I had Fertigator for 18 months. They were generally reliable, although not without problems. There was an issue with a defective Fertigator unit that sprung a leak while I was up North that took two days to get resolved (water spraying all the while). I'm sure this is pretty rare though, so take it with a grain of salt. They sheared off a couple of sprinkler heads (although to be fair, they fixed them quickly when notified of the problem).It was also difficult to get them to reliably come by to do the shrub trimming, especially during the time we were up North. When my home watch informed me that the work hadn't been done and I called them about it, they claimed that it had. Perhaps it was scheduled, but maybe the crew came out to the house, found we weren't there and took a holiday. Or something. In the end I switched to Falcon Lawn and Pest. It's too early to come to any conclusions as I've only had them for about a month, but they seem somewhat more professional and responsive so far. Fingers crossed.

Update: I've been with Falcon for two months now and I am generally happy with the service. They show up like clockwork every week, do a good job and I get a nice professional invoice in my email shortly after they leave. With Fertigator I never really knew if they had come or not unless I was physically there to witness it. On the other hand, I am noticing some bare spots developing in the lawn that were never there before. Its difficult to know what may be causing that. It could be the drought I suppose. I'm wondering if I need to water more (but my irrigation water usage is already pretty high, 14,400 gallons last month for my corner lot).
