Question Heron Lawn & Pest Control

Just received a price quote from Heron for lawn treatment and they are 38% higher than our present service. We have Zoysia grass. Asking if anyone here uses Heron and are you happy with the result.

Would not use Heron because their representative (I think his name is Kamper) is bombastic and argumentative. He claims that all communication must go thru him - did not like that idea at all.

Thanks. That is not the name of the rep that we received the estimate from. We were ok with the presentation and estimate, but would like some referrals before we sign on with them.

We decided to go with them after I admired a lawn in Sanibel. Emailed the owner and indicated they switched from Massey to Heron. We fired Deans and are using Heron and The Perfect Mow for cutting. We had mole crickets and sod web worms....Deans just said the lawn was under stress and will recover. Our lawn is looking 100% better after 1 application with Heron and 1 lawn cut from the perfect mow....saga continues

I cut almost 250 lawns a week out here and the ones who have heron look fantastic. I hear they are pricey but i think it is worth it.

We use Heron,, Rep name was Keith. Great Guy,,
Our yard was about run over with Fungus and Mole Crickets. They started our yard about 6 months ago and looks Wonderfabulous. About 10 people have now gotten their service I know since. A neighbor is using another company and you can tell the difference.
Call Heron and have them send Keith your way. IMHO great service and great results. A PLUS

Default We use Heron

He comes every other month...$59.. Our lawn looks great, we also walk mow.. No more heavy riding mowers making hair-pin turns. What we like about Heron, EVERYTHING needed for lawn is in his truck. We would give them 5 stars.

Just got a quote from Heron today. $9780.00 per year!!!! Totally shocked. Can I ask what others are paying? YES, I have a very large lot with many plantings, BUT come on, this is crazy. I was paying Superior $1990.00 for the lawn & garden and home pest. Previous company was paid 1700.00. Going to have to get more quotes...
