Lawn Fertilization and Pest Control recommendations
 

We are in the market for a comprehensive lawn fertilization and pest control company. For the last 9 1/2 years we have been using LeeCo for our lawn service and Florida Pest Control for bugs. Florida Pest Control was sold a couple years ago and went straight downhill after the ownership change and their service has been terminated. We have been loyal to LeeCo over the years despite consistently having one of the poorer looking lawns in our neighborhood. Our irrigation system is working perfectly and I have been planting sod every year to try to get a decent looking lawn. Despite that, our lawn is constantly filled with dead spots and weeds. We aren’t looking to have the best lawn in our neighborhood, just an average lawn without having to constantly be filling in areas with sod. I would greatly appreciate hearing from fellow Villagers about the service companies they use who have had positive results. Thanks : )

We have been very happy with Massey for pest control

Fertigator

I have been using Florida Pest Control for a few years and have been satisfied. I had a huge problem with Palmetto bugs and thanks to Kari, they are gone. I have some bare spots in my lawn, but overall it is pretty good. I have gone through several companies and I am mostly satisfied with them. They come out any time I call them.

We went with Fertigator for fertilizing and lawn pesticide/fungicide. The estimator said my lawn was 8000 sq. ft. (which was above the limit of 7000 in their pricing flyer) and he had to call his supervisor for a price. I'm not convinced my lawn is that big, and one of these days I will try to measure it myself and have them adjust their pricing if the square footage is below 7000.

Look at the County website.................the footage is on the site.

Arrow is the best but the most expensive. Never had a problem all the time we have used them. They are very responsive when you reach out to them.

Used Massey for 10 years Fired then when attitude and service went in the crapper. Use Deans now and very happy

We have been with Deans since 2013 for these services, and we currently use Chads for lawn mowing.

You could say I'm a thief; I use to be with Massey and then with True Green, even though I had full service with both I found myself disappointed. Now what I do is I ask my neighbors and see what they like and dislike about the companies they are signed with. In this way I only sign up for the services that they are happy with from each company. Right now, I use Massey for termite control, I use Fertigator for aeration and fertilizing, I have a small outfit for trimming and as far as irrigation I take care of it myself. This might not be for you, but it has been just the right fit for me.

Ditto for Deans. They offer senior discount and discount for automatic payment via credit card. They always give me a report about what they did and provide suggestions.

Massey Services. They do lawn, pest and irrigation.

When we purchased out home last year, the lawn looked like yours, and so did most of the other neighbors yards. They all used Massey.. So I fired Massey and brought in True Green.

Our lawn started looking better and the other neighbors complained to Massey and then their lawns started looking better..

Chinch bugs was the main issue, and lack of insecticide to keep them under control.

I do my own home critter control.
