Horrible experience with Matthew and Kevin. Started ok but it’s been 2 yrs and haven’t finished porch, pavers etc. very hard to get hold of them. I keep calling/texting them about pavers, grass landscaping issues but no response. I wouldn’t recommend them to anybody.

We contacted Matt Kelly because they are a local company. In fact, we had to contact him twice, and he did finally get back to us. We asked him for an annual mowing agreement for my mother in law's home, which she lives on roughly an acre of land. The crew comes out weekly, and mows her yard. I'm not sure if there is anyone in their office, but the best luck I've had is directly calling or sending an email to Matthew. The estimate came back within a week, and we moved forward with his company. So far, for the summer, his crew has done a great job mowing, trimming and blowing the grass off the sidewalk and driveway.

I've hired the Turf Boss several years ago to aerate my lawn. They did an acceptable job. The reason for this negative review is because they service my neighbor's lawn and although I have asked the provider repeatedly to stay off my property, they have crossed over the property line on several occasions. Normally, I wouldn't care much but we have a low spot on the property line and the Turf Boss has mowed the neighbor's grass when the lawn is SATURATED from rain. Again, I have tried to address this over the phone and through e-mail with the service provider. The neighbor can have his property mowed whenever they want - it's his right. But I am getting pretty p***** off about the ruts and the resulting packed soil. The Indianapolis area received a fair amount of rain last evening and they still came out and mowed today, including coming onto my lawn.

Description of Work: Hired to clean weeds in flower beds and leaf removal in fall of 2011. Also agreed to 5 weed preventive treatments on beds and lawn treatment for spring/summer 2012.. Leaf removal was fine, weed clean up was fairly cursory. Based on the agreement, I cancelled my previous lawn treatment company because they didn't do the leaf and weed removal. I was contacted by my old company in early spring 2012 saying they would be out to apply the first lawn treatment, I reminded them that I had cancelled the service. (Now I wish I hadn't). A couple of weeks later I emailed Mattew at Turf Boss to see when he would be out. He responded that they would try to be out by 4/15 a couple of weeks from that date. The treatment was not done by 4/15 and still has not been done. (late May) I'm rating this company very low because the work in the fall was just adequate and the company has not come out to complete any of the work agreed to in 2012. All communication with this company has been initiated by me. I would not hire this company under any circumstances.

.We have a very large front yard which is visible from the road. They do a beautiful job. They mow it and we have received compliments for the yard and we even had somebody come up our front door and ask who we use. They do keep it well manicured with no weeds. We live on two acres. We will continue to use them. They were running behind on Friday last and so they called ahead to make sure if they could come out at 8 O clock at night. They wanted to make sure that we did not have any people over or company or anything that would disrupt our evening. So if they are coming after 5PM they are always courteous to call before they bring their mowers and start the machines. They are very conscientious about that.
Description of Work: . We use Turf Boss for the past four years. They come out weekly and do lawn mowing, edging and they do yard fertilization. We pay for the season.

I came to know about Turf Boss through Angie's list. Their price was comparable with others. They were prompt. They did what they said. They will be back for another application. I do not know if they do every month, but they will do throughout the summer. I would use their service in the future too.

Because of our previous relationship with Matthew Kelly, we requested that Turf Boss provide a quote for various landscaping and lawn work services. They responded promptly--Matthew was on site within 48 hours of our request. Their quote not only included the things we had listed but offered additional recommendations for improving our property. Their price was reasonable and offered a number of payment options. We accepted their quote, and the work they have done (and continue to do) has been excellent!

The fertilization and weed control was done well. The mowing was not done very well. The grass was often cut too short and they would forget to trim around our play set. On more than one occasion they put a large divot in our yard with their mower where there is a dip in the grass by the water meter. I was simply told that the grass would grow back. I was not pleased with this.
Description of Work: Turf Boss was responsible for weekly mowing of our grass and the fertilization and weed control.

Response from Turf Boss
I am disappointed to see a negative post on this site, nearly 2 years after our last service with the member.. This is the first negative post my company has received. I go out of my way to correct problems when they occur. In this case, a scalp mark was made by a mower (a small area where grass is cut shorter or to the soil line) on an area of her lawn that is improperly graded around a water meter pit. This was the only complaint that our office received from her. The member waited nearly 2 years to make a negative post; please keep this in mind when considering the weight of her comments.

The Turf Boss crew have been taking care of our lawn for 2 years now. We live on two acres and with my husband's travel schedule, it's hard for him to keep up. Our yard is a gorgeous, thick plush green carpet of grass. The crew of 3 come once a week and are very meticulous and attentive down to the last detail. There are no grass clippings left in our mounds, beds, or sidewalks after they leave. If you see a problem with something, Chris Arney is out right away to take care of it. Friends who drive by our home (we are on a main road) ask who does our lawn and we proudly say, "Turf Boss here in Zionsville". The crew is a great group of friendly guys.

I contact Chris after seeing an article in the paper about aeration. I had already received several bids from other companies for aeration and over-seeding. Chris' bid, unlike all others, gave specifics such as the rate of grass seeding and his article in the paper also discussed the optimal number of 'cores' per square foot. Two days after accepting his bid, I came home and my yard had been aerated and seeded. I have also asked for additional quotes on other landscaping work and hope to use The Turf Boss in the future.
