Louis did an amazing job! It's been well over a month since my first treatment and literally not a weed in sight. My property lines are a little wonky making it more challenging to thoroughly cover everything. Louis nailed it and my lawn looks gorgeous. Thanks Louis!! :)

They came an did the lawn twice without killing my weeds. I talked to their call center about this issue. Without any help.
Response from The Organic Turf Co

"[Member Name Removed], Our records show that you started new service with us spring of 2017, had us do our Early Spring application, chose not to pay that invoice, and also had us come back out for a 2nd free Service Call visit. How you can be disappointed after 2 free visits is baffling."

Not well. Had significant problem with weeds. Had to have two applications redone and still had weeds. Condition of grass did not improve over the course of the season.
Response from The Organic Turf Co

"[Member Name Removed], We're sorry you didn't see the results you were anticipating or expecting. We always caution clients to not look for immediate turnarounds on lawns that are in severe need as yours was. Just as a few workouts at the gym don't make a bodybuilder, nor do a few of our lawn services make a golf course quality lawn. We did keep our promise to you to keep the same technician on your lawn all year long and as such, he was able to track your lawns improvement in our software with each visit. When you started this spring, he rated your lawn a 4 of 10. By the end of this year, we had it up to a 7 of 10 and could have kept improving should you have authorized the lawn aeration and overseeding this fall that we recommended. We wish you well with your future lawn care choices and would welcome you back at any time if you wanted us to continue the positive improvement in your lawn."

During the second application we were not home. The technician showed up following a very rainy couple of days, where the ground was not appropriate for application. When we returned home in the afternoon, we found our front lawn damaged after the technician rolled his equipment all over the lawn. When I contacted the company they immediately excused the technicians actions and said that a couple of rains would fix the problem and that if I wanted, a manger could come over and evaluate the damage. The manager stated the same thing. It has been two months now, and part of my front lawn is still showing damage. I now have to wait until spring to repair my lawn. I reluctantly paid for the service with a complaint and have not received a reply from the company. Buyer beware! Do not hire this company to care for your lawn! They do not care about customer service and are only focused on collecting your money!
Response from The Organic Turf Co

"[Member Name Removed], We're all really sorry a small situation has drug into this large frustration. As a company, we pride ourselves on our responsive customer service and are concerned that a lack of communication has lead us here. We all agree, it was wet when the last service occurred. However, we would not have completed the service if it was too wet. In the performance of your last service, muddy water was left on the leaf blades of your lawn where our machine drove. Its an unusual situation that is called mud tracks and will always wash away with subsequent irrigation or rain. When our manager stopped out, that is what he diagnosed as the concern; mud tracks that will naturally go away. Both he and our customer service team asked you stay in contact with us if the problem persists. Unfortunately, this review is the first we have heard that this issue remains. Our company is committed to always doing the right thing and despite you closing your account, we intend to fix any damage at no cost to you. We take great pride in providing excellent customer service and will have one of our representatives contact you to discuss repairing any damage that our company caused with our last service."

I was told upon hiring, that it would take a few weeks to see any improvement. There are still some weeds, but the grass is green.
Response from The Organic Turf Co

"[Member Name Removed], Thanks for joining our family recently! Just like a routine workout regimen is required for personal physical fitness, so is ongoing care for your lawn. We're confident that as your lawn matures, and thru your and our additional efforts like watering as needed, and aeration and overseeding this fall (your lawn was noted to be thin with our first visit), you will surely see a marked improvement next year against this year now. We look forward to this journey together as we all enjoy seeing your lawn improve and thrive. Jason"

Good. I will not recommend this company to others because of their uncomfortable business practices. 1. I don't believe they arated our lawn last year and we got a bill.... Never asked them to do it anyway (pushy practice) 2 when I called them to ask them why were they sending anyone to work on the lawn when I did not sign up in 2017, he simply said because I did not "cancel" service. Very pushy... Started offering a cheap used Mercedes in return for continuing service
Response from The Organic Turf Co

"Gagan, Im sorry you perceived our service to be pushy. You should have been aware of the fact that our services automatically renew each year as that has twice previously happened with our relationship the two years prior. We do alert you to this fact on all service paperwork left at your home each time and also with a renewal letter sent in February of each year. As a final confirmation, we do include a text message the day prior. All of this is to confirm that we do continue servicing your home's lawn until you ask us not to. When you called 3/30/17, you asked our representative to not include service on your home this year, a request which we have honored the minute you asked us. At no time did we attempt to include an aeration you mentioned in your review. We only perform services you ask and that we provide a positive confirmation with via your renewal letter. Should you be searching for a new lawn service in the future, we would welcome you back to our family at any time."

Company uses bait and switch. I received a postcard from them stating that they had looked at our lawn and could provide a yearlong treatment program for a certain amount. After thinking about it, we decided to give them a try and signed up for the program. The day of our first application, the service rep called me and claimed that they made a mistake on the size of our lawn by a decimal place and couldn't do the program for the quoted price. But, they'd be happy to do it after adjusting the price. I said sorry, I don't think so. He even tried to infer that I knew the price was wrong when I signed up. What a terrible business practice. No way would I hire these people.
Response from The Organic Turf Co

"Mr. [Member Name Removed], Again, both Organic Turf, and I as an individual apologize for the error our team made. As I explained on the phone, the size stored in our database for your home was 11.8 which generated the price on your postcard of $56.50. When our Springboro technician, Justin, arrived at your home, he informed me we had clearly made an error and that he didn't have enough products to treat your lawn area. I re-measured your lawn and found it to be 118.3 which translates to a price of $353.25. As I explained on the phone, we are a business ran by people who occasionally make errors (that's part of being human); grace is appreciated when such errors are made. We surely do not intend to make errors and certainly do NOT make it a practice to "bait and switch" as you said. As can be easily seen, the decimal place is in the wrong spot and did create an error in your pricing. A gracious man would have left it at that; I'm sure you have made mistakes at work before and not been grilled publicly. In our conversation, you even suggested $56.50 might have been a promo or introductory pricing, suggesting you did expect us to "bait and switch" with a high price later. Your words here and response on the phone leave me confused. Again, we are sorry an error was made, and we hope you're eventually able to find peace with this situation. Jason"

What stood out is that it was organic and they seem to have a good deal. I just moved in to my house and figured to give them a shot. I’m probably not going to use them again but if somebody asked me to give them 3 turf companies, they are one of them. I think my lawn doesn’t look as good as I was hoping it would so I’ll probably switch or investigate switching.

Total job went well. Lawn looks great. Bare areas in damaged lawn that was slice seeded is now grown in and looks as good as the rest of the lawn. They use all-in-1 slicer/seeder and all-in-1 aerator over-seeder for optimal efficiency.

I never knew for sure when they were coming, sometimes they would send a text. There was no way to leave a message outside of their business hours if I wanted to know the schedule or ask when they would arrive. To save money they often stuck their bill in my door. I called about fall aeration and Jason made an appointment for service the following week with no mention of a concern. No one showed up so I called and he said it was because I had not paid my bill. Indeed, I had sent them a check when I found their statement on the ground next to my porch. The check was mailed on Oct. 1 and I later learned they only opened their mail on Wednesdays! There was plenty of time for them to deposit my check, but Jason chose to cancel my appointment and simply not show up. I called on the 10th and was curtly informed by Jason that they did not do work for people who did not pay their bills! That's when I was told he would not open his mail until the 12th! After that, IF he got my check, he would call me with appointment time. I called today, Oct. 17, and he alleged he had left me a phone message. He had not. On Friday I had gotten a text saying they would come out on Tuesday. I told him not to come because I no longer cared to do business with such an unprofessional business. He said fine, that he didn't do business with people who did not pay their bills. He used the word "nonsense" more than once. I checked my bank account and indeed, my checks had all been deposited and cleared. So why am I writing this review? 1. The company, owned by Jason McCoy, did not do a good job. Although I complained a couple of times, they always brushed me off or gave a lame excuse, the kind people give to older women whom they think cannot grasp facts as in "Lady, you have to understand......" That should have been the deal breaker for me, but I persevered. 2. It was when I spoke to Jason on the phone and he made an appointment never mentioning he had not received my check, only to later accuse me of being "derelict" that I realized he was not a good businessman, but rather a real smart aleck (did I give away my age?) 3. They do not mail invoices in order to save a stamp, and they only open their mail once of week. A consumer who has no idea whether they have serviced the lawn unless they are fortunate to find an envelope stuck in their door. I have since read many other poor or lukewarm reviews and am happy to say I think I dodged a bullet with my cancellation or further services. And by the way, the term "organic" in their name is misleading...but you will have to research that on your own. I hope this review helps.
Response from The Organic Turf Co

"Mrs. [Member Name Removed], Its unfortunate our relationship ended this way. It seems you have many concerns and I will try to respond to them from our perspective. From our internal call notes, I see that you first spoke with Bobby on 9/26/16 3:58pm asking us to schedule your aeration and overseeding for the following week. At that time, you would have been advised that your service was added to our scheduling queue (not yet scheduled) and we will confirm your service date with a text message on Friday (once it was scheduled). Each Friday, I build our aeration and seeding schedules for the following week and Bobby did ask me to include you in one of those schedules. Unfortunately, in the time period from your call to when I attempted to schedule your service, your account went into a "credit hold" which occurs when your payments are 60 days or more behind. It is a company parameter set within our server and I am not able to change it. Typically, when clients go into credit hold, we mail statements, call once per week, and many clients are embarrassed and apologetic, and quickly resolve the balance. Strangely, when we let you know this was the case with your account, somehow we were to blame. Should you have been open to resolving issues, we would have been glad to offer a solution but all we heard was how rotten we are and how we are the problem. Why do we leave your bill at your front door? Because our industry is licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture and we are required to leave documentation at the time of service regarding what we did for you. If you would have been open to finding a solution (to the paperwork at your door), we would have gladly offered to leave one copy for you and mail a 2nd copy to the mailing address of your choice. Again, when clients are committed to being upset and not to finding a solution, we have very limited resolutions. When you want to find a solution, you would be amazed at how creative we can be at solving your request. Nonsense? Yes. Clients not paying their bills is indeed nonsense. As I told you, we do not allow nonsense from our employees and the same high standards applies to our clients. All we ask is polite, respectful communication and we will work to solve issues. When you talk down and berate our employees, that has crossed the line and moved us to the point where we need to part ways. We wish you well in your quest for the perfect lawn. I'm hopeful you are able to treat your next service provider more respectfully and that you relationship with them blossoms. Jason"
