Lawn mowing (weekly April-October, biweekly Nov-Mar) Lawn & plant fertilizer thru the sprinkler system Management of sprinkler control and timing system Spring and Fall inspection & adjustments of sprinkler system Pest control spraying Weed control spraying Plant & tree disease control spraying Bimonthly trimming of all plants, shrubs and trees. They advertise this Total Care Program for $1,595 annually for Villa/Small lots. We pay slightly more for our Designer/Midsize lot. We also have extensive landscaping, planter walls and lots of trees. We pay extra for their Springtime Hydretain Treatment, $90, that promotes fast and lasting lawn green-up over the summer months. Things like dethatching and core aeration are extra also extra. Best to call and have them come give you an estimate based on your lot and extent of landscaping. I negotiated my final cost. Also, we've been happy with Fertigator but I'm a firm believer that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I keep track of the schedule commitments and start calling them several weeks before all the special non-mowing services are due to be completed. I also made sure I have direct access thru text, email and cell phone with a management contact. They know quickly when I'm not pleased and have consistently responded promptly. |

No.
My neighbor has been thru many companies and none of them are to his liking - but he refuses to do the work himself. Look for an individual owner/operator who is conscientious...Good luck with that. I save the $1800 per year and do my own work at a tiny fraction of that price. It really is good stress relief after a hard day of goofing off. Get the quiet EGO self-propelled 54v battery mower with headlights and mow in the evening...$500 at Home Depot. There is a house on Devonshire Way where the owner replaced his lawn with rocks. |

Best idea get rid of the grass and go native drought tolerant. Cut way down on the watering, no chemicals and a lot less work. Besides how many of us go out an play in our yards anyway!!!

I have had good luck with Deans. At least they show up when they are supposed to and they are very responsive to any call or inquiries. NEVER use a company called Service Smart. They not only do not show up but they ask for a year payment up front and if you are not satisfied - too bad. We signed up for 1 year and they came once in the first 3 months after we signed up. Once to mow once to fertilize. I have been trying to get a refund ever since I fired them but so far nothing. Fast talkers but terrible follow through. I should have checked the BBB rating which is an F.

I don't know if Trompe Is’oeily, but Pruitt likes Ritz-Carlton moisturizing lotion.
