They had a policy that when their rubber wheel cart comes off the lawn it has to be washed down completely. Then they can move on to a new lawn in case there is disease on a wheel. He was there in the lawn for about 20 minutes. After that my lawn just turned to crap. He brought a disease from another lawn and he just put it down in my lawn. My lawn suffered for it. He said that it might be because of my lawn mower. But the wheels of my lawn mower don't go off my lawn. I stopped using them but they stills end me stuff saying that they want me back and that they would give me a good deal.
Response from Lawn Dawg - Albany

"A variety of lawn diseases can be spread in many different ways. Unfortunately, our equipment happens to be one of those ways! Once the disease is present, a lawn mower can act as the carrier and spread it to other areas as well. When this occurs, our policy is to diagnose, treat, and to keep the customer informed from infection to cure. Usually the lawn is restored to it’s original condition within a matter of a couple of weeks. In the rare instance where the damage is more severe, we have always taken the necessary steps to repair any damage to the customer’s complete satisfaction. We would welcome the opportunity to service this client once again! Working together, I’m confident we can deliver the result he desires."

They did an okay job. We only used them for one year. For this coming year, the price increased dramatically so I didn't use them again. I didn't have any issues with them. There were times where they were supposed to call when they were planning to show up and they would never call and they would just show up. I would never know if they were here or not.

I have been using them for three years. Their price is good. They call and let us know when they are coming. They are there first thing in the morning. It is easy. I will continue to use them in the future.

First year was good. Second year was horrible, very unprofessional staff.
Response from Lawn Dawg - Albany

"Our commitment is to always provide our customers a courtesy call 2 to 3 days prior to us going out to treat so the is aware we are scheduled to be there on a designated day. In 2011 we did resort to utilizing an automated call system after our first application which may have caused some confusion since our customers were accustomed to receiving a personal call. To find out that any customer was finding it difficult to speak to one of our Customer Service Representatives or one of our Managers is a concern. As a Manager, I take a lot of pride in speaking and assisting our customers. I find that the feedback we receive from our customers is more valuable than any training manual. This information provides us the necessary tools of how we need to train and continue to improve the quality of service and communication we are committed to giving our customers. In November of 2011, Lawn Dawg did centralize our Customer Service and Sales in order to provide our customers with a higher level of communication and performance. During this process we may have encountered a few bumps that still required attention, but feel that each day this is improving. It is company policy that any time a technician is not able to perform the scheduled service, they are to contact the homeowner and explain why the service wasn’t applied that day and to inform the customer we will get them back in the schedule as soon as possible if not the very next day. Lawn Dawg is committed to our customers and the level of service we provide. We are committed to continue looking for ways that we can improve and provide our customers the best service they can ask for."

They didn't kill any of the weeds like they said they would. The fertilizer didn't help the grass grow. I kept getting calls to re-contract them for this year and I kept saying no.

They are punctual and the lawn did look better than it was before. i stopped using them due to the high price. i would have given them an overall higher score (and a higher score in professionalism except that they are very persistent in getting your business back once you discontinue. for months after i cancelled the service i was getting 2-3 phone calls every month to get me to sign up again.

The price is for the entire growing season. They are reasonably responsive to our requests when we ask for them to come back because they either missed a spot or there are brown spots. They are pretty reasonable about coming back or advising. They are prompt on their schedule and come when they say they will. We plan to hire them again.

I used them foir several years. My yard looked good for the first couple of years but then started dying. They had a lot of excuses - bad soil, trees, shade, etc. - but the yard was not this bad for the 20 previous years I did it myself. I went back to doing it myself and the yard is coming back. It is cheaper and better to do it yourself with store product. One other thing - they will not stop. They keep calling about giving them another chance.
Response from Lawn Dawg - Albany

"It’s disappointing any time we fail to meet the expectations of one of our customers. Our ultimate goal is to provide solutions; not excuses. Occasionally there are certain properties that require a different approach such as lawns with a lot of shade or soil conditions, but as trained professionals, our staff should always be communicating with our customers the best maintenance practices. It’s very disheartening when and if we fail to perform and communicate with our customers at this level. Lawn Dawg continues to strive to improve our training in order to improve the performance and knowledge of our specialists."

I guess they're okay but I think they're overpriced for what they do. I'm not going to use them next year and do it myself because I can do it for cheaper. As far as what they do they are okay.

THEY HAVE DONE IT FOR TWO YEARS. I THINK THE LAWN LOOKS HEALTHIER. I STILL HAVE SOME CONCERN WITH SOME WEEDS IN SOME AREAS. IF I HAVE SOMETHING OTHER THAN PUTTING THE APPLICATION ON, I HAVE TO TALK TO THEM BEFORE HAND, BECAUSE HE FORGETS TO DO WHAT I ASK HIM TO DO.

THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT I HAVE USED THEM, BUT SO FAR I AM PLEASED WITH THEM. THEY HAVE BEEN PROMPT AND HAVE ALSO DONE FOLLOW UP CALLS TO SEE IF I AM SATISFIED. THEY WILL CALL BEFORE THEY COME TO DO THE TREATMENT. THEY GIVE ME ADVANCED NOTICE BEFORE DOING EACH TREATMENT. THEY PUT A BILL ON MY DOORSTEP WITH THE SERVICES CHECKED AND ANY OTHER INSTRUCTIONS.

THEY DID A DECENT JOB BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS FANTASTIC. I THOUGHT THE PRICES COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT BETTER. ALSO, ON A COUPLE OCCASIONS THERE WAS CONFUSION, MISCOMMUNICATION AND INCORRECT BILLINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.
