Lawn Fertilizing, Weed and Insect Control
 
I recently stopped using my previous lawn service company (TruGreen) and am looking for recommendations for a replacement. The only posts I found were rather dated; hoping to get feedback from others with recent experiences.

Fertigator
Have used them for over 6 years.

You will find all providers will have good, bad & ugly reviews.
Labor is very difficult to keep.

There are old posts on providers never to use.

Good Luck.

So much of the service depends on your technicians. We use Massey and have a good tech, however, different technicians serve different Villages.

We have used Zoysia Green for 9 years. Overall I'm satisfied and when I do have a question to ask or an issue to resolve, they are very responsive.

Thank you to all who responded; I had Massey come out for an estimate and waiting for one more company to see what they say.

We have had Massey for over 10 years and we are happy. They respond, and they do their best to make it right. There are so many variables in lawn care and I have a nice looking lawn. Thay attend any training available to them and I know because I was at many of the same sessions. There are no other companies that work in The Villages that attend available training that I know of (that wear identifiable clothing or name tags).

We had Deans, fired them. Now Falcon, we'll see how it goes.
It all depends upon your "tech". Does he or she know their sh-t or not?

Could you explain why their great.
I'm looking to drop Deans they no longer seem to care
I'm sure their over worked under staffed with all the homes being built

I've used Landsculpture for all of the above. Family owned and run .. Had Tru Green in Atlanta for a year or 2. They are on my never hire again list.

Houselover 10-03-2019 07:53 PM

Try Falcon
 
I had Deans for 6+ years and finally got tired of having to call them back out for services that they should have done the first time.. The last straw was when they saw areas of my lawn being eaten by "army" worms and they had no clue how to treat..
