon moving in full time, I noticed that during the core-aeration only the front lawn was done. I inquired and was informed that was all I had paid for... not true. I contacted them and they verified that in fact my program was for the entire yard (front, back and sides). They came back out and did the remaining lawn and did issue a partial refund for not doing the entire yard for the majority of the year. The very next application - once again only the front was done. Repeated attempts by them to eradicate the weeds in the sides and back were not successful.

    Going with another vendor as I just don't trust them and the treatments they tried, just didn't work. Some of the people there did seem to make an attempt to correct the situation - but at the end of the day... they weren't able to do enough. If you sign up with TruGreen, make sure you are always there when they service your yard so you can make sure you are getting what you paid for.

They came to my house around 3 times and every time they came the person only did treatment in the front, not the backyard and I call to complain and they did it over and over only at the front and they said that they did it in the front and backyard and that is not correct because I work from my home and I see who comes in and goes out. They are ripping people off. I canceled my service but they are insisting I pay for the last treatment that I did not get my full service. I called and spoke with a young lady to explain I did not think I should have to pay and suggested I will write a review on Google and BBB. I checked to ensure I had the address she gave me. My rating for them -0. Stay away from this company.

    We were not satisfied with your service. Jeff yes... We wanted our lawn to look nice for a family reunion... It looked terrible. The reunion wasn't until the middle of August. So plenty of time. One guy came. We didn't see him at first. Didn't have us move cars. Seemed in a hurry. One guy came day before reunion. We had campers here. He was going to spray?? Really. We said no then.

    Paid upfront for annual service... Had several problems throughout the year. Mainly when they plugged and seeded my yard they spread grass seed everywhere!! Filled the flower beds, filled the driveway, filled the rock beds...what a mess! Had to have them return several times as weeds were terrible... then was told it would cost even more if I wanted the lawn problem treated that I never had before them. Then once my contract was up they kept coming. I called the account manager and told them to stop. I told him definitely don't let them come back and throw grass seed all over again and they came ANYWAY!!! Now I have a terrible mess again and to make it even worse they keep billing me for services that I told them I didn't want and now they're sending me letters from a collection company.

    I have called and text the account manager asking why he doesn't correct this and I get no response… We even talked about this when I contacted him and told them to stop coming!! But now no response. What a terrible terrible company!! I will be posting on every site I can including social media and every other source I have available to me.

    The good news is that my lawn looks great from early spring until the snow falls. The techs are efficient and leave notes regarding the treatments that they do. The notifications before their visits are good because we are often not home and the advanced notice helps me plan my next lawn mowing. The bad news is that the shrub service protects the shrubs but does nothing to combat the weeds that spring up in the shrub bed and then proceed to get into the lawn. It would be nice if something could be done to contain these weeds. I come home after a trip and find these weeds overrunning the shrub bed and spreading into the lawn. Finally, your sales people call 2 or 3 times per season to get us to take an extra service. My wife really doesn't like these calls. One call at the beginning of the season to discuss the coming year would be better and give me a happier wife.

    After purchasing my new home in an exclusive gated community in Destin Florida, I decided to hire TruGreen to keep my beautiful lawn thriving and keep up the appearance worthy of my neighborhood. I passed by a TruGreen truck on my way home and stopped and asked about the service. Later on they sent a representative to my home who inspected my yard, gave me a sales pitch and convinced me to pay in advance for an annual service.

    Over the year period of time my lawn progressively retreated and I continuously complained whereby multiple excuses were made to me, never their fault. I have automated sprinklers so watering was never an issue and a weekly lawn maintenance service which does an excellent job so I know he was providing me BS as my neighbors yards always appeared to look well maintained while my yard was progressively worse.

    The main difference in my yard and theirs was TruGreen! Nearing the end of my annual agreement I was again approached by TruGreen who asked me if I was again wanting to prepay for an annual agreement and I said firmly no and pointed out my yard as being so bad that I was planning on re-sodding the following year and would never use their service again.

    Later on I arrived home to find a TruGreen sign in my yard and a notice on the door pertaining to an application being provided to my yard. I called and complained and said that I had previously informed them that I did not renew my service. The reason why (I was angrily expletive). And they told me that they were very sorry and wanted to send a company representative over to discuss this with me and even insinuated that they would potentially re-sod my yard for me.

    We set up an appointment and that representative never showed up. We received an invoice and I again called and complained and again they apologized and set up an appointment for someone to come out the next day. Another no-show. A few months later TruGreen again showed up at my home and my wife saw them and approached them and asked them what they were doing there as we had canceled our service. He left and I again received an invoice and I again called and complained and told them I did not want anyone to come out. I just wanted them to stop treating and bothering me as my lawn was continuing to derivate.

    I am writing this today because I just received a letter that I had been turned over to a collection agency demanding that I pay or my credit would be damaged. The amount they claim I owe is small so I will call them on Monday and pay it, but I plan to put a sign in my lawn saying that TruGreen treated this lawn and now I need to replace it. I also plan to completely use social media to show before and after pictures and tell the world about the truth about their services. I will do this repeatedly. FYI - One strange thing I have noticed recently is that I no longer see their truck in our neighborhood.

    I signed up for TruGreen less than two months ago and can't believe the level of poor service I have received. I signed up for their TruComplete Lawn plan and was very excited to get this going so that we would start to see a lush green lawn for my daughters to play on next summer. Well... Thus far I am not pleased. My first call with them I set up the first and second appointment. The first appointment was for the "Healthy Lawn Analysis" & Application (of what I don't know but we'll get to that later) and the second appointment was for a Sulfur application and Aeration. So a week later I get two automated calls an hour apart for both of these services to be completed on the same day, which is not what was requested.

    I specifically asked for these two appointments to be separate for budgetary reasons being the Aeration is a $215 service and the initial Healthy Lawn Analysis was supposed to be an introductory price of $29 or $39 (I don't know anymore as there have been so many promises broken in a short time period). I called and a rep apologized and fixed the appointments or so I thought. So the first appointment came and went just as fast. I was promised twice (my initial call to set up the service and my "fix the appointments" call) that the Tech would call prior to arriving to discuss my lawn for the "Healthy Lawn Analysis." Well, that did not happen. The Tech showed up and beat on my front door for several minutes.

    This is according to my blind and disabled mother trying to make her way to the door. Luckily her nurse had just shown up and told him to do what he needed to do. This upset me on both the front of NOT calling prior and for the fact that he beat on the door hard and long enough to upset my mother. The nurse called me to tell me about the ordeal and I rushed over to the house from work and to my surprise the Tech was gone and there was some stuff scattered on my lawn. Whatever... So I call TruGreen when I return to work to explain what happened and they promised someone would call to reschedule the "Healthy Lawn Analysis" with me as originally promised. As well as put a note on my account to NOT knock on the door due to a disabled elderly inside. All sounded fixed.

    Well, now a couple of days later I log in to my bank and TruGreen had charged me $111 instead of the Introductory rate they had promised. I login to the TruGreen Dashboard and indeed they did but their dashboard does not say what it was for. So I call again... The issue was that the Tech not only did the initial treatment (which to this day I still don't know what that was) along with the Sulfur Treatment that was supposed to be performed at the time of the Aeration Service a few weeks later. Therefore not only did he call, beat on my door, applied the first treatment (still don't know what that was), but added a treatment that was supposed to be performed at a later date due to my budget which I explained to TruGreen Reps on more than one occasion. So the call center rep gave me a partial credit for the Sulfur treatment. So, to say the least, I am not pleased with the start or our relationship.

    A day later I get a call from TruGreen trying to upsell me on Tree and Shrub service. I was like are kidding me? I ripped the guy a new one and said their company needs to get their ** together and read their customer notes prior to calling to sell more services or products and hung up on him. So annoyed at this point. Finally, after about a week another Tech shows up. No call, No warning, at 7 am when I am getting my kid ready for Day Care. I'm livid! I don't have time for this man at this hour and his response was that he had 200 appointments that day. So that's my problem? You don't call and show up at the break of dawn on a weekday unannounced?!?! There is no courtesy with this company obviously. I'm about over it.

    Well now the time has come to get the aeration service completed. I come home from work the day it's supposed to be completed and nothing. I chalk it up due to the weather being bad and rainy. Nope! The kid, and I do mean kid, show up at around 5:30 pm. Mind you, there is about 10 minutes of daylight left, the lawn is soaked and muddy, and I'm just like, "Do your thing" to the kid. I asked him if the Christmas lights on the lawn were going to be a problem and he said no. Well he's there ripping through my lawn like a race car driver trying to get this done before you can't see the lawn anymore and he comes walking up and proceeds to ask me "do you have any gas?" I looked at him, laughed, and got him gas. Are you kidding me?!?! They don't supply you with gas and now I have to provide it for you??? I was so mad but did not take it out on the poor kid.

    I decided to hold off and call in the morning to file my umpteenth complaint now. Well to add insult to injury, I went out to take a look at the lawn after he left and just like I thought, he literally did rip through my lawn like a race care. He didn't cover the entire lawn, he left these gapping "W" patterns in the mud missing a good 30%+ of the lawn, and since it was a wet muddy day made it look that much worse! I called yesterday morning to speak to a Supervisor and to my delight, there was not one available. BIG SURPRISE!!!

    Now I'm simply left with an apology and that someone will be in touch within three days. Really? What kind of company are you running there? I'm at the point where I just want to cancel the service and get a refund. I've gotten better service from lawn guys that don't even speak English. I'm so over it but am waiting for my call back as promised. We will see if that ever comes or if I have to call back again. Let's pray it doesn't come to that as that poor rep on the other line is going to have a bad day.

    Thank you for reviewing your services Lee, we are pleased to know that we are effectively meeting your lawn care needs. As a reminder you can modify the aeration to being done once per year. We emphasize the importance of aeration since the perforation of the soil with the small holes allows air, water and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This helps the roots grow deeply and produce stronger, healthier, more weed resistant and vigorous lawns.

There were almost never weeds popping up in front, and a previous crop of weeds in back were well-controlled. It used to be I had to have the lawn mowed to cut down weeds more than to cut down grass, but with the treatments that was no longer an issue.

    Although I am not a customer I wanted to share my experience. Two weeks ago I called TruGreen to possibly become a new client. I spoke to Roy and he gave me a price for 6 rounds. He did explain to me what each round consisted of and I wrote it all down. I wanted to compare TruGreen to the program I currently use. Just today, I called again because I was still very interested and when I spoke to Jeff he told me that 2 of the rounds Roy mentioned were extras (grub control and lime)... He suggested that possibly I made a mistake.

    I did ask Jeff to look at possibly what Roy explained to me on the phone (maybe there was a record somewhere) but there wasn't. So after Jeff gave me a price for 6 rounds, (which was higher than Roy's price) he then placed me on hold to see if he could give me the same price quoted two weeks ago which he did. Now here is my big complaint... I told Jeff I would like to have everything in writing before I gave ANY money. According to Jeff I had to put it on my credit card and I didn't want to until I got it ALL in writing. Jeff said he couldn't do it so I said goodbye and they lost a potential customer..

    I hired TruGreen around 3 years ago. I had a fence and gate installed and was still charged for the area that they could not access. I found it difficult to communicate with them about setting up a time to access the area behind the gate. I paid for the entire area even though it was served less than 4 times. Late summer I received a call about a promotion. I accepted and pre-paid. For some reason there was another account set up. The new account had a credit. The old account had a balance. I was unaware of the account split. I have been receiving collection notices since October. I called them the second I received the first notice and they said my balance was 0. The notices kept coming.

    I called again. They explained my account had been split and I had a balance and they would not call off the collection company until it was paid. I told them to transfer the positive balance of the 2nd account to the negative balance of the 1st account and I sent a check for the difference. Collection action continued. I called again. They said they received the check but billing hadn't had time to clear accounts and call collection company. I gave them a week and called again. I was just told she wasn't sure but she thought I needed to send $105.

    The collection notice was for $131.73. My positive balance was $105. I sent $26.73, which was what the 2nd TruGreen rep told me to send. Simple math $131.73 negative, $105 and $26.73 positive gives you a 0 balance. Not so with TruGreen. Just got off the phone with them. They said they weren't sure and would have to call me back and the collection agency is still involved. If you value your time and credit score DO NOT USE TruGreen!!!

    As a customer who is particular about his lawn, TruGreen has earned my trust to provide the right service at the right time at a fair price with a plethora of services including fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, weed and crabgrass control, and aeration. I was so satisfied with their lawn service that I also hired them to treat my landscaping.
