Thanks Dee. I know you have a good handle on which companies are reputable. It seems that there are good and bad stories about every lawn company. Perhaps it depends on the technician.

We used Bay Area Pest/Village Pest Service for a year, based on a recommendation. We found it quite frustrating to deal with them .. phone calls not returned, visits not made when promised. Now we're using Bates plus a different company to cut the lawn plus another company to take care of weeds.

If PTL does it all, that would be a relief.
