TERRIBLE company, expressed my problems on 3 occasions to Shane.....DID NOTHING!
Constant excuses, spent VERY little time on my yard. Tried for 10 months, then STOPPED their service!
Now, going to install rubber mulch and FORGET "Green Team"!!
Would NEVER use this company again....EVER!!!!!
In approximately Jan 2013, a Green Team representative came to my house and informed me that they can provide lawn services if I was interested. The representative told me that they offered a free month of service and that they were no contract, no obligation.
I informed the Green Team representative that I was already gathering estimates for lawn care and that I was not trying to get into any contracts or obligations until I could adequately check out the company because I was already ripped off once by a contractor. The representative told me that they were no contract no obligation and that the Green Team could do a free lawn service for me and they are confident that I will like the service and want them to come back. I said ok, I signed a form authorizing the green Team to do the free service on my lawn. At any point, nor on the agreement was I aware that the Green Team would continue services beyond the free application. The green team provided the first application the next day and left a bill for $60 on my door. I called the Green Team and informed them that the service was supposed to be free and I received a call saying that they would credit the account and yes the service was supposed to be free. So no issues at this point.
On 19 Feb, 2013, I came home from work and found a bill on my door for $60 and the Green Team pickets in my yard saying they completed service and I had to pay a bill of $60 for services. I called the Green Team on Feb 20, 2013 and left a message. On Feb 21, 2013, a representative named Kayla returned the call and I expressed that I didnt know why I received a bill because I didn't agree to services beyond the free application and I was informed that this was a no contract deal. She also told me that she will update my account to a "call ahead" a day before they come out and that she would let the owner know to give me a call. I informed her that I dont want the service, so they need to cancel my account. Shortly after, the owner, Shane Carlson called, I was explaining to him how I felt about the services and felt that it was a misrepresentation of what was put out to me. Initially he was nice, but became rude throughout the conversation, trying to cut me off honestly I think because he did not want to hear what I had to say. I expressed the following points:
1. I wanted to get a copy of my signed agreement showing that I authorized the Green Team for continued services and the duration of non contractual services. Shane told me that when I agreed to the Free treatment, I was agreeing to "follow on services, but it was not a contract." I asked what the duration was, and he did not specify nor agreed to provide a copy of the signed agreement. Shane offered to send someone out to talk about the issue, but that was not going to solve the issue, I wanted a copy of the signed agreement showing that I agreed for the Green Team would come out to do services on my lawn in Feb 2013.
2. I felt that the information provided was a misrepresentation of services and I did not intend to pay for something that I did not authorize. No one out there is going to pay for something they did not authorize. If I knew from the get go that I would be obligated to so many months (to which to date I dont even know), then I would not have signed up with the Green Team until I fully checked out their credibility and reviews. So shame on me for not checking Angies List first before agreeing to the free service. I informed Shane I feel that I have to leave a negative review on Angies List and BBB because I felt the services were misrepresented as free and no contract, when in fact there is some sort of obligation involved that was not told to me. I informed the Green Team that I wish to dispute this.
I initially agreed to the service because it was a no obligation, which would give me time to look at the lawn to see if there was any improvment. I did not call the Green Team back to date, because I found a large dead patch on my lawn while mowing that was not there prior to service. No other company did any work on my lawn, nor did I apply anything to my lawn. I am not sure if the Green Team is responsible, so I didnt make a fuss about this, but was not sure if I should hire them again. I am not out on my lawn either and the lawn gets watered twice per week in over 20 zones using an automatic sprinkler system.
In the end, if Shane was at least willing to listen and offer to provide the authorization where I "supposedly agreed to services for some unknown duration," then I would be willing to give the Green Team another chance and pay the bill if in fact I owed it. I know what I was told and think that Shane took things personal because Shane said that they are an "ethical company" and the represenative that came to my door initially was his son. I never accused him of being unethical. His son was a nice kid, but did not inform me that I had a follow on obligation, which to me is a contract or at least an agreement. Shane was not there and his son did not tell me this, otherwise I would not be upset because then I expected to have follow on service and be required to pay the cost of the service. No one in the world will agree to pay for something they did not authorize. The last thing Shane said on the phone was "I will credit your account $60, close your account because I don't want your business and that his company was not unethical." Shane hung up. So, to top things off, the customer service was terrible. I would not recommend this company at all. I am glad though that I did not have to pay for the service, but the way this happened was so rude and unprofessional.
They are great. They do their job, leave the bill on the door, and they are gone.
The yard looks absolutely wonderful.
