I signed up with this company July 23, 2024. Was told by Isaac W that this was his route and had been with the company for many years. He takes care of the grass and his boss William S does all the tree and shrub care. They will be the 2 main people caring for our lawn. I thought that was great bc they get to "know" our lawn as they say it takes a year to see results of different treatments etc. On Tues 10/15 at 2:19pm I got a text that Emanuel B had arrived at my home to do a service. I opened the front door, took a photo at 2:20pm for proof that no one from the company was here. I then called the company to inform them what was happening and as I was on hold I watched a Truegreen truck slowly drive past my property. I live on a cut-de-sac and thought, hum that's weird, so he drove down to it and had to pass by my house again in order to leave our neighborhood. While on the phone with Truegreen Opelika customer service at 2:25pm I got a text stating that the service had been completed and then I got a full charge notification on my credit card for a service that clearly didn't happen. The rep on the phone apologized and refunded 1/2 of the charge that was not done and rescheduled for the service to be completed the next day. I told her I do not want Emanuel B to ever come to my home again bc he's not trustworthy and if he's a lier what says he isn't a thief ? I politely asked the customer service rep to escalate this issue and I am requesting to speak to Emanuel B's supervisor/manager regarding this bc clearly there needs to be an investigation done. If he's done this to me who is to say he hasn't been doing this to other customers ?? They said they will have someone call me. As of today 10/21, I still have not heard 1 word from his supervisor/manager. I have had 2 customer service people call on 10/16, one lady was just apologizing and the 2nd call was to tell me that Emanuel B was coming out the next day to provide the service. Again, had to remind her there should be a note on my account I do Not want him coming to my home for anything. One rep said Emanuel B must have serviced the wrong yard - Nope not a chance since I saw him driving down my street after he notified his company and me that he was here. Another 1 said he musta had trouble finding your house - Nope very hard to believe when he supposedly has been here multiple times in the past as per the text notifications. I am now having our security team rewind our footage of every time someone from this company has notified us they were coming here and charged my cc for performing a service to make sure this hasn't happened before. Communication is key and it is something that is SO EASY to do. If Emanuel B made a mistake and communicated it that day to his boss, cool no problem. However for a week to go by and no one has called me to follow up with what happened, shows just how much this company cares about their customers. Furthermore ~ to whomever responds to these google reviews and asks the customer to "email review to" blah blah blah ~ For what the customer has already been through, YOU should be actively reaching out to us and cleaning up your mess. The amount of time Ive taken out of my day just to write this is enough. Ya Need To DO BETTER !
Young man was helpful, but said I only have tree and shrub services listed. I should only have lawn service. Something is wrong.
This company is a complete fraud. I received texts stating servicer enroute, and services completed. No one ever showed up! Received an invoice for the service and was charged. The weeds in the lawn (primary concern, got worse after allegedly three weed treatments. This is so very disappointing. Our lawn looked worse (HOA) so had to have the weeds pulled. I could go on and on. Please do your due diligence before hiring this company.
This company does not provide a price quote in writing. Cannot do business with someone who does not provide pricing, with terms, in writing. 3 representatives were all rude once asked for a list of services along with pricing. Tried various silly tactics like quoting prices in the 10s of thousands, saying their services are too expensive for me anyway, and prices were only guaranteed if I signed up right now. No other company I called hesitated to provide a quote, and none of them used negging or pressure sales tactics. I would not waste your time calling this business.
I have a half acre front yard and thought it would be better to let someone else handle the hard part. What I found so far is they are awesome until they aren't. We have been using their service for about 4 months. Their phone customer service is subpar at best. When call to ask about when my service would be completed, they said someone had already come. They hadn't, the representative said oh you are correct, one has been yet". There has been zero change in my lawn from day 1 to 4 months later. The tech they sent out seemed like it was his first day on the job. I had to pull information out of him and to be honest he told me something I could have just asked Google but I paid this company so the least they could do was seem like they wanted to be there. On the door tag that he handed me said he knocked on the door and no one was home?! Bare in mind he typed this while I was standing less than 20 feet away from him. Hopefully, I will be able to update my review as the time goes on.
I am writing this review to express my extreme disappointment with TruGreen, a lawn care company that has failed to provide satisfactory service. Despite being a loyal customer for several years, our recent experiences have been nothing short of frustrating and infuriating. Allow me to share my grievances and shed light on the unprofessional conduct of this company. Negligent Service: On not just one, but two occasions within a week's time, a TruGreen representative arrived at my property and treated my NEIGHBOR'S lawns instead of mine. This error occurred despite our repeated calls to their customer service department, which I reached out to several times to rectify the issue. It is unacceptable that after clearly explaining the problem, they still failed to ensure the correct treatment was administered to my lawn. Inconsistent and Incomplete Treatments: Ever since TruGreen became part of a corporate entity, the quality of their service has plummeted. Whenever it is time for a scheduled treatment (for which we have already prepaid), there is always some kind of issue. They fail to treat the entire property we have contracted and paid for, leaving parts of our lawn untouched, or they treat only a fraction of the area, neglecting the sides and back yard. This level of inconsistency and negligence is completely unacceptable. Inadequate Attention to Detail: Despite having prominently displayed large metal house numbers clearly visible from the street, TruGreen consistently fails to locate and treat my property accurately. This lack of attention to detail demonstrates a complete disregard for their customers and a failure to meet even the most basic expectations. After living in the same house for over eleven years without any previous issues, it is disheartening to see the decline in TruGreen's ability to properly service their clients. Poor Customer Service and Lack of Accountability: Throughout this ordeal, our attempts to seek resolution and communicate our dissatisfaction have been met with passive statements and a lack of initiative from TruGreen's customer service team. Rather than proactively finding solutions or making genuine efforts to rectify their mistakes, they offer shallow apologies and fail to take any quick or meaningful action (simplying reading to us that a representative came by today, evaluated our lawn, and reported to TruGreen that "the lawn looked great" [please reference the photo for the evidence of our lawn which is yet to be treated]). It is clear that customer satisfaction is not a priority for this company. Our experiences with TruGreen lately have been a complete disappointment. Their negligence, inconsistent treatments, lack of attention to detail, and poor customer service have left us frustrated and disillusioned. We can no longer recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable and professional lawn care. It is disheartening to witness the decline of a once reputable company especially when their business would be so profitable in our suburb, which is a new construction, growing neighborhood with new neighbors (yielding more business opportunities) continuously moving in and asking for recommendations.
I have been using TruGreen for many years now, but over the last few years my yard continues to get more and more weeds while my neighbors with other services have fewer and fewer. We have complained in the past and a re-treatment was done though its effectiveness was not clear. I don't want to have to complain regularly so will just switch to the company my neighbor uses.
Great
Job was completed without disturbing me...
Isaac W was very nice and explained what he was doing to our lawn.
Very nice, well mannered young man. Showed him another problem area and he treated it also.
Antavious was very kind & informative on what his service consisted of. Thanks so much!!
Answered all questions and serviced every area asked to spray!!!! Very professional!!!
Great job smart technician
Devon did a very good job of applying fertilizer and weed control to my yard this morning. It was equally distributed throughout entire yard and all areas were well covered
Very nice representative, very pleased!
Effectively assess and address my needs.
Nice, respectful and attentive young man. Answered all my questions.
Timely arrivals. Great tracking system. The grass is not so good right now in the backyard there are ants everywhere. We have had True green for many years.
Many thanks for the great service.
Always friendly, quick and ready to answer any questions. Will come back if any problems to discuss solutions and accomo.
Spoke with tech who supplied all the information about todays treatment .
Always prompt and efficient. Thank you True Green!
Emmanuel was very professional and polite.
Our tech Emanuel did a great job today.
Arrived on time. Explained what he was going to do and did an excellent job. Area left as clean or cleaner when he left.
Very nice, polite and informative ! Explained the treatment today as well as the previous treatment.
Theyre scheduling, and only letting clients know the morning of service is why I will no longer be using TruGreen. Also, weeds kept appearing in the yard... thought thats what I had them to prevent, so, so long TruGreen.
Easy process to setup yearly appointments and the service was done as scheduled. Easy tracking of appointments before and afterwards too!
Austin M is a great technician and great representative of Trugreen.
ISAAC WAS VER THOROUGH AND EXPLAINED WHAT HE DID VERY WELL TO ME
Austin, did excellent work! He did an excellent job answering all my questions!
ANATAVIOUS A was great, responsive and thorough in answering my questions!
Mario R is the absolute best service rep I ve ever met with TruGreen. He knock before and after the service, showed concerned for our lawn, and took ownership of his work. If possible, I d like Mario assigned to our account.
Very helpful and polite. Good job
They do not apply enough product nor cover the full areas. Simply being paid for a service that is not being fully provided.
Great group of guys to do business with !!!
On time excellent service
Zachary was so nice and listened to me.
Job well done!
Good work and very professional and personable
Scammed us always sent text messages that they completed a service when in fact they didn t show up. Luckily I had stayed home today and caught them red handed. I m going to need a full refund.
Have had problems with getting my yard properly treated for Dallas Grass. Daniel Browder is my new consultant, came to my house to evaluate my concerns and has made good on his promises to take care of my needs. He actually listens to my concerns!
Richard T did a great job listening to me about the other yards a spraying where my problem areas were the worst . He made me feel like my business with TruGreen was appreciated Thanks, Chad
Tech Jameson did a great job today,very knowledgeable and dedicated to the task
Today Bradley Hughes treated my lawn. I was totally pleased with his service. Very helpful, informative and polite in helping me to understand todays treatment and my part.
The specialist showed concern about my problem. He walked my yard with me as I pointed out to him why I contact TruGreen as often as I do. He acknowledged that I do have a serious problem with broadleaf weeds. My yard was professionally cut on 7/25 and those weeds have already grown above the grass. I truly appreciate the specialist explaining what he was using to combat the problem. Hopefully after at least 10 days I will see a difference.
My yard was treated today with fertilizer. I have over 5200sqft that is suppose to be serviced. The technician only spread fertilizer down in the front. I called and canceled my service today.
Four callbacks and still have weeds!!
Horrible!!!!
The only problem is that I have a poison ivy growing at my side door step and I have not been able to point it out to the agent for it to be taken care of.
TruGreen is the best lawn care provider that I have found.
Highly recommend!
Technician was friendly and helpful. Not his fault, but we have had weeds in our lawn all year.
The service guy was very nice and informative about the shrubs and why he was having to spray them. He also told me some things that I need to do as well to maintain healthy shrubs.
Yard is looking healthy. I use yall at another home. Both are beautiful.
Anatavious was so nice and patient with my questions. He did a very good job on spraying.
Austin did a great job. Super nice young man.
Emanuel checked in when he arrived, explained what he was spraying for, went right to work spraying whole yard, notified me he was done and ask if I would rate his service! I am totally satisfied with the service today! Seamless!! Thanks!
Emanuel was courteous and professional, and he did a great job with our lawn treatment today!
I had a positive experience ....
We loved our technician Antonio. He knew where to spray was very polite and did a great job
Antonio C before he started the lawn treatment answered lawn care concerns of mine. He was courteous and professional. I was pleased with his services.
Very friendly and straight to the point
Emmanuel was very polite and professional
It is disgusting and disappointing. I reported this two more times and yet it happens again. The specialist came to the door, rang the bell and when noticed nobody is home, he just left a note that did the work without doing anything. I have cameras all around. This is happening repeatedly, and it seems they have no willingness or control to clean their corrupt office. This time I am going to post it to all my social media and warn people, not to deal with this company. I am also canceling all my services. We are tired of this.
Service tech put tag on door and didn t do absolutely nothing but left, didn t do no work at all.
Very professional... always call before coming. Thanks for a king our yard green again.
Always trying to sell me another product, but cant keep it simple and win the no weeds - green grass game . 4 years and past 2 years has been terrible. Sad to see the company go down hill so fast. Back yard not treated as well as front. Side yard not as well as front. Always an issue. 4 years is long enough, I will find another company.
We signed up with TruGreen to fertilize and control weeds. Based on the lack of results, I dont think they bothered to fertilize or control weeds. I called them several times and all I got was a song and dance about why we still had weeds and the grass wasnt getting any better. i was even told it could take up to two years with their service to see results. Sounds like a lot of BS to me. The only thing positive I have to say is the lady we spoke to was very nice and she assured me the problems would be corrected. She said if we were not satisfied all we had to do was call and the situation would be corrected. I tried that but after waiting over a half hour to get an answer my complaints fell on deaf ears. Well, better results didnt happen and it doesnt appear TruGreen has the capability or desire to provide the service they are selling. I am truly disappointed by TruGreen. The only reason they got one star was because I cant post with zero. Dont fall for TruGreens advertisements. You are throwing you money away if you deal with TruGreen.
They have the most frustrating customer service I ve ever encountered. One of their team members serviced our yard meant for a neighbors yard. I ve been trying to reach them for over a week to let them know. The answering service has you on hold for hours with no answer. Today I selected the option to get a quote or sign up for a new account and I was out right though. Unfortunately, she put me through to customer service and here I am waiting again. I m just going to let me neighbor know and hopefully they have a direct line
You pay a lot of money with Trugreen up front and so far I have had them leave a note on my door stating that service could not be performed even though someone was home all day and a door bell didn t ring. They reschedule and say they are on the way and at 7pm we get a notification that service can t be performed after waiting all day. I feel like I paid a lot of money and got scammed. Just recently they charged over 200 dollars for ants and have yet to show. Biggest rip off ever.
just watch TruGreen on my camera just bill me for a job that wasnt done.
We have used TruGreen for a year now and my lawn looks worse now than it did before. We even had an instance where my husband was home and watched the worker only do HALF our yard and leave. I was also told when i signed up we would receive treatments on dead spots of grass and that never happened, canceled mine today.
I was home and saw the technician only treat a small part of my back yard. Our lawn has increasing amounts of weeds and does not look healthy. Their service is not as good as it used to be-at our prior residence (3 years ago) they did a great job and our lawn looked very healthy. Not sure what has changed.
Been using these guys for several months now. My front yard looks great, but my backyard speaks differently. My back yard is not being treated as yellow nutsedge is taking over. Had Truegreen been treating my backyard in previous schedules, than I might just have some randoms here and there like my front yard. Called their call center today and they wanted to wait 15 days, but I pushed them as I know for a fact the backyard is not being sprayed. They will come out in 3 days. Ill give yawl one more try, but if this keeps up Im going with southern lawn!
This company is a Big rip off. They are unreliable and don t do what they are paid to do. I paid for weed control and ended up having to do my own because they weren t doing it. When they would show up they would spend less than 5 mins spraying. Of course nothing was happening, my yard was just filling up with weeds. That s when I decided to just do my own which I wished I had done to begin with and saved my money and not paid them to do nothing. They ll schedule appointments and not show up. It doesn t matter if you call and talk to someone about it, it goes nowhere. I would advice anyone, when looking for lawn service DO NOT choose Trugreen!! I tried to give them a chance but they still have disappointed time after time. These ratings really do mean something..beware!!
Very good company
Dude just sat at the end of my driveway for 45 minutes and never got out of the truck. Then we get a message saying our yard service was completed. This is pure fraud.
I believe plants were damaged by inattention to their work. My garden was left open twice which ended in my dog getting outside of the yard. Felt in the beginning several years ago service was better but declined in the last few years. Too busy listening to their phones or music or something while they are working.
Tommy is the best guy here!
This business lost my trust, so I canceled my service. For the past two supposed applications, I ve had no evidence that anyone even came to my property. The specialist twice wrote in his digital service summaries that he knocked on my door, but I know that s not true because I would ve seen it on my doorbell camera. On top of that, the last text message saying my service was complete came only four minutes after the text letting me know the specialist arrived. You can t even walk the length of our front and back yards in that short a time, let alone apply treatment properly. Plus, I noticed no reduction in weeds.
I am giving 4 stars because my yard looks just like it did last year when they first started coming. They get 4 stars because of the customer service I received when I complained. Ive had several concerns that I complained about but when talking to management they always make me feel they are listening and will correct the problem. Problem #1. Workers were going to wrong home providing services( I have a camera surrounding entire house and inside, so I see everything). Problem #2. 2 different services being performed same day( not acceptable to me). Performing services when my yard was flooding and all my fertilizer going to neighbor yard, but through it all they would call and try to fix my concerns and even explaining the reasoning for treatments during storms and floods( didnt make sense though). If my yard looks good by spring/summer will give them 5 stars. They do try.
Horrible. They missed a paid for application last fall. And they were late with my first pre Emergent this winter.. Bad for business TruGreen
I have cameras at my house. I have called a total of 4 times about them not treating my entire lawn and on occasion not treating anything at all but saying they did. Everytime they send out a free service call..which does the same thing all over again.
Been a pre paid full year customer since 2013 i have no idea what happened or change in the last 18 month, something major did because they are absolutely terrible now. I had to call every month for re sprays and they would skip whole areas of my yard. Its a shame. They used to be great you could call and get the local office and the actual sprayed stuff that killed weeds.... now My yard is full of weeds. I dont know who to use, ive always used them. I even bought their service as a gift for my sister they have sprayed 3 times and her yard is full of broad leaf weeds... i mean i could buy from lowes 2-4d and it would kill these weeds and tru green cant? Terrible. Id post pics if google would allow it or i knew how.
My grass looks worse than it did when they started. I paid for a years service. Kill the weeds get rid of goosegrass.....I still have both. I have more than what I started with not to mention several dead spots that looked great before hand. You have to CALL to cancel. You cant stop them from coming and billing you any other way. Just pass it isnt worth it!
This has been very frustrating trying to talk with someone to handle a problem. Apparently everything gets funneled to a corporate or answering service. The best I could do was schedule a day, but not even AM or PM, so now I have other appt hanging
I just canceled my service with them... theyre terrible and i can do better than them myself... called to get my yard resprayed and the lady i talked to had an attitude.. she almost got herself cursed out. Go to lowes and do it yourself..
They do not do what they say they will. I reported a problem with my yard, they sent someone out. According to the ticket he left he spent 4 minutes surveying my yard and determined that I needed top soil. I called to complain and they said they would send someone out to fertilize my yard the following week, that was two weeks ago and still no one. They were scheduled to do my regular yard spraying yesterday but didn t show!
I used True Green for the past three years on a brand new sodded lawn. First year was fine but after that I noticed lots of weeds and unhealthy grass. Called and scheduled agent to come assess the lawn but no one showed up at the scheduled time. I spread a bag of fertilizer on the lawn a couple of weeks ago and the lawn looks 100% better but still has weeds throughout. I would NEVER suggest anyone use the company for lawn care. Not sure what or how much fertilizer/weed killer was being applied, if any, but it DID NOT work.
I will not support this business. They are very unprofessional and rude.
Very poor service
Like most business it is the person who you deal with forms your opinion of the company Dovtavies Jones is our service person and he is polite and knows how to treat our lawn properly. Positive
Had TruGreen service for 3 years, great service, amazing results. The last year however new tech took over my account and everything went down hill. Had service done with absolutely no results, called customer service and asked to send out a tech to redo my lawn because the last application showed Zero results. Tech showed up, I came out said hello and asked if he would please do a good job to make sure to get rid of weeks that we re visiable. I came out 10 minutes later with a water to give the tech and he was gone already!! I was very upset that he didn t even spray the back yard which I pay for them to cover the entire lawn. Left a bill with no explanation. Called and cancelled service immediately and will never use them again. Sad that service went down hill so quickly.
Been with these guys 7 years. No problems. But suddenly in the past 6 months service has gone down the drain. Our yard which used to be pristine is now overrun with weeds almost to the point where it looks like we have no weed care at all! Terrible, pathetic work of late. Taking our business elsewhere.
Reliable and reasonably priced
Courteous personnel that are quick to resolve any issues that may arise. Great service.
They were very detailed about the service and showed that they cared
Would never use TruGreen again. Bought a years contract on 2/18 and prepaid, when they treated yard in 1/19 with no notification they would be coming, sent me a bill for $67 even though it was in the years timeline! Notified them I wasnt renewing service! Will be telling everyone I know and on social media NOT TO USE and will be writing to President of the Company . Never stayed very long at the house, would come sometimes and not let me know they were there and sometimes not even leave any paperwork regarding what was done. I have a dog , I dont want him going out if they just treated the lawn! Am looking for another company!
Very pleased with my first service from TruGreen Lawn Care. I live in a very rural area, with a very large yard. I had no idea TruGreen would even travel to my area, but they did, and Im thrilled with the results! Weeds are dying and grass is already looking better! My technician, Brian, was friendly, informative and professional. Highly recommend!
First year of using TruGreen. I was skeptical at first to pay money for someone to spray the lawn. However, the results have been phenomenal! Once we have the Virginia Button Weed eliminated, I will add another star. :) If the service and results continue, I will be renewing my contract for next year.
Two years of service with these guys. They cannot control the weeds and have killed half my yard with the most recent application. Very dissatisfied with this group. I have complained multiple times but no results. Going elsewhere!
Great guys, great service.
The company has a horrendous customer service model or lack thereof. The company thoroughly negated to contact a customer when a complaint is filed, there is no followup regarding any concerns or issues. I have even engaged the company at a corporate level, but could not get a response from a president, vice president or anyone. It has been over three weeks that I have been waiting for a phone call and TruGreen blatantly disregarded any form of communication with me and to be equally pragmatic - they had the audacity to withdraw money out of my account for a service that has never been performed. A technician showed up to my home for 12 seconds and drove off and said that back gate was locked. How in the hell would the back gate be locked if you are supposed to service the front yard!
I was scheduled a service from 1:00pm to 6:00pm. I was wait to 6:00 pm and still didn t see anybody coming.
I would recommend that no one has service with Truegreen, I told them up front I have cameras and they should make sure they perform the service Im paying for. 3 times now they show up and sit in the truck and leave and say they performed the service, or they do one side and leave. Either way they have never one time completed the entire yard. I told them how can you expect me to trust you if your people dont do their job. From what I have gathered this must be the direction from the management because 3 different employees did the exact same thing. Beware beware.
Im a Soldier and needed them to take care of my yard due to me being gone quite often. They almost killed a brand new yard full of sod. I prepaid for a year in advance and started complaining about halfway thru the contract. They were only fertilizing about half my yard and when called out on it, the tech came out and was rude to my wife (I wasnt home) and said he wasnt going to do it again. They called regularly (biweekly) to try to sell more products regardless of how unhappy I was. When I tried to cancel the service they told me they werent giving a refund. I would recommend a $60 bag of weed and feed every two months over this company who could care less about bad service and product. To think I was trusting them while I was away. How many times did they come and do nothing claim they did something. Oh my sod is fill of weeds and outgrowing the grass now.
We have been with TrueGreen of Opelika for over 12 years at this location. We have had decent service over the years until now. Last year we started noticing a lot of weeds in our back yard. Now the weeds are taking over our front yard even though we have had continued service from this provider. We have requested them to retreat a few times but it does not seem to help. We are looking for a new company.
This is the worst company I have ever paid to get scammed out of money!!! They were charging me to do front and back yard. They put on the receipt that they had done the back yard but security cameras dont lie! I complained multiple times and the call center just beats around the bush you can never get in contact with the same person! They lie and taken my money by deception! Worst business. Now not all are the same the Columbus trugreen I have heard is good bUT this one sucks
I have been a Trugreen customer since 2012 and have never had a problem until this year. Ever since they were bought out in our area, our service has been horrible! 1) I had to ask our guy to treat our weeds. That is one of the reasons we use them. 2) They raised the price of our plan, but adjusted it to $2 over what we used to pay. 3) They raised it for this last pay period with no warning. I called and they lowered again, but when I called today to find out why it was still listed at the incorrect price, I was told that I would have to pay that amount. Also, that I was getting my quoted price ONLY for the next 2 treatments. THE KICKER... we noticed that we had army worms in our backyard yesterday afternoon. We called, had the runaround and were told that a ticket was being put in. 4) Today, Friday, August 31st I called to see when they would be coming by. I was told that they could come either Wednesday or Thursday of next week to treat the army worms. Seriously? By then our complete yard will be destroyed and so will our 2 neighbors yards. When this was a private business, they would have sent someone out the same day. All I have to say is steer clear of this company and find one that cares about their customers and does their job!
I am switching. Service is lacking.
