Hopefully there are lucky homeowners out there who are very happy and satisfied with their full service lawn care. Of course cost is a major factor.
Thanking you in advance for your valuable information and kindly sharing it.

We have also used Dean’s for 4+ years - I would highly recommend them; ultimately, it comes down to the individuals actually servicing your lawn.

Default Beware of lawn services

Do not use External Intrigue, Brian See. I am not in TV full time and the same song was played again.....my neighbors called, telling me how bad my lawn looked, came down and they were right...He is very argumentative, has to be "right", doesn't take responsibility to do the job well, and says it is your fault. He retorted some angry conversation to my neighbor, has an attitude problem. Another one bites the dust....get referrals and check them out.

He has never missed a week and even during the rainy season when he got backed up because of the steady rain he still made sure he showed up even if it was at 7:00 at night. Just a super nice guy, does good work and most importantly, he's DEPENDABLE. Hopefully he services your area.
Do these companies have Pest Control licenses?

We offer lawn mowing, shrub trimming, and as you know weeding in flower beds. We recommend and work well with Heron lawn and pest. They can handle your irrigation, pest control, and fertilizer. It’s hard to find an all in one company that excels in everything due to good help. The more you offer the more employees you need to operate.

My definition of a full-service company is one that does pest control and termites
as well as mowing, weeding, shrubs, etc.
We've been using Falcon Lawn and Pest for three years in May, and we're satisfied customers.

I have one of the largest full service companies in TV. They started out great, had the nicest lawn on the street, in October they scalped it down to the dirt (have st. augustine), then they came back in 6 days and cut it again with a new mower set higher, didn't cut anything but said I had to pay, the new mower is now turning the grass brown where the tires go, tried changing the pattern, still brown, told me they were going to give a free fertilization, that never happened, then claimed they said it was going to be millorganite and they put it down on 11/7, if you ever had millorganite, your nose will tell you for several days that it is there, they never put it down, finally they came out and just did it, 6 weeks later. They are supposed to clean out the irrigation donuts every six months, started with them in May, still waiting for the clean outs, supposed to hand weed the beds, they spray weed killer and never kill all of the weeds. I'm not going to give their name as I'm still hoping they will get this back to what it was and if not I'll do it myself and will post the full story here.

Best of luck with your full-service company.
Please check in with us and let us know how things are going.

Clover is out of business. Apparently Bob had a health issue. Too bad as he was the best one I found. Back to square one.

85 Degrees. The guy they send is a very handsome guy. A few biscuits overweight but a really funny guy. He never asks for payment in advance.
If hubby decides he doesn't want to to it anymore I may sign up.

The "Search" button is located in the brown line above.
Search on Service Smart to see warnings about using their services.
