Does anyone have a recommendation for lawn fertilizing and pest control that isn't Massey or Dean's?

Pest Control, Lawn Care - Green Smiths - The Villages, Florida

We’ve been very pleased with Greensmiths.

We have had good luck with ARROW. Cost is about $340 a year.

My grass was a distaster when we bought. GreenSmith brought it back and the yard looks great.

Another vote for GreenSmiths. Brought my yard back. Small local company. Pay as you go, no contract. Good service, fair prices.

FertiGator has done a good job for my lawn.

Florida Pest Control. Not the cheapest by a long shot but excellent and dependable. We have two services from them on an ongoing basis: lawn fertilization/weed control once every three months and pest control every other month. We also have a termite policy through them. We moved here four years ago and noticed right away that we were not alone: a fair amount of cockroaches and ants also lived here, together with huge snails in the lanai. After two months on the job the critters were gone except for two cockroaches we found--both dead.

We pay total something like $450 per year. They schedule the service in advance and you pay after-the-fact.

Agree with this recommendation.

Not the answer you want - Deans.

MCJEFE 04-17-2024 05:29 AM

We fired Dean's this year.

There are many options, I have tried 3 different companies but Deans is the best I have found all the others had issues , weeds ,bugs, dying grass..

Superior Services
1-800-PestControl
Ask for Mitch Bolton

I could have asked this same question! We had Massey's but weren't satisfied so switched to Superior, and now have to resod over mole crickets. Superior was generally unresponsive, and when they would eventually respond said they weren't liable for their work, unbelievably! We went with Greensmith and they're treating the LIVE mole crickets Superior swore up and down were gone!

I use Zoysia and have been very happy with their technicians and their service.
