My grass is improving but I was concerned about a few areas that were bare. I inquired with the young man that applied services today and he informed me of how to reach out to TruGreen about what services would be needed to get the bare areas growing. I can truly say that my grass has come a long way, with only 3 services applied, since August. Thanks TruGreen.
HORRIBLE! BE VERY CAUTIOUS! If I could give no stars, I would! I activated my plan on a Thursday morning (9/19/24) I was told by "Laura" that I would receive a text later that day or Friday morning confirming the service would be done on Saturday or Monday. Friday afternoon at 3 still no text so I called. I was told that I was never put on the schedule so that associate "put me on the schedule". She said I would receive a text by 5 p.m. that day confirming the service would be done on Monday. NO TEXT Friday, Saturday, or Sunday! Monday I opened my email to a contract for me to sign electronically. The contract showed 4 sprayings to start in May 2025 (I paid for 5 sprayings to start in September of this year) and the price they said I paid was completely wrong! I called again. That associate told me I was not on the schedule and could not be put on it until at least until 9/30. I explained I was very upset and was thinking of cancelling the service. He said he would have a supervisor call me within 24 hours. No call from anyone and it's been over 36 hours! I called today to cancel my service. When the associate said it was complete, I asked for a confirmation email. She told me she could not email me a confirmation email of the conversation and canceled request. I asked to talk to a supervisor. He also could not email me a confirmation of the canceled request and would not tell me how much would be credited back on my credit card. The one lady told me my credit should arrive within 10-14 business days. The other man said 7- 10 business. days. I have no idea if I will see the credit, but I will be contacting my bank to dispute the charges and they will get the money back!!!!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!
My last service the technician said that they weren’t loaded with the spray to do pesticide and only fertilized the lawn. I was charged for both services. . I now have more weeds than I did before starting this service. My wife also left a review about a sales person on our property which we never permitted. We were told to email them, which we did. It’s been weeks and have still never heard back from them. At this point I will be cancelling and seeking a refund and take on this task myself. I now have more problems with my yard than before I used this service.
I haven’t had weeds in my yard for years ! Switched to true green this year and now weeds !! They Are not customer friendly!! A month later and more weeds dead flowers and dead grass ! Manger came out and said sorry training new guys and gave us back $300.00 ! Spend 20 grand on a wonderful yard and they ruined it!! Switching to mosquito authorities next year and still looking for a new lawn care company for next year someone who knows what they are doing ! Or at least trained enough so they don’t destroy someone property! !!!
I saw a sales rep on our camera, had no idea who was ringing our doorbell but saw a random person come to the door and scope out our bushes and trees while waiting for someone to answer. After no one answered, they proceeded to take a plastic bag out, yanked off a tree branch, put it into the plastic bag and walked around our lawn without permission. They walked all over our lawn and then sat in their car for 30+ minutes. Then they brought the bag with the part of the tree in it and hung it on our door, claiming we had Beatles infecting our tree. Never once have we seen Beatles anywhere and now, we’re seeing them all over our deck. Seems a bit odd that we all of a sudden have bugs we have never seen before. I’m absolutely disgusted thinking someone thought it was okay to walk on our lawn without permission, “sampling” trees, yanking parts of trees off….seriously??? My husband called and they said it was a corporate initiative. Lost a customer by your poor sales tactics, if you could even call it that. How scary to think people are walking all over our property without permission while no one is home. Good thing we have cameras everywhere!
Christopher is very professional and courteous. I addressed the weed problem and he assured me that he is applying weed killer today. I can't comment on the quality of the products as this is only the second application. When I see improvement, I will be happy to let you know. 🌱 Now that I have purchased an entire year of fertilizer and weed control, my lawn looks worse than before I hired TruGreen! Did someone mix up the labels for fertilizer and Agent Orange? I cannot recommend this company 😮💨
David Horton service call today was excellent. He was by far the best and most knowledgeable technician we’ve ever had. He fully explained why I was having problems and was very willing to request a separate visit to repair fertilizer burns in our lawn. I’ve called before over the years about burn out and was patronized then ignored. We were very satisfied with his lawn care today. thank you, Mark.
Shame on the company for this horrible service!!!!! Started the service in sep 2020 came to our house for the aeration of the lawn front and back. Then started the service in 2021. Total of 3 services April, May, June and July, and im asking for help with the lawn since april. Im watering the lawn and the weeds, the clovers, crabgrass are growing so fast its not funny. The reps over the phone are nice but my lawn is full of weeds and im so disappointed. Im attaching the photos so some one to look this lawn i got service 4 days ago and the weeds are healthy. Help me please. Update: aug 22 got another call from the office two weeks ago, at this time still no rep to be at the house. The lawn os a disaster and its almost end of the season. At this time im demanding my full refund the service is horrible. I bought extra chemicals to treat my lawn my self its outrages for the price that i prepaid. Never again look the photos followed alll the recommendation give by the company and my lawn still is full with healthy weeds.

Jevon was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about the services provided. I appreciated his feedback and the information provided regarding the condition of my lawn.
Mr. Wilson was great and would like him to do my lawn every time !!!
As always the gentleman are efficient, quick and courteous and helpful was very informative when my husband had questions for him
Very pleasant young man. Christopher.
We have contracted with TruGreen to provide our lawn maintenance. My wife called TruGreen because we were having an issue with persistent crabgrass growing in our backyard. They sent a lawn tech out a few days after my wife called and treated the area. TruGreen did not charge us for this visit. Since the treatment the crabgrass is turning brown and wilting, while the surrounding grass is green and healthy. Thank You TruGreen!
Trugreen provides excellent service and has very competent personnel.
Very good communication and tech was friendly and explained my service.
Antwan R. With TruGreen Did a great job again!!. Very Professional. Thank You!!
The Tru Green lawn care specialist always listens to my concerns and answers my questions knowledgeably. I like the fact you are told when they are coming and then follow up to see if there were any concerns. I will continue to recommend their services.
Appreciated his knowledge explaining a problem I have had with particle of grass. Totally understood what service he was providing today
Antwan does a fantastic job on our lawn. After 1 treatment with tru green we have no weeds , great green grass !!!! Certainly glad we contacted them this year.
Marcus and the other worker were extremely professional and friendly
Jason was very polite and professional.
Great Specialist Izaya Duncan. He satisfied all my demands. You May schedule him with me anytime. Very personable
David was very friendly and talked me through everything he was going to do.
Prompt and professional!
So far so good!
David was great, listened to what I needed and was so accommodating! Great service
I was very pleased with the service provided by Nathan today. He listened to my concerns and offered suggestions to improve the look of my yard. Nathan was knowledgeable about his craft and that made me confident that results will follow.
Agreeable and, polite representative.
Our lawn is the envy of the neighborhood.
Izaya D. has done the service a few times for us and hes always professional, courteous, thorough, and friendly. He patiently answers my questions and is knowledgeable about the products, process, and the company.
Zachary was terrific. Thanks.
Dillon the worker did outstanding work.
Great results after 2 applications!
My lawn looks better each year I have it treated by TruGreen
Wilson was professional, courteous and knowledgeable and answered my questions without hesitation.
I would say the lack of spot treatments on problem unique weeds. Particularly around the edges of the driveway, sidewalks and islands that are problem areas on everyones lawn. Instead of the customer requesting spot treatments, I think your agent should walk these areas rather than just ride around because they will miss them.
Amy Fraiser is very responsive and helpful
My technician was very thorough
Thorough , cost effective. Keeping up the good fight with creeping charlie
Rudy was very knowledgeable, friendly and serviced my lawn expeditiously. He generally seemed to listen and care about my concerns. And you didn t get the wrong house this time! Thank you for making this service right.
The Trugreen representative that came out to do my lawn maintenance .I think his name was Rumuelus he was amazing he try to explain what he was about to do and what to be expected he was wonderful.
Antwan was friendly and explained what he was going to do. He also listened to my concerns about the service I used last year. I would like Antwan to be the person that does all of my applications.
William was quick got the job done got the side of my house which they always miss last year but he missed the side of the garage by the fence not a big deal. Take care of it next time.ty
Very professional always answers any questions. Very polite and knowledgeable. Great employee to keep
Your service agent answered all my questions, His many years of experience was quite evident and appreciated.
Chad was very courtesy and very straightforward he is a very recommend technician to everybody from TruGreen.
No cars in the driveway(I was home) front lawn/backyard separated by fence. Lawn tech only did the front and left. No thanks, overpriced for half the work. Cancelled service after that.
We are very pleased with TruGreen - our 5th year...
I would like to request urban as our permanent specialist to service our lawn he was very polite and friendly and professional thank you Lee decarr
Great job by Zach
Billy was very professional was able to answer all my questions.
Jevon grainger was very pleasant, informative and efficient. He explained things well.
Derrick did a wonderful job.
Derrick was very polite & professional. He explained what he was doing. He also said that if weeds reappear I was to call. I am very satisfied with Derricks services.
After 6 treatments, target weeds were still there. They came on several occasions and sprayed in the rain. Customer service is outsourced and very rude. Dont waste your time or money with this company
Very professional and friendly
The treatments have almost eliminated the weed and crabgrass in my yard along with the grubs. Very satisfied with the results.
The lawn care guy left my gate open to the backyard. My dog escaped. You guys gotta close gates
Excellent service provided.
Christopher was very professional and courteous, answered all my questions, highly recommend!
Terrible, Terrible service. Killed sections of my lawn. Cant get MANAGER to come to my house.
Had an issue with ants in the house after treatment. TruGreen came right out and did a second(free) treatment. Great service.
Jaquan G serviced my lawn today from Tru Green and did an outstanding job. He was thorough and detail oriented with my treatment. He was friendly, courteous, prompt, and professional. Please keep Jaquan as my specialist going forward.However, I have a feeling he will be promoted real soon.
Chris is very professional and does a good job
The techs that get sent to my home, do a great job amd make sure its dome right.
Had some weed issues in the lawn. Took the initiative in using a liquid spray to combat the weeds. Did everything I asked of him. Good service.
Marcus was the consummate professional!
Very pleased with results of lawn treatments! Nice young man that applied our lawn care!
Specialists Tereida and Chris were not only professional, they were also friendly, cheerful, and answered all my questions satisfactorily. You should be proud to have such dedicated employees. Service is great, lawn is flourishing. Positive
I was not home today but Christopher left me detailed notes so I know what service he provided & what concerns he has about my lawn. I have requested him in the past because hes up-front & honest. His recommendations in the past have been spot on. Please continue to schedule my service on days that he can do it.
Michael, the Technician was very informative and friendly.
Thought I just did, probably did it wrong. What I said was the gentleman that performed my service today was the best and that I hope he is the one that comes all the time. Please thank him for me.
This is the third visit from a TruGreen Specialist to treat our lawn. I was somewhat skeptical to use them because of rumors of poor service I had heard. For me, I have found none of it was true at this time. They have been very good. Mike S treated my yard the first and third time and Antwan treated my yard the second time. There was good contact between TruGreen and the customer. They sent emails to me to notify me the specialist was on the way to our home and when the lawn service was done. In both emails, additional information was provided to me. The first email states the Specialist is on the way and provides a link to a live map to show the Specialist s current location. The second email provides a link to the Service Summary and a feedback link to complete about the services the Specialist provided. Both men were professional; explanatory about pets, cutting grass, etc.; and answered any questions I had. With only three treatments on our lawn, I can definitely see the lawn is improving, looking fuller and better.
I not rating them on lawn service. I am rating them on their driver. They were all over the road as a drunk person or maybe texting? Very unsafe and unprofessional.
Carlos H is fantastic he is so great about telling me areas to make sure to keep dry at night. Thank you so much
Carlos came for the 2nd time. He shows CPR. Compassion, Professionalism, Respect. I congratulate you on having such a valuable employee. Will recommend your company to those in need.
Jevon G was very professional and knowledgeable about was needed for my lawn and explained in detail the process
BEWARE!!!! Technician came today and was supposed to fertilize and spray pesticide and I was charged for my full service. After reviewing my cameras I noticed he only fertilized. I called the company and they apologized and sent the same technician out. The technician took the pesticide hose from the back of his truck and trickled the pesticide onto 5 square feet of my lawn and left. Again caught on camera. I called tru green to complain and the customer service rep hung up on me when I explained that most houses have cameras and that they should be ashamed that their technicians are blatantly trying to rip off customers when most times they ll get caught on camera. I called for a third time and cancelled my service.
I have in the past requested a ride on machine to do my yard and 3 times this year they have used a hose and sprayed the treatment I probably wont have it done next year
Ashley and Eric did a fantastic job today aerating and seeding my lawn. They were very professional and courteous. I believe your company really benefited from hiring these two people. Great job, would love to have them back for future work. Rick Himes
I started the service at the beginning of summer of 2022. My lawn was neglected and had,patches of dirt, many weeds, just a mess. Now (9/23) the yard looks great. The staff are polite and flexible, the people who come to the house are almost invisible - here and gone!
Consistent issues with my local branch and its service techs. Sometimes they do whole yard sometimes they dont. Brian the manager has been very helpful. I have edited my review after speaking with Brian. Lets hope these issues can stay resolved.
I like it a few instances where I m not 100% content but usually
Technician took his time with my lawn. We are now on our way to a great looking lawn thanks to TruGreen.
Nice people. Delivered with skill. Dylan knew all information I needed
I hired them for weed and feed application. They dont always do it. They said you pay for a green lawn. Impossible to speak to a supervisor Negative
They did a thero job
Super friendly and thorough. Took his time to make sure we were covered!!
Trugreen representative was very friendly and responsive to my questions. Did a fine job and wasted no time doing it.
William was very respectful and courteous, I had a question and he answered it with politeness and knowledge. Didn t make me feel like I was interrupting him or bothering him. What a nice young man.
Tereia is the only technician that we want. Shes the most knowledgeable of all weve seen. Very nice and professional.
He was very friendly and professional. Was very happy with his work.
First time using this company. They put down fertilizer and weed control.
Just started using this year. Grass is starting to fill in and I notice more green.
THIS IS FROM PAT GALBALLY NOT ROBERT USOWSKI THE WORK WAS GOOD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.
Stop putting poison in the air, water, and land. I suggest that consumers educate themselves about this.
Have to say they stand by there service. Two years ago tbey had a new guy its was extrermely hot hadnt had rain in days. Came back from. 2 weeks vacation my neighb urd watcvged the guy apply fertilozer cssme home to burned lawn everyone thought wow. Guess what tru green came and fixed our whole lawn no charge We were very grasteful
Great first time experience
Best lawn care services
Specialist Gawricki was very courteous. knowledgeable and did a great job.
First year with true green was 5 stars all day.. second year, 3 stars, 3rd year cancelled.. they are good at baiting.. and slithering likes snakes. FYI, they never send the same technician and the technicians arent there to retire. So Everytime someone comes, its just another person getting a nice read on the way you live and what you own, that was my #1 biggest complaint. They did make my lawn look nice though
Signed up over a month ago for mosquito applications, for 3 weeks their scheduling service indicated our property was on schedule. Never showed and each week it kept getting pushed out. Spoke to a rep yesterday and they told me they will be there tomorrow again never showed up. Called again and the service said the following week. I talked to another rep and cancelled service. A complete waste of time and very disappointed with the complete experience. I would never recommend to others.
Had trugreen come out and spray for ticks, mosquitoes, fleas, etc.. the first time they came out did nothing no changes.. they said they d come back out and spray free of charge was charged again on the card.. This time is worse then then the first job. Mosquitoes and fleas are 10x worse then it was before it started.. my dogs are treated for fleas so the fact my dogs have fleas more than usual is very frustrating.. very disappointed and will not EVER be using them again.
After using this service for years, every year I noticed more and more weeds! Hired another lawn care service and so far not a weed in my yard. I will never recommend Trugreen to anyone!!
Taking care of creeping Charlie, a ground Ivey that was taking over my back yard! After 4 months there is much less of that and all other weeds!
These people deff know how to care for a yard! And there pricing, very competitive.
I started with Trugreen in June 2022 and decided to pay monthly. I was willing to give them a chance to build my confidence in their company. The techs that come out pay very little attention to the notes on the account. I had requested 3x to have a crab grass application put down. I shouldnt have to continue to monitor what the techs actually do and dont d do each time they come out. One time we had a dry spell and the tech came out any way to put down a weed application. When I questioned the tech, I was told that because I questioned the visit... they would recommend waiting for it to rain first or the application could do damage. I dont want a canned apology that everyone else got. I simply no longer want anything to do with them. My neighbors are thankful they didnt go with them. Enough said!!!
I could write a book about how bad True Green s mosquito control is. They said they d spray every 4 weeks but more often if mosquitoes return. What a joke. We called. No one came. More than once they missed big areas that should have been sprayed. They are MUCH more expensive than other sprayers. Customer Service is We can t come. Period.
First, if you do a year program watch out they will just auto renew without any heads up. Randomly get $250 bucks charged to your CC then would have continued to charge until you call and cancel. Even besides that they are 2 stars at best for the small amount of effort and time savings you get from the service you are much better off doing it yourself in fact you would do your lawn a favor. It was nice to not worry about it for a season, but not worth the money at all.
The timeliness, professionalism and very helpful, if I have any questions. He was sure to cover the entire yard, even the crazy areas. Also, I appreciate having the same individual. He knows my yard.
Extremely deceptive sales tactics. Beware of what you are getting yourself into. They sell the service as a yearly lawn service. Most sensible people would assume this is for a year of service. Think again. It is for a certain number of applications, which they conveniently do in about 10 months time. Then in month 10 or 11, they start their yearly service all over again, so your annual cost is much more than they lead you to believe. You may be ok with this, it is just that they should absolutely be upfront & honest about this at the time they sign you up. Not to mention had as many, if not more weeds at the end of the the year of service than when I started. Not really sure what I paid for, as they never eliminated the weeds. Also, they are almost twice as much as most other lawn services, so will never use them again.
Wo
Accounting department very lazy. Even though they sit in front of computers they cant look anything up, like 2nd properties, or use a credit card on file. Also, the bill is much higher than expected. We cancelled our service because of incompetent office staff. Also, to pay the bill is complicated. No thinks.
We had TruGreens top package for year., our only request was to notify us before coming so we can open the gate and put up our dogs. Not once throughout the entire season did they call ahead, each time they came we called and asked to please call ahead and each time they showed up unannounced. They people who came out were good; although they were completely unknowledgeable about the products they were applying or lawn questions I asked. They told me to call tech support and and one of them handed me an information card on the product. On the last visit they came out to seed and aerate, I called ahead to let them know to stay at least 3 feet from the edge of the property because I had an invisible fence in the back, of course this message was never relayed. They came out once again unannounced when I wasnt home and cut my dog fence that I had to repair and bury. This is a very poorly managed company.
Using roundup (glyphosate) on lawns is destructive to the environment, cancer causing and is a big cause of beneficial insect drop off!!! I LOVE THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY AND ROUNDUP IS A HUGE CAUSE WITH REGARD TO THE PLUMMET OF THEIR NUMBERS!!! I would love to give it a negative review!
Paid to have complete yard cared for originally they came and only treated half of my front yard
This company is fraud , they will take your money and do very poor service and when you call they will not return your calls . They burned my lawn last year and never came back to correct it or called back . This year I canceled the service and they did a fake service and billed me for that , the service date is March 17 2021 , although by law they can not start any service before April 1. I called and called and still waiting for a response. Save yourself a pretty penny. This company was good in the past but not any more .
Look up your property by Satellite ! , come on , send a salesman, 748 dollars quote , and dont even come to get a real look at the lawn , no way ! Your satellite must have been looking at Burnett Park! What a joke , especially when she told me home depot can do it much cheaper ! I will definitely tell my neighbors to go else where , town of geddes beware ! Thanks for the feedback, and she was right 48 dollars for Scotts weed and feed ,and rental of the lawn PLUGGER , was worth my time ! Thanks for the great advice !
Good service
Drove straight by our home today ( security proof ) have been waiting weeks and then got a call our gate was locked well we have 3 cameras facing the front and driver drove straight by O the best part is there is no grass in gated area . Should have read reviews FRAUD !
Haven t been here in months, did one service and haven t seen anyone since. Still in business?
True Green a professional lawn service keeps you green
Excellent service and people that work there!!!!
I paid for the mosquito control and the weed control. Neither worked. I still have thistle growing all Over my back yard and I can t go out into my yard at dusk without getting eaten alive. I complained a few times and they sent out the trucks for a free service which still did not help. On top of that, which may even be worse, they call at least twice a week trying to upswell me another service. I will not be using their service again. Such a waste of my money, I could have sprayed my yard myself and gotten a better outcome.
I signed up for this service in early Spring. Good thing I decided to pay for each treatment and not the entire thing up front. It is almost September and they have only treated my lawn twice. And the only reason I got the second treatment was because I had to call TWICE to get them to come out. Never seen them again. I log in to my account and sometimes there is a future service date showing so I think they might actually come back. But no, a few days later and the service date is gone and I am back no scheduled date. According to my account I have 4 treatments left. For what? It will be snowing before they ever come back. Wish I had read the reviews before I signed up. I will not use them next year and have already contacted another company that friends have used that actually serviced their lawn this year. The two treatments I paid for were just a waste of money. But Trugreen doesnt forget about me when they send me texts trying to get me to sign up for more types of services!
The last service we had was 7/8 For mosquitoes. They were supposed to come on 8/27 and didn t show. I was promised they d be here on 9/2 as we are having a two year birthday party on 9/5 and they would put a note that they would be here. They didn t show. I called and they said they d come on Saturday 9/4 to do the service because I made them aware the situation. Here we are Saturday no message they are coming when I call it s now scheduled for 9/7. I was also told that a manger would call me about a missing application as my account stated 4 and I paid for 5. That was supposed to be within one two two business days of 8/26 that didn t happen. I then asked about that call when I called about my service and they said that it was now escalated to a manager and not an assistant. Still no call. Still missing a service on my account and still no service performed.
Are you looking for a big brand company that you will have to talk to someone new each time to explain what is going on? Then TrueGreen is perfect for you. I had my first treatment set up for Friday and confirmed by text from the tech. Friday was a critical day as I was having guests over that weekend. My scheduled window was between 1-6pm, at 545 the left a message saying they couldnt make it. I had to call TrueGreen myself to find out the next time someone would come out and you would think I would be next, but you would be wrong. I asked to cancel my service, they offered to give me the first treatment for free, so I stayed and waited for the service, which never came because they cancelled it. I called and asked to speak to a manager, I was told they dont do that and i could request a call in 24-48 hours.....still waiting. TrueGreen is terrible. I called a local pest control company, got the same price and timely responsive service. I would rather have mosquitoes in my yard and in my house then to ever work with this company again. STAY AWAY!!!!!
Im gonna jump on the bandwagon here with others and say the quality of service and commitment to following their service contract with you is very poor. They must be running low on people or have too many accounts to service, because like others this year, i signed up for 6 applications and had only received 2 up through mid-September. Then, the only reason they came out mid-September was because I called and complained. And then they applied TWO of my 6 applications to that one visit. Oh and I guess 6 applications doesnt have to be within one year. If they dont get to it then it rolls into the next year. Like...what??? Did I not pay for 6 applications in a specific calendar year, where my service agreement specifically shows 6 date ranges for applications??? I guess that doesnt actually mean anything. Its all very loose. Whenever they can get to it. My lawn is still full of weeds and i swear that their application is killing the tree in my front yard. This will very likely be my only and last year using Trugreen. Well i guess maybe next year to use up my service applications because they arent coming this year... that is, unless i can get my refund. That would be way better than having to deal with this bait and switch any more.
A horrible experience. Beware! I started service with Tru Green - Syracuse a year ago. I was given a quote for a series of services for a one -year period of time. The year s fee was about $1230. It was clearly quoted to me. Based on what information was provided to me at that time by the Tru Green representative who visited my residence - number of services, type of services, I made an informed decision and paid the quoted fee up front. After the year passed this past September, I called and asked when I would be billed for a second year of service. I was told to call on or around October 1 to make payment. I was told there would be a reduction in the second year of service - down to $1,087, because I complained there was some weed area problems I still had in the yard. I was advised I would have the same services, same amounts, which I agreed to. In a conversation with a Tru Green representative (Syracuse phone number) on October 18, I was advised that I would have to pay an additional $596 for that first year of service, before I could consider a second year of service. I was advised that the fee was for services that went beyond the 12 months of the original agreement of service. I advised the representative that I was never advised when I agreed and paid for a year s worth of services, that the services would go beyond a one-year period of time and that after the 12 months passed, I would be billed an additional $596. I also advised that I was told a second year s of service would be $1087, so why was the fee for the first year approximately $1826 - quite a difference. In my opinion, Syracuse Tru Green did a bait and switch with me. You don t make an agreement with a new client saying you will provide a year s service (12 months) for a certain fee, and then charge a higher fee later. If you plan to do so, you explain this precisely to the client, because $596 is a lot of money. It s against the law to do so. I will file a complaint with the local BBB. I terminated service with Tru Green Syracuse. Because I hate being told one thing and a business doing another thing, all to gain more Money. Beware!
Horrible customer service!
Signed up yesterday for easy pay installment payments. Called 5 minutes later about a glitch and had to call customer service to stop the debit of the full amount. Was told by customer service that we called in time and the money would not be debited. Very next day full amount is charged and we were told our refund had to go up to accounting because of the large sum. Funny how money can be taken in 24 hours mistakenly but getting it back takes 3-5 business days. Already canceled without ever getting one service because they shotty practices. Also have yet to hear from a manager. Beyond frustrating these billing practices ruining otherwise good sales reps.
Customer service is absolutely horrible! The only reason I gave any stars is because Tessa the tech came and saved the day.
great service! always going to suggest
Just okay ... Price point is ok, service is ok
They mosquito treatment works very well and they do come out and spray again whenever you need it. Only problem is there are certain people that dont do the whole yard. I have water out behind my house and I have watched them a few times not even go near it. They will get around the house and leave. They do have some exellent workers that will get the entire yard and it works great.
I ve had numerous problems with TruGreen. First of all, they had my account setup for front yard only. Had I not been working from home I would ve never known. That finally got resolved after a few phone calls. Also, had a lawn service person come to my house a day after mosquitoes were sprayed (signs already on my property), sat in his truck for a while then hung the receipt on my door. Realized this after the lawn didn t seem to be improving so, That prompted me to look at my security footage. After several phone calls and promises of a manager calling I finally got a free service for my troubles. I was notified that my free service was to be performed on July 29th but I received a cryptic message at the end of the day saying that they wouldn t be here. Now I have to call TruGreen AGAIN to figure out what s going on, only to be given an option to be put on the schedule. At this point, honestly, I don t even care if I m on the schedule anymore. My lawn is filled with crab grass and various other weeds, it s just so annoying that I m having to manage this so called service company. I just want the service to be performed and pay my bill. I ve lost ALL trust in TtuGreen. From the looks in my yard, I should call them TruWeed. Anyhow, the part that is most upsetting is that I ve been told a local manager would call me within 24 hours on at least 4 occasions and I have not received one call. This is the branch in Syracuse. Before hiring TruGreen in the Syracuse area, these are definitely some things to consider.
This company doesnt get any stars. The only way to write a review is to give them 1. We scheduled an appointment for a bug treatment.You cant schedule 1. You have to sign up for a package. First complaint you get a text at 6:15 am that they are coming and they give you a time frame. We had a text from a tech. He was on his way and it was a complete downpour. We called customer service and asked if they will actually come and spray during a rain storm. As it was explained to us. Its up to the tech. If it didnt take care of bug issue. They would spray again. We have a dog. Its been explained the product needs to dry at least a couple hours before she can go on it. Our question why not contact us cancel because its raining.why spray ,possibly waste product and now we have to wait even longer for the lawn to dry to let our dog out.We just rescheduled. Told them specifically not Wednesday. Wednesday morning again 6:15 am we are coming today. We are like really??!!! We specifically said dont schedule for Wednesday. We called and canceled the service and asked for a refund. After one week we hadnt received our refund so we called again and were told that it would be 5 to 7 business days. Today is business day 7 and no refund. It was almost $400! We were contacted Wednesday night by a manager wanted to know what made us cancel so we explained. Thursday night another manager called us asking the same question. The customer service is the most unprofessional that we have ever experienced. I will be surprised if we ever receive our money.
My entire neighborhood uses there services and every yard that was treated has been fried to a crisp and have not had any sort of response on how this will be taken care I havent received any apology I was just given the excuse chemicals have been mixed wrong I do not recommend this company I have been a customer for over a decade and have been treated like I was a bother to whoever i spoke to
my lawn has been treated all year by trugreen. It is still has weeds and many brown spots. I think it got burned by the chemicals they used on it. My neighbors that do not have a lawn service their lawns look much better than mine. I have used trugreen for the past 3 years. this is the worst it has ever been.
I have never experienced a more unprofessional contractor in my life! We hired trugreen for lawn care services at the beginning of the summer 2020. They came and did 4 or 5 treatments and after the last one we realized that the lawn actually looked WORSE this year than last year. We called and cancelled the future appointments. You would think that the saga would end there but youd be wrong! My husband called with a follow up, to be sure that they had cancelled, was assured that they had. a week or so later they called and said that they had us scheduled for the service that we had cancelled, so my husband told them that he had already cancelled the service and that we had overseeded the yard. Asked them a THIRD time NOT to come and cancel the future services. They assured him that they wouldnt. He was then contacted AGAIN and asked if it would be ok for them to come out and do an assessment. He agreed to the assessment NOT ANOTHER TREATMENT and was told we would be issued a refund for the previous treatment. Which brings us to today, when their employee showed up AND SPRAYED THE LAWN ANYWAY! This is after 4 phone calls telling them NOT to do anymore treatments. Shortly after they left, i checked the account and low and behold we have an invoice for $88. They would like us to pay them for the service that they were told 4 TIMES not to do! AND we still havent received the refund for the previous treatment. So do yourself a favor and avoid this company. Not only have I paid $400 for my lawn to look worse, they now have COST ME $187 in seed that is no doubt, ruined, due to them not cancelling our future services. 1 star is too many stars, if i could have given them NO stars thats what i would have chosen.
The services are easy to arrange Advance warning is given a day in advance as to when services are scheduled
I spend a lot of time in the yard whether on the deck or in the pool. Mosquitoes are non existent. weeds are under control and shrubs and hedges are healthy. I have been a client for a few years and see the benefits year after year.
I finally got a call back from Maria, extremely helpful and understanding, hopefully everything will be okay..thanks Maria
They never treated my lawn with weed control even after I signed the consent form to have it treated for weeds. Then they repeatedly fertilized it. So what I ended up with is a front lawn which is 90% crab grass. My back lawn was still decent but after I complained and told them to never return, they returned when I was at work one day and put something on my back lawn which quickly killed 1/2 of my grass. Then they hounded me to pay them for the treatment administered after I fired them.... the one which killed my back lawn. I have spoken to their representatives on the phone twice asking that they come see my lawn and discuss it with me but they never responded. Worst quality service ever and worst customer service ever!
My lawn was nothing but weeds and ground ivy. It took a couple of years but TruGreen gave me a beautiful green lawn with no weeds.
Generally tops in all they have to offer.
Great for lawn care needs
Its been a week since my lawn was treated. At this point there are more weeds in our yard than there was before the treatment. No very pleased at this point.
Lawn always looks lush green after we mow
Prepaid for season of mosquito control. Had an irate neighbor from one block away knocking on door angry that HIS yard had been sprayed! Multiple calls to TruGreen yielded many promises, but no action. It has been four-weeks. They have my money, I have no treatment.
Had my lawn sprayed for mosquitoes 6/28/2019, as of 7/10/2019, 12 days later, the mosquito problem is back to the way it was (actually the treatment lasted less time than that, I have been too busy to call and deal with TruGreen). Called yesterday, can t and wouldn t give me a date/time when they will be out to re-treat the yard. Looking at the other comments, I m guessing that it will happen around the next billing cycle. I ll cancel the 27th if they pull that!
I dont want to put pesticides in my lawn anymore
Lawn looks much better after 1 year of service. I thought it would look even better, but maybe Im too critical. Crabgrass and clover still there. Crabgrass is reduced. Clover and other broadleaf plants still abound. Bare patches are filling in with grass and grass is stronger everywhere. I wish TruGreen would reseed bare spots this Fall at my expense if reasonable.
Mentioned the nuts edge / weed issue to tech who indicated last treatment would make an improvement...it didnt touch that weed.
One week in and already seeing results! I wasted so much money over the years with DIY, so far best decision I ve made in awhile. PS my service guy is a champ! Can t wait to talk lawn stuff on the next service apt.
You dont have to be home for them to come and do their work
Save your money. I have had so many problems with the Syracuse branch,it blows my mind. They had to send someone back three times to spray my yard for weeds because the first two they sent out missed half of it. Then they were supposed to air rate my lawn last Fri so I waited for four hours for them to show up only to have the guy stop in front of my house and then drive away. I called the main office and they said they would have someone call asap,that wast 6 days ago,still no call!!!
I am usually home when TruGreen arrives to apply the scheduled application. I greet the Specialist and we have a brief conversation which includes what today s application is. I find that the Specialists are professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. I like the fact that I am notified through email that the service is scheduled for a particular date so that if the date does not work for me, I can call and reschedule which I have done. I am also notified through email on the date of the service, the approximate arrival time. At the completion of the application, I receive not only a printout of the service from the specialist, but an email from TruGreen of the same. I would recommend TruGreen as a reliable lawn maintenance company.
I am usually not home when service is provided. However, I always receive a voice mail letting me know the date and the treatment is provided on time. When I have been home and met the service technician, he has always been very professional, friendly, and asks if I have any questions.
A representative from Trugreen came to our door and provided a written quote for service. When we called to sign up for service, we were told that they would not honor that quote despite having it in writing and the name of the employee that provided it. A company that doesn t honor its word is a company I will not do business with
Need lawn care. However, the salesman was so pushy to get my business, he lost mine. Wouldnt let me finish sentences. Will try elsewhere.
My experience was just like the TruGreen Review on Youtube. I was only refunded for $130 for the faking of the applications as I could only prove it on two visits. I set my camera up because I knew it wasnt being done right. It took me hours getting no where with them on the phone. I ended up taking care of my own lawn. TruGreen is not worth the hassle. They promise they will take care of you between visits but drag their feet until it is time for the next visit.
I called. Some guy talked for 15 min and then sent me a quote for over 300 dollars for six visits to spread some fertilizer and this was for only the front yard (2700) feet. Be careful when doing business with these people. Get everything in writing
always courteous and helpful staff
The WORST EXPERIENCE ......recently signed up for front lawn service ONLY - face to face with salesperson. Specifically requested front lawn only - due to the fact that my pets spend all time in back yard. Neighbor notifies me this morning that TruGreen has treated my entire back yard - I called immediately to complain - the best TruGreen can do for me is to have someone call me back within 24 hours. This is why I have never purchased this service.
They are the best and Corey is the greatest and is a wonderful specialist.
Good quality and value for a fair price. In fact, we have not had any reason to have a return visit. What would be appreciated is a long-time customer discount.
Phenomenal, great attention to detail and even better on their Mosquito deals. Much better than Orkin, or the Mosquito professionals. And the fact that they are constantly looking into better and modern services is a huge plus for us.
Weve used trugreen for about 5 years. The last 2 years have been terrible, the lawn is full of weeds including crab grass which I dont understand if they actually did the crabgrass application they claim to do! I dont think they did. They wont come when scheduled, and the lawn looks terrible. So happy we didnt prepay. Im canceling service and doing it myself. #fraud
They promise in between service visits to fix any issues you have, but make it impossible to reach anyone that can take care of the issues, By the time you go back and forth with the company it is time for the next service - steer clear!
I have had nothing but trouble since i signed up. I prepaid otherwise I would have dropped them by now. weeds are still here. have to call to re do almost every time and quite a hassel to to that. they have to send you a new form that you have to sign and send back each and every time THEY do not do a good job getting rid of the weeds. The service person knows you are home, yet does not come to the door to explain anything. they are doing my over 3000sq ft yard in less than 5 mins... very expensive for that little amount of time, effort they dont put into my paid service. dont waste your money on this company.... ( also call service is always at least a 20 min wait on hold)
They do a great job
The gentleman who takes care of my lawn Phil is very good at what he does, he doesnt miss any spots at all. I am happy with the way my lawn is cared for and the way it looks.
I work full time so I am not home when the lawn treatments are done. However, they seem to do a nice job. I do wish that our lawn was a little greener in color. No fault of yours. So far I am satisfied with the service. I have been with True Green for the last few years.
I am extremely pleased with the service I am receiving from Trugreen and their tchnicians.I get many compliments about our lawn. I have referred many people in my neighborhood to Trugreen.
Lawn appearance continues to improve and our specialist James Jock is a pleasure. This is the second time I have been at home when he was here and again he was very accommodating and readily addressed the questions I had.
