Don’t ever use a company that requires you to pay in advance. Huge red flag.

The worse part is you have to pay them in advance. They don't have the professional decency to call you back and you can't reach their local work location.
Ehh. Quit whining! You were probably sound asleep when they came and didn't know it. That'll teach you to nap during the day!.....lol

I used Chemlawn in Ohio & it was worthless too, I think they watered my lawn. I got a Pea Vine take over, came back & redid my yard & it looked like to me it got worse. So don’t use Chemlawn either. I know some people liked it. I also found other people that had a terrible experience too! I do my own with Scott’s & I have the best looking lawn in our subdivision. But use what works for you!

Well, I don't know who this is, but I assumed when I read he raised his prices because of fuel, he meant to run his truck to get to your house (and everyone else's), and not the trivial amount of fuel for the lawnmower. But, could it be.

How odd... When I'm away, I'm alerted when they mow, every two weeks, (just as we contracted), via my front yard camera...

They are quite good to me. I've sat in my house and watched them the last 3 times they came, on time as promised. My yard looks great.

The only gripe I have is when they perform two treatments at the same time and charge accordingly. They are costly, but I do not know if they are higher than anyone else. My lawn looks great and I often get compliments.

If you have complaints about TG, I would suggest that you complain to them. If you are not satisfied with their treatment, call them and they will send someone out to repeat the treatment without charging you.

When I moved here, the yard was a weed patch and Massey wanted to replace my whole yard with sod. When I talked to TG, they suggested that I have them treat it first and see if it could be restored, before having to re-sod the whole yard. They saved me a big expense and the yard looks great. I cannot speak for you, but my experience with True Green has been positive.
Same here. Dependable. Text me when tech arrives on my property. Text when he is ready to leave. Leaves info on treatment. Invoice comes in the mail. Its all like clock work. Lawn is taken care of and looks no worse than anyone else's.

Especially given how cheap those cameras are nowadays.

We have had TG now for almost a year. They communicate very well and they stick to their schedule. We had issues when we picked them up due to lack of attention by previous service and they literally saved our lawn and shrubs. Lawn looks great and I have confirmed all their visits by my web cams. Cheers!

Actually I think Massey has them beat. They lied to me flat out and then never returned my calls. Still waiting.

Their building has a revolving door amazed at their turnover.

Had them for irrigation for a year had 6 different technicians come with 6 different settings on our system.

So much better with one guy who knows what he is doing.

I have had the same great experiences. They treat, I know when they are coming leave info on what was done, come back and retreat gratis if I need them to. Lawn and shrubs and trees all great.
