In their website they mention a visit of a specialist that never showed up. They estimate and give you a pre-defined plan based on satellite pictures. After several complaints it was promised the visit of a manager/specialist for 3 times that never happened. The weed control service done were sloppy to the point that had to be done again. One time the service was done in my neighbor’s yard. My backyard is still full of brown patches. The front lawn is satisfactory. I don’t recommend this company.
I appreciated that Sasha said she would make a note for all Tru-Green technicians. The only gate to access the backyard is the one on the left looking at the house. The one on the right is not accessible. I also appreciate that she made sure the gate was correctly latched when she departed. Thank you.
Trugreen of Sterling, VA has lost my residential lawn care business after being a customer of about 10 years because I cannot trust that the service staff from this branch will actually perform the service that they claim to provide and that they bill for. Twice over this current summer, I have been invoiced for services which were not performed (one requiring a free "revisit" and another due to a claim of "going to the wrong house"). In each of these cases, local staff members acknowledged these "mistakes" and offered corrective action. In the first instance, I accepted the free "revisit" corrective action, but when the second "mistake" occurred, I refused the offered corrective service and cancelled my account with Trugreen. Additionally, I have serious doubts that some other service visits claimed and billed by this branch (which I have paid for) have actually been performed. Sometimes, no flag or other evidence of completed services has been left in the yard. Other times, I have been at home when services were supposedly provided, but no one knocked at my door or was seen servicing the yard by neighbors working outside with views of our yard. On one occasion, a local Trugreen manager noticed in the company's tracking system that a truck drove by my home briefly (to plant a flag which I found) but did not stop long enough to perform lawn care services for the yard. That system recorded evidence was enough to get me the free "revisit" referenced above. In sum, no more Trugreen service for me, and I do not recommend using this branch of Trugreen for residential lawn care service in the Northern VA area. I would give this business a "0" rating if I could, but a "1" is the best I can do with Google reviews to get this review registered.
Update: I hate to complain about a recent service experience with TruGreen but this has left me extremely dissatisfied. Background: Initially, I was pleased with the quality of TruGreen's services. However, my last interaction with your company was problematic. During this visit, I asked the technician to ensure he addressed a strip of lawn that had been missed during his previous application. Incident Details: The technician responded aggressively, telling me not to instruct him on his job. This response was unprofessional and uncalled for. Despite my concern being straightforward, the technician proceeded to leave without completing the service. He also used offensive language towards me during the interaction. I was charged for a service that was not fully performed. I have attempted to resolve this by contesting the service charge but have yet to receive a satisfactory resolution. update Outcome: Completion of Service: Arrange for another technician to complete the service as initially requested. After about 60 days and filing a complaint with the better business bureau they provided me a full refund for the incomplete service. I hope they investigate the technician’s behavior and take appropriate measures to ensure that such unprofessional conduct does not occur again.
I had my lawn aerated and top seeded. The technicians were polite, friendly and thorough. They didn't help clean off the sidewalk though after. Also, I didn't get to pick dates or times after I requested the service. I just got a text yesterday that they were coming today, and then a text at 0730 that they would be here soon. I'd still recommend the service and value but better customer coordination and then better clean up be the crew would be beneficial.
We're had this service for five years and though we are happy with the shrub service (hence the stars) we are not happy with the lawn service. We have brown patchy spots everywhere. Update: pictures from this morning added. These are after five years of continuous service. Update to response: We have spent 5K for this service over 5 years. If you can offer service at no charge until our lawn is lush and green, we'd be happy to keep TruGreen, but five years of us paying for a promised lush green lawn, and still having crabgrass and brown patches at our expense is not acceptable.
The careless TruGreen guys dug up our lawn in an aeration service, in a very sloppy and hurried manner. Last year the aeration was fine but this year it is a disaster. This is not acceptable and is the last time TruGreen ever did aeration on our property. Jordan and his crew also punched a hole in our sump pump plumbing outlet cover, which is big enough that anyone who cares would not have trampled over it with an aerator. Obviously. these guys don't know how to use this machine. A local manager was supposed to call me to discuss within 1-2 days but I guess nobody wants to take ownership or responsibility of the problem and damage done. To top it all off, they double charged me, once when I prepaid and once more after the service. Sloppiness, carelessness and lack of responsibility or professionalism. Last week TruGreen guy comes at 7:20 AM and.leaves without knocking, ringing bell or calling. No advance notice. Nothing got accomplished, empty service record online with the same lame rationale "I didn't knock as a Covid precaution". But the "technicians" worked the aerator, didn't bother to wear a mask or even ask about it, even though I was wearing one the whole time.
Do your best to avoid this company. Paid about $300 for weed control and overseeding. Nothing has been done maybe got worse. 1st contact with Customer service, I was told that someone will come over to take care of it, no one showed up. 2nd try requests refund, I was told I will be contacted by manager, no one contacted me nor refund. Just sick
I gave Joseph a 4 because I didn t see the granular fertilizer he put on my lawn. I barely see some. Could it be due to the fact that True Green didn t supply him enough fertilizer for my lawn or he was given a standard amount like one size fits all portion that caused him to minimize the coverage area ? I barely see the granular fertilizer in a lot of the areas. My vision is almost 20-20. That is my observation.
Great job
I ve used TruGreen for over three years. We did a lot of work to improve the drainage on the property, as well as multiple seasons of overseeding and fertilizer. Now I have an amazingly lush, green and weed free lawn and shrubs. Takes a few years for all of this stuff to work, but sooooo worth it!
Kevin did a great job arrogating and over-seeding our yard.
Saul completed a fertilization treatment on my lawn today. He did a very thorough job applying the fertilizer to all lawn areas, even the small ones. Thanks.
The did a thorough and really good job. Thank you truegreen
Great job aerating and over-seeding today.
Very helpful and professional!
My technician, Jacob, did a great job with my lawn aeration. A very thorough job.
Your drivers are ignorant and care about no ones safety. Would definitely never use your service.
Good results excellent staff.I specifically want to thank the young man today who did my lawn. Professional. Engaging and helped me learn how to improve my results I would be proud of an employee like him. 5/25/2023. Awesome dude
Michael V did an excellent job! I also asked him to avoid spraying bushes that had bumblebees that were pollinating! He said that is something they always do!
The first couple technicians I purposely went out and talked to. They were knowledgeable, happy to give advice, polite, and presented themselves in a professional manner! As our service continued through the summer, I did catch a couple of technicians that arrived at my house and either worked on only the front lawn and not the back or did nothing at all, other than hang the service report on my door knob. When I called customer service to complain, I was told another tech would come out and perform the service application. That never happened for any of my service complaints. My wife and I both work from home and we have a dog. I knew when they arrived and I would keep an eye on them from inside my home. So I would see where on my property the techs would go and what they were doing. With the garage doors closed, the techs probably had no idea anyone was home.
The technician Kyle E. did a thorough job on my lawn today. He was polite, pleasant and customer oriented. Thank you! Hope Kyle will come back to take care of my lawn again.
Jose Core was on point with my TruGreen Service. I want him to treat my lawn moving forward.
Thanks so much, Rigoberto for listening, answering questions and giving the entire property we walked a complete treatment. Wish we got you as a tech everytime. Thanks so much as well as Trugreens follow up on my concerns and retreating the yard. Great follow up service for customer satisfaction!
Very experienced clerk/agent
I used this company 3 years but still so much weeds, waite my money
TrueGreen team were very helpful and professional, thats why I have been relying on them for over 20 years and saves us a lot of time and my back.
TruGreen Tree & Shrub service offers a detailed report of shrub/tree conditions. My TruGreen specialist is very professional in every way. I have been using their service for several years and completely satisfied.
DARVON, B , Tru Green specialist performed our only 4th tru green lawn service ( we are new customers ) , and I have to say he s most considerate/took time to explain service rendered today. Extremely professional & made my wife & I feel very glad to have tru green as our new lawn maintenance company. Thank you!!
Always happy with True Green. Our yard looks beautiful!!!
Great service. Always on time and very informative
Sa id did a great job today!
Service has been good so far
Very professional and knowledgeable. On time service. Well Done!
Expertly and informatively performed service as always.
As always, TruGreen called me a couple of days before the service to tell me when they will be coming to do the service. The technician Christopher Bayless came on time , Informed what he will be doing. He was professional and courteous. Left me a note about what he did and what he observed. TRUGREEN App is superb ! Very easy to use and has good information regarding past services and upcoming ones based on the plan I signed for. Good Job TruGreen by using technology and developed an App that run on iPhone and other mobile devices. Having a phone App will show that you meet clients demands and make it easier to acquire and pay for services. Thanks again for being a customer centric company using technology to make your services more effective and gaining customers satisfaction at the same time.
Jack provided excellent service
Brian D is as very friendly and thorough
Very reliable service
They adjusted my service as I am growing some trees at the moment, so I want specific areas treated so that the trees can get established. Have had the service for a number of years and it is great!
Marjoseline explained the work to be done and why some plants are not treated. Thank you.
The team showed up on time and were very polite. They moved my kids toys to the patio before starting treatment. When they were done with the backyard they made sure that the gate locked. This is our second full year with TruGreen. Before working with them my yard was mainly weeds and looked horrible no matter what I did. Now the lawn is a nice dark green with a random weed here or there. It really stands out compared to my neighbors yards. Still a work in progress but already looks totally transformed.
Satisfied
Ive had issues with Trugreens service reps for over a year. - I watched the service reps progress in their online tool as it came closer to my house. The online tool showed the truck stopped at a neighbors house, then when the truck pulled away I got a notice that my service was complete! - They rarely leave the Trugreen was here marker in the yard. - The online report always says they knocked on my door, or sorry I missed you but I heard no knock and saw no truck. - Basically, I think they are frequently servicing a neighbors yard and not mine or not providing any service to anyone.
Thanks to Stephen on the great work and helpful conversation pre/post service. 10/10 in my book!
Outstanding
First service was very good. Tech was knowledgeable and professional. I had no problems
He explained well about what he is about to perform and give us good suggestions about what to expect next. He is very knowledgeable and nice.
TruGreen s annual program is the most easy yet complete lawn service program we had so far. Highly recommend.
Good service.
Very pleased to date with Jason and office staff in Sterling @ yard care. Jason (on site service) is very knowledgeable and helpful in addressing any questions and or concerns!
Tech Damien did a great job. Highly recommend
They give a local number but it is transferred to corporate. When you reach customer service that rep cannot tell you who your local franchise operator is or give you their number. I put my account on hold after I saw the service tech running across my lawn as he applied the material. I was told my account was on hold but I returned from vacation to find they serviced my property I called for a refund but was told my account was not on hold -- even though there was a record of my call. Gross incompetence and mentality of senior leadership to prevent customers from being able to chat with the local office is bewildering. Pick another vendor!!!
I love TruGreen. All of their techs are pleasant and easy to talk with and TruGreen makes it so much easier to have a nice lawn with so much less physical work, for the same price. I previously spent so much money on weed control and fertilizer and worked so hard . My yard looks so much better now and I am putting maybe 25% of the work that I previously did, L still rake leaves and to dethatch the lawn.
I spoke with Dion and also the manager that came out a couple of days ago, I believe his name is Jeff. Jeff communicated what was supposed to be done to Dion. Jeff stated the aeration had not been set up yet, but he would let me know. Dion did a good job and was helpful and explained the service he was about to perform.
Gentleman was very nice. Rang doorbell to let me know he was here to do the lawn. My only concern was he didn t sign nor date the slip he left on the door.
Love TruGreen -- my lawn is finally beautiful and green, thanks to TruGreen!!
Happily using TruGreen for many years for lawn, tree/shrub service. Technician Jason S. has great customer focus and expertly performs lawn treatment service.
TruGreen provides excellent lawncare; I have had them now for over 10 years. Recommend them highly!!
Jason came to our door to ask if we had any questions. We were pleased he took the time to check with us. We have an odd lot line so I wanted to make sure that he got our whole yard. He hadn t, but he very willingly went back and did it. We appreciated his level of care.
Good work and TruGreen is willing to work with customers to remedy issues.
I am very happy with TruGreen. They are very thorough and if for some reason I am not satisfied, they will come back and gladly resolve the issue. As a Retired person on a fixed income, they make sure to provide me with a satisfying discount for my past service to my country and my community.
Daniel is very tentative. He explained process to me very well.
Stephan was particularly professional and efficient.
Always on time . They leave detailed notes. The technicians are always friendly and helpful.
Stephen was extremely helpful. He was a pleasure to work with and was very attentive to the treatment he provided to our lawn. Thank you Stephen!
Steven did a great job and fully explained what service he provided today. He and your other team are the reason why we use your service.
Said did good job throughly our lawns and he explained very well. Said was very nice and pleasant.
I was inquiring about Mosquito control services for my property through the website and had a call scheduled. They were fine at first, answered my questions, etc. I was given the pricing and then a better price as for the summer. I mentioned that I would need to call back once I spoke with my partner. I was trying to explain that I could text him (since he was also shopping for the same service for our yard), when she curtly said, that she would email me the contract at full price since I wasnt going to make a decision today. She said, good day and hung up. Not a fan of these sales tactics and try my best not to work with companies that insist on these behaviors to get business. If this person I spoke with had given me just one minute to text my partner, I would have purchased. The product and price given were satisfactory. The sales process was not. Thats enough for me to look elsewhere.
Grass seeding a total failure
Omar Green did a superb job of doing an early Spring fertilization of the trees and bushes in my yard. - professional and thorough in doing his job and knowledgeable and well-spoken in answering my questions.
Excellent communication on time and totally professional in all aspects
I added tree and shrub service to my TruGreen order last year when scale started invading Crape Myrtle trees. They use horticultural oil and other treatments to control insects and they fertilize the plants to keep them strong. I was really impressed by my technician who explained the whole cycle of treatment to me when she was there to do the fertilization. I also have them do the seeding/aeration/insect and weed control for our lawn. I just feel like I can count on them.
Professional technicians that arrive with all the equipment and supplies to efficiently apply treatment to lawns. Much better experience than other similar companies we have used in the area.
Wilson S was professional and friendly. He greeted me on arrival, treated my lawn, and closed the gate when he was done.
Very nice guy-Thomas M took care of our lawn today. He explained everything that he was doing and took his time by doing a careful job.
Thomas met with me and we walked the yard and he pointed out the weeds that the application would control and cautioned me to stay off the yard until the grass dries. I am pleased with the service.
Kevin P did a great job.
visit frequently for maintenance. i could not get the back yard clean of weeds and get grass going for years. within 2 years the back yard looks fantastic
They have some room for improvement. However, they have a solid product...their fertilizer, weed control combination is very good if applied by a good technician IMHO.
Brandon is very professional and knowledgeable. I loved that he knocked on my door to ask if I had any questions or concerns.
Technician was polite, thorough and swift.
Professionally communicate & services on schedule.
Have used for several years. When things go not as planned, they are responsive.
Technician (Chris R) was very thorough and professional. Even double checked to make sure gates were latched when done to make sure our dogs couldn t get out
I signed up for TruGreen service. The representative knew I did not need service until July. I told him we had not moved into our home and would not be charged for anything. Shocking they came out to the new home, without notification to a house I did not own and sprayed it. I could not schedule anything in the app. I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR A SERVICE DAY. NEVER CONFIRMED A SERVICE DAY. Never was notified they were coming. I will not be using them at all. In the end, they care about getting a customer and charging them.
Don t bother! Full of fake promises on scheduling with no follow-up. Tried on multiple occasions to have something scheduled. Supposed to happen in 7-10 days. A month later still nothing. Very quick to take your money, very slow to give it back after not providing any service.
Truegreen staff always communicate before and after each time they come. My grass is doing well.
They were on-time and let me know what they were spraying. Their customer service and app is excellent.
The company turned my lawn to much greener and better shape than before. They also miss some spots which hasn t improved. They should send a note, text or voice call before they come so you make your property accessible.
One of their drivers on Old Ox road was aggressive and rude. I was turning right at a light that had just turned red, within seconds the truck started honking at me. After I safely turned the truck peeled around me and a few others cars before swerving and cutting off another car to get to their exit. Not impressed and will never use this company.
True Green wont let you down. Our specialist is the best - very knowledgeable. We are very happy with the service.
Angela did an excellent job providing the service we requested. She is very professional, courteous and gave us very helpful advice about our lawn care.
Excellent and reliable service. Has really turned our yard ad shrubs around.
Yard now among the best in the neighborhood. Thanks... Services
The tech for my service appt showed up this morning, but upon him realizing that I wasnt at home, he decided that I didnt need a treatment. He walked around my backyard, killing time I suppose for a few minutes, before jumping back into his truck and printing a receipt for my door and putting a lawn sign down. Little does he know that I have several security camera and caught him not doing his job. As a loyal customer Im appalled that this was done. I paid for the year in advance and this is the kind of service I get?
I was particularly impressed how Michael V and his partner listened to my wants and needs. I world give double the stars if allowed! Positive
Not easy to have them Respond - Sevice is good at times, but not always - not consistent Services
I was calling to get a quote. The lady hang up on me right after I said that s not the service i was looking for. Extremely and ridiculously rule!!!
We noticed we go to the backyard and no mosquitos bothering while we are enjoying our dinner, love it!
its great! Theyre always sticking those annoying little signs in my yard so that I can throw them away.
Excellent service. Very knowledgeable technician. Took his time.
I just started
They ve kept my lawn heathy and have been very attentive when I ask questions. Their techs are proactive in helping me identify potential problem areas.
As always, TruGreen did a great job reseeding and aerating our yard.
Jason provided excellent and thorough lawn care.
Much better looking lawn than before I engaged TruGreen services!
TruGreen Specialist S.R. showed up at my house at 6:45am rang our doorbell and woke our kids up. S.R. began using a motorized blower before 7am in violation of Fairfax County Code Section 108.1-4-1
Juwan and Vic were amazing! I do not understand how they had such smiling faces and were so genuinely polite and helpful in this horrible heat! They are both such an asset to your company. Thank you!
Jason was very helpful and knowledgable. He answered all my questions and made helpful suggestions.
Good and friendly service and very knowledgeable worker.
Today s service was great had aeration and seeding done the guys did a great job I am very pleased. Thank very Victor and your assistant for a great job well done.
Trust this company and they do a good job with your lawn. Allow a year to get back a healthy and lush green lawn
He did a wonderful job. Very kind.
Excellent work, grass came up quickly.
Always on time and the specialist are ALWAYS the best. They are extremely nice, explain what they are there to do and how long it should take. Great service always!
Great experience with TruGreen!
TruGreen came again a few days later after l reported that some areas were not aerated. They did great job and thanks!
TrueGreen team very high professional team. Said, William are very professional and dedicated. Our lawn grass looks great and weeds are gone. Thank you!
I went out to introduce myself to Omar. Very nice work good man.
Great experience - responsive customer service!
Andrew did a great job . He is very conscientious. I liked the fact that he gave me an objective assessment for feedback. He is a great asset for your organization Very grateful. Sincere thanks Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Not a customer, but our neighbors are. The TruGreen truck will sit in front of our house and idle for extended amounts of time. Today they dumped all of their gear onto our lawn while unpacking and packing up. They dont respect the lawns of people that arent paying them. Not to mention them spreading chemicals on windy and rainy days.
Today I was at home and able to meet Mr Said B who performed very well and I saw him working front and back lawn so I found him an honest and excellent professional, and wish him success in his professional career.
Jason S was great. Thanks!
Courteous staff and caring , shrubs and trees are happy and thriving well
I have been loyal customer of Tru-Green for years. They re terrific. So is the mosquito service. Keep it up guys.
We have used TruGreen for over 30 years for lawn care, tree and bush care, and recently for mosquito control. TruGreen is consistent, reliable and dependable.
This company is terrible. I used their lawn treatment and aeration/seeding service for a year. They would go months at a time without showing up and then would do two services in a week. I finally cancelled the service when they tried to come and seed my lawn in December when temperatures were already below freezing. Then, the following spring I look out my window and they are back treating my lawn again. The guy was here for 10 mins and didnt even go to my backyard but still charged me $100 for the visit. When I called and told them I had cancelled the service they said the best they could do was refund 50% of the cost. This company is pathetic. No one should ever use them. Edit: I just left this same review at Better Business Bureau and saw numerous other customers that had the exact same issue. Stay away from this company.
Very Good Personable Communicator (important) Performed his service in a professional manner Services
Trugreen is quite possibly the worst company I have dealt with in years. I started using Trugreen ten months ago and our lawn has never looked worse. We paid for the Tru complete lawn service and what little grass they seeded has come through in clumps, weed control has been non existent, and grass is missing where we used to have grass. You can call and complain but good luck getting anyone on the phone who is knowledgeable as to how to get a hold of a field manager. They take six days to return your call and when they finally have someone come out, he has no idea what service level we have or what treatments have been performed. Incompetent, uncaring, and very delayed responses even when you call repeatedly.
During this year they have been very bad with their timing. Scheduled services will be delayed to extent that they will cancel a service and just move on to the next. You only get 24h notice of when the next service will occur with no info regarding what that service covers. They canceled my aeration and over seeding without informing me. When I contacted them they mentioned that we are well into the cold season and those services have stopped, so they decided to cancel them without notifying me. If they had informed me, I could have found an alternative company to have it done
I dont know where to begin with how awful my experience with TruGreen has been. The person who signed me up put down an incorrect property square footage (short by about 26,000 square feet!), and as a result, a technician came out to my property without the proper equipment (a ride on or a tractor). I called in, and the Customer support agent assured me that she adjusted the square footage in the system. Well, she didnt, because another technician came out to the property, and just like the first one, did not have the proper equipment. I then asked for a Supervisor to call me, and that did not happen. At that point I realized this company could not care less about customer service or even basic communication, and quite frankly, I dont have an extra hour a day to continue to repeat myself to TruGreens customer service team. I finally called and asked for them to cancel my account, and refund me. They cancelled, but never actually started the process to refund me, which should have been intuitive, right? Wrong. I am now fighting for a refund, and calling TruGreen daily to demand it. My next step is declaring it as fraud on my credit card if it needs to come to that. Oh, and its been about two weeks, and still no call from a Supervisor.
Been using Trugreen for several years. No issues that couldn t be resolved. Services and products work great and are effective. I love my plush PGA lawn
I love Trugreen. They were Scotts before but have carried on a great tradition.
Awful customer service. You ll be calling a call center and you can never get in touch with your home service location. The area code will lead you to believe it s a local service but it s just a call center and the call center will try to tell you everything is fine when they have no idea what your lawn looks like. I received a voicemail from my complaint and they still couldn t give me a POC or direct line to a supervisor or regional manager. I just have to wait until they call me back before I can talk to someone. Canceling my service ASAP.
Very courteous and attentive service to the areas of my yard that needed seed.
Ive used 1 year subscription service for lawn care & weed control. And it has been ended on June 2022. But they showed up on August 2022 and did that service without my agreement. Also they charged my creditcard without my permission. They just took money from my pocket!!!!!!!!!!!
The worst service that i ever had, i canceled my service they still charged my credit card and i can not reach any supervisor or manager to speak to. please stay way from this company .
What a great waste of money. We used them for 2 years full lawn service, and still enjoy a full yard or weeds and lack of grass. Great job TruGreen
Not careful when putting down grass seed
Fertilizing
I have never given any service bad review, but I cant be silent this time about my experience with truegree so to give other customers an alert. We dont deserve bad service and bad service support just because we have paid in full. This is our second year to use truegree. Last year they missed one service because they didnt perform service as scheduled so in December they still have 3 services left so they just did two almost at the same time. Upon the time of renewal I called and expressed my concern and agreed to try one more year. Even worse this year! They didnt come to provide any service between June and August until I called to schedule one. When I expressed concern about why they didnt schedule the service on time, they responded why I didnt call if I have concern! Now they scheduled over seeding service on Friday, we waited until late afternoon and no one showed up so I called in twice to see if they would come. Both times I was told they will come before 7pm, but they didnt. I called again on Saturday morning and I was told they will come before 12pm. We waited until 1pm and no one showed so I called again, I was told there is no service can be scheduled, and they will come next Tuesday. I called today Monday and they told me the service will be in next Month! I asked to talk to manager and the lady said no manager is not available and then just hang up. Worst customer service I have ever had. In addition, our lawn got much worse under their service and much more weeds now. Stay away from truegree!
From not showing up to preform service or still having the same weeds reappear.Not satisfactory experience
Tru Green has done a horrible job treating my lawn. I reported an issue with weeds in Aug. 2022. Tru Green treated the weed problem. However, the grass never turned back green as I now have bald spots and brown spots. Tru Green came back out to property to treat lawn to help turn lawn back green. However, Tru Green applied more weed killer instead of the chemical to help the lawn turn back green. Please avoid this company. The customer service is also horrible. I requested that a Senior Tech come out to my property to assess the property and recommend a plan to turn lawn back green instead the sent the same Tech out with less than 2yrs of service. The treatment plan is just to spray chemicals when the plan may call for a different service or treatment plan. I would not recommend Tru Green. I plan on trying a different company in the spring.
TruGreen is dependable. They treat our lawn to make it near golf course quality in looks. Thx TruGreen.
Great, very nice employees
My last service was conducted in July. Service was not being conducted by schedule. I called and was told a manager would contact me and I was given a service date. No one showed up and no call from a manager. I called again and was told a manager would follow-up, nothing heard. I called again, the representative told me service had been conducted. I told them it had NOT been conducted. I have a security camera that did not capture the visit, if it were conducted he would have crossed the path of the camera. They leave a placard on the lawn and a receipt in the door. I am done with TruGreen and have canceled my service. Now I am dealing with daily sales calls trying to bring me back. And still NO call from a manager. Good bye!
True Green did a spectacular job and did it Professionally
Many neighbors in my neighborhood use this service. Unfortunately my nextdoor neighbor used them today and the lawn technician blew a yards worth of leaves onto my yard, the sidewalk, and street. It is not my neighbors fault. I attempted to call two different customer service lines to get assistance. The customer service rep questioned me and said nobody had an account at the address. There was a guy in a trugreen shirt, driving a trugreen truck. I debated posting this because I do not like negative reviews on my account. But I feel like people should know. If you look in the pictures you can see a perfect straight line of where they blew the leaves in my yard and on the side walk and street. 0-10 do not recommend.
We signed up with trugreen lawn care service to be done every quarter (apparently the sales guy put it 7 service in a year) - but after servicing the lawn every 2 months they were 3 services short so decided to service all 3 in a month. One on Nov 5 and 2 on Nov 28 (one invoice for 2.13pm and another one for 2.14pm). This is a total fraud company - my mistake was to enroll in easy pay and they kept deducting the service charges. Never ever Ill sign up with Tru Green in my life.
LeMar Blanding, my specialist, was quick and detail oriented with his service.
Last year they sold me a service package for 1 year (a set of services) only on phone. They did not come frequently enough, the lawn care service was not effective with the weeds still being in equally bad condition. The next year they had the bravado to try to charge my card directly for a new service I did not sign up for. They did not do this in 2019, they seem to be heading towards bad practices by misusing customer trust. It is disappointing that what is being sold and agreed on phone is different from what they deliver and decide unilaterally to call as an agreement, without an agreement or authorization from me as a customer.
TruGreen has provided lawn service for us for few years. The main issue was that the pre emergent treatment always started very late. This year, they did first service on 3/8 after I call. Now my lawn has full of weeds.
Alex is a CON ARTIST--sold me a bill of goods and never showed up for a service. I know I am not the only one, as I have heard others in my area had the same happen today when I was at our community club house. I have been trying to cancel since I found out he was a fraud but my calls havent been returned. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!! If he doesnt respond to this review, I will publicly post his phone number.
I had a terrible experience with TruGreen in Charlotte 15 years ago but thought Id give them a try again here in NoVA as its run from a different local office. It started off bad with a fall seeding that didnt include starter fert nor timed appropriately before the first freeze. The growth this spring was way worse than in the past 5 years when I did it myself. I got a free service to come back out this spring to reseed the many dirt patches still left from the botched fall seeding. The lady was semi rude on the phone warning me that they cant do broadleaf weed control or pre-emergent which I said was fine as I can spread tenacity and they can wait for a few cuts before doing broadleaf barricade. To my surprise, they showed up today for a free service where they were to lime one side of the yard they missed but they also treated with prodiamine pre-emergent and barricade...basically killing the grass seed they threw down a week ago. In fairness, their bushes/plants service seems pretty good and effective. Their lawn care is a total disaster. I would avoid and find a local company so that they care about the lawn as their own. They were cheaper than the local companies but clearly not worth it when you cant get results you expected.
Good service. You do need to pay attention to your shrubs and lawn though.
I have upgraded my review from a 2 to a 4 because TruGreen did send very competent Technicians back out to complete the missed part of my yard. Please send James and /or Robert back to my yard next time. Previous Post: TruGreen techs not doing the entire yard on several occasions. The results when the products are applied are good. Unfortunately, the areas they miss go out of control. The only way I have found to monitor is to watch my security cameras. When I call, they do return, however it is up to me to manage their technicians.
I went online for a simple price quote, nothing more. I never asked to speak to anybody. Over the next 24 hours I was harassed with over a dozen automated calls to both my home and cell phones that sent me straight to a hold menu. The first one was at 8AM! I had to call 3 times to get them to delete my account and all my contact info. One woman responded to my distress by barking Thank you for your attitude!!. The calls kept coming so I had to block the number from all my devices. At the end of the day, I received a text message from another company rep, proving that my contact info was never removed, despite being told that it had. Stay away from these people; they will hound you worse than a car dealership!!
I was a happy customer of Trugreen for a few years. Then Trugreen decided they were only charging me enough to treat my front lawn, not the side and back lawn. I canceled my service today after paying them approximately 2K in the past year. Lawn Dr here we come.
This company has just shown complete and utter lack of respect for my property in Bristow va The pictures that you see are due to aeration, which I get, is a messy job But the mess that they left is completely unnecessary. We have Trick or treaters coming through here today so now I have to spend the Afternoon Pressure washing my sidewalk because its Sunday and of course theres no one there to call and ask them to come and help.. Extremely unprofessional. I used to tell my neighbors to use their service now Im gonna tell them to forget it
I paid ~$1600 in April of 2021 for Full Lawn Management including the most important aspect, Fall Aeration and Seeding. They never showed up, I had to call them in November once I realized it wasnt done. Then they tried to lie to me and tell me it would be fine to seed in November. I still have not received a full refund; DO NOT PREPAY for ANYTHING!
Service on schedule.
Trugreen ? Lawn will be Green if they actually applied the products as claimed on their work-slip. Nothing Tru about their service. You have been warned.
Great service as usual!
The local branch Trugreen rep Alex provided a very poor unprofessional and unworthy customer service -very Rude behavior and bad attitude
Did a great job
I have NEVER dealt with a company that lacked in customer service and care like this one. Once you say okay to their service, they could care less about you. At the beginning of the pandemic we were given a quote for our yard and now come to find out, (after 4 treatments) that only half of our yard was being treated because I just so happened to be home at the same time as the tech that day and he told me. The quote that I was given was per Google Earth for my square footage so how is this error of square footage my fault? Not to mention, if the cost was more I would NOT have signed up. I have called customer service THREE times since July 22nd trying to get this all straightened out and each time they tell me a local branch manager will be calling and I have yet to hear from one! This issue is on top of the TWO billing issues we had from the very start of our service with this joke of a company. I am done trying to get in touch with you. I am filing a complaint with the BBB for TruGreen (headquarters in TN) and writing a bad review wherever my voice can be heard. People need to know what a scam you people are.
I do not recommend TruGreen. I have a yearly contract. . My last service was June 18, 2020. I have not received the August/September treatment. I have called the service number 5 times in the last month to see when my application will be scheduled. Each time the representative states it will be applied in the nest few days or by the end of the week. This mornings phone call it was stated the treatment will applied September 28. Any recommendations of other lawn care companies would be greatly appreciated. TruGreen has been totally non responsive.
Thank you to Carl for doing a great job. Really appreciate his (socially distant) explanation to my questions.
I echo the frustration of Mr. Kidwell below. I do not recommend TruGreen. I signed up for a yearly contract back in February. They advertised on their website and over the phone that their services would occur every 4-6 weeks. My services were constantly rescheduled and ultimately occurred 8 weeks, 6 weeks, and 8 weeks between the first and the fourth services. My last treatment was July 27 and i still have three services left, but i have been so irritated at the lack of reliability and customer service that i have cancelled the remaining three. (Im not even sure what they would expect to do now that its October). The most frustrating aspect is that i see TruGreen servicing my neighbors on a regular basis so whatever regional office i signed up through has certainly dropped the ball. Failure to fulfill contract obligations. Will be looking for another service for this fall and next year and will be actively discouraging my neighbors from rolling the dice with TruGreen.
They made our lawn look beautiful this year. The men who provided the services were very, very nice and I would recommend them to anyone who asks me about TruGreen.
Karl was professional and took a personal interest in the care he provided for my lawn. He is competent and thorough ! Positive
They kept charging us double, we paid in full but they still sent us bills. I have tried for 3 months to clear it up, they said they would take off then they never do. It s a scam, they just hope eventually you will give up and pay. Never again.
on time ,professional ,through
Recently TruGreen treated my grass and trees and they really did good job in terms of the way spray in all my lawn area and trees. I was scared before signup due to many negative reviews but I thought let me try on treatment basis and if I satisfy with service then go for pay in advance options to save some money. So far so my grass and trees looks good and hopefully my grass will be green as they promised.
Not as I expected, called few times to follow up on the lawn issue but no one responded but someone finally picked the service request and nothing has been done as a follow-up. Very disappointed.
So far this season I have had just one treatment. yes just one! and my lawn looks great. This stuff really works. I am very, very pleased and cant wait to see how the grass looks later on in the season.
Our lawn is lush green, thanks to TruGreen. Reliable service, knowledgeable and personable lawn experts. Over the years, TruGreen has transformed our lawn from weedy brown to thick, healthy, emerald green. Thank you, TruGreen.
My lawn looks much better. Very friendly staff and service. Corporate billing department did not enter my account properly and had a problem straightening it out. My only complaint.
Works
So far so good! Theyve been out for 2 treatments so far and the lawn looks lush and green and very few weeds. The few weeds I do see, I requested they come out to spot treat (no extra charge from TruGreen) so they should be slowing dying in the next 2 weeks. I also like that they have the same Tech treating my lawn so that hes very familiar with my grass and can track the progress. It also helps to build my relationship with TruGreen if Im working with the same person. Lastly, they offered me the best price of all the lawn companies I contacted.
these guys are professional, prompt and complete in their service. It rained after a treatment, I called them and they came right back to reapply treatment, no questions asked.
Paul was on time, efficient and friendly. This is the first time I have tried TRUGREEN for my irrigation system maintenance.
TruGreen explained all their plans very thoroughly. Man who applies my service is very informative what he is going to apply each time, and asks me if there is any questions. TruGreen also let me set up the applications to fit my needs
Called multiple times, and took three weeks to for the service manager to call me back. They billed me without anyone showing up. (Fraud) They are lazy and don t spray your whole yard for fertilizer and weedkiller. Don t give these people an ounce of your business. Go with a company that actually knows how to take care of a yard without watching them like hawks.
I have Lawn Care service from TruGreen for a number of years. I am really impressed by their customer service and responsiveness in highly professional style. If you call them any time with a question or concern about your lawn, their customer service people will schedule a technician to come to your house, conduct a survey and give you a complete expert analyses and suggestions for improving lawn in writing. TruGreen provides this service FREE of Charge.
I have been very impressed with the detailed analysis and suggestion for my lawn.
We have had this service over 5 years. Always pay up front but have to call EVERY time to get the service I paid for Ask for a supervisor they never callback IAfter 6 calls and have not received my service again I finally quit this incompetent company.
This service is terrible. If they did anything to my yard, they made it worse. I had a lawn care service prior to using TruGreen and my lawn was perfect. I switched to TruGreen to try to save money and I completely regret the decision. Theyre are weeds popping up in my lawn, and there are brown patches everywhere. The last service they gave me they left a note on my door saying that I should expect brown patches in my lawn because of the weather. I have a sprinkler system and Im literally paying them to keep my lawn green and weed free and they did the exact opposite.
I have seen mosquito & gotten 2 bites this month in my back yard. Customer service is excellent.
Great service, great price. Already seeing our grass getting greener!
The guys that come out to do the yard a fine. But my yard does not look any better after 4 months of service. Theyve sprayed about 6 times and no better. May soon end my service
Just got back from a trip. Their work is always good. I am always happy.
Nothing better or worse than other services. Second application of seed didnt do any better than first. Give it time.
Absolutely terrible customer service and company as a whole. I was ver charged and they refused to correct the problem. Trugreen refused to adhere to the contracted price, and were unable to refund the difference that I was over charged. Buyer beware of the scams this company is accustomed too.
Caroline was very friendly and efficient! She explained that she couldnt spray the flowers because of the bees. Based on this experience I think Ill sign up for more services. :)
Terrible customer service. I called three times and the said yes yes they would come to do lawn application but nobody shows all three times.
Unfortunately I had to cancel service before it even started. I called TruGreen to set up service at my home in Centreville. The options were a bit confusing but nonetheless I was able to get service set up. THey told me id have an online account and id be able to track services etc. I was a bit skeptical because i had seen some negative reviews on the customer service side but decided to give it a go anyway (my mistake). The following day after signing up i was called twice at different times of the day by TruGreen reps asking why I didnt sign up?? both apologized after they realized i already had. The following week when i had my initial service scheduled they cancelled and never called me to say so. I called and they seemed very unorganized. Long story short, it seems very disorganized. I went with another service that has been noting but fabulous (for half the price) and great reviews. Just to many red flags early on for me to take a chance.
We have been pleased to renew you every year for the satisfactory way you take care of our lawn.
very poor!
the did a very good job
Brought my lawn back from being almost 100% weeds to lush, thick green grass.
Wow! If I could tell you to run as fast as you can away from this company, I would. I have used their services since October of last year when we purchased a new home. Every month they came to fertilizer and treat the weeds. So we expected a beautiful lawn by May. Not! In April we had a lawn full of weeds. The weeds were so bad that they attacked our trees. I called and told them that we needed another treatment for weeds immediately as I was not happy with the outcome of their services. They came and treated again. I ended up with a dead grass pattern like a snake and crop circles through my grass! Contacted customer service who passed me on to the manager. Three days later I get a call from the service manager, when I asked to speak to the general manger he told me there was nobody else..He told me that he would send his tech out to look at it. Never came..Called coporate in TN, spoke with a young man I thought would assist me. He told me the genral manager would call..No again no call, then sometech from Lawn Doctor came by said yes the lawn is dead, has no idea why but will be back to reseed. Received a call that were to come by on Saturday, waited all day for them...No Show...Called again, received the run a round again. Horibble service, Horrible customer relations...Now I have a crop circle in the middle of my lawn and several snake patterns as well..
I think you have done an excellent job with my lawn for 3 years now. I have some ground ivory growing and Im hoping someone will come up with a solution to it. I think your customer service is excellent. Im very pleased with your service, theres just a little bit more that needs to be completed. Thank True Green an Scotts
If I could give -5 stars I would. I let myself be duped into buying their tru lawn maintenance service. I prepaid 396.00. We had just had sod laid in March of this year. Our neighbors lawn is made up of creeping Charlie front and back. It was coming into our yard and that was my only complaint. My sod was beautiful, lush and green. I expressed my concerns to the rep about them taking care to not damage my sod. WELL fast forward exactly two weeks and 2 days from the initial application and my sod appears to be dying. It is not for lack of watering as it gets watered twice a day, morning and evening. My soil was tested and balanced right before the sod was laid. I am mad as hell because not only am I seeing a disaster happening before my eyes, no one there seems to care. The guy that sold me the maintenance plan is now to busy to keep his promises to inspect my concerns. The supervisor was supposedly sent a message to contact me, hasnt happened. The one thing they dont know is I am not going to go away. I am giving them 1 more day and then an in person visit is going to happen and they can rest assured if I have to go to them they will wish they never had me as a customer. We didnt lay out 5000.00 for them to seek and destroy. NOT GONNA HAPPEN
TruGreen is a terrific lawn care company. All of their personnel from my technician, Carl, to the folks who answer the phone are courteous and professional.An added plus: my lawn never looked better.
I find the specialist to be informative and ready to answer any questions, On the last visit to do the trees and shrubs I questioned Jason I believe about an area that I thought should have been treated. He informed me in a very professional manner that there were bees and butterfiles polliinating the area and it could not be treated. We were not at home for the last lawn treatment but all seems to have gone well.as caution signs were in place.
Multiple Calls, impossible to reach service manager, took 4 weeks to address a lawn problem.
Charged me for a visit that never happened. When I asked to see service invoice they could not produce it and said they would call me back. Never called me and sent my bill to collections agency. Have been a loyal customer for many years. No more. Advice: Go to a local company that actually cares about its customers.
