We have used Secure Turf for several years now and our yard has never looked better. They come out about seven times a year to apply various fertilizer, fungicides and grub control products and whatever else is going on with our yard. They are very responsive and provide helpful hints whenever they apply product. We have been very satisfied with their services. We would highly recommend their services.
The initial aeration was scheduled for early Oct., which I paid for in January 2013. They worked with me and completed the aeration and seeding in early September. October would have been a problem because of a couple trees that fall their leave in mid and late September.
To make matters worse, Secure Turf came out and we reviewed some hedges I needed to be shaped up and trimmed. Donald, the tree guy at Secure Turf met with me and took pictures of everything that needed to be trimmed. I asked him if he would be on site when they were trimming and he said no but don't worry, he had pictures that would be attached to my work order and everything would be OK. Famous last words from Secure Turf! My housekeeper called me because the Secure Turf guys were at my house and asked her what brushed and trees needed trimming. She called me and by the time I finally could leave my office they managed to get home they honestly trimmed everything I didn't want trimmed and didn't trimmed much of what I needed trimmed. Also I had a tree near my back sunroom that was going over my roof an we agreed they would just top it off to the gutters; when I got home today that tree is less than 3 feet tall and looks just aweful.
David from Secure Turf calls me today and told me that they could never live up to my expectations and he was drpping me as a client. He told me he was extremely upset because I put a sign in my front yard indicating that Secure Turf was responsible for my dead lawn. That put him over the edge. What David doesn't realize is that Secure Turf put their own advertising sign in my yard the other day which I certainly couldn't understand since if you are a lawn and landscaping company and the yard is 90% dead, I wouldn't advertise that. Anyhow, bottom line there is a huge communciation problem within the ranks of leadership to front line worker in the Secure Turf organization. There is obviously no follow through on work done in the field. I now have a 90% dead lawn, a beautiful tree that is murdered down to 3 feet, other brushes I didn't want trimmed and lot of brushes still needing trimming and David has the nerve to tell me he isn't servicing my lawn anymore and will refund my money. I'm not sure this is the type of company that you would want taking care of your lawn but you can decide for yourself by reading this. When a company such as Secure Turf admits fault but gets angry over a sign and the truth and basically gives up, then, I believe, you might want to consider another service that truly cares for their clients and can admit fault, take constructive remarks and doesn't give up. There are way too many excellent landscaping and lawn companies in Charlotte to use instead of Secure Turf.
"We regret that this customer has a bad interaction with SecureTurf. We have now changed our standard program to include fungus prevention, as a result of this experience. While we would never recommend leaving town with your irrigation set to run - during a very rainy summer, we should have directed the customer into a more comprehensive lawn care program and asked them not to cut corners after investing $3800 in sod from an unknown vendor. We would have welcomed the opportunity to try to make this right with the customer had they not intentionally placed an enormous derogatory sign in their lawn, after receiving a free fungicide treatment. We have since refunded their money for the only two fertilizations they paid for, and they were not charged for the shrub trim miscommunication."
