We make it a point to establish and maintain an ongoing relationship with each of our clients by providing superior customer service from a knowledgeable and dependable team you can trust.

"In October of 2024 Shane came out to give me a quote for yard clean up. After several calls by me, I finally got a start date. Shane called me and said they could start a day early and I was fine with that but they showed up at 5:30pm. I was told they would start at noon. The next day (actual start date) they showed up at 7:30pm and were there for a half hour and left because getting dark. I was told they would be there the next day at 9am. At 10:30am I called Shane asking where the crew was. He actually argued with me telling me they were there. So apparently I was blind. They showed up after 11am and they finished while I was out. Only half the job was done. I emailed all photos of areas not done with pic of contract for those areas quoted. In no way did Shane reach out to see if everything was done. I had to hire another company to finish what they did not do. When I got the bill, I reached out to Shane and said we need to revisit this bill because not everything done. He offered a $150 discount (via Sara's email) which was laughable and said "if ok we will send a new invoice". I sent an email back saying $150 is not acceptable and got no response. No response for 5 months! I got an email 5 months later saying my bill was delinquent but they cut the bill in half. I never received new invoice that showed bill was cut in half till 5 months after my last contact with them. They are not trustworthy and play games. If I could give a zero, I would."

Fairway Green is locally operated offering award winning service to the Triangle. All of our Technicians are licensed through the North Carolina Department of Agriculture to proved the safest and most effective products available. Locally operated.

"In April, I pre-paid for a full year of service to take advantage of discount pricing. When I signed up and paid, I was told a technician would be out within a week to begin services. The plan included six lawn treatments, and according to the company’s website, these treatments are supposed to occur every 6–7 weeks. That did not happen. The first treatment did not occur until May 20, nearly a month later. After that, more than 8 weeks passed without service. I called to follow up and received a text message from technician Brandon stating that he would be out the next day. No one came. After multiple follow-ups, he finally showed up on July 17. Since then, more than 11 weeks have passed (today is October 1) with no further service. My repeated calls, voicemails, and attempts to contact the company through its customer portal have gone unanswered. Fairway Green Lawn Care has failed to provide services within the timeframes it promises both on its website and in its communications with me. Proper lawn care requires consistent and timely treatments, which I did not receive. Save yourself the headache and find a more reliable lawn care service."

As a locally owned and operated business, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service and attention to detail. Contact us today for professional and reliable lawn fertilization and treatment services.

"More Like Eastern 1/3 of your lawn Maintenance! I watched my service provider on Ring cameras perform service on 3,600 square feet and ignore the front and side lawns, 6,200 square feet. But my bill reflected 10,000 square feet of service. When I called to question this, they didn't seem to care and I canceled my account. Then I got a p*****-off call from the guy who serviced my lawn (which I did not request), trying to justify the lack of work done on my property. I am still waiting on a call from the 'office manager' about making this right, but I doubt that will come. Attached is an image from the untreated portion of the property, that was nice green grass a year ago (and 1,500 bucks ago) and now it's not doing so well, I wonder what it would have looked like had it been properly serviced!!!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In Sarasota, frequent mistakes include neglecting to secure required permits, improper pruning techniques like "topping" and delaying hurricane preparation. Homeowners sometimes hire unlicensed contractors, risking non-compliance with City of Sarasota regulations. Over-mulching or planting too close to structures can also cause long-term issues. Consulting certified arborists and referencing the Sarasota County Tree Ordinance can help you avoid these pitfalls.

Helpful?

In Durham, most tree removal projects on private property require a permit if the tree is over 8 inches in diameter, as outlined by the City of Durham Urban Forestry Division. Heritage trees, defined as those over 24 inches, are subject to additional protections and review. For any tree trimming or removal involving street trees or public rights-of-way, a separate permit from Durham Public Works is necessary. Always consult an ISA Certified Arborist and verify requirements with local authorities before starting.

Helpful?

In Durham, tree service professionals should follow ANSI A300 and OSHA safety standards, using protective equipment like hard hats, safety glasses, and cut-resistant gloves. Only trained personnel should operate chainsaws or perform tree cutting near power lines. The Durham Fire Department recommends keeping a safe perimeter to protect bystanders. Hiring a contractor with documented safety protocols and proper insurance is essential for peace of mind during tree removal or tree trimming.

Helpful?

In Durham, homeowners often encounter unexpected costs related to tree service, such as permit fees required by the City of Durham Urban Forestry Division, stump grinding, or specialized disposal of large debris. If underground utilities are present, locating services may be necessary. Additional expenses can arise if tree cutting reveals disease or structural issues. Request a detailed, written estimate and clarify all potential add-ons with your contractor before work begins.

Helpful?

In Durham, be wary of tree service providers who offer vague or unusually low estimates, refuse to show proof of liability insurance, or lack credentials from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture. Avoid contractors who pressure you for immediate decisions or request full payment upfront. The City of Durham Urban Forestry Division recommends choosing professionals with local references, written contracts, and a clear understanding of permit requirements for tree removal or tree trimming.
