Full Service Lawn Care...Desperate !
 
Searching intensely for the perfect... ok, then...very good full service lawn care specialist. Right now I have 3 separate outfits...a mower, a green-up service, and a weeder/ trimmer. All 3 are just ok, none wants to do anything but their little part. Looking to get all 3 services done by one contractor.
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.

I'm a Fertigator guy. Been with them for over four years. Now a dozen of my neighbors are using them.

One-Stop-Shop.

Additionally, they just completed a significant landscaping job for me last March.

After the hurricane, they sent me an emails asking if I need any debris picked up.

Good Luck.

Mr. Wilson I was going to sign up with them because of your positive comments. Unfortunately they only offer the Full Service in certain areas. I'm about ready to do it myself that way nothing but perfection on each cut except I may not show up when its really really hot.

That's unfortunate.........I was the first guy on the block and now with a dozen others........Fertigator loves me.

I can't wait to see if you become dissatisfied with yourself and you complain on ToTV about the bad service. :loco: That would be entertaining. :wave:

I have used Deans for over 4 years, very few problems or concerns, and when I do they take care of right away. I use them for everything, except trimming of the plants and trees.

I had Fertigator for 18 months. They were generally ok, but had a bad habit of skipping contracted-for services like shrub trimming when I was away for the Summer. I switched to Falcon Lawn and Pest. I've had them for a year. So far, so good. Fingers crossed.

Oh Yeah, I have a complaint already. I don't even have a lawn mower because I can't decide, Gas or Electric????? Nucky's Lawn Service never shows up when it's over

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.

Fredman 11-03-2017 02:31 PM

I think choice maintenance does it all

Watch out for dog poop.

We use BLC Lawns, owner is Brandon Cassidy and I can't say enough good about the guy. Before we bought a house we rented and the owners there were insistent that we keep the lawn company (BLC Lawns) they used. I watched Brandon show up every single week and do a fabulous job so when we bought our house we took him with us. 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.

Oops, forgot to post BLC's number...it's 352-348-6568.

We have had Deans for a number of years and are very happy. They offer a full range of services and if we need a service they don;t offer (mulching as an example) they have recommendations for people to use. We have been very satisfied.

We've been using Falcon Lawn and Pest for two years.
They do it all, not just mowing, weeding and shrubs; but also pest control and termites.

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.

JoMar 11-04-2017 12:59 PM

Another vote for Deans.....3+ years

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.

Alpha One Lawncare 352-347-7048.

Do these companies have Pest Control licenses?

Choice Maintenance 11-19-2017 07:41 AM

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.

Barefoot 12-22-2017 12:55 PM

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.

vintageogauge 12-22-2017 01:35 PM

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.

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.

The "Search" button is located in the brown line above.
