Massey will do everything except trim bushes, but they are not cheap. I have not been able to find anyone who will trim bushes for a reasonable price, so I do it myself.

We can highly recommend FertiGator Lawn Care and their "Total Care" program. Phone: 352-314-2867
We've been a happy customer for two years.

Wish you well- Been looking for this for 7 yrs. No Joy.

Many say they can do-- In my experience , they fall short.

You may also consider Chad's Lawn Care . Their phone number is (352) 787-8303. They perform all of those services for me now, and I am very happy with their work. Send me a message if you want more info.

Thanks for all the replies. I called Chads for a quote
I found Fertigator's service great but pricing seems high

I am considering Dean's for full service; Lawncare spraying, etc as well as cut and edging. They say they can not give out names and addresses of satisfied "full service" customers. If there are any Dean's customers who would be willing to let me see what their lawn's look like I would appreciate hearing from you.

I had Fertigator for 18 months but could not get them to reliably do my shrubs in the Summer while I was up North. I switched to Falcon Lawn and Pest. So far so good (18 months in).

I suspect that one reason Dean's doesn't provide names or addresses is that only a small percent of their customers are truly satisfied. We hold Dean's fully responsible for ruining our lawn; are embarrassed at having the worst lawn in the neighborhood; and would be happy to send pictures as we have documented their inability to repair their mistakes. You may find some happy Dean's customers but their happiness is probably with a particular technician -- likely you are not on that same route. Stay away from Dean's
