PLEASE..!!! stay as far away from this company as possible. They destroyed my new st Augustine lawn. Not sure how their reviews look good because they are a disaster. Always blaming something else which is typical of teeeible companies . Manager could honestly careless and is more concerned about CYA. Each time I called they blamed something different and yet the lawn continued to dwteriorate. When I finally cancelled, they never asked why or showed any sense of concern . The first thing they did was point to the hidden part of the contract that says they still get one more final payment out of me. Horrible service and attitude .STAY AWAY

Could not be more happy with their lawn service. Just put in a new sodded front yard. They were recommended by the sod company.

The PROTEX Lawn Care & Pest Control staff and crews are pleasant, responsive, professional and do a great job! We are very pleased with their work and will be returning as customers next year.

I was hoping for a better outcome for our lawn when I hired this company. My lawn after 3 months of service looks worse than before. Also, I have been watering 2x a week and have a rain sensor which they recommend. Unfortunately I had to cancel my service 😕 **Update Our lawn looks worse than ever. We hired this company to perform a service and all they seem to do is blame the customer for their lack of service. The fact is we watered our lawn twice a week and it was raining basically every day when they started servicing our lawn. Instead of just apologizing and taking ownership they blame the customer

I hired ProTex about 6 months ago, and while skeptical at first ( due to being burned many times in the past, literally), I have been impressed to be frank. With all the companies in the past, I always had the feeling of a used car salesman trying to see how much he could get out of me. But not with ProTex, the service guy was knowledgeable, and when I questioned he would show me on his phone or iPad, ( to back up what he was saying). Long story short, ProTex has gained my trust, which is very hard to do, and I look forward to a very long business relationship with them.

We have used PROTEX Lawn & Pest for the past several years. Our yard was in very bad shape, however PROTEX turned it around in short order by working the entire lawn - they fixed and set our irrigation, exterminated the existing pests, re-sodded in areas and fertilized everywhere. They perform timely treatment visits, will take time to stop and talk to us and will walk the lawn with us. They also do the interior pest control and hold our termite bond - truly a one stop shop. They are family owned and operated company. Two thumbs up! Diane & Mike

My lawn and shrubs were in bad shape, and I needed a termite bond and a home pest control program. I asked my community for a referral and this one came in with glowing reviews. The owners are knowledgable, prompt, professional and willing to go the extra mile. Other companies gave me a phone quote, but PROTEX scheduled an appointment and came right out. They are in the ballpark of what I was paying to my previous company, but much more thorough and have great results. Any concerns are quickly addressed, which is very reassuring...I know how quickly I can loose my lawn and shrubs if issues are not taken care of in a timely manner. I am sure I will not have to worry anymore.

I had a previous lawn care company that overcharged me for doing very little and my yard looked depressed. Doing a little research brought me to Protex Lawn. I couldn't have been happier. Derek and his team are very knowledgeable and you truly get the impression that they are passionate about their work - and it shows. My St. Augustine grass is now the most vibrant in the neighborhood and I've referred several of my neighbors who have asked how I got my lawn to look so good.

Be aware, this company will continue to invoice you even after you request to stop service! Pro-Re. Invoiced me for 2 months after requesting in an email that I was very unhappy with their service. In addition their products do not work, even after a year of broken promises. The owner and the tech always tried place the blame on something else like sprinkler, watering times, etc.

Bought a piece of equipment that they were selling. I am also in the horticulture/fertilization industry. I have to say that I am very impressed with the knowledge and experience that the owner has. If I ever needed a good fert/pest subcontractor Protex would be the first place I went.

I requested a quote online this past Sunday, and received an email confirmation that they would be out the next day. Fantastic! We need help getting some of the weed issues under control at our new house and we re also interested in home pest control. Monday comes, and by midday there s been zero communication from the company regarding when they would be out to provide a quote. I called and no one answered - it went straight to their recorded line. I tried again shortly after and the same thing - no response. I work from home, didn t leave the house, and yet no one showed up at all on Monday. Or Tuesday. Or so far today. It s now Wednesday and I finally received a quote, via email, from the company. But only after I called again this morning and left a voicemail inquiring as to the status of the quote. Their recommendation was sod replacement - which is understandable, however, the technician quite literally never came to our door or conversed with us, so I have no confirmation anyone actually came out to our house to conduct a quote. We also live in a gated neighborhood, of which I never provided the access code to, so I find it interesting that the quote was performed without my knowledge or assistance. It s quite possible they looked up the address on Google and found the old house listing, which included extensive pictures of the yard. I honestly have no way of knowing. There was zero communication from this company and I m extremely disappointed due to all of the wonderful reviews. We were not expecting miracles since we live in a rural area, but we never even given the opportunity to discuss anything, with anyone, regarding what we were looking to realistically achieve. If you re okay with zero communication and being written off, then I guess this company is the way to go.

My wife and I laid down a few thousand feet of Classic St.Augustine sod that had bugs and fungus. I called up Derek at Protex and he was here within a few hours just like he said he would be. He gave me a lot of information about what was going on with the sod and took his time to explain to me what to look out for in the future and what to expect as his guys nursed my lawn back into premium condition. A couple months later and WOW! I now have the best lawn in the neighborhood. Thank you Derek! Highly recommended five star service! I will recommend you and your fine company.

These guys are the best!!! We ve tried all of the big guys and were referred to Protex by a friend and couldn t be happier with their service. They are extremely knowledgeable and let us know up front that in order to get optimal results with their service that following their watering recommendations would be paramount. We ve listened to everything that the professionals have told us and the results have been fantastic. We look forward to a long term relationship with Protex and highly recommend them to anyone who likes to support local business and appreciates quality.

During our recent home remodel project, we were replacing the floors throughout the main level of the house. When we removed the baseboards, we discovered insects crawling out from behind the boards, from the drywall. It was a pretty unnerving experience! They were living in the baseboards and destroying the wood and drywall. We called Protex Lawn Care & Pest Control for their expertise. A representative from Protex came out the same day to check everything. He was very knowledgable and knew exactly what needed to be done. He came back the next day to fix the issue and we havent had an issue since. We were very impressed with the knowledge, efficiency, professionalism and the ability to fix the issue permanently and in a timely fashion.

After trying various products to get rid of our roach problem, I finally caved and called in a professional - and SO HAPPY I DID!! Derek and his team are awesome and immediately after they were here, already noticed a huge difference! Roaches in FL are serious problem and trying to sort them out on your own is next to impossible. Save yourself a ton of time and aggravation (and money...), they were great! So happy we used them, great service, top notch pest control company. Totally recommend to anyone with a bug problem!

We just purchased our new home and found it was infested with roaches, they resolved the problem immediately and now we can rest easy knowing the home is pest free! Their whole team is friendly and efficient, we are happy to recommend Protex Lawn and Pest Control!!

We hired Protex to perform pest control at my Mothers house. She can be very opinionated in the way others perform their jobs. I must say the proffesionalism and additional care they provide to keep her happy is top notch. Thanks guys!

We had a contract for lawn and pest control.The first time the technician came out he was great. Then they said that it was not his route and so they gave us another guy. The new guy was not thorough. Every time he came he would have to come back again. I had long weeds on the side of the house (he did not treat that area) also several huge fire ant nests and DOZENS of wasp nests. My gutter installer got stung 4 times. I can upload pictures to prove it. He said there was NO way that a nest that large was treated recently. I emailed them and spoke to Candice. Instead of apologizing and accommodating me with a new technician she responded our technician is fantastic we will part ways. Very UNETHICAL and bad business! Saying this when we have a contract speaks volumes on their customer service and professionalism! Take some accountability! It would have been fine if they just apologized and gave me a new technician. All they can say is that he was fantastic. Not unless you want bugs and weeds! I even texted the owner DERRICK and he did not have the courtesy to respond which was disappointing because when I initially dealt with him he seemed like a stand up guy. Apparently he and his business is a JOKE and so is his receptionist CANDICE. I see they made a petty response by mentioning the customers name and making flat out lies saying I was badgering them. If respectfully emailing them saying there work was not done properly is badgering them then they are uneducated with their vocabulary. Also, apparently me coming from another state and not an expert in pest control and lawn care is an excuse for their very poor work and lack of customer service. For them to even mention that, I feel embarrassed for them to make such a rediculous comment. Are they that desperate that they have to cop a plea by making an excuse for themselves by pointing the fingers at the customer? Have some dignity and apologize for their terrible attitude and work. I think customers will see how petty they are by their response (2 months later).
