Lawn Companies - Who Do You Trust???
 
I live in Lake Deaton and I'm trying to decide on a lawn maintenance company. We're in our house for 8 months and had Dean's initially. But our lawn is not pretty and I need to make a change. I've interviewed 4 other companies. Each has a good sales pitch but I don't know who to believe. Some are more money but claim better service and more/better treatment products. Others are cheaper but I don't know if they're as good.

If you had similar issues and found a company that did a great job for you at a reasonable price, I'd love to hear your experience.

Thanks so much for your help.

I also have had Deans (we inherited them from previous owners) since we got here in Sept and our lawn looks crappy. Their bed weed spraying also leaves much room for improvement. I've had to call them several times for follow-up. Have interviewed Massey and am tempted to call Fertigator.....would like to stick with one company to cover all needs. Suggestions?

Fertigator.................Talk to Dave. I've been happy since 2013. Four of my neighbors have switched to Fertigator as well.

Not Massey......

We have used Massey the last year and find they do a good job. We aren't real "picky" and I know some are. After 10 years in The Villages, we have found you have to "monitor" things yourself because the companies don't come around that much and your yard can "go south" pretty quick. If you leave for the summer, find A "home watch" which will monitor for you while your gone.

I am very happy with Massey.

Miss Best Lawn service

I do my own fertilizing, weed control and insect control. So I use Miss Best and her family for mowing and trimming of bushes. Her prices are very reasonable and now has picked up several lawns here in the village of Charlotte. Get on Facebook and type in Miss Best Lawn Service and you can see some of her work. I can assure you she will take an interest in your lawn and do a tremendous job for a fair pay check. I have had 3 of the big guys and no one comes close to this lady and her family's workers... You can trust Brenda Best...

I've had Fertigator for about a year. I do find that I have to get after them on occasion (e.g. to come and do the overdue shrub trimming), but in general they're good enough that I've not been motivated to go through the pain of cancelling and hiring someone else.

We agree with Baileysdad.
We've been living in The Villages since 2007 (seasonally).
We have been using Falcon Lawn & Pest for the past year.
We definitely want a full-service company, and one we can pay monthly.

We've found Falcon to be professional and very responsive.
We feel that Josh who takes care of our home really cares about our needs.

Our Home Care Company reports good results when we're not in The Bubble.
Falcon handles lawn mowing, fertilizing, weeding, pest control inside and out, termites, trimming shrubs -
they handle everything for us.
352-689-0050 for an estimate.

I only trust one, myself to do right.

I see my neighbors use all different companies, none stand out.

Just no upfront money who ever you pick, pay by the month

We have used Mayo's landscaping service for 2yrs. Having lived in Fl for the last 12 yrs. I can honestly say they are the most honest and trusty co. to date. Austin Mayo (352) 461-9208.

That's interesting...............I just called and they answered the phone.

They are in business and they have given me GREAT service for over three years.
