Guy next door had Tru-Green several years ago when they first came out with the stuff. They burnt his lawn so bad it didn't recover until the year. I know thats an anomaly, but it happened. I am proud of my lawn. It looks as good hard as my neighbors paid $4,000.00 for it to be reseeded and $7,000.00 for a well to be put in along with an irrigation system. I appreciate the hard work and money spent making lawns look nice. For all the money my neighbor spent , I reseeded and take care of mine by myself and it looks as good as the guy next door. I only had one weed in the front yard this spring and it is long dead.

Trugreen ruined my lawn many years ago!!

They go from yard to yard with the same equipment and never clean it thus bringing all sorts of weeds into your yard from that equipment.

They did a treatment to my yard in the fall after we had freezing rain and it was windy when they were applying it and it all blew onto my wet driveway.
When I questioned them about it the guy doing the work shrugs his shoulders and says the ice is good for it as the ice will allow the treatment to soak into the soil better. I said, yea but it all blew into the driveway. He said stop being so fussy buddy!

I said I will. I called Trugreen and asked for my money back and they refused. I then cancelled my contract and never paid for that last treatment.
