I called Lawn Dog only to find out they were bought up by True Green. I was hesitant to proceed but I wasn’t bound by contract for the season. The process is cumbersome. First they have to upload your paperwork into their system, mail it out to you for signature then put it back in the system before you can schedule your first lawn treatment. This first process took approximately 1 month. I downloaded the app for my phone and my initial appointment is scheduled between noon and 5pm. About 4pm I get a message that the tech is running late then 4:30pm I get another message that I’ve been cancelled. I immediately get on the phone and go through the tedious computerized phone process before I get a human and explain what happened and it’s going to be 1 week before they can get to me and they’ll take 50% off the treatment. I say ok but it never happens. 1 week later I call again and get assurances that this won’t happen again and we now book 2 weeks out and now the treatment will be st no cost to me but you guessed it, same scenario as the first time, cancelled at the last minute. I call again and tell True Green what happened and that I no longer want their services. I call Tim Brennan of Brennan’s Landscaping and he’s at the house the next day for an estimate and by the next week the lawn is treated and doing well. To top it off 2 weeks ago True Green calls me and wants to schedule my second treatment! You can just imagine how that conversation went. The moral of the story is, if you can support a local privately owned business do so.

I was very happy with the service I received from Lawn Dawg. Unfortunately, lawn Dawg was bought by another lawn care service called Tru Green and took over my contract for about the last two or three months of my service contract. I have renewed my contract for the coming year but am not ready to give a rating for Tru Green yet.

The nutsage problems seems to keep coming back. I'm still seeing evidence of mole activities. Some time late summer early fall, my account was transferred to True Green, so I guess that they bought out Lawndawg. Trugreen sent me an additional bill. Since I had paid Lawndawg a year in advance, I was not happy with the extra bill. I paid the bill, but will not do business with Trugreen due to the extra bill. I don't think the grub treatment was performed as I still have the mole activity. I'm not sure if I would continue with lawndawg with a satisfactory explanation of the continuing problem of mole activity.
Description of Work
They did fertilizers, weed control and grub control. They also treated for nutsage (not sure if that the correct name but it's less green and grows at faster rate than grass). They had to keep treating the nutsage problem. The grub control is supposed to get rid of the moles. Crabgrass also made an appearance later in the summer

It didn’t go to good, I fired them. This is the first year I haven’t used them in probably 5 or 6 years. They responded, they just didn’t get it right. I won’t use them again because you don’t fertilize swimming pools. I’ve try to tell them year after year. They had a lot of turn over and a guy would come in and he was in a hurry, he just threw the stuff around. They did it year after year and finally I just said that was it and I will do it myself. I do it myself now. They drive around in theses, it’s like a moon buggy almost. They stand up on it and it fits through small gates, which is really convenient, but it throws the fertilizer all around. I’m sure you can do it where you want to, but you have got to go slow and careful. When you’ve got somebody that’s 22 years old and they’ve got 10 houses to go to, they probably want to get their day done. I understand that, I tried to work with them, but they just did it year after year.

My lawn technician Dylan Bunce is off the charts amazing! He sent me reminders days in advance as to when he was coming out and what treatments he was going to be performing. On the day that he came out, he left me a super detailed note of what was done, areas of concern, best results instructions, and recommendations. They even included a note on the weather, temperature, and exact time they applied the treatment. I am beyond happy with the service that LawnDawg has provided so far! Couldn't be more impressed,

I still get crabgrass late summer. Nutsage seems to come back every year. It would nice to get rid of it permanently. It seems to be in a lot of yards. They try to sell me overseeding and aeration every year, but I haven't purchased it yet. I purchased the grub control too.
Description of Work
They did fertilizer and weed control. I had some "nutsage"(?) which they applied something to kill it. I had some crabgrass later in the summer too. I think they do 6 treatments.

Service Provider Response

Hi Mr. [Member Name Removed], We can always treat crabgrass and nutsedge as they emerge. Unfortunately the only thing that will prevent weeds from returning year over year is a thicker lawn. Our fertilizer program will feed and green up your existing lawn, and we will control the weeds as they arise, however only a thicker lawn will crowd out weed growth more permanently. That is the main reason we recommend a seeding service. Weeds are opportunistic and will find any thin or bare area. If at any time you see weeds or have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 888-925-3294.

Mr. [Member Name Removed], Thank you for your business since 2009! I apologize for the issues that you had with consistent weed control last year. Looking at your service records, I do see that there are some tough weeds present in your lawn and I have made the branch aware that these will need special attention. We will be out every 4-6 weeks to treat, however sometimes there may be unforeseen issues between treatments. At any time give us a call or email and we will come out within 48 hours at no charge to you to correct the issue.

Not so great...will either do myself or hire a different service. This company I was very professional and slick on the marketing and sales side of the business but less than great on the actual service. In addition to the lawn not looking very good one of them told me about the slip left on the door with the report of service done that day "That is just a general statement...if you want the real info for your yard you need to call". So the info they leave you not that valuable.
Description of Work
They did the work but when I asked to be informed when they were coming so I could talk to the tech in person doing my lawn I was never told. The lawn actually looked worse than when I did myself which to some extant was the dry weather but still they were not very responsive when I asked for specific help. A manager did come out and offer special services to recitty and add more seed but months passed after many phone calls and the seed was planted so late in the season only some took hold.
