"This company is a RIP OFF....I have been stupid enough to give them a chance for 3 years and they continued to DISAPPOINT!! The techs sit in their trucks clocking time spent on the service as I watch them from my house. They do my front and back yard treatment in LESS than 3 min.!! This summer I called them NUMEROUS times to complain and NO ONE ever returned my calls (at least 5)!! DO NOT waste your money like I did....my lawn looks the worse it has ever looked...thanks to their CRAPPY service."

"This company is very pushy to get you to sign up. After that, it is up to you to make all contact with them. After about 3 weeks I had to reach out to them to schedule. We had wanted all 3 things done at the same time since we have dogs and wanted to get it done at the same time. When they did come out, they did not have the equipment to treat for army worms. Then we had to reschedule for that at a later date. I emailed the company on Oct 18th and explained I was not seeing any new growth in the bare spots. I even loosened the soil with a garden rack the day before they reseeded. They replied to the email and said they would open a free service call ticket to evaluate the reseeding. Guess what...haven't heard a word from them 3 weeks later!"

"The original provider of services was Turfman who retired this year and sold the business to Experigreen. Turfman was great. The gentlemen who services our lawn is Dave and Dave is great. Since Experigreen has taken over I had two issues. First, the continue to charge me sales tax and note on each invoice that it is the Hamilton County tax rate. We live in Clermont County. I advised them of this when they first took over the business from Turfman. They said they would fix it. Most recent invoice still has Hamilton County as the tax rate. Because our zip code covers two counties, it is not intelligent enough to handle different taxing districts in the same zip. They told me they would adjust the amount they charge me, but will not change it to Clermont Count. So Clermont County is NOT getting the tax money for their portion of the state sales tax. In my mind they are thus committing tax fraud. They blew me off on this issue. I did call the State of Ohio Department of Taxation to report this and they said they would open an investigation. Second issue, I should have asked them in advance the cost of grub prevention. Most lawn care companies I talked to charge around the same cost as the regular lawn service applications. Experigreen charged me about $250 for this service. I paid it as I authorized it. I should have asked what the cost was first. Called them and told them no more grub prevention. I will either do it myself or hire another company. I am starting to look for another company now who can charge the correct tax rates and who is more reasonable on pricing grub prevention. Hate to lose Dave, it is not his fault that the new owners are not that concerned about their customers."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

A quick search online may recommend that you give your dog apple cider vinegar to help decrease the pH level of your dog’s urine. This method won’t help your yard, though. Most turf grasses thrive on slightly acidic soil, so apple cider vinegar won’t make much of a difference. 

The main cause of grass death by dog urine isn’t the pH level anyway—it’s usually the excessive amount of nitrogen that kills your grass.

It’s not required, but it is helpful if your goal is to produce new growth. Any fertilization should occur after the lawn is aerated and before the compost is applied. If you also plan to spread seed, you’ll want to do so after the fertilizer is applied and once the ground is damp, but not wet.

You should water your lawn two or three days before putting down fertilizer to ensure it can properly absorb it. It's good to apply fertilizer if the ground is moist, but you want to avoid overwatering or flooding the area because it can prevent the grass from absorbing the nutrients. Consider weather conditions when scheduling your fertilizer treatment and read the instructions to see how long you should wait to water after application.

You can thicken new grass by using fertilizer, watering it 1 to 1½ inches per week, mowing when it is at an optimal height, and preventing weeds. You should fertilize your grass while you plant the grass seed, or soon afterward. Use an herbicide to prevent weeds or spot spray with herbicide to kill existing weeds.

Depending on the species, most fescue grasses thrive in USDA hardiness zones 3 through 8, though some varieties can thrive as far as zone 10. While it’s a cool-season grass, it has the unique ability to adapt and thrive in many different types of climates. For this reason, you'll mostly find fescue grasses throughout the transitional temperature zones of the country.
