Never showed up on time. Paid for a series of applications of fertilizer, bug control, and weed control. The dollar weed is worse than it was before they started treatments. The grass has not improved. So allowing TruGreen to treat my yard was a total waste of money.

I have used TruGreen for years but believe the quality has definitely gone downhill. I don’t recommend allowing them to “overseed” your yard. I have more grass growing in my gardens and ground cover than in the yard. I’ve watched the employees rush through the treatments and even miss entire areas.

Please if you use Tru Green of Texarkana please check your cameras to ensure they are actually coming out and doing the work! They try to send you GPS of their work. Pull up Google Earth and check your lawn comparing it to the gps they send you!!!

The issue have been resolved by TruGreen.
Original Review: Nov. 13, 2024
Have used TruGreen for several years and my yard is in the worst shape than when I started using them. Have had problems for 2 years, started with chinch bugs that took them over a year to realize what was causing the grass to die, finally got upper management to come out and find the problem. Weeds have been a problem in the front yard where the grass died from chinch bugs and they made no headway getting rid of them. Account manager came out and said they would come out and respray for free, but I received a bill. He would not answer the phone or return my calls. Last service they only treated 1/3 of the front yard, I call and they sent a true knucklehead out that ask which weeds were a problem, they were told ALL of them. He resprayed for weeds but did not have the other chemicals that should have been in the spray in order to complete the previous service.
Now they are threatening to take legal action to collect $113.15 bill that they said they would cut in half. I have answered the phone every time they have call me. The guy that cuts my yard said he could take care of the weeds, he sprayed one time. Several days later you could tell the weeds were dying and in no time they were all gone. Do not use TruGreen.Their so called service techs have no idea what they are doing, And you can tell from their ill fitting uniforms they were not order for them but handed down from the last tech that left.

I have been a customer of Lawn Service for almost 10 years. This summer, August 2024, I got a call from one of their reps, telling me my bushes have a disease that looks like a spider web. He told me I could purchase a separate contract for bushes and trees where I get 4 services in the year. I told him I noticed my roses had that issue, and he assured me that with this service, they would be treated. He also told me if I did not treat those bushes, the disease would spread to the lawn.
They applied their treatment once, but I was not home then. 2 months later, there were no more applications. I called their office and asked them when they sprayed my bushes again. They said since I got the service late in the year in August, that the rest of the 3 services will be done in 2024, contrary to what their rep told me. I told them I still have the same issue with my roses and asked them to come back again for a 2nd spray. This time I was home, and I asked their rep to spray the roses. He said we do not treat roses! He also refused to spray my evergreens in the back saying they don't spray them in the fall, but I could see that they started to turn brown, something I never saw before.
I am very disappointed with this company. Last week I called them and said I needed to speak to a manager about a complaint. One week later, they still have not called back. They don't care about their reputation and do not want my business anymore. I am not going to use them next year for sure anymore. They lost me as a customer because their sales reps are like used car salesmen, they will lie to sell their product, and their customer service is a joke. Such a shame!

The service is fine and the laborers always seem to be courteous, respectful of property and do a good job. Lately, however, the customer service is awful. They've obviously outsourced their call center recently and I could barely understand the person who I was talking to who had a strong, robotic, accent and talked way, way too much when asked simple yes or no questions. He (or she?) then got upset with me when I stated, "just answer the question, yes or no". What happened was, although I pays for an entire year of lawn service, they raised the price a month or two after I made my yearly payment which then resulted in them billing me, even though my yearly payment wasn't due again for two months.

We have always cared for our own lawn but as we are getting older wanted help. We hired Tru Green and our lawn is a disaster! Numerous times we have complained and reached out to our local provider and we get the run around and still have a disaster! All spring/summer & fall we have had a horrible lawn!

I do NOT recommend. We paid for the whole year, it’s been more than 7 months and we have see no difference. Their excuse was it’s because this summer was way too hot. Grass was being watered as recommended by TruGreen and nothing. When they would come out it was always less than 10 min. Do not use them.

This company does not do grub treatment in Florida. Please be aware that there are regional laws that dictate what treatments lawn companies cannot do. If you have grub damage to your grass this it MAY NOT BE WORTH IT to hire a lawn company like TruGreen. The 530 dollars will probably not be worth it.

The company serviced us, they killed our lawn, and when we called they stated they’d take care of it but wanted $850. One time they put flags up as if they treated the lawn but never did, we were home at the time. We are in our mid 70s and had to rake up their dead mess and reseed it ourselves. They also told us the manager would come & he never did. No show. Never called back. Too many hands in the pot & no one knows what they’re doing. The company is too large with poor customer service, failure to match their promises, and I would not recommend them. Find a smaller business with more attention & loyalty to their valued customers. -Ken & Pat **

TruGreen responded immediately to this review, apologized for the issue, and refunded half of each service since only part of each one had been delivered. Seems like it was the technician who was the cause of the issue. I increased my rating from 1 to 2 stars to reflect the solid response from customer service.
Original Review: Oct. 12, 2024
I can’t believe I didn’t check reviews before starting this service. We have 6K sq ft of lawn. Customer service said it takes about 1 min per 1K sq ft. The first service took 1 min, he never went to the side or back yard, and sat in his truck for 6-7 min and left. The second service took 1 min, no back yard, in the truck for 6-7 min and left. I called to get an explanation of services completed, assumed I could be missing something, and asked for answers right away or I would cancel. They did not provide answers, but texted me 4 more times asking for feedback, so I cancelled. I spent almost $140 for 2 min of service on just my front yard. Based on their response to my concerns I can conclude it is either a scam or a failure in customer service. The evidence leads me to think is a scam.
Hello Keith, thank you for your feedback. We have sent you a private message. ~NB

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I have been completely disappointed with TruGreen’s lawn care services. For one thing, I don’t find them to be trustworthy. My first interaction with a sales representative was informative. As a result, I signed up. My experience has been downhill since. The service technician on the first visit got out of his truck, stuck a ‘I serviced your yard’ sign in the front yard and left…. He did nothing. I reported it. I should have canceled right then. But, I didn’t. Since I began with them almost 2 months ago there’s been an overgrowth of weeds in the yard and the grass has not gotten greener. Vines were taking over my shrubs. I don’t believe I’m getting the lawn care or the shrub care I signed up for. I’m DONE!!

I have dealt with lawn maintenance companies for many years, but TruGreen in Wilkes-Barre, PA, is not reputable in my opinion. I agreed to an aeration service with them and when I tried to contact them with questions I had afterwards, I was unable to speak with the person who charged my credit card for the service after 3 phone call attempts. I finally got to speak to an "agent" for TruGreen and realized the local company was using an answering service. I found out that the only way I "might" be able to speak to the "owner" was to drive down to the Wilkes-Barre store 40 minutes from my home! I don't recommend this company at all.

10/14/2023 I signed up with TruGreen over the phone, paid over the phone, for a monthly lawn care to make my lawn thicker and greener. The payment was $538.86 annually. July 2024 I received a bill from TruGreen for $59.24 for potash treatment. I called TruGreen questioning the bill. They told me that I had a one year agreement for TruGreen but I had to pay monthly for treatments. TruGreen did not ask me if I wanted those treatments. They did it and sent me the bill. Also I reviewed my outdoor cameras and did not see their worker servicing my lawn. I told them that and they said he went to the wrong address so they sent him again. This time on camera he used his spreader on the front lawn but in the backyard he only posted a TruGreen sign. Again, I have renamed Tru-Green “LieGreen” and “CheatGreen” because they Lie and cheat their customers.

If I could give zero stars that is what this service is... WORTHLESS! From the initial quote 02/19/2024 thru to the last lawn treatment 08/21/2024, TruGreen was the absolute worst. Every treatment the technician had to be reminded to actually treat the small section of grass in back yard & side tree lawn. For the record, I prepaid for all services. Every time they promised to make a notation to make sure that the back yard & side yard tree lawn would be treated and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME they failed to treat the areas unless I reminded them to. When I was not home during the treatment time they FAILED to treat the back & side yard lawn.
The last time the technician stated that his supervisor told him specifically "only treat the front yard & front tree lawn, do not treat the back yard or side tree lawn." When the customer service rep calls, they thank you for your feedback and do absolutely NOTHING to help or correct their failure to provide services that you pay for. DO NOT TRUST TruGreen to do what you pay for or to do what they say they will do, HORRIBLE SERVICE!

I hired Trugreen because my new lawn was having an issue in one small location. I prepaid for 10 treatments 2 my lawn. During the treatments, twice on separate occasions I was told that the tech came and treated my home and not signing the sign they leave on the grass I reviewed my camera footage and neither time from morning to evening did one tech step in my yard so I called the office and had to have another visit within the next couple days. Meanwhile as the months go by keep seeing the initial issue I hired them for and had address with previous technicians get larger and larger. One technician said I’m watering too much to cut back. The next tech said I’m not watering enough. Meanwhile as of last week half of my new lawn is completely dead.
I had two treatments left and called to cancel and at least receive some type of small return for those treatments and instead I was offered that a manager can come out (never never received received this offer after several calls to complain about the issue). And I also never received my refund for the last two because The customer service agent says that I had my 10 prepaid but the next two that I had scheduled apparently we’re supposed to be out of pocket which that’s not what I signed up for so suddenly I’m paying out-of-pocket for those but meanwhile, I paid for 10 and I received 8 and they just said, "Sorry and thank you for Choosing trugreen." Now I have to resod half My yard then nothing from trugreen for allowing my yard to die and telling me, "Treatments take time. Just wait." This company is the worse. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!

We have had issues with TruGreen Lawn Service since the day we signed up for service. I don't know if the individuals we are dealing with don't want to work or what it is, but we have to call every time they come to our property. They "finish" their service, whether it be weeds, etc. within 3-8 minutes, start to finish, at our property. We have a pretty large lawn and that seems too quick to me. We have called numerous times and have not ever received a call from a higher up, we only speak with customer service, and they say they are putting notes on our account. We have had the aeration service cancelled twice, once due to faulty equipment, the kid was going back to the shop to get another aeration machine and would be back, he never came back.
2nd time he showed up, same individual, and put a marker on our lawn showing the service was complete, then sent an email that he didn't finish the aeration due to a pet in the yard! We don't have a pet that goes outdoors!!! And today, service was scheduled, my husband stayed home all day and NO ONE SHOWED UP FROM TRUGREEN!!! No call, no email, no nothing! Customer service once again said they'll put notes on our account. EXTREMELY disappointed, dissatisfied customer. I would not recommend TruGreen to my worst enemy. We work very hard for every penny we make, and we were trying to get our lawn repaired. We heard good things from a neighbor and his lawn is beautiful. We paid a lot of money for horrible service.

The lawn and Tree & Shrub services were not good at all. After 3 months with them the lawn is terrible, it is in the worst condition since we bought the house 10 years ago. We tried to let them know about it and they didn't respond until I said I will cancel the service then the first response was to discount the price, which is not what I needed - I needed my lawn in good condition.

Am very worried about my other large trees as the leaves are looking questionable. It is too early for them to start to fall. Cancelled the remainder of my plan due to damage.

Can I give a ZERO star rating. Agreed to their service August 12 (San Antonio Office handles my area). They finally did service today, August 21, but it was the wrong service even though I confirmed with them 5x that I wanted grub/chinch bug service done first. After 5 phone calls, lots of wait time, 3 different "Customer Service" representatives who each claimed they had to speak with a supervisor... I never got a clear answer when they would provide the service they agreed to, and the promised "supervisor will call" telephone call never occurred.
Finally, I requested cancellation and the representative kept trying to tell me that they could provide the service - but this was only after I said, "Cancel". She refused to honor my cancellation until I finally had to say "Cancel" 20x and also state, "I never want to do any service in the future with TruGreen". Finally, she got it. Actually that customer service representative was really good - but she can only do what the TruGreen script allows - and that is terrible, absolutely terrible. Finally I got a cancellation number and promise of refund. Now, I'll just have to see how hard that will be to actually receive the refund. Awful. Awful. Awful!!!

I'm extremely dissatisfied with the services provided. We have a tree and shrub service package, and this morning, one of their technicians came out to treat our trees. He clearly wasn't expecting anyone to be home. He rang the doorbell at 8:08 AM and was finished by 8:12 AM. We have many trees in our backyard that he never treated, which we know because we have cameras around our house. This isn’t the first time they've failed to provide the services we pay for. Be aware and keep an eye on them, as they don’t deliver on their promises. Yet, they are always quick to send a bill for services that were never completed.

This is my second year with TruGreen. My lawn has never looked worse. I cancelled the service last year at the end of the summer because weeds and fungus took over my yard. I decided to try one more year, but unfortunately with the same results. I’ve gone over two months with no fertilizer application and only got weed and insect control reapplied because I called. I requested a supervisor to come out which did not happen. A technician did come out and applied fertilizer a week control 3 weeks later. He told me the more I complain the better the service. I did not hire TruGreen for me to manage. That’s what I paid them to do. I will not contract services with them again. Talking to the local company is impossible and they send the innocent technician out to deal with the complaints. Customer service stinks!

Worst company ever. I am so disappointed with them. When I signed up this year I explained and even sent photos of where I have peppermint growing that I use regularly. They verified with me that that area would not be sprayed with the tick control. First, I was suppose to be notified via phone call the day before and text the day of and that never happened.
After two prior treatments I hear a leaf blower in my yard and go look out the window and I see the gentleman spraying my peppermint plants directly. I go out and told him he was not suppose to spray that area and only got a "Sorry, Sorry" as I do not believe he spoke much English. He then proceeded to spray the rest of the yard and I have a raised garden on my back porch and he proceeds to spray underneath the garden. That chemical is not suppose to be sprayed within so many feet of any fruits and vegetables. These are things that I have been consuming that should never have been sprayed. Next, I called Trugreen to complain and cancel my service and they tried to keep me as a client and I said "no." They offered to pay the price of the peppermint I had to cut down.
My concern is the consumption of peppermint that was sprayed. I was told I would not be charged and I was. Just called up and the woman said she would not reimburse the payment as I cancelled the service. I cancelled the service because there is a lack of communication in the company and a lack of knowledge of what should be sprayed and what shouldn't. I will not even get into how my lawn has become overgrown with crabgrass. Never again will they go near my lawn.

That also never happened. I called and got a scheduled appointment and they were coming between 1pm-6pm. Was getting text messages from them to track his status. Wife took day off and canceled her Dr. appointment for the day. Then at 4:50 I get this text message: "Your TruGreen specialist was unable to perform your Free Service today. Check the status at https://www.trugreen.com/track-my-service". UNACCEPTABLE!

I really hate doing this. I hate reading bad reviews, I hate the feedback that comes back from them, but my God have I been tested this morning. After spending hundreds of dollars with TruGreen on their regular scheduled offerings, we have spent more on extra treatments as the lawn took a while to respond. However, I must say the dandelions did go which we were pleased with, but once they died off, they left enormous holes in the lawn area. So.... Same old, same old .... We paid for yet another treatment to aerate and over-seed the lawn today. They did not tell me they'd arrived but did ring my doorbell when they had finished and were just about bolting off. I went out to have a look and I can't see any seeds on the bare patches at all. So.... I call up to talk to someone who told me that I can't see the seeds because they are dropped down the holes that the aerator leaves behind???? He suggested I purchase a bag of seed to put on the bare patches.

The lawn care is an absolute nightmare.
Scheduling is horrible - not sure what system they use but either they have A LOT of user error or they should change systems.
First visit for lawn care was on 7-18 - was supposed to be weed killer and fertilizer - I honestly don't think they applied anything.
Second visit for lawn care was on 8-5 - talked to the young man about my very healthy weeds that have doubled since the first visit on 7-18. Was told to call and schedule a free reapplication of weed killer. Called schedule for them to come out for weed killer on 8-7 and seeding on 8-19.
Third visit for lawn care was on 8-7 - the applied fertilizer instead of weed killer - 2nd application in less than a month. Called again - scheduled for weed killer application on 8-9 and seeding on 8-21.
Fourth visit for lawn care was on 8-9 - you guessed it they applied fertilizer AGAIN for the 3rd application in less than a month. Called to cancel the plan. Apparently seeding was still scheduled to happen on 8-19.

See before and after pics- this damage occurred within 5 weeks of hiring TruGreen to maintain my well established lawn as I am no longer physically capable to do it on my own. Clearly they destroyed my lawn, I went from a plush thick green lawn to weeds, brown spots and dead grass. Their “specialist” that finally came after 2 weeks of calling for them wrote on his evaluation that my lawn had mower tracks and needs water. I water religiously in the morning aside from the rain we had. You can see in the photos the difference between what my lawn looked like under my care vs. Trugreen's treatments. I am completely disappointed- the only thing I was offered was a refund - no attempt to fix the damage they caused. Lastly I rarely write reviews- for me to take the time to do so is a 1000% accurate account of my experience with Trugreen and hope you won’t hire them!

TERRIBLE is an understatement! Left chemicals all over cement. Left PITS IN THE CEMENT from chemicals- I have photo to prove from the date with the chemicals pits were created. Product did NOT kill one weed or crabgrass. Communication is TERRIBLE. Stay away! They promise to blow cement, they promise to use liquid chemicals- every person just tells you a different story! Chemicals can be on cement if it's dry and blown off- but cement was wet and chemicals were left to melt and create pits. Derek is very rude and arrogant- oh his chemicals are "physically impossible to do that"- fine we will go to court to prove that wrong! A little common sense that the cement holes match all your chemicals- some people need to be able to THINK and be KIND. Communication is key and they do not listen and have attitudes!
That's fine, we can take this to the next step of common sense. They promised to blow cement- but NEVER EVER do that! They promise to spray trees/ shrubs- well they did 10 percent of them! It's all a SCAM! Just do what you promise- that's all we are asking and also first do no harm. To be continued..... They could of worked this out honestly and kindly- but with lies and being arrogant- things will and do escalate! Sometimes open honest kind conversation can solve things vs creating such a mess. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE! Or you will play the price.

Started service with TruGreen in April 2024. They said they would aerate the lawn and treat it asap with a type of weed and feed and overseer. They said they would leave flags in the corner of the lawn once they've treated (no flags ever left). My Ring camera shows them arriving twice despite their own statement of suggesting they have been there 5 times in 4 months of service. The last time they arrived, they got out of the truck with a spreader and did one 30 second "U" shaped walk in the front lawn and got back in their truck and left.
I attached a picture of what our lawn looks like after 4 months of supposed treatment from TruGreen. There are more weeds than grass. I called Customer Service today and they placed me on hold for 2 hours. I finally hung up and will be contacting the Better Business Bureau. Our HOA is fining us $10 each day for excessive weeds and we thought all along they were being treated until we reviewed video. Highly disappointed.

I have been using Tru Green for years. I just added a 3rd property to my account. Every spring I pay in full for my properties. This year I have had nothing but hassle with the call center, the scheduling and now they’re billing me for something I didn’t ask for. Apparently they went out to the newest property and sprayed for mosquitoes twice and are telling me that I’m past due and now they’re sending it to collection. I didn’t ask them to go out there and spray for mosquitoes. So now the relentless phone calls for money past due is consuming my summer.
Two out of the three properties is just out of control with weeds. You can’t talk to an actual employee with a brain. They won’t let you get through past call-center, which is just people uneducated in the field, some very stressed and rude. I don’t know what happened to this company this year, but I will assure them that I will never use them again after all these years.

Original Review: I can’t speak to their actual product because I was so dissatisfied with the company I would refuse to use them. I inquired about a quote for lawn service and within 24 hours I received calls from 4 different individuals, texts from them, and someone even stopped by my house unsolicited. When I did speak with someone to get a quote they were rude and condescending. I did not accept the quote at that time because I was comparing multiple companies. However, I was harassed by repeated calls from the company. I informed them I would not be working with them and asked them not to call me again. After that I continued to receive multiple calls from different people despite repeatedly requesting that they not contact me again. The calls were from all different people and numbers that it felt like a scam. They clearly have no personal touch or respect for customers. I am one more call away from a report to the BBB.

3. I was told that I paid for the service until August 2024, but they started charging me as of June. Took me 3 hours on the phone to waive it, telling them that I didn't sign up for additional services outside of my prepaid.4. They always want to mislead you and make you sign up for the things. Look at the website, it says "You have 4 services remaining for 2024", however it doesn't say whether it is within prepaid plan or you will have to pay for it on top. Website made the way that it is impossible to reconcile how much is left on your prepaid.

15 years ago we decided to have TruGreen spray our Spuce and Blue Spruce trees that we planted from seedlings 30 years ago as suggested by this company to prevent various diseases and insects from possibly damaging the trees that were doing well at that point. Several seasons later, we started to notice some dieback and excessive needle cast and limited new growth. We elected not to have a Spruce tree in our backyard sprayed because of our dogs. Therefore we decided to cancel TruGreen services since the untreated tree was doing great. From that time to today, the trees treated by TruGreen have continued to decline while the untreated tree and a couple that were difficult to access are looking great. Our conclusion is that just like human vaccines, chemicals on plants can have detrimental side effects.

I have just completed my 5th out of 7 lawn treatments for weed control. I called them after waiting and few weeks and had them come spray again because they had missed so many of the weeds with the first treatment.

I still had a lot more untreated weeds of which crabgrass was one in particular that I had told them I wanted gone when I signed up. I just spent another $106.00 on Torocity to treat the remaining weeds myself with two more treatments to go. I gave them a chance and they totally failed based on my experience and expectations.
For the money, $79.00 for each treatment of seven treatments, I could have done much more with the money myself. I could have gotten rid of the weeds and controlled new growth while seeding my lawn and using weed and feed for the same money. Bottom line is, I wasted $553.00 that could have given me a nice looking lawn by doing it myself. I should not have let them talk me into any service and I never will again!

I was in need of True Green for my Lawn needs... I responded to a Facebook ad and I received a quote, I thought it was very high, so I checked with other companies and found a better rate for more service... True Green called me back as a follow-up call and I told them of my decision...the person became very rude and disrespectful... They said, "I hope you don't lose your lawn!!!" And hung up on me!! I have received at least 5 more calls from representatives. I asked to be taken off of their call list. Rude employees/ high prices for service. Beware consumers.

This company is run by idiots. In March they said they were going to aerate. They didn’t get to it until May. I have bald spots all over my lawn. When the technician was here, I asked when they were going to reseed. He said they don’t reseed. I called the local branch to confirm, was told that they do, and set up an appointment to have it done 6/4. Nobody showed.
On the 5th, another technician shows up to aerate, but they’d already done that two weeks before. I asked him when they were going to reseed and was told for a second time they don’t do that. I called again, and this time I was told they don’t reseed. When I asked why I was told they did the first time, the only answer I got was, “I don’t know why you were told that.” I cancelled the service and demanded a refund. It remains to be seen if that will actually happen.

I was very pleased with Alexander ** mosquito defense service on my property today. He explained what he would be doing on my property and potential issues that I would have with stagnant water on the property. He walked through the 1 acre of my property and sprayed around all the bunches and trees. He was careful around my pond as I have fishes and around the fountain areas as well. He explained that I should not allow my dogs out for a couple of hours after he has sprayed. Information provided was very helpful. I called Trugreen at 10.30am because I have a party this weekend and they accommodated me and scheduled a service call on the same day. I really do appreciate the customer service. Highly recommended. Now we can enjoy our backyard and the summer in peace.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I had a horrible experience with TruGreen. I saw no improvement in my lawn. So I requested to discuss the issue and see what other steps could be taken to improve the lawn. I was told the tech was coming out today and that he would stop in and discuss my options. Not only did he not stop in to speak to me, he lied about it. On my receipt it says "I knocked on your door, I'm sorry I missed you...", but that is a flat out lie. I work from home and my office is 3 feet from the front door. I would have heard a knock.
I called TruGreen about it and they didn't want to do anything. I could deal with less than desirable results if the company is honest and doesn't lie to me and could offer some sort of plan to fix it. But one thing I will not tolerate is being lied to. I asked for a supervisor to contact me, and the next day someone called but it sounded like another tech support person from another country, I could not even understand what she was saying. Very bad english. She did not want to help me at all either. Very disappointed with TruGreen and will not continue to do business with them.

This was my first time getting a lawn service company to help me with getting my lawn in top shape. I have chosen the wrong company. I was given conflicting information every time I called and spoke with customer service. I asked for a monthly plan and I was quoted one set price, but when I called another time to get more clarification, I was told the price quoted was for 9 months, but I still would have to continue to pay for the last 3 months even though no one is scheduled to visit my property.
When I tried to cancel the plan, I was hit with almost $400 on a balance I never knew I had. Mind you when the lawn specialist shows up they only lasted 2-3 minutes. I am still confused of the service they provide. They have not done anything to warrant such exorbitant fee. To make matters worst, not even 5 minutes after I cancelled, someone from their new customers department called me and tried to get me to start a new plan. Sorry but no thank you.

Please beware when signing up for TruGreen. Several issues: A. There is a scheduling and billing issue. They will schedule a service, not show up and still bill you. They insist you are wrong. B. When they do show up, the techs are not trained. I once watched a tech think he was putting fertilizer on the lawn, and when I showed him the fertilizer spreader level was not going down, he was surprised. He said they were not trained well. C. I have had techs show up, sit at the end of the driveway and talk on the phone, and then leave. I knew I would be billed, and I was. It's my word against theirs.

Nothing but problems with TruGreen, including:

- If you have multiple services, in my case lawn and mosquito, and you call in and say "I want to cancel," they, deceptively, cancel one service, but not the other.
Besides the recurring billing problems, which I feel I never authorized, the biggest problem is that my lawn (the turf itself) which used to be the nicest lawn on the street, looks stressed and terrible.

In looking at the satellite image of my property with grass areas supposedly delineated with each lawn area square footage listing and the total square footage they said was lawn I found they grossly inflated the actual lawn area.
When I re-opened my account I was told that someone would come out and measure my yard prior to application but they could only do so if I re-opened the account. Trusting I wouldn't be lied to I re-opened the account with the assurance of a proper measurement of the grass portion of the property prior to application. Today the applicator rolled up and got ready to spray the lawn. I asked him if he was here to measure the lawn and he stated he knew nothing about that and wasn't equipped to perform measurements.
I showed him the satellite image of my property and he agreed that much of what TruGreen indicated as grass was really stone and pavement. He told me that the satellite image must be from before the stone and pavement was put down - unless their satellite images are more than 15 years old that cannot be the case. I do not feel that Tru-Green has been honest and truthful in their dealings with me and I would not recommend them to anyone. I should have followed my first instinct and gone with someone else.

My Husband and I contacted TruGreen late September 2023 about grubs in our yard and asked about a service to get rid of them. We were quoted a rate of $88.92 for the first month and then $130.00 after that. Our yard was serviced in October, November and December 2023. We were charged $88.92 in October. We were charged $130.60 in November. BUT in December and January we were charged $139.86...more than what we were originally quoted for the service. TruGreen had to come out more than once to try and get rid of the grubs, which are still in our yard. In December we asked that our credit card be changed to another one. The January payment did not get taken out of the new account we gave them so they issued a refund for $139.86 on our old credit card account and rebilled the new account for $139.86 in January.
As far as we were concerned our debt with TruGreen had been fulfilled. Our yard was not looking any better at all. Our neighbors said they thought it looked worse. A call was made on January 30, 2024 to cancel the service. As far as we knew our service had been cancelled. In early March we received a letter from a collection agency, asking for $359.34 in a past due balance. We has service with TruGreen for 3 months and paid for 4 months. How can anyone be past due? PLEASE do not use this company. It was a waste of our hard earned money to pay for a service we never received cause the grubs are still there.

They kept telling me it would take time to see the results of their treatments but my lawn was not improving. Then I started working from home and to my surprise I witnessed the technician stick a flag in my yard and put a bill in my mailbox and then he got in his truck and drove away without ever treating my lawn. When I called Trugreen to complain they apologized and said they would report the technician and send a supervisor out to retreat my lawn.

I cancelled my service, got a refund, and hired a new company. That was 1 year ago and the new company already has my lawn looking great. My neighbors had the exact same experience with Trugreen.

During the phone calls, I was told that in order for them to initially talk to me, they would have to open an account (not a problem). During that time, all they did was try to get me to sign up for service without going out see the lawn. I never spoke to someone physically in Colorado. This was the reason why I did not go with them.
In Nov 2023, I get call from a collection agency asking that I pay up. I do not recall signing a contract with TruGreen. In my experience, you never start long term service (something that is going to across multiple days) without a signed contract.

I have gone through TrueGreen's survey multiple times and have never had anyone from the company respond. I have been with TrueGreen for years, both in Florida and in Tennessee. Two years ago you tripled the price. I canceled the following year. A representative called me and stated the price would double, but I would have all seven treatments just as the year before. This turned out to be a lie as you whittled the visits to five as opposed to the promised seven. This was the first nail in the coffin. Your latest bungle was when the tech came to the door (ring doorbell at 3:38 p.m.). They used to text before coming and after the treatments. Apparently TruGreen has eliminated this service.
My neighbor watched as he pulled out the hose and laid product down around a three to five foot perimeter around the house, not around the property. The tech was in and out of here within 12 minutes and that's time to roll out the hose out and and back in! Again, I have contracted 1.1 acres that TruGreen has promised to service.
You can't legislate morality and your company has none. After calling a representative to have the yard redone, another rep called and promised that a supervisor would be contacting me within 24 hours. Needless to say this did not happen. Finally received a voice message from an obviously disgruntled manager who told me to call him back. Seriously?
The representative I spoke to on the phone said she will make sure this is banned from my property in the future. TrueGreen, Alcoa, Tn. has never responded to a concern unless it was on social media via Facebook for everybody to see. Even at that, your tone and attitude was despicable. Yet again you crawled right back into your, do as little as possible for as much financial gain as possible, mentality.
UPDATE: To add insult to injury yet once again, I call the customer service line and ask what time they will be here. They said it's now rescheduled for the following Monday. I told them when they scheduled it for today that I was moving appointments around to be here, but that meant nothing to them. Can't stand TruGreen and will never deal with this fraudulent lying company again!

After my post I got a call from Nicole who was so helpful! She tried as hard to help me resolve my problem as the salesman did to earn my business! She was able to offer a great solution, meet me halfway, and help me move on. Thank you Nicole for helping me resolve my problem and come to a mutually beneficial solution!

I signed up for 4 different services with the company. After 2 months and 2 treatments for pest control and mosquito control I was still having problems so I canceled. They had my credit card on file and had charged it for my first month of service. ($145). All I owed was for 1 service done in the following month. But they told me I still owed an additional $255! When I asked why they didn't charge me for all of the services I received when they charged my card at the end of the month - they couldn't explain it! They couldn't even tell me why they only charged my $145 if I indeed owe them $400 - I know - because I didn't. I feel like that because I cancelled they are trying to reach back and charge my 3x the amount I agreed to. Also their services are not effective which is why I CANCELLED! So now I have to pay three times as much for services that didn't work in the first place!

I have found TruGreen only cares about money and not the customer. I used them on another address and when moved tried convert account but had issues getting the accounts linked so they created a new one which caused issues. Afterwards when I was finally able to get into my account and review and report my issues with my lawn they gave me excuses. Months later different excuses same issue in same spots. This went on for almost year before there were times they claimed the tech was there and applied almost 25 gallons of product but in under 10 minutes without ever getting caught on camera, when I complained about this they would send same tech out or I would get call and he would make up reason for why it did not make sense for him to come out again.
Final straw was when I complained and was told by the manager in area that they would send someone out and 3 weeks later no one did, when I contacted support to complain about last service that was never applied they offered me 20% discount on only my next service. This was an insult to me and requested my account be canceled. They finally did after trying to resell me again and deleted all the reports so I could not even use or review them for later. In summary paid for treatments and weeds and grass never looked worse since started and no one cared.

Hired in May for five applications. One of the three drivers acted like they cared. Totally forgot the aeration, fertilizer and seeding. This was after they were reminded. Finally rented an aerator. Called and basically wanted to take a few dollars off despite the labor already being done. This after I got them a new client in the last 5 weeks with a bigger yard than mine. Totally disappointed with them. Thought this was going to be a better experience. It wasn't.

I have had yet another very frustrating experience with TruGreen this season. On three occasions, I have called and asked for our wild violet to be treated, and it has yet to be done. Prior to our maintenance service on September 15th, I called TruGreen to request that our wild violet be treated. The technician came and treated with the normal fertilizer and weed control, and told us to call to have someone come out to treat the wild violet. So, I called TruGreen again, and was assured that it was noted in our account that wild violet needed to be treated, and that they weren't sure where the mixup happened. They said they would send someone back out on October 5th to treat the wild violet.
October 5th came, and the technician again applied normal fertilizer and weed control. We had just received fertilizer and weed control less than 3 weeks prior! So, I called TruGreen again. Again, I was assured that our account stated that the technician was only supposed to treat the wild violet on that visit, and they didn't know where the mixup occurred. They said they would send someone out for just the wild violet, and that our last service of the season would be pushed back so as not to damage our lawn.
Now, I receive a text that TruGreen is coming tomorrow to perform our last service of the season, with fertilizer AGAIN, not even two weeks after the last time they came and applied fertilizer (when they weren't supposed to). I called and spoke to Jules, who was very short and disrespectful on the phone, telling me repeatedly that tomorrow is my last service, and that it can't be moved back, even after I explained the damage the fertilizer could cause to our lawn being applied so frequently. She then told me that they would just treat the wild violet without fertilizer tomorrow, but that would still be my last service.
I said I would like a refund for the last service then because I would never be receiving the winter fertilizer. She said I can't have a refund, and that she'll just tell them to do the fertilizer tomorrow with the wild violet. I replied that she was not listening to the part about damaging my lawn, so she then said they will come October 25th instead. That's still less than 3 weeks from our last fertilizer application. At this point, I want to cancel my account with TruGreen because the communication is seriously lacking.

I signed up for a year service for the trees and scrubs. I was told that they would even test me when service was going to be done so that I might be able to see what was being done. I received texts but no one would come to do the service, I even got one test that "Danny was at my house." I have been home all those days and 4 times I get back a text that "Sorry we could not complete your service." I called customer service and the rep guaranteed it would be done today. Another lie, so I called back to their customer service asking for my money back. They would not give me my money back. Shut these crooks down!

The first few visits my yard looked great. Then the weeds started to stay. They treated again and weeds still there. They came back and treated again and weeds didn't die but yard started to die. Today they were supposed to come for a consult and treated the yard again. That is 3 treatments in a very short time span. I took pics today to show how the grass is dying from the treatments but there was no place to post on their reviews. Also ref. For what happens to yard now.
If you want your grass to die I suggest you call TruGreen. They will accommodate you. They also are very good at passing the buck. Should have known in beginning when they called 3 times to get payment on a paid in full account before treatment and 5 sales calls after I had already purchased a plan this was a company I didn't want to deal with neighbors say the last 2 scheduled visits they didn't even spray. I wasn't home so don't know but there were no signs on lawn or report on door. Very stressful company to deal with and that was before they started killing my grass. I have picture proof.

I was a customer until the company told me if I wanted to get rid of the weeds I would have to pull them up myself. They are one of the worst companies I have dealt with in my life. Please don’t waste your money. I called them to cancel the service and the lady said sure but that they would like to send someone out to look at my lawn. I said okay but I still wanted to cancel because I don’t need them if I must pull out the weeds by hand or treat them myself like I was doing. My lawn was not looking any better than others without the service.
They sent out two more specialist individuals to look and stated that they apologize and would like to give a month of free service because their representative had been in error. I said okay but I do not intend to pay for the service. They stated no problem, it was free. I did not see anyone come back after that and there was no improvement. They then charged me for the service they said was free and two other services they said I was behind on when I paid all services on time. Their collections department then hounded me like a dog in heat. Finally, I paid for the poor services and services I did not receive to get them off my back. It took from March to October to terminate and clear my bill (I hope it is clear). They hung up on me twice without provocation and it was near impossible to get someone on the phone who could help.
Worst company to deal with. All they want is your money, service is not a priority and they will lie to get your money. I asked for cancellation many times and they continued to "provide service" and charge for it, then refused to correct the problem. The manager and specialist came, inspected the lawn and agreed that there were many weeds, and promised free service, but no corrective action was taken while the billing continued. I have had a terrible experience with TruGreen. Please do not make the same mistake I did. TruGreen is a rip off.

I was a loyal customer until they showed up one day to do aeration and seeding. They left a message that they were coming and I assumed it was part of the lawn service I ordered and that they would ask my permission if there was additional charges. I wasn't there to stop them from coming and didn't know that I would be charged over $200 for this service that they never even asked if I wanted it. I cancelled after this.
Prior to this I had other complaints such as the tech spraying the lawn would knock over and damage lights in our yard and would park in front of our driveway meaning we are unable to use the driveway until he leaves or would have to ask him to please move their vehicle. Shouldn't have to ask them permission to use our own driveway. In one case, I arrived home from an appointment and couldn't use my own driveway and had to park in front of a neighbor's house since the truck was blocking my driveway and the front of my house.

After prepaying several hundred dollars our lawn has just as many weeds as it did before we subscribed to their service. The manager came, inspected the lawn and agreed that there were many weeds, but the onus was on us, not the servicer to inspect the property each time an application was made to determine if it worked. It would seem to me that the tech after multiple visits should be able determine that the treatments were ineffective and modify the treatment accordingly.

Terrible company. Terrible customer service. Second time in a row I could not see hardly any fertilizer in my grass. Called to talk to a supervisor and got a run around from terrible customer service person that told me they did not have a phone number for a supervisor. Got two "free" retreatments that burned my grass. Supervisor showed up unannounced at my house a month later after I cancelled my service. Too little, too late. Then I was charged $77 on my credit card 25 days after they told me my account was cancelled.

I have had such a terrible experience with TruGreen. They never got rid of the mosquitos. Then they charged me double what they originally quoted me. I asked them for a copy of the contract I signed. They said it would be emailed to me within a couple of hours, that was over a week ago. I finally just cancelled. Please do not make the same mistake I made. I am certain there is a true local company in your area who will be so pleased to assist you. TruGreen sells overpriced and over promised terrible products. I hardly ever write reviews. I could not be silent about this experience. Terrible.

TruGreen is a rip off. They won't make an appointment with you because they don't want to alert you as to when they are coming so they can claim they treated your yard even when they didn't. In my case, they came and stayed for 6 minutes. They left no signs they had been on the premises. No yard sign. No note on the door. When I looked at my camera I saw the person had stayed just 6 minutes and had not sprayed for weeds and had not even treated the entire front yard. He did not treat the backyard at all because it was locked behind a gate and I had no idea he was coming that day or had even been there at all.
The next visit I was actually there and i saw the TruGreen employee treat my front yard then close the back gate without stepping foot in the backyard. Then he left!! I would not recommend this company at all! They are complete tricksters. If you don't have cameras it will be difficult to prove that you are paying them for nothing and your yard will continue to look the same way it always has. DON'T DO IT!!
