I recently stopped using my previous lawn service company (TruGreen) and am looking for recommendations for a replacement. The only posts I found were rather dated; hoping to get feedback from others with recent experiences.

Fertigator
Have used them for over 6 years.

You will find all providers will have good, bad & ugly reviews.
Labor is very difficult to keep.

There are old posts on providers never to use.

Good Luck.

So much of the service depends on your technicians. We use Massey and have a good tech, however, different technicians serve different Villages.

We have used Zoysia Green for 9 years. Overall I'm satisfied and when I do have a question to ask or an issue to resolve, they are very responsive.

Thank you to all who responded; I had Massey come out for an estimate and waiting for one more company to see what they say.

We have had Massey for over 10 years and we are happy. They respond, and they do their best to make it right. There are so many variables in lawn care and I have a nice looking lawn. Thay attend any training available to them and I know because I was at many of the same sessions. There are no other companies that work in The Villages that attend available training that I know of (that wear identifiable clothing or name tags).

We had Deans, fired them. Now Falcon, we'll see how it goes.
It all depends upon your "tech". Does he or she know their sh-t or not?

I've used Landsculpture for all of the above. Family owned and run .. Had Tru Green in Atlanta for a year or 2. They are on my never hire again list.

I had Deans for 6+ years and finally got tired of having to call them back out for services that they should have done the first time.. The last straw was when they saw areas of my lawn being eaten by "army" worms and they had no clue how to treat..

Falcon treated my neighbors lawn which was decimated by army worms. 3 months later following treatment the lawn has recovered. They knew what to do. I have Falcon as well.

I've been using Falcon for a year and have been impressed by their service and communication.

After some bad experience with Herron, we switched to True Green about a year ago. Big mistake. Many shrubs suddenly dieing. Grass full of weeds. Guarantee promises by salesman not honored.

LeeCo has done a good job for us.

I have used Massey for 7 years. Like others have mentioned, a lot depends on your technician. We have had the same tech for the last 5 years. He knows our lawn! We have a large dog. The tech knows how to handle feeding and treatment to counteract all the bad things done by the dog. Weeds will creep into our yard. Just a call and Massey is out treating the area!

I have Massey and they are very dependable and responsive. I only pay them after they perform a service. I don't like Dean's because they require a credit card to automatically charge. I would never pay any company for services in advance.

We have LeeCo and we're happy with them. Our guy understands my desire for organic fertilizers and earth-friendly pest control, since people walk their dogs on our lawn and I'd hate to learn that any of them had been poisoned by weedkiller or ant killer on our property. Also because I prefer to do my own weeding in the garden itself, so they respectfully keep their weedkillers out of the garden at my request. They also give me tips and hints on ways I can improve the soil, and they even gave me some money-saving tips on a sugar ant problem I had recently in the house.
