We've had Massey for 5+ years, ever since we moved here. Never, repeat, never had a problem. Lawn looks great.

Don't use Bates!!! Have had them for over 4 years and currently my yard is being ravaged by fungus! Their response was dig up the effected areas and replace it with new sod! Their tech never even considering informing us that we had an issue!!! But he continue to spray and fertilize!!

We use Massey for pest control only, $65, every 3 months and they come out whenever we call.

You can only defy nature so much. This is why so many homes here use river rock. Mother Nature always prevails.

Our lawn service called us when we were up North to let us know there was a small dying spot in our front lawn and I immediately called our service that fertilizes to let them know. Call was directed to a Supervisor who promised to go and check and report back to me. The following day she called with the diagnosis and the treatment plan of attack. She subsequently followed up with me weekly to let me know of the remedy and progress with the treatment. Lawn resolved beautifully and looks great.

We have never regretted dropping the old service and subscribing with Heron.

Those pics do not look like any natural (disease/pest) effect. They look like a chemical application mistake. Thick grass but totally brown. Looks like weed killer/grass killer totally misapplied.

We have had Massey for 5 years. I have had 2 problems with my lawn. I called, they sent a supervisor and everything was taken care of to my satisfaction. Massey is good for me and goes above and beyond when there is a problem and I call for extra service.

I googled/binged pest damage in Florida and got all these pictures. Note some where they pull up the sod and show those creepy worms.
