Plugs were maybe 1/2 inch long. They should be 2-3 inches. They left a bill for approx. $137.00 Offered to do it again. I said "No thanks". We have been with Kapp's for many years. To leave a bill for services improperly performed shows me how much nerve they have and how stupid they think people must be. Time for a change.

We moved into our new house about a year ago and our brother in law recommended Kapps. We called and set up our treatment plan. We felt the price was really reasonable and we liked how the employees would come out automatically and fertilize, then just leave us the bill. Towards the beginning of June 2010 we started seeing lots of crab grass and lilacs come up and were starting to get unhappy with the overall condition of the lawn. We were concerned and called Kapps to come out and look at it. When someone came out they said that the issue couldn't be "hit hard" until fall since the harsh sun would hurt the grass when chemicals were put on. Totally understandable, because we did not want brown, dead grass when our entire block had beautiful green grass! Unfortunately, brown, dead grass is exactly what we got!! Our front lawn has continuously gone down hill since the end of spring and it is so frustrating! The front 2/3 of our lawn is composed of totally dead grass with a spinkle of large mounds of crab grass around the edges. I compared the pictures from last summer when we did not even use a lawn service company and the differences are undeniable. After 2 or 3 calls to complain my husband finally decided the throw in the towel. He called last week to say that we wanted to cancel our service and the employee that picked up the phone said "ok!" There was no, "Why are you unhappy?" or "How can we help to make this better?". I wanted Kapps to work out, but obviously from the pictures you can tell that it didnt. Maybe if they strengthened their communication with the customer we would be a little more understanding.

Why did they perform a service without my permission? I called them to ask why they had done this and they stated that it is standard practice for lawn services to provide "this convenience" to their customers, assuming rollover patronage. They sent me a flyer with a dominant call to action stating that I may save a percentage on the total season's lawn treatments for prepaying. A secondary very understated message that I completely missed, but seemingly more important, stated that they would start treating my lawn unless I contacted them to stop service. Since I did not request service, they should not have assumed that they should continuing without confirmation. I pointed out that this was not a convenience for me and that I did not approve the service. Their claim to have received "confirmation" for continued services on my property, since I had not told them to stop a service that I did not request, is complete bunk. It may be that Kapp's has clientele that appreciate their assumed continued patronage but I doubt that everyone does, especially in today's economy. They refused to waive the service charge or reduce it in any way. Although this is the case, I am hopeful that they will realize that their policy is illogical and possibly unlawful, and refund the charge for service that I did not request. I have no complaints with their lawn-care from the previous year. But, without a change in their year-to-year rollover service policy, I would not hire them again.
Description of Work: Last year I asked Kapp's to provide lawn fertilization for my property. They did okay last year. This year I found another provider on Angie's List with similar ratings offering a better price. On Monday, March 29th 2010 they fertilized my lawn without my permission, one week after my new provider had already treated my lawn. I did not contact them in writing, telephone or otherwise to request services, so I was very confused that they assumed that they could provide me with lawn-care without my explicit approval.

Response from Kapp's Green Lawn The Lawn Specialists
Our service does continue from year to year like most other companies in this industry. But there is no contract that you are under so we just ask that you let our office know when you wish to discontinue the service. We do our best to make our service fit the needs of our various customers, if you wish to have the service terminate after a set time limit or to have us call before each application we can do that. We do not try and hide the continuation policy as it is on all of our invoices and statements.

They come on their own, so, we don't have to call them or anything like that. I have never compared their price, so, I guess the price is good. Their professionalism is also good.

I wanted dry chemicals, and this is what they use. They keep in communication with me so I know when they are coming, but I don't have to supervise them. They give everyone a $20 referral if they refer someone. I referred my brother and got $20 off. They were very respectful of my situation with a handicapped child next door, dogs, my work schedule, and locks on my gates.
Description of Work: Kapp's Lawn Specialists are coming out 6 times to perform fertilization and weed treatments on my medium-sized lawn. Within two weeks of the first application I could tell that it was working. I am also going to use their bug treatment.

I have been using their services for the last five to six years now. They are reliable with coming every month, they do not have a set time that they tell you they will be here but they are always here every four weeks. They leave a note explained what they applied to the lawn and what you need to do with it. They have missed some spot in the lawn and I would have to tell them to go there but nothing to big.

They are very easy to work with. They do great work, I never have a problem with weeds. They actually do their job and show up on time. They will even do the fertilizing by hand if our yard is to wet. They are just really nice guys, we refer them to everybody. They calls us afterwards to make sure were satisfied, and they are very customer oriented.

Was due for spring treatment 3.5 weeks ago, they would call, say they are going to be out the next day, but never would show up or call to let you know they couldn't make it out. When the office was called, they would always give excuses and false promises of being done by a certain day, only to fail to show up again. I canceled my services after this happened 5 times. If you want reliable service, this isn't it.

Excellent. I called 4 companies, 2 responded, and Kapps was 1st. Rich had to miss the 1st appointment and went way out of his way to reschedule around my work schedule and the weather. Although consultation is not part of their modest price, he thoroughly explained my lawn, how to treat it, and the options for next season. The receptionist was friendly and responsive and Rich is an expert. My neighbor had her lawn treated that week as well (we both received a discount for that). I have a small lawn which results in less money for them, but you would never know by the way I was treated.
Description of Work: I signed up for 6 treatments, I believe. Rich has preformed the first thus far. The weeds are already dying. He also took a lot of time to talk to me about my lawn as I am a new homeowner and am inexperienced in lawn care.
