    I call TruGreen to start lawn service. One day, at 7am, they rang the doorbell. Because I have a dog that has to be put up, I ask they reschedule and come at a later time. I was in the shower, getting ready for work. They did, they were to come on 3/6... never showed. I called at dark, and was told they rescheduled for 3/9... Never showed up. So, I called and cancelled. Don't know if the job would have been done well, I couldn't get them to show!

    Brenda, we are sorry to hear that you had scheduling complications after you had to reschedule the initial visit and opted to cancel your services. I will notify the branch of the scheduling example to ensure this is not an ongoing issue/ trend in general. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Have a great day!

    I am sick of TruGreen telemarketers trying to upsell Mosquito spraying at this time of year! I have received 4 calls in one month! There are NO mosquitos in SoFlo during the dry season! None in Dec - April. Leave me alone and just do what I signed up for... weed kill! Also don't try to sell "aerating" the lawn. A lawn expert at Home Depot told me that's absurd in South Florida. Totally UNNECESSARY!

    I will never use TruGreen again. Five years ago they treated my lawn. Soon after, about a 1/3 of the front lawn died. When I asked for them to fix my lawn, they responded, made a feeble attempt to repair the lawn. The treatment did not work. When I told them I wasn't going to pay for the service that killed my lawn, they responded by turning the payment over to a collection agency. Rather than go through the hassle of trying to get a satisfactory response, I paid the bill. I have told their reps who continue to come to my house to take me off all lists and never to ring my bell again. They continue to send me flyers and come to the house. I also used their service when they were ChemLawn with similar negative results. I would stay away from this firm.

    I paid, a lot, for a TruComplete Lawn Plan and the Tree and Shrub Care Plan. I had high expectations of their services since it looked like there were great reviews. UNFORTUNATELY, just on the first day, the LAWN technician, a.k.a. Specialist (seriously?), was already cutting corners! Accordingly (and it was also printed on their receipt), he did a Fertilizer, Preemergent, and Broadleaf Weed Control. But what we saw, was just "sprays" on SOME areas of the front and back lawns. Our lawn has weeds all over. All he did was spray on some patches of weeds... I didn't even want to think where the "fertilizer" treatment was with the way he was going. It took him just way, way less than 30 minutes to do the treatments.

    I could have done those "spraying" myself, and would have done a better job! I called TRUGREEN the very next day, early morning, and CANCELED everything. I didn't want to spend a minute more talking with a dishonest company like this. Their site is very misleading. Now, my lawn still has the weeds all over, even on the areas he, apparently, sprayed.

    This company is more interested in increasing business rather than service existing customers. Sales staff walk the neighborhood soliciting new business, but getting regular lawn service care is not a priority. Getting a manager to return a call is a rarity. Scheduling 2 customers in the same block in the same day is not an organized plan. So, one gets serviced, the other customer 2 doors down still waits another week, even when the manager does place a call guaranteeing the date (service tech does not show up).

    I am a new customer. First experience with an application of phosphorous. I catch the tech applying with a bowl, not a spreader. I call for a supervisor who says the guy was warned before, so he himself applies it. He tells me my first treatment will be in 72 hrs. No one shows up for 25 days. When I get my 2nd date of schedule, no one shows up even though my neighbor 2 yards down is serviced. I now am waiting another week for my application. My request for a callback is ignored. I am very disappointed in TruGreen. I'm ready to cancel.

    After battling an illness that nearly cost me my life on two occasions, I was unable to care for my lawn. It had developed dead and bare spots that covered approximately 25% of the yard. I contacted TruGreen and specifically asked them if they were able to restore the bare spots, as that was my primary request. They assured me they could over the phone and also sent out a representative to offer his opinion. Again, I only was concerned with the bare spots and asked for an honest evaluation, if that could be accomplished by TruGreen, otherwise I would hire a landscaping contractor to have the lawn re-sodded. TruGreen said they could salvage the yard, but it would need to be thatched, aerated and over-seeded, all of which I had done. (Aeration was done by a contractor unrelated to TruGreen)

    After the aeration and thatching, TruGreen over-seeded the lawn but it was unsuccessful. I called and complained and TruGreen then came out and attempted a second over-seed. That attempt also failed. Meanwhile I was getting treatment for weeds and fertilization. The lawn did turn green but the bare spots never were filled (lawn was never restored) as promised. I finally called to cancel service but TruGreen insisted I pay their last bill that was sent so me for approximately $50 dollars for fertilization which I refused. I spoke to a customer service rep who was in discussion with a manager about the issue, but TruGreen insisted I still owed them for the service.

    All totaled, I have spent over $800 for TruGreen services and my primary concern, the bare spots, were never fixed. After discussion with a family attorney, I am considering a lawsuit in small claims court to have my money refunded back to me. I have pictures of the lawn and all the invoices for evidence. Also, most businesses these days record telephone conversations, so if I proceed with the lawsuit, I will request a transcript of the initial telephone conversation which clearly requested the bare spots filled in, and nothing more. I feel this company lied to me to get my business and they were unable to restore the lawn as promised. I would never use this business again nor recommend them to anyone.

    My wife call TruGreen Paducah Ky for a quote. I understand she did not accept the quote. We started to get a bill for services. They show a customer number **. We did not pay the bill as she said she didn't know why they had sent a bill as TruGreen had not done anything. The credit bureau sent a collection letter and I contacted them and sent a fax to the Paducah TruGreen office asking to see a signed contract and have the employee who claimed to have sprayed our yard to contact me. I asked for the date of service. To this date 2/21/2017 no one from the Paducah Trugreen office has contacted me.

    Today in the mail I have received another statement showing we owe $154.00. What kind of franchise have gotten that can't prove their services. Our lawn has never had any TruGreen flags that would say it had been sprayed. I'm thinking of taking the Paducah TruGreen office to court to sue for this mistake and get relief for their turning over this alleged charge for services never provided. Their actions could affect our credit rating. We pay legitimate bills for services rendered.

    Paducah TruGreen by choosing not to provide proof of service and continuing to ask for payment is causing us anxiety and worry for this attack on our credit rating. This has hurt our reputation and could cause us to pay higher interest. It is fair to ask for proof of service. I have a hard time trusting TruGreen because of your Paducah office. Of course you must understand that I could never recommend your Paducah office as they won't provide proof of service and have their employee who claimed to have sprayed our yard come by and personally contact us.

Here comes the problem now, they call me almost weekly and try to sell you other services, tree, pesticide. I tell them no, they keep on calling. I finally had enough the business practice, I canceled my account. Guess what, they now call me daily and from all different phone numbers that I could not even block. I will not conduct any business further with TruGreen and I am on do not call list. Please respond with the process to purge all my record with your company so you can COMPLETE stop calling me.

    This review is for the TruGreen based in Albany, NY. When I first signed up with TruGreen it was spring 2015. I was going to sell my home and wanted the lawn to look good. I paid upfront for the full season. TruGreen serviced my lawn about a month later and not too long after that I received a bill. The bill said I owed them money. I had the TruGreen agent's cell phone so I immediately gave him a call. He was very apologetic and got the charges cleared.

    Sometime in the summer I received a called from the Albany branch trying to peddle Japanese Beetle protection. I already put down my own pesticides so I politely declined the offer. The agent on the phone responded "Don't you care about your lawn?" Naturally, I said "Well, yeah" and the agent started scheduling pesticide treatments for my lawn. I had to tell her to stop and the Albany office worker became very rude like I was causing her trouble by not willingly accepting expensive treatments. After hanging up I called my agent to ensure I was not going to receive Japanese Beetle treatments. I also warned him that this was twice I felt like TruGreen was trying to screw me out of money.

    Fall comes along and my lawn care treatments are completed. I do not think my lawn improved much, if at all, due to TruGreen's efforts. I compared pictures from previous years and anyone would be hard-pressed to pick out the year TruGreen treated my lawn. Also in the Fall I sold my house. In November, TruGreen calls up hoping to schedule winter services. I told them that I had to decline because I sold my home and no longer had a lawn to treat. The TruGreen caller said she would make a note of that on my record.

    Throughout the winter I got letters forwarded to my new address asking me to sign up for TruGreen services. I trashed them all, for obvious reasons. Spring of 2016 I received a bill from TruGreen for my old property. Without any authorization on my part they had treated a lawn that was no longer mine and billed me for it. Once again I had to call and get the charges cleared. Once I told my story they were pretty quick to get the bill cleared, I will give them that. I told the customer service representative that I never wanted to hear from TruGreen again. No service will ever be authorized in my name for any property.

    TruGreen called me today, Feb 20th 2017, hoping to treat the lawn I have not owned since fall of 2015. I stopped giving TruGreen the benefit of the doubt. I think it's a shady operation that does everything it can to steal homeowner's money. If you read this far I strongly recommend avoiding this company. They are just like ticks, draining you dry and difficult to get rid of.

    Last year I started TruGreen services with the anticipation of hiring professionals to manage my yard care. Things started out alright as the first applications handled some of the issues (dandelions), but throughout the process one issue became worse as the year went on. I thought it was 'creeping charlie' and was not told otherwise by any of the TruGreen 'specialists' (the service letters after a visit did not mention any issue either). I travel for work and was not able to consistently check the quality of the weeds after each application, but did make a few additional services requests as the problem never seemed to get resolved.

    Finally, I called in and informed them whatever they are doing was not working and that I would like to talk with a manager. It was about 3-4 weeks before a manager contacted me (I had to call back in and request again). This manager was able to get to my house quickly and immediately informed the issue was 'wild violets' and that it can be a difficult item to control and will require more applications to get it in control. Status of yard at the end of the services: Front Yard - Better, not great Back Yard - Wild Violet spread and the yard looks worse than before TruGreen as the violet seems to kill off the grass as it spreads.

    I called in to express my disappointment with the services as I had not been informed of this issue and no information or solution had been provided. I do not understand how this growing problem was missed through my 8 applications if I had 'specialists' coming to do them. I informed them I would not have had an issue if the 'wild violets' had been addressed by ANY of their 'specialists' (again not a single service letter acknowledged the problem). To reconcile the issue I was offered 2 free applications. I explained how half of my yard has somewhat improved and the other half has gotten worse which means, at a maximum, I got half of what I paid for and should be compensated for the missing half. I was told the chemicals are costly and that 2 was the best they could do. I accepted this as it was the best they said they could offer and informed them I will probably be taking my business elsewhere.

    The story above is at the end of last year. Just recently I received a call asking about prepaying for this upcoming year. I had not gotten any information of what was determined for the 2 free applications discussed (the representative on the call did not know either). After some research they told me one of the applications at the end of the year had been refunded. I checked my account and show no such credit nor was there on my bank account for the day they said it occurred. I have now requested the 2 applications discussed as a refund and to cancel my account.

    To recap: No TruGreen 'specialist' who came for the applications was able to diagnose the issue. Poor communication to get me in contact with a manager. Once the issue had been diagnosed was informed I would need additional applications after paying for a full year of unsuccessful applications. Was told they could only provide up to 2 services refunded for the issue, even though there could have been a different plan put in place if it had been diagnosed earlier. Back yard looks worse than before TruGreen. The wild violet has spread and has encroached on areas that had nice grass. Apparently had a refund that I was given no notice or record of. I paid for professionals, I did not get what I paid for. Please see attached images for how my yard looked at the end of my TruGreen Services.

    Signed up for TruGreen after someone knocked on my door. Paid about $350 for 1 year of service. After 1 year of service I was not sold on the program simply because my yard looked the same as when I didn't have their service. I attempted to cancel but was told I owed 2 additional months even though they had not serviced my yard since the last month on the contract. I argued for weeks and finally agreed to pay for one more year of service and they would remove the old balance (which I really paid because I signed up for another year.)

    It's now been 2 years and the yard looks the same. They call me every month and try to upsell me something and it's very annoying, so today I canceled and was told I owe for 1 month and for 1 tree service. At this point, I just paid for it and canceled. Not worth arguing over. But for the recorded THEY DIDN'T SERVICE MY YARD for the additional month and I NEVER AUTHORIZED ANY TREE SERVICE. I would choose another provider if I were you!!! I am going to try Massey Services this year. My neighbors use them and their yard looks a lot nicer!!

    This is a review about TruGreen South Plainfield, Store #5910, 117 Corporate Blvd. South Plainfield, NJ 07080. Phone: 9087552795. I had service with them. I moved out of the property that they were providing service. I did not inform them that I was moving out. But they continued service which they should *not* have without me authorising it and without me paying upfront. They ended up reporting past due to a collection agency which was uncalled for. Why would they provide a service without me authorising and paying upfront? Who's to say what kind of so-called services they provided? I recall calling them before the season every time and paying upfront. I don't know what happened this time and how I could be past due for unauthorised service.

    The receptionist I spoke to about this on February 8th, 2017 was very unhelpful, rude, and provided no explanation why a service was provided without my authorisation/upfront payment but only kept repeating that I should have cancelled before I left the property. If I can help it, I'll never, ever, sign up with TruGreen again, especially the one at the address above. Hope my experience helps someone beware.

    Good morning Raj Jayabalan, I apologize if there was any confusion in regards to your services, I know that can be concerning. When you became a customer of TruGreen it was stated in your service agreement that all services are continuous. In the continuous service clause it states that we will service your property unless you call and inform TruGreen that you no longer want services. Also, this clause means that each year we will service your property and you do not have to give verbal consent for us to continue to service your property. In addition, paying upfront is not required; it is a chance for customers to save money on their services for the upcoming season.- Ashley

Several months later and after 3 treatments, my lawn still looks the same as it did when I first agreed to the service. Nonetheless, I just receive a call from the sales team telling me that the last time the technician serviced my yard he noticed there were fire ants, in my yard and for $125.00 they will treat for them.

    I have owned multiple properties in South Florida over the past 30 years and know firsthand what fire ants & their mounds look like and how they feel when they bite! When I told her she was wrong, "I have ants but they are NOT fire ants", she quickly corrected herself to let me know the technician found fire ants in the neighborhood and they fly up to 10 miles and I should take the service as a preventive measure. I find this deceptive and a dishonest way of doing business. I have elderly parents & grandparents who would have paid for this service instead of other necessities in fear that they would be attacked by fire ants in their own home.

What took so long? I also was billed for more frequent lawn services than I was originally told was required. Others when I was never notified via phone that they were coming. No ticket was ever left on the door, and I was nevertheless billed. They were also requested to not come before 8 am, and have arrived at 7 while I'm on conference calls working from home. I've called no less than 5 times to resolve these problems and sadly it's a case of big company, local office. They only do the minimum and are otherwise ambivalent.

    We had dead spots in our yard and were told it was due to lack of sun and lots of trees. TruGreen listened and fixed the problems that were not due to lack of sunlight. The TruGreen specialist came by several times to check to see if the treatment was working and constantly stayed in touch even though we were not home.

    We have received a bill from TruGreen which isn't a service we agreed to have. It shows two charges listed as 8/27/16, 9/27/16 $72.62 for each month, total of $145.24. We had contacted TruGreen in the early spring of 2016, inquiring about service for our home's yard. We explained to the person who answered what we were wanting; service on a monthly as needed basis. That our home was up for sale and we didn't want to be obligated to a contract for the whole season, in case if it sold. We were assured that wouldn't be a problem, that someone would call us, and we could call back if we didn't want them to come.

    My husband was home one afternoon and a truck pulled up with a technician. He began to spray our yard. My husband went out and told him to stop, that we didn't want them to spray the yard, to let whoever in their office know this. I called the next day and explained again that we would confirm if we wanted them to spray, that we had the house for sale and now had an offer on it. The person I spoke to said, ok. We did sell the house and thought it was fine, until we then received a bill for the service. My husband called and spoke with the same woman I did or another woman in this office. She argued with him about the bill, saying that because we'd had them come, we had implied that we wanted service and we're obligated to pay them. He kept explaining what we'd agreed for initially. He then told her we'd pay half of the initial amount to just be done with the whole problem.

    Now we've received a bill for that amount and then next month--after we had already moved (house was sold). We have called the phone number on the bill we've gotten with our forwarded mail, to try to figure out what is going on, with no luck. It goes to an automated recording, telling you to wait, that all operators are busy, then you wait for awhile and it hangs up on you. We are going to have no recourse, but to contact our lawyer. We feel we were lied to, that we are being pressured into paying a bill which services were not agreed. TruGreen should not treat customers this way and have such poor managers, business practices. If I were a prospective customer? I would run the other way as quickly as possible!

    Hello Hua, my name is Karissa and I am the social media coordinator for the corporate office. We are truly sorry to see that you are concerned that you had issues with billing that were in essence left unresolved, we can understand why that is concerning for you. In reviewing your account I noticed a few things on your program 7RND+GRUB+AER/OVRSEED:

    1) Your Lawn Services were $600.6 before the 10% pp dsc (-60.06)=$540.54. Your account shows as having made a lump sum payment of $490.15. In order to have the prepay discount, the full amount must be paid. Therefore in your case, your applications remained $29.95 for the first application, $55.95 for the remaining 7, and $179 for the aeration.

    2) 6 of your 8 lawn applications were completed (That's 1 for $29.95+ 5 ($55.95)=$309.7

    3)Aeration was completed 9/24= $179.00

    4) When you combine the sum of, 3) and 4) above... it is a total of $488.70. You paid a lump sum in August of $490.15.

    5) Fertilizer/Weed control applications are completed every 4-6 weeks.

    6) Expanded services such as the grub and the aeration can be completed the same day as a fertilizer, as listed on you welcome aboard letter, since the two do not counteract. If they're not done on the same day, the two can still be completed within the 4-6 week intervals of the fertilizers.

    We had high hopes based on the initial sales people ensuring that they would achieve better than sod results for less money. The company's first mistake was applying crabgrass preventer too late. By early summer, we had a patchy lawn of healthy, green crabgrass with several bare spots that turned to mud when we watered in the fertilizer treatments. The company doesn't apply any seed until fall, so our lawn looked bad all season despite our regular watering to combat the drought and encourage any already existent grass to flourish. When it was time to aerate and seed, the tech skipped seeding about one third of our lawn, and we experienced a low germination rate from the rest of the seed even though we followed care instructions.

    After all this, we received a notice of renewal of our service plan. When I called to cancel that, the phone rep talked me into signing up to have a manager call me. The manager was supposed to make an appt with me to come out and see what could be done to remedy our lawn. Today, weeks after my call to customer service, I had heard nothing from any manager or any other rep of the company, but a tech pulled up and sprinkled on more fertilizer. He left a note that said he'd knocked although he didn't. I contacted the company again via their online contact form about the situation and received only a voice mail confirming my account was now cancelled. So much for satisfaction guarantee. I wish we had just chosen sod in the first place.

    I purchased TruGreen services for my husband's Father's Day gift. The first time they were supposed to come out, they didn't. I called customer service, and they had someone come out a couple days later, a tech who explained that the previous tech was known for saying he completed jobs that he didn't. A couple months into our contract, my husband was out of work from an injury so I called to cancel our service. Customer service graciously offered to waive our treatment fees for the last two treatments of the year, which was definitely above & beyond my expectations... However, they did not come out for the last treatment of the season after saying they would. Not sure if I'll be renewing our contract next year.

    While I believe TruGreen is overall a good company, my limited experience has given me mixed feelings. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they didn't show up for 2 of 5 treatments this year. While customer service went above & beyond my expectations, the actual treatment itself was mediocre. The weeds in the front yard ARE mostly gone, but I think I'd prefer to pay a service that I can rely on to show up.

After dozens of calls they agreed to refund my last two applications of the season. I still had to keep on them as nothing was ever done - I have spent hours on the phone - placed on hold - disconnected on - I just wanted my lawn done. My front lawn looked great, but I have heard from many people that the applicators they hire just don't care and short change the customers by not doing what they are supposed to do.

    We used TruGreen for several years without problem until this past 2016 summer. They continued to place chemical treatment on our lawn and failed to detect major fungus growth that ruined our lawn. Other neighbors next us (either using competitor services or in some cases no service at all) had beautiful lawns with the exception of ours. After I called to complain (which was a protracted event to have someone call back) they continued to treat the lawn with their program chemicals when the problem of "brown patch" disease was decimating our lawn. Ultimately we had to secure the services of another local lawn company to re-seed the lawn at our expense. TruGreen billing department is detached and has no consideration for the consumer. Service response was lousy and ineffective. We are done and moving onto a local service who cares about customer relationship and results.

    From the the very first contact, I felt uneasy. The person wanted my credit card almost immediately and I explained I prefer to talk to someone in person at my property. I wanted to be able to point out issues with my lawn and discuss them with someone knowledgeable. They did send someone but this guy didn't seem all that knowledgeable but did walk the property with me. We discussed what was needed and I agreed to start the service. He told me there would be 5 visits to my property and told me the cost and wanted my credit card. I complied and watched him write down my cc number and expiration date. I guess they are not very technologically advanced. I asked him about this and all he could offer was; I will get a receipt later. Needless to say, I was feeling a bit uneasy but he already had my cc info so I let it go.

    From the very beginning I started getting phone calls trying to sell me additional services. Some of the people calling were borderline rude. One wanted to sell me some insect control because he found spider mites in the trees. He was very pushy but eventually I got him to agree to meet me on my property to show me the evidence before I would shell out any more money. I should have known but I gave him the benefit of doubt. He never showed up. This is bad enough but to make it worse, I actually had to take time off work to meet him. Again, not too happy about this. When I talked to TruGreen, all they could say was "sorry". Even though I found out later I did not have to pay for all the treatment up front, I continued to the end of the year.

    Now that the season is over and all treatments have been applied, I canceled the service. This is another disappointing conversation. When I called and asked to cancel my service the person on the phone insisted on asking why I was canceling. I was in a hurry and didn't want to explain all this at that time. The person ended up hanging up on me so I called back. I got a different person but she was able to confirm there was a cancellation order for my account. I ask for a confirmation number and was told they don't have them but I could have her employee number instead. I took down the number and hoping for the best. During one of the calls I ask them to take me off their email list and they supposedly complied. As of now I'm still getting emails so my best guess is they are instructed to agree to remove email addresses but really have no way to do it. Overall I was quite disappointed in the services and would never ask them back.

    Today I canceled the TruGreen service that I have had for two years. I always had a bit of trouble scheduling the service (didn't want chemicals going down while the lawn cutters were there, or during periods of intense drought), but this was the last straw. I asked for the latest possible final treatment of the year, as I needed to clear the lawn of leaves. I was scheduled for Dec. 5. On Nov. 21 the automated "Trudy" told me the serviceman would be there Nov. 23. I called Customer Service to remind them that I was expecting service on Dec. 5. On Nov. 30, a serviceman appeared (in a pouring rain) to do the last treatment. I canceled it and told him that I wanted my service canceled entirely. On Dec. 2, a serviceman came while I was at work and did the service anyway.

    This summer, a TruGreen agent toured my yard (again while I was at work, and without my permission) and left me a note outlining all the insect pests I had (including psyllids on some boxwood shrubs that had been installed just two weeks earlier), and offering the company's services to eradicate them. To me, that's not an upsell. That's trespassing. And lying, since I had the landscaper back to inspect the boxwood shrubs and he found no evidence of psyllids. I might excuse more of this if my lawn looked appreciably better, but it doesn't.

Even after escalation, manager still never called back. Our case was mysteriously closed before a manager ever called us to resolve issue. Still trying to get a refund.

When I mentioned lawsuit, the manager offered to come to my home and spray additional chemicals. They did not offer to neutralize or clean the chemical contamination or compensate me for doing so. When I mentioned suing for damages, he said they have many lawyers ready. Bottom line: these folks have no respect for property rights or threatening the health of their victims.

    TruGreen serviced my lawn for 6 months. I maintained their recommend watering and lawn mowing schedule and wondered why my lawn progressively worsened as others in the neighborhood improved. It even became embarrassing to see their service tag on my lawn because it let my neighbors know I was paying to have my yard look like crap.

    I complained several times about some of their treatment as I noticed some of lawn never improved, and then I decided to stay home to secretly observe a scheduled treatment. They did not "knock" as they claim each treatment, they only fertilized 2/3 of my lawn and excluded the problem areas, and at the blink of an eye the tech was left. I immediately complained and a tech returned a week later.

    I experienced poor communication which delayed my aeration and seeding by 3 weeks. When they finally aerated the yard, again only 2/3 was treated. I couldn't trust them to do the work they were paid to do, so I use a different service now. As I shared my experience with my neighbors, several said they had similar experiences with TruGreen. When I canceled my service, I provided details on why I was canceling and of course there was no follow-up. My suggestion to you is to do your research before choosing TruGreen, inspect everything they do and don't expect flexibility on their lawn applications. As for me, I don't trust them.

Your account reflects that you enrolled in services in July, this is a season when crabgrass and dallisgrass are their most matured.

    After fighting weeds for the first two years of my new lawn, I decided to let professionals do it and called TruGreen. A sales rep came out and looked at my lawn and told me that they would do a soil analysis and treat it accordingly. I signed and paid up front. The soil analysis was never done and was told that most of the lawns in my area had much of the same problems and were treated the same way. OK, I bought into it. I was home for some of the treatments and watched what they were doing. It's when you aren't at home or they think you aren't, is where I have the issues. I have suspected that the job was lacking after I found a door hanger saying that pot ash was spread in granular form but no signs of it on one treatment. Weed control was put down while it was raining and didn't stop for 2 days and other questionable service.

    This morning my doorbell rang, so I got off of the couch and looked out the window to see the tech. walking back to his truck. By the time I walked 30 feet to a bedroom to put on a pair of short and opened the door, the tech was already reeling up his hose. I asked how he could spray potash, simazine, MCPA, Dicamba and Vanquish (as noted on my receipt) on 2000 square feet in less time that it takes to slip on a pair of short and get to the door. He said it was their sprayer that could spray as fast as he could walk. I called B.S. and called the toll free number and the person on the phone tried to defend him. The tech also noted that he had 30 treatments to do today, you do the math.

They were out on 9/9/16 and nothing was noted as an issue but on 9/22/16, I received a call from my landscaper telling me my shrubs had Ficus White Fly. I called TruGreen that day and they said someone would be out the next day. They did not come out until 10/5/16, per their records to treat for insects and fungus.

    I received no call further about the issue. I was here on 11/8/16 when they came again and they did not speak to me about the issue at all or tell me about the fungus on my palm tree. They were in and out so fast, I did even see them. On 11/11/16, my landscaper let me know one of the palm trees had fungus on it and it would need to be removed. All of the shrubs which now had very few leaves, it would take 3 years to get them back. I called TruGreen on 11/11/16 and was promised that the manager would call me back, I called on 11/14/16, and they said give them till Tuesday (11/15). Tuesday came and went and nothing. I called on Wednesday and they "said someone tried to call you yesterday and you didn't answer."

    I said, "I am looking at my cellphone and no one called me other than my sister 2x's and my daughter." They promised someone else would call me that day. They didn't. I called the national headquarters and said, I'm not getting anywhere with the local. They resent me down to the local branch twice more. Then on 11/17 after calling again to both the local and the national headquarter, the national service agent gave me another national number and said to call. I said "who am I asking for?" They said "I don't know who to tell you to talk to?" So don't you have a national review program to understand when a local contractor is performing poorly? Why would you have them service me when they have such poor 14 reviews I can see all 2/5 stars - all with the same issue!!!

The grass has filled in empty spaces with fertilization. He is courteous and remembers to knock on the door and ring the doorbell before he starts the application so if I have any questions I can get them answered. My lawn looks great. Thanks to his work and his giving me tips on improving the lawnmower height, etc. He puts the TruGreen markers on my grass to advertise the great work he does!

    If I could give them a minus five stars, I would. For the past 10 years I have been doing the lawn care myself. This year I hired TruGreen. At the end of the year, my lawn was terrible shape. It is in the worst condition that I have ever seen. Four calls to TruGreen to request someone to come and inspect went unanswered. No one returned my calls. No one came to inspect my lawn. My conclusion is that TruGreen makes many claims and promises, however they keep very few. I could go on and on how TruGreen failed, but I will just say do your own homework. Read the negative reviews on this site and other sites, then decided if TruGreen is a good company for you. I failed to do my homework and feel that I flushed my money down the drain.

    Updated on 2/27/2017: In my Nov 7 review, I mentioned TruGreen did my lawn for 2016. At the end of the year my lawn was in terrible condition. I called and canceled the service. Since I terminated the service, I assumed I would never hear or have to deal with TruGreen again. I was wrong. This Spring TruGreen called me 4 times asking if they can come out and do my lawn again for 2017.

    The last phone conversation is interesting because it gives some insight into TruGreen. TruGreen - "Mr ** we would like to come out and do your lawn this year." Me - "Last year you left me with a lawn in terrible condition, why should I have you back?" TruGreen - "We had a lot of bad people working for us last year. We have cleared them out and they are no longer here. Me - "OK, assuming employees are gone, have you changed the formulations of your sprays?" TruGreen - "The applications are the same." Me - "If the applications gave me a terrible lawn last year, why would there be different this year?" TruGreen never answered just a hangup.

    I do not believe that TruGreen had a lot of bad people working for them. Last year they told me that Victor (tech who sprayed my yard) was one of the best employees in their system. This year he is the reason for the poor condition of my yard. If you dig back in this site, you will find stories of people who canceled and got talked back into service a second year with TruGreen. The service was just as bad the second year.

    Once again, I will tell you to make up your own mind. Read the negative reviews on this site and then decide if TruGreen would be a good lawn care provider for you. I found their lawn care and customer service to both be very poor. I know TruGreen reads this site and I would to request TruGreen place my phone number on their "do not call" list.

    I alerted Trugreen about the brown patches in my lawn in June. The response was it needed time for the fertilizer to take effect. Then in July, I asked the tech to call me, he said the brown patches were from lack of water. So I watered it a lot. I thought both these guys were clueless but I figured that's what they do so maybe they were correct. After about 40% of my lawn looked dead, I had a supervisor come out and he said it was a fungus and he would get it treated and the technicians would learn from this what brown patch was. Of course I did get a $300 water bill from the city. After a month, it still looked horrible.

    I had another appointment for fungus treatment, which was postponed for a week. When they came out the following week, they put in a sign that they came out but did not do any treatment. SO my lawn was ruined. After numerous phone calls to the supervisor's cell, the corporate office in Memphis and the local office, I never received a return call. I called AMEX to reverse all the charges. I am in collection now. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

After 2 hours I called them back only to get an excuse of how their routes worked and I should have never been given a guarantee that they would be here early. When I got home the note on the door said the brown spots were from a different type of grass and I should try seeding to crowd out the weeds.

    TruGreen isn't that what I hired you to do? I didn't hire you to monitor my grass and report back at the end of the year. I hired you to treat my lawn, get rid of weeds & get rid of the fleas in the yard. Last year - according to your own tech - you were spraying the wrong treatment to get rid of fleas. That was supposedly corrected, but here we are again this year with the same problem. Unacceptable customer service. The tech showed up at 2:45 & left at 2:48 (per the ticket left).

    My wife decided to hire Tru-Green as a gift to me; hoping to give me a break from having to keep up with all of the various applications throughout the season and in hopes that any problem areas we might have had could be corrected. When we first signed up my wife had requested that the technician servicing our property make it a point to knock on the door so she could meet him and go over our concerns; that never happened. Then we noticed the technician had applied treatments on a day where it rained; a wasted treatment. My wife called to find out what was going to be done about it and was told she had to wait 10 days after the treatment and then call back. Why? Don't you realize your treatment just got washed away and you should make it a point to return?

    On one call that my wife made she discovered that the technician had applied one treatment that was supposed to be watered in and another that was not, at the same time. Are you kidding me? There are areas of the lawn that are burned to the point that the area will never recover without removal of the dead grass and re-seeding or sod. Lastly, we were scheduled to have the lawn aerated and overseeded. First appointment had to be canceled due to weather but we were never informed of the new date until we called to inquire. Technician didn't show up for the second appointment; again not call explaining why or informing us of the new date. The latest aeration date was this past Monday 10/17. Technician had not arrived by 4:45pm so my wife called to check on his whereabouts and was informed that we were still on his schedule and he would be there that day. Guess what? He never showed.

    When he didn't show the following day my wife called again to complain; a message was left on our machine from Tom stating he had received a message to call her but he was unaware of the service she was inquiring about and that she should call him back. Using the directory on the phone I tried returning Tom's call but the number was Tru-Green's recruiting number... You can leave a message on that number but when you call their number for service issues you cannot. So I called the recruiting number again and left an angry message hoping it would cause someone to call me back the next day.

    The following day I hadn't heard from anyone so I called their customer service number during my lunch break. Spoke to a woman who informed me that my new aeration day was 10/29; 12 days after the missed visit. I was not happy about that and told her I wanted to speak to someone. She took my information and assured me that she'd escalate the situation to the area manager and that he'd be contacting me within 24 hrs.

    Well 24 hrs pass and no call so I call the customer service line once more. This time I am connected with Tom from the local branch who informed me that he had just spoken to my wife and the aeration has now been scheduled for Monday or Tuesday (10/24 or 10/25). Still not thrilled about the new date and even less thrilled that someone called my home when I distinctly requested that someone contact me on my cell phone because I wanted to speak to someone. I informed Tom that while I appreciate that the aeration has been moved up from the 29th, I would still like to speak to the area manager. Tom took my information once more and told me he would pass it along. I have yet to hear from anyone. The service I have received from this company is horrendous and I would never recommend them to anyone.

    I had signed up for lawn service with Scotts in January 2016 since I wanted weed control of my yard. Since I want to minimize trouble of making sure I paid bills every month, I paid $384.75 for the whole year. They did a good job of weed control, but every time they would leave an invoice to pay a certain amount at my door. First three times when I got the invoice, I called them up to ask why am I getting invoices even though I prepaid for whole year. They would check the records and tell me I am good and I can ignore the invoice. My requests to them to stop leaving invoice at my door since it confuses me and cause me additional follow up work, went unheeded. So I told them the third time that I am going to ignore their invoices till end of the year, until I have to renew their services again.

    Mid 2016 Scotts was bought over by Trugreen. Later half of 2016 I started getting past due notice and late fees in my invoices. So I called them and explained that I have paid till December 2016. I continued to get past due invoices and phone calls from them and I continued to repeat my explanation each time. Recently they explained to me that my prepay was for lawn services, but my current outstanding amount is for trees and shrubs, and fungicide treatment that they did on my lawn. I had never signed up for it, but my account it seems was showing I have signed up for it. I am very frustrated but I am still trying to explain that I haven't asked for any additional service since the prepay.

We started out agreeing to an area to be serviced over the phone using Google Maps, they pulled up on my address. After the first few treatments and $1,200 later it became apparent that they were not treating the area we agreed to. Slowly the weeds took over during the summer and then the sod webworms took over and killed a large part of my lawn. Now we are going to have to kill part of our lawn due to the sedges weed that started shortly after their servicing of our yards. Yes I called them to complain but the manager would stop by, look at the yard, when I was not home, and leave me a message denying the existence of webworm moths or a weed problem.

The service manager of the Danbury office visited and inspected our lawn and trees and he said about the lawn "if we have been doing the job, it shouldn't look like that!!" He also promised to send an expert to check out the trees and why they started to die after they treated them. The expert visit never happened. Our lawn is full of weeds and crabgrass, our trees are dying and despite repeated calls, they don't care to call back... I have sent an email which the office manager acknowledged and said that she gave it to the service manager who will call us... the same one who inspected the lawn. One week later, tried to call again and were promised he will call but no calls...

    I contacted TruGreen accounting department twice in hope that they can help... On both occasions, they indicated that they will send the complaint to higher-ups and will be in touch... days go by and no calls... Today, I spoke with accounting again and was told that she has a note that the office tried to call 3 times but couldn't leave a message... we inspected our phone and they never called nor tried to leave a message (everyone else can leave messages)! This company should be ashamed of lying and cheating customers! They don't treat lawns but they want to be paid for no work!!! How can they get away with such crimes???

    Prior to TruGreen taking over Scotts lawn service, Scotts treated our lawn for close to 10 years. Prior to this year, we didn't inspect the lawn very close so, we don't know if this has been ongoing for the last years or started this year.

    I signed up for this service to perfect our already good lawn. The sales representative was very knowledgeable about lawns, unfortunately not knowledgeable about how they do business. I explained that I had had previous bad experiences with other companies doing the same thing and that if they were unable to work the way I needed then it would not be a good fit. I was assured that someone would call me to arrange a time for the aeration and in turn for the treatments. The reason this was important is that the aeration is yearly and needed to be done after the grass was cut to get the full benefit. I was very disappointed to receive a recorded phone call telling me when it would be, which was the same day the lawn guy comes round. I tried to call up, and to add insult to injury, I had to hang up at 12 minutes waiting, as I have a job.

    I managed to get back through to the sales departments and demanded to speak to a manager, and after being fobbed off by his associate, I did feel I was getting somewhere. He reassured me that he'd call the branch, cancel the aeration and have them call me to discuss suitable times. He called me back to confirm this. Next morning, no call from the branch, yet the technicians turned up to aerate, and add chemicals to the lawn. This was a complete waste as it was being moved later on. This time I completed a contact form on their website threatening to leave. 24 hours later someone called me. I explained the situation again and was once again assured that remedial action would be taken and that someone from the branch would call me. No call.

    The icing on the cake is the letter I've received today tell me that I am on Pay as you go, and that I'll be charged after each service. I have paid a year upfront, nearly $1000. I called up again and after an 8 minute wait, I cancelled my account. I'll only be refunded part of it as this rip-off company will keep the discount I got for prepaying, and for the useless chemicals. The rep on the phone offered me 25% off my remaining services to which I replied, "I don't believe you will ever return calls when you're supposed to which means it would be no use to me completely free." From my 1 week experience of this company, and the time I've spent on the phone trying to get them to do what they said they would, I would most strongly advise against signing up with them.

I called and had to beg for my money back since they decided to do double services per month and finish it early. I called to cancel them almost 2 months ago and they are still harassing me 4 times a day with blank voicemails. I have asked to be removed from their calling list twice now and still getting multiple calls per day! I hate them for everything they are worth and lied to me on several situations during service with them as well. If there were zero or negative stars, I would give it all day!!

    I have security cameras installed on my property and today TruGreen was scheduled to treat my yard and I wanted to see what exactly I am paying $51.00 a month for and I am NOT HAPPY AT ALL. Please discontinue my service and reimburse us for the remainder of visits we already paid for. Today I observed the technician arrive at my property at 8:32 A.M. and departed at 8:38 - a total of 6 minutes with 1 of those minutes spent knocking on my front door. He went to his truck, extended the hose to the backyard, looked over the fence and returned to his truck.

    He retraced the hose and didn't even look at my front or sides of my yard AND LEFT! This made me furious so I went back and reviewed security tapes for past treatments. The technician did not treat my backyard or sides on 07/25 or 06/22 and sparingly sprayed any fertilizer/weed control on my front yard of my lawn both of those visits. He last treated my backyard on 05/11/2016 - the first visit. This probably explains why my yard is no different than when I was treating it myself.

    Is this how you do business? If the homeowner is not looking you cut corners? I have the video to prove my dissatisfaction not only from today's service but from services rendered in the past. I guarantee this survey will never be posted on Customer Reviews. However I will be posting it on all my social media blogs to raise awareness. Your company has really disappointed me and I have lost trust in TruGreen. I would rather pay more for good service than save 12.00 and use your company.

    I have prepaid to TruGreen for lawn service 2016 and the results are disaster: Weeds are all over the lawn. The whole lawn has many dead grass patches large and small - obviously the technician is not applying the chemical uniformly and some areas did not get it, and others getting too much so the grass got killed. We are trying to get the service manager on the site who never did show up. The last technician finally agree to meet us since we insisted to meet them so we can show the problem. The technician had agreed that they did not do the job from the day one: No weeds control done and that is why all kinds of the weeds grow perfectly in my lawn.

    Now my whole lawn is destroyed with half dead of grasses killed by the chemicals and another half is full of the different kinds of weeds. I have taken many pictures today (Aug. 28, 2016) but could not attached here because of the size of the pictures. If there is any way to post them, I will do that.

    I signed up for the service and paid nearly $600 upfront. After nearly 5 months of service, my lawn is still covered in weeds and is brown in color. I've contacted them multiple times about the issues as they have a "guarantee" for their service. A manager came out last week and stated that it was an easy fix. The lawn needed nitrogen. I received the general electronic call that a lawn care specialist would be here Tuesday for treatment. I was here all day and they never showed up. This has happened multiple times over the course of the treatment. When a technician does show up for an appointment, they leave a flag in the front yard and a followup email. I received neither. I contacted TruGreen and the agents (who are always friendly) said the technician left a note that the service was completed. In my opinion, this service is a fraud.

    I am sharing my experience because I feel integrity is just as important as customer service. I experienced what I suspected on a prior yard application, the work was never done, the reason I say this is because no flags were put in the lawn indicating the specialist had completed the applications and no bell was rung. I also experienced a similar incident recently. I had called a few days earlier to inform TruGreen that although I did not see any sign of crabgrass in my lawn which was good, but I could clearly see crabgrass along the borders of both my front and back lawn. The Customer Rep indicated they would notate my account as such and send someone out to redo the application on the next visit which was yesterday.

    Well, I was home on that next visit, cooking breakfast looking out my kitchen window with the backdoor slightly opened, I noticed a specialist coming from my backyard on the far south side of my property by the garage with nothing in his hands, which indicated to me he wasn't applying anything. He didn't put a sign in the backyard, nor was the work done because I would have clearly noticed him on my property working during that time. Another reason he was suspect of not doing the job is that it was raining. I immediately went to the front door to talk with him but before I could get the door unlock he jumped in his truck and drove off.

    I finally made contact with customer service and they informed me the specialist would give me a call, well that call never came. I also asked the customer representative "do Specialist apply applications in the rain?" Her response was, "not for weeds" but on his work slip he indicated he treated my lawn for broadleaf weeds and applied fertilizer to thicken the lawn. He placed a sign in my front yard near where his truck was parked. This is the second incident for me which I did not get the service. My time is valuable, so if I have to keep calling you back out to do what should have been done, that's a clear indication to me someone else should be doing the job.

    I think as a business person myself that I should not expect payment for service that I did not deliver. This not the case for TruGreen Lawn Care. Each time they said they fertilized my lawn the following week there would be more weeds on my lawn than any other neighbour - this is really odd because my lawn was always one of the 'best kept' in the neighbourhood. I called the company several times to complain - they would always come when no one is there - and leave another bill. It was clear to me that they were not doing anything, just leaving a sign and a bill.

    The neighbours began asking what was going on with my lawn - when I told them I had hired a company to take care of it - they laughed. OMG - what a mess! This company has no integrity and what they are doing truly amounts to fraud. They have sent me a demand letter requesting I pay $248.89. I told them I have no problem paying - just need them to deliver they service they promised. See the pictures taken just 2 days ago, mine and my neighbours

My husband did call and they said someone would be out and someone did come out but just did the exact same thing they always do or say they do, treat for chinch bugs.

    First time TruGreen came, a strong chemical was used in the driveways which eliminated all of the weeds. Monthly applications afterwards, weaker chemicals were used and chemicals were only used on detected weeds. When I complained, TruGreen Representative responded if we paid more money, they could use a stronger chemical. I paid for a six month service in advance. I was never told that if I wanted total control of weeds, I would have to pay extra. Representative was not cordial to me. Very disappointed in the service I have received.

    We subscribe to TruGreen on a case to case basis... means to us... we pay as a service or treatment is applied. We have very unfortunate experience every time they applied, so far about five times. We only saw the supposed "specialist" once. Their receipts always says: "I knocked on your door today, sorry I missed you." We have a door bell and we always try to see who is coming. One time we heard a bell, but before we can see the guy, he was already done without seeing him and even observed what he was doing. We wanted to show him some concern on weed control that was not effective but how, when we cannot talk to the guy? We called his office and thankfully came back. But he was mad, and told us he has 200+ customer and he don't have time to hear any complains.

    Let me just say, that he gave us a discriminating looks, as if he was marking us ** you. I really don't know his name but we have all the receipts and names on those " Specialist". On the last application, 8/12/16, Friday, this is our narrative: TruGreen's specialist again, applied a treatment, without alerting us they were going to do some treatment. Same note "I knocked on your door, Sorry I missed you". It was important for us to see him because we have some issues we need him to know. (By the way I was at home all day and have not hear any sound of my door bell.) My lawn was not cut, 5-6" tall, because the weather on this week (8/7/2016 was extremely hot, 90°F +). The temperature on this day was 89-90°F, with winds 10-18 mph. The receipt was not factual, temp., 76°F, wind: 6 mph. Do you really apply fertilizers on a very hot day and tall grass?

    There are areas of my lawn where weed has propagated, and areas that appeared to have not been applied any fertilizer (section of lawn adjoining the retention area). We have emphasized this in the beginning as a part of our lawn, and was understood then. If only the Specialist has the courtesy to see us and aware of the issues, if he is really an "specialist" which I doubt, then we could have said a selected a good outfit to say the least. Your leaflets says "certified lawn specialist and has just performed a tailored service". This seems to be a hollow promise. To be specific, my service is done from this address: TruGreen, Naperville, IL., 14405 Route 59, Plainfield, Il. 60544, (815) 439-0469.

    I spent the beginning of the week pulling weeds and trying to straighten out my yard with my son. After spending a week out of town, it is impressive what can grown in that time. With amazing timing Bill from Truegreen showed up yesterday 6/8/16 and asked to talk about my lawn care needs. What perfect timing that Bill had. Since I was busy with dinner and my honey-do list, I asked him if tomorrow would work. He suggested 1pm and I agreed. I used this site to find out more about Trugreen. I noticed the biggest complaint was the lack of follow through or doing what they say they will.

    Today, 1pm passes and yet no Bill. At 4pm when I'm in the middle of a conference call, he finally shows up. No apology, no explanation, he just wants to get to business and probably move on. Talk about disrespectful and rude. No consideration for my time or respect for me as a potential customer. I have to fight with my 12 year old now and again over respect and follow-up. Since I am not responsible for or raising Bill I would not expect I should have to help teach him about respect and responsibility. I then explain to him why I am no longer interested as it seems in Yankton, SD the status quo for customer relations has not improved beyond what is listed in this website. I suppose I will look for another care provider and stop by my local Ace Hardware and ask for their advice and consider doing it myself. It is unfortunate as this was almost a guaranteed sale for him after the start of the week I had.

    True Green should be True Brown and weeds. First of all no one from TruGreen comes out and inspects your Lawn to give a customized plan for your lawn. They also treat an entire lawn in about the span of 4 minutes. I continued to have weeds. On my fifth application I come home and see the same guy who always treated my lawn spraying my neighbor's lawn. I thought maybe my neighbors purchased the service and walked over to ask the technician if he was spraying mine next. He realized at that minute he was spraying the wrong lawn. Without finishing my neighbor's lawn he stopped immediately and started spraying mine leaving my neighbors half treated. He took around 3 minutes on my lawn.

    The next day I came home and noticed 2 very large dead areas of grasses and 5 small areas of dead grass. I mean completely DEAD. I have called numerous times and am always told someone will come out and take care of the dead grass. It has been 14 days since they killed my grass and left many spots very brown and not a single person has come to resolve my problem.

    I switched to this company this year. Had one tree spray service (that was fine) and a lawn service. I was told the moss control would not bother my dog who I explained is sensitive to chemicals. They do not seem to understand that dogs don't just tip toe thru the grass. He ingested some and became ill. I had asked a lot of questions first and assumed they understand pets if they are making such claims instead of telling you the products used (yeah try to get that information!). So I discontinued moss control from them and mid-summer asked them to fertilize and weed control the lawn which I specifically asked them to do while I was on vacation and the dog off site for a week. The weed control seemed to grow the weeds to hardier versions of their former selves. Only one patch showed any sign of treatment after 2 weeks.

    I called and they said they could retreat because the weeds really don't respond much to the weed control and require several applications. Again, good to know BEFORE they run up a bill esp given that they cannot just keep putting chemicals on my lawn due to the dog (well, and me). A tech called to say he was coming out Friday and I again said I have to do this when the dog is off site so not to come out. Then another tech comes out Tuesday -- the very next day from the last conversation with the office about NOT coming out and with a flag on my account that says to always call first -- no call. He does not knock to let me know he is in the yard (I have a LOT of windows and it is early morning).

    He sprays a lawn that had just been watered so it is NOT going to absorb into the grass quickly like they say if it adheres at all, and not knowing they were here, I let the dog out and in the morning he ALWAYS rolls on the lawn and scoops up rabbit droppings from in the grass. So now he smells like the chemicals and has been licking his paws to get it off and has ingested the stuff so I have to take him for a bath. I cannot open my windows while the air is cool (heatwave here) because the smell comes into the house. My complaint was referred to the manager who has not called back. Also the fertilizer apparently is granular, not foliar, and requires watering in to work. I just did that (big yard, don't water the lawn a lot in summer). Again, good to know BEFORE so you can make informed decisions and protect your pets. I live near a lake and told these guys that I was not going to subscribe to a frequent service to protect the watershed.

    They just do whatever they want and send a bill. Communication within the company is terrible and too many people are involved in service to a customer. DONE with it. The EPA should be paying attention to this outfit. This business model needs a lot of work. While I understand human error can occur, this was serial human error. And they are dealing with toxic chemicals, not bubble blower! Fail-safe is a great strategy.

    I've been a TruGreen customer since 2008. This afternoon I received a letter from their "in-house" collection agency requesting $106.46 for past due lawn service. I called customer service and spoke to Eric. He politely explained that since I set up a service plan it's my obligation to cancel before the next season starts. If the customer doesn't call they come out and start fertilizing whether you want it or not. He compared it to DIRECTV. If you don't cancel they keep billing you. Well, I get how DIRECTV can get away with it - people watch TV every day. But seasonal lawn service? He told me that the policy was explained on their bills and in their welcome letter that apparently comes out in February - who the ** reads that?

    To me, it seems that the business (TruGreen) should either get a signed contract (offer incentives) or reach out to their customers and renew the relationship each season. A simple text like... "Do you wish to renew TruGreen lawn service? Yes/no?" ...would be sufficient. There's quite a few competitors working our neighborhood now. So, don't just assume I want you guys back. I paid my bill today and made sure they understood that I no longer wanted their service. I don't agree with the way TruGreen does business. It seems cold and pushy.

    I arranged for lawn service and grass plugs but was also billed for tree and shrub which I did not order. After several calls to the local TRUGREEN office and the national headquarters, I was unable to get their mistake rectified. So I cancelled the service. No one from TRUGREEN tried to block my decision or prevented me from receiving a refund; actually a credit to the VISA card I'd originally used to pay.

    In retrospect I should have stayed with TRUGREEN because the price I was initially quoted for lawn, plugs, and tree and shrub was about half what I'm now paying for just front yard lawn service. The one application of fertilizer and insecticide TRUGREEN provided before my cancellation was done carefully and thoroughly by a technician who was working in 100 degree heat and 90 percent humidity. His truck was spotless inside and out. I hope my account here offers others the resistance to calm down when trying to resolve a problem and not later regret taking a stupid step like me in cancelling.

They wanted to send a supervisor out to evaluate my lawn. I had already waited around a whole day for just such a person who was suppose to come out. He never showed, called, or called to re-schedule. So I told her no, I wasn't waiting around another whole day for a no show.

    Then she wanted to give me some discounts if I would continue. I told her that the discounts would not make the situation with my lawn any different. After it was clear that I wanted to discontinue from that date, she assured me there would be no further charges and that she was notifying the technician as we spoke. The next Monday, the technician called wanting to come out for the monthly service. I told him that I had cancelled the service and he said he did not know that. The following Friday, he came out anyway and treated the lawn (so he said--I can't verify it for sure, but he left his ticket). So don't go with TruGreen, they can't take no for an answer and try to ignore your directives. I am so very disappointed with this business' results and their business practices!

    TRUGREEN BAD Promotion!!! 5/4/16 1st application Weed and Feed. 5/18/16 called as no dandelions had died yet and the clover has become more widespread. 6/14/16 TruGreen came to re-service as nothing happened from the first application. 7/5/16 Called back again as the weeds have become bigger not smaller. I was told a manager would come out and check my lawn personally. 7/5/16 Called back again as no one had come out yet. 7/11/16 Called back again as no one had contacted me. Not sure what they are pulling, but, fearful that per internet logs, they are watering down the applications of the "one application" clients to get multiple applications service payment out of them. Agent said she would escalate to General Manager Carl **. 7/13/16 Manager Lisa ** (very rude) said they will not come out again as I am a "one application" customer, (imagine that). Said she would escalate to manager Carl **.

    7/13/16 Sent email to web site suggested by company homepage. No RESPONSE. 7/14/16 Called back again to speak with Carl ** and he was out to lunch. 7/14/16 1:00PM Carl came to my door and said these weeds were new. And they would not come out again as I was a one application client and it would take several visits to kill these weeds. This is the 13th year with TruGreen and until this point in have had no problem with one application working. This time two applications did not do anything and they now say it will take several application at $50+ per to kill all the weeds. This company wants to lose my business because they want multiple visits at a greater price. The BBB needs to look into their operations as it is watering down their chemicals to get you to put in 5 applications per year. TRUGREEN is not a company to do business with. I am willing to speak to any on who wants to hear this horror story.

    On 6/22/16 Trugreen employee Ronald ** came to my home to perform a service for weed control and fertilization. Being skeptical of his quality of work based off my previous experiences with him, I watched him from the time he arrived til the time he left. The employee never treated my home for weeds. He left the ticket summarizing his work which stated that he had. Essentially, Ronald is an unethical liar.

    I contacted Trugreen and requested the service manager call me. He did the next day and I requested a new technician. He stated he couldn't send a different technician but a manager could service my home to which I agreed. On 6/28 Trugreen called to say they would be out the following day, the 29th. They never showed. I called them once again and stated someone needed to fix the issue and fix it fast or just cancel my service. I was told I would be contacted by someone the next day to resolve this, no one called.

    I have had Trugreen service for multiple years at multiple addresses. It has been one thing after another with them. The treatments work, however it is their service that is absolutely terrible. The technicians are lazy, do a half ass job, and in this case are flat out liars. Their managers also seem to have a total disregard for their customers satisfaction. I will be filing a complaint with the better business bureau tomorrow since I was charged for a service, over $100, which I never received. I will also be canceling my service completely. I strongly encourage anyone considering doing with business with Trugreen to reconsider and find a company who values their customers.

    UPDATED ON 07/12/2016: After 1 technician lying about the services he provided, 2 follow up no shows, and 2 broken promises by service managers, I decided to cancel my TruGreen service. I was told the money I had been charged, over $100, would be refunded and if I stayed, my next service would be free. I agreed. After a few days, I called back to check on the status of the refund. Conveniently, it had not been processed nor noted. I requested they listen to the recording of the phone call. They are supposed to get back with me within 24 hours. I've heard that before. In the meantime, here are a few pictures of the weeds you expect to flourish in your yard while having Trugreen service.

    Do not pay by check, bank transfer ACH payment. Only credit card. Avoid frustration when you will get your continual monthly payment refund by disputing the charge on your credit card. Killed trees with tree service. Refuse to refund prepaid annual service after only two treatments which damaged my trees and grass. Most importantly I can only read a national conglomerate support line. There is no way to communicate with the Sterling office where their charming salesperson did an excellent of performing the TruGreen sales pitch.

    I just wrote a long complaint and it was lost by my clumsy accidental clicking of the back arrow. I'm now trying to rewrite my story of frustration. I wasted my time with constructive suggestions not criticism of how I've been deceived. All I wanted to do was cancel one or two services. As a consequence of their crack training, I asked the third supervisor to cancel all my services and subtract what they think I owe for the service. And refund the remaining pro rata. I was told that they could not promise to do that. She could not even provide her last name (assuming she knows it) nor her employee number. I might be forgiven for thinking that she was trying to remain anonymous in the case of non-positive feedback. What's honest is their name... they are TRUE to their interest in GREEN.

To add insult to injury, after having another contractor give an estimate, it says 1/2 the yard wasn't even touched based on the amount of weeds that clearly divided the property's growth. They are a waste of money at $72, coming every 3-4 weeks doing NOTHING as opposed to when we signed up at 6-7 weeks, which makes it cost us more money per year. STAY AWAY FROM TRUGREEN.

I never had any consultation on my yard other than on the phone with a corporate guy in another state. To make things even worse the "Technician" cannot be trusted to treat both the front and back yard. This happened early on where they treated my front yard and not the back but said they did. I was home to witness the first shenanigan. I called their main number and they convinced me to give them a second chance so I did. That lasted 2 treatments... I get home today and can easily see the granulated treatment done in the front yard but alas not a single grain in the back yard. I will say their products do work but that is not the issue.

    We have been a customer for the last year with TruGreen and up until 16 June 2016 they have done an excellent job. After my last treatment on June 15th, we developed brownish stripes (9) in the front yard where they ran the applicator machine. You could see the tracks of the applicator and between the tire tracks, the grass turned brown. The rest of the yard was fine, except for the nine tracks.

    After getting into a heated discussion with the local manager they agreed to send over their "expert" to look at my problem. He came by stuck a tool in the ground to take soil samples and said I have a quote "very rare grass blight". Now this blight appears to be so rare it only appears in the tracks of their machine and where the tracks cross over each other, the grass is damn near dead. But they promise it was not their fault and we just have to wait and see when it rains if the grass turns green again. I have had people try to sell me a bill of goods before but these people are pros at it. Paid for the whole year in advance, so trust me I may be in for a fight to get my remaining money back. Going to contact a friend at Iowa State AG department to drop by and give me his opinion of this extremely rare grass blight.

I keep getting promises of service but it has not happened to date. The most recent call back to me came from John, the GM of the Charleston office who promised me the service would be delivered last Friday or today, June 18. It has not happened. Any new customer would be wise to check all the rating services for their area to see what TruGreen is rated. You may be surprised at how low their service is rated.

    I purchased a summer lawn care package from TruGreen to control my weeds and dandelions, as well as to fertilize and enhance my lawn. I could not complete the work this summer due to a healing repaired broken shoulder. Each time TruGreen completed an application, the lawn seemed to burn. At first I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. I spoke to one of the techs to make sure I didn't need to immediately water after an application and found I was to do nothing after an application.

    After the third application and further burn, I contacted the company twice through email four days apart, but heard nothing back. This last application severely burned both front and back lawns. I emailed the company requesting someone call me. No one called. I called the company to express my disgruntledness and dissatisfaction. I took photos of both yards at 10 am, before the heat of the day sat in. These are the photos of the lawn the day after a fertilizer application. The customer service representative on the phone assured me someone would call me within the hour. This person would be a supervisor and would set an appointment to walk my yard with me. Almost 4 hours later, no one has called.

    With the 90F heat we are having, I am unsure whether I can reverse the burn. I am disappointed at spending close to $300 and my lawn burning up. I am even more disappointed that I emailed three times and had to call the fourth. This company readily took my money, and even had a deadline for payment, but has no one available to help control the damage done.

    Signed up for the annual irrigation service (4 quarterly visits) with the understanding that two wires would be traced and hooked up to valves currently disconnected, and 3 of my 6 valves would be located. I also had one zone w/ low pressure. After each of the first 2 visits, the tech offered other solutions to hooking up the disconnected two zones (adding a separate battery powered timer and adjusting other zones to spray shrubs which resulted in lawn getting insufficient water). Finally, on third visit, he brought the wire tracer but was unable to trace the specific wires, and claimed they are not in the ground (I can see that they exit the garage and go into the ground outside).

    The final visit I was not home, but we had a known broken head, so the tech explained he would fix the head, then come back to run the system when he could access the timer box in the garage. I was charged for two visits, contacted billing, and the manager regarding the issue, and they wouldn't remove the second charge. Spent over $400 for a few sprinkler heads, and excuses why what was promised could not be delivered.
