One month, I didn't pay because I wanted to make sure some specific weeds were taken care of and they turned me over to the collection agency without even contacting me.
Response from Fairway Lawns

"Hello, I'm sorry to hear you were sent to our collection agency. When someone owes us money for services provided we mail a series of 4 statements to all our customers to remind them of an overdue balance before their sent to collections. During that time period we give you an opportunity to dispute a charge. If you're not happy with the results we encourage you to call us so we can make things right! But when we never hear anything back from a customer we have no other choice then to proceed to collections. We appreciate your business in the past and would like to offer you a free application if you give us another chance. Greg Davis the local branch manager will be giving you a call as well. Regards, Gordon Eckardt Vice president of Operations."

Fairway Lawns did a wonderful job.  The technicians were there when they said they'd be.  In fact, they called ahead to let us know when they'd be coming.

I love this company. I went from a prior service that left me an ugly weed infested yard to being one of the lushest lawns in the neighborhood. They recommend a set number of applications but no ongoing contract is required. With each treatment I get an analysis and directions on my billing statement. To pay I go directly to their website and enter credit card information. The sales staff is courteous and knowledgeable. Throughout the year I have received offers or additional services but they were by mail and there was no high pressure involved. I have recommended this company to neighbors.

Asked for estimate over internet. Someone from the main office telephoned but we got disconnected. Could not get that person back on the line. A representative showed up at our house to give an estimate anyway but we did not use them because another company had already contacted us and signed us up for yard service.

We have used Fairways at two homes.  The yards on both homes were in terrible shape when we purchased and they now look great.  Our neighbors constantly complement our lawn.  Brett is the best.  He took both yards from terrible to pristine within a couple of seasons and maintained them.  He was very informative and helpful and laid out a plan/timeline and what we could do on our end (mowing/watering schedule) to help the process.

So far, I am very pleased.  He was very helpful with the information he gave, and was openly honest regarding the results to be expected.  The yard already looks better!  He will be returning regularly to continue treatment for our lawn.  I will have more information to share as the treatment continues.

We moved into our house in February 2012. The house was built in 1989 and has a well established lawn of Bermuda. As temps started to rise, as did the weeds, and lots of them. Apparently, the previous owner did not keep up the lawn care maintenance while the home was on the market. Fairway came out within a week of first contact and provided an estimate and recommendations. They have been doing regular treatments ever since. I have called them back out twice this year for spot treatment. The came out within a few days, no questions or hassles. I have been battling chamberbitter (mimosa) all summer in my flower beds, which have spread to my lawn several times. Fairway has managed to keep them at bay in the lawn, as they will not treat flower beds as per company policy. I think by next spring, I should be well on the way to a thicker, weed-free lawn.

When we moved into our new house in Alabaster there were weeds galore from neglect.  We initially liked Fairway because they do not demand a contract.  Other companies make you sign a year commitment and if you move or something happens -- you must still pay.  Fairway does not do this.  Yet, they came regularly and timely and left a bill on our door.  We were simply charged for each service, not for a year's contract. Our weeds quickly gave way to beautiful green grass.  Fairway was very easy to work with, very responsive, their corporate office was efficient as well.  The technicians we had were very thorough and knowledgeable. Within that first year our weeds stayed permanently away and we received many compliments on our lawn -- far cry from when we first moved in!  Unfortunately a year later we had to relocate. These folks are the best and most reasonable around!
