My mother in law has been complaining to me about the crew that has been on her property for a while now. She says her late husbands tools have been going missing over the past couple weeks. I've tried contacting the company but no one ever answers. Her shed has a loose door knob and she says there's a skinny African American kid that looks young going in there every time they visit. She hasn't been able to see what he takes he hides it well but she's too afraid to confront the men and they are too unprofessional to answer phone calls

Grass King seems to have upgraded their crews to 4 people. They are in and out minimizing the noise and making it a great experience for my grandma. They've cut three yards on my street within 15 or 20 minutes. They've done fantastic work making the whole block look amazing!

The Grass King? They showed up at my house and began to mow the lawn. I don't use a lawn service! I mow my own yard! When I asked the guy what they were doing, he said I was on his schedule to mow today. NO IM NOT!!! When he figured out he was on the wrong street they just packed up and left. They made 3 or 4 passes on my lawn and just stopped and left. Really??? Now the lawn looks $#@%ed up. Called and left a message, cause thats all you can do, and no return call, no nothing!!! This place is a JOKE!!!

Grass King and Kris Dossey have been such a pleasure to work with. Always professional, attentive and proactive, and impeccable attention to detail with every interaction. Kris really goes out of his way to make sure his customers are heard and supported through every step of the lawn care process. I HIGHLY Recommend!!! You won’t be disappointed! -Catherine and Andy Engstrom

We have been using Grass King for about 15 years. They are always professional and deliver an excellent experience. They have terrific communications. For example, if it’s been raining and the ground is too wet on our normal service day, they send an email to let me when they will be there. I hire them for services throughout the year in addition to weekly yard service, such as winterizing beds and mulching, and their prices are extremely reasonable and the work well done. Hiring Grass King is one of the best decisions we have made for our home!

Grass King has done my regular lawn maintenance since 2017 and they always do a good job at a fair price. Today, they installed a new flower bed in the backyard (with edging and mulch), mulched the existing beds in the front, and added river rock and area with french drains. Everything looks great - especially my new bed in the backyard!

Dog owners BEWARE!!! When we hired this company to take care of our lawn we let them know we had a dog and to please make sure the side gate was always closed after our weekly service. They assured us they would always do so. Unfortunately they forgot the last time they serviced our lawn our dog got out of our yard and was hit by a car. He didn't survive. His spine and back legs were crushed. We had to rush him to the vet so he could be put to sleep so he would l not suffer. I called Grass King to let them know this happened. They did not have ANY sympathy at all, even after I told them we have two young children we now have to explain to them what happened to their dog they still didn’t care and wanted to be paid. I told them I was canceling my service and I will not be paying for the service on the day our dog was let out. They threatened to send my account to collections and report me to the credit bureaus. And that’s exactly what they did. They were not willing to accept they did anything wrong. We will NEVER use this company again and will NEVER refer them. Even if they do a great job, which they were mediocre at best, the fact that they would not apologize for letting our dog out and crediting our account was inexcusable. If you have a beloved family pet PLEASE rethink using this company.

Terrible is an understatement. Beware if you want to contact with this company. The first time they mowed the lawn, did so with a riding lawn mower, left tracks throughout the lawn and did not weedeat or mow where the riding lawn mower could not reach. I called customer service, sent pics and they told me it would be addressed. Next time same result, more pictures and again will be addressed and then yet again and tore up the yard. A whole bunch of yabba dabba and ZERO “DO” Very disappointing as the the office has genuine concern but the team Doing the actual work does not give a #%^ about being prideful in their work.

My landscape has never looked better! Your team was fast, friendly, respectful of my cars and did an AMAZING job including clean up (not a leaf left behind)! I love how they evened out all my small bushes in the fronts of the beds, raised the canopy of the monster Holly Berry bushes and even trimmed them down to a more aesthetically pleasing size and the Box Woods are perfectly boxy

Great service, great people. They mow on a schedule. Sometimes that means they mow when you might not think it needs it. I dont see this as a problem, but if having a set schedule bothers you, having someone else mow your lawn might not be your best solution.

They would run over my kids toys with the mowers not tell us when they were coming always changed days also did not take care of the weeds like they said they would complained multiple times but never got better

I understand its been raining and theres gaps in service because of it. What I dont understand is how my neighbor gets services weekly and its been over a month for me. Im on ever other week service. When they schedule a skip for me, the following week should be service, not the next month. I contacted them and the OWNER responded to my request for service but they still no showed me on a sunny day after 48 hours of no rain. They pulled this game in the past as well. Constant emails asking for forgiveness for late mows and no shows. They cant keep crews running and they sub out their work, subs tear up your lawn. To top it all off, they charged me for a mow they didnt preform. If you want reliable and quality service, look elsewhere. If you choose to use them, youll get an email every month with an excuse on why they cant mow.

My husband and I were customers for almost 3 years. I was never impressed with the job they did, but my husband works a very demanding job and I care of our two very small children. So we didn t have much of an option to do it ourselves. I will give credit to them that when we complained about a really poor job someone would come fix it. But there were times it just wasn t worth our time to call until someone answered to fix the problem. And we shouldn t have to. I think in this situation, you get what you pay for. I will also agree with other reviewers that whoever answers the phone and talks to customers is very rude. Also, my husband called twice and sent an email last Friday to let them know we were canceling their services. No answer and no reply to the email. My husband called Monday morning to make sure they got the email and the lady was very rude and said we were already on the schedule for that day and she wasn t sure if she could stop it. My husband replied he was not paying for it if they came because it didn t need to be mowed (we did it ourselves) and he had canceled their services on Friday. She reluctantly said she d see what she could do, and was able to catch the mowers before they came. As a person who worked customer service for over ten years and did a damn good job, I find it shocking that someone would behave so rudely to a customer, especially one canceling services. Instead of replying to all of these reviews making excuses and defending yourself, focus on making some actually change to your business. I won t be recommending you to anyone.

Grass King has been taking care of my lawn for over 5 years. I can t put into words, how amazing my lawn looks after they have mowed, edged and used the weed eater. I love to look at the edges around my driveway and sidewalk after they have edged. There is a nice crisp straight line in between the grass and the driveway, with the grass pile standing about 2 inches above the concrete. It s beautiful! I get so many compliments about that edging! I talk to Teresa in the office about once a week, and she is a sweetheart! Kris and the whole staff is like family and they do back flips for their customers! LOVE, LOVE Grass King!

Terrible service. Much of my backyard was destroyed after they provided lawn service all winter. When I contacted the owner, he immediately said it wasnt his fault....never asked for pictures, never offered to come look at my lawn, just said it wasnt his fault. Exchanged correspondence for all a week, no resolution was offered by Kris Dorsey...his was response was I never asked for anything .According to him, I should have provided pictures (which I ultimately did), asked him to come and see my yard and td him I wanted a solution and what is was to be...I did tell him I expected not to be billed for the month of May for the terrible service and the mess he left me to clean up and his response was your account is current and you wont be billed again until its due....mind you, we had been their customers for several years. The bottom line is Grass Kings customer service is lacking. Upon my first contact with you, your response was its not my fault...a conclusion you reached without looking at my yard or even a picture of my yard. My second email, I received the same response its not my fault. I never stated I had cleaned up the problem areas, I stated I had spent 2 days cleaning my back yard but there was more to do. I offered a reasonable solution, to not be billed for a month - you stated youve already been billed. At no time did you make any effort to investigate what was going on, you simply offered your opinion which was, not my fault. Apparently its just a coincidence that the one winter we actually had you service our yard, over a 1/3 of our backyard grass didnt grow back. In all the previous years when we did not have you service our back yard, it grew back fine.

Teresa is very rude and poor customer service skills. Be careful calling.

The crews have damaged my fence several times and destroyed my water hose caddy. They said it would be fixed or replaced a year ago. They have not kept their word. Owner was rude and blamed me in an email.

January 23, 2019

Poor quality, owners don t care Broken sprinklers all the time. If you want crappy work and service along with being told to fix it yourself, then call these slackers. They are terrible.

January 23, 2018

I just called to see about having them come out to give me a quote on some work. The first question they asked me was if I was looking for an ongoing service. I responded that I didnt know yet. The man on the phone implied that I go somewhere else if that was the case due to being so busy with already established clients. I have no idea what kind of a business model that is but good luck with that. I hope someone like me reads this before calling. Sometimes I feel like I cant even make this stuff up

January 23, 2018

We stopped working with them because every time they missed service we called them and they said they cut the grass in the wrong house and we still got charged for supposedly cutting someones grass. It happened more than once. They never give us they money back. So we decided to not pay for cutting someone elses yard. Sorry but apologizing doesnt cut our yard. They also damaged our sprinkler lids and also the back entrace mat.

THE WORST lawn service Ive EVER had!!! I can not believe how bad they cut my lawn!! First of all, the lady on the phone assured me their guys would use an edger to edge. Not a weed eater. But no. They used a weed eater any ways. Looks terrible as youll see in the photos Ill post. Next, they use a zero turn mower and tore up the grass at every turn as youll see in the pics Ill post. AND they didnt even finish their butchery. Left the lawn only 1/3 mowed. I thought maybe they ran out gas and would return, but no. The mower they used cuts uneven. The weed eater guy chopped the grass down to the dirt. So they called me to see how I like the service. Well, you can guess how that conversation went

They do a great job, except that they dont always do what was agreed upon when I signed up for their services. If I am not here when they arrive, parts of my lawn do not get done. Part of this is caused because I think the crews are not always the same guys. My house is new to them every time they arrive. It is very frustrating.

Pretty straight forward with pricing for different services. I have always been able to communicate with them through email for any questions or adjustments that needed to be made and they have always gotten back to me within the same day. They will communicate to you if they are running behind for your given lawn care day which is nice to know and something rare for a business to communicate as much as they do to their customers. My lawn care day is on Tuesdays and I always come home to a nicely cut lawn both front and back and have only needed to explain to them once what all I wanted done. They also trim my front bushes when they need it so I never has to worry about that.

Kris and his crew have been wonderful. I have had them many many years! They work with you to accommodate your needs, and Kris replies quickly to email requests. When it rains, they inform you when they will be out if they cant make it. I have a pool and there is always very little if any grass debris after they cut the yard. I am really pleased with Kris and his crew!

Grass King has always been exemplary in the services it has delivered. I can truly say that when Ive sent an email, asked for a change of date, requested a lower/higher cut on grass for the backyard, etc that Grass King responds in a timely manner. I also appreciate when theyve had difficulties, as weve had rain storm after rain storm this year, that they send us an email notifying us that they are behind. On one occasion, they ran over one of our sprinklers that had stayed up instead of dropping down after watering the yard. I advised Grass King and they took care of it. They have a great team and their service is something I never have to worry about. As a homeowner, I heartily recommend their service above others.

So much better and professional than my last one. Grass is like a carpet, beautiful. They are on time, go right to work, know what they are doing, and leave with a great clean edging and clean up. They change direction every time they cut and I think that make the grass grow better. I didnt ask for that, they just do it. Did I mention that they charge less than my last servicer. So lets see. Lower price and better service and performance. No, Im not related. Never met the owners. I am just a satisfied customer.
