SO NOT USE DEANS!! They are worse than Massey - get an independent company that WANTS your business- I used DEANS and they stopped doing my lawn when I was a snowbird and continued to charge me - pics from my neighbor showed them how they are scammers!! YOU ARE WARNED!!

Not sure if they are taking new customers..............but it's worth a call.
Just for straight mowing, there are a number of small guys out there.
Also, check with neighbors.
Good Luck.

I don't pay anyone in advance, including Massey. They only get paid when they perform a service.

I won't hire Dean's because they require a credit card that they can automatically charge.

We had Massey for a few years and they destroyed part of our lawn and then tried to allegedly lie their selves out of it. We fired them and hired Dean. The decision appears to be the right one, Massey would show up spend 2-3 minutes spraying a rather small area
and 4-5 minutes preparing the bill. Yesterday Dean had 2 persons spend over 45 minutes a piece working the lawn. There are a number of homes around who have had the same experience with Massey and I see there are others by reviewing the TOTV input.

I have used Massey for 10 years for lawn and bug treatment and have never had a problem. I have a big piece of property and it is free of weeds, red ants etc. Watch out who you hire. The grass always looks greener when you first hire a new company. I was recently given a new termite contract for 10 years by Massey, with a pretreatment at a very fair price. I have hardly had any bugs in my house (few Anoles), and an occasional roach will fly in, but they are quickly removed.I use an independent guy for sprinklers and another for Lawn maintenance.

We had Massey for three services and now only one/

Hired them for irrigation service and started off a year ago great.

Than over the year had total of 5 service calls and than each guy (five different ones) set up irrigation differently. Asked them to call and make an appt and that happened once.

Asked for renewal a few weeks ago told them why not and didnt seem to care.

Hired them for fertilizing and weeding and not satisfied and gave that elsewhere.

Guy doing pesticide is good guy doing fine and keeping that service only.

We're sorry for your experience. Our records do indicate that one of our crews missed your service on June 6, 2016. You likely remember that we dispatched a crew immediately after this mistake and even credited your account for twice the value of that service for any inconvenience.

Despite this correction, you demanded more money and ultimately your account had to be cancelled by a senior member of Management because you were abusive to our staff during their efforts to help.

Several years have passed, and I'm sorry this is still a concern, but we hope you've had time to find another company that's a better fit for your needs. In the meanwhile, we remain proud of our outstanding reputation (A+ BBB) and willingness to address concerns fairly and honestly.

That's food for thought.

I always wondered when they come with those large tanker trucks in front of your house
and act like their spraying chemicals, what's in those tanks and if it's diluted.

I'd like to collect a sample and have a lab tell me what it is and how strong the solution is .

As far as Massy, I'm sure they mean well, it just harder to fine good help these days

I am interested in an alternative. Any recommendations? Is there such a thing as a gardening service in the area?

Massey does a great job for me on bug control, weed prevention, irrigation, and termite prevention. I do not use them for mowing, tree trimming or bush trimming.
I would love a recommendation for someone who would select proper plants for the area and keep them healthy for ne. Any ideas? Thanks for any help you can provide.
