At Experigreen Lawn Care, our company philosophy is based on decades of management experience. We believe customer care is as important as lawn care. We treat every customer as an individual, with specific needs and expectations. You can trust us to do the job right, the first time. Call us today!

"I?ve had this yard serviced for 22 years and it looked great until this year when Columbia sold out to Experigreen. My yard is now full of crabgrass, I don?t have proof of their service visits done that I have pre-paid for the season. They don?t answer calls, just send texts. I was there when the August tech guy came. He barely Sprayed anything on lawn for about 10 min, missed the back and said he would do it when he finished the neighbors as he had to refill. He told me I could pay extra for crabgrass but I could probably find it cheaper somewhere else. He said he?d leave a paper on my front door that day to describe service, but did not. I called and no one answered so I sent a text and received a text back. I feel totally ripped off and my yard is a mess! I want this rectified or a full refund. I am so disappointed and frustrated. I have pictures, but someone should come out and see my lawn. Hopefully, action will take place soon. Look forward to hearing from you. - Pam Williams"

"We needed to connect our patio to our deck stairs and lower concrete patio. We also had a steep slope we needed a stair-type solution to. Jake came out and went over the details with us. We decided to replace the current square concrete block patio under the pergola with a round paver patio that connected everything. Jake also recommended a large natural stone block stair to deal with the slope. After getting the estimate we were pleased and went ahead and paid the half up-front to get it on the books. They were able to start only a couple months later and spent a good week working on the project. The old patio was torn down and the blocks carefully stacked. Yard damage was minimized and a very nice patio and path was built. The initial stairs connecting to the concrete patio wasn't exactly what we wanted, and Jake had it rebuilt with no complaints and no additional cost. We are extremely pleased with how everything turned-out, and would definitely recommend them."

The laboratory networks with professionals at universities, government agencies, and allied industry groups. This enables us to provide state-of-the art procedures and techniques to our clients. Our arborists consult with other professionals for common projects and community interests. Our unique position in the green industry helps us further arboriculture as a science and a profession. We believe in providing pro-active property maintenance to avoid landscape problems or stop them early rather than “reactive” maintenance that is driven by situations and events. Professional accreditations include: TCIA accredited, ISA member, TCIA member.

"HORRIBLE. In August 2020 I hired Bartlett Tree Experts to remove some honeysuckle along a property line for an agreed amount of $2,898 plus tax. Once the work was done, I was triple billed. When I complained about this being erroneous, Guy Fortner said that the quote was a time and materials quote (which we had discussed prior) and that $2898 was a per diem rate. However, no where is an actual rate listed, either in our prior discussions, or in our contract. All units listed are purely in USD, and NOT in USD/hour or USD/day as they should be if Guy was expecting to bill based on time and materiels. Under the “Tree and Shrub Work” section in the contract, costs should have been labeled as $USD/day, alongside an estimate of the number of days, if you were to expect us to pay that portion per day. As it reads, the cost that was approved to complete the scope of work totals to $2,898 + tax. This is what I was agreeing to and feel notably misled. Plus with the quality of this crew, you definitely do not want to be paying them by the hour. This company has turned into such a scam."

"Our yard looks worse now than it did. Consistent bare spots dead gass and weeds. I have asked that some come out to speak directly with me about what I'm seeing so that we could correct it but they always send someone when I'm not here. Even after ask for a call before they arrive. I began seeing on my treatment statement that they "could not access the back yard". I do have a trailer on the side of the house but, I can get a mower past it. Even if their machine won't fit, I thought most companies would use a hand spreader. With that being said, I was always charged full price for half the work and product. The last application all this occurred. I called to tell them about the weeds and that I needed a spot treatment and after the treatment I wanted to cancel. I was then literally laughed at by Rebecca the call taker. Mind you the retreat is supposed to be part of the paid service. I then asked for her name, she said have a good day and hung up."

FAQs for lawn fertilization and treatment projects in Yellow Springs, OH

The cost to reseed or overseed a lawn is about $1,050 on average, ranging from $450 to $1,700, depending on lawn size, seed type, and location. Popular seed types for residential lawns include bahia, fescue, and Bermuda. Keep in mind that it costs $0.10 to $0.20 per square foot to seed or overseed a lawn. Additional cost factors may include:

  • Fertilization: $80–$400

  • Soil testing: $700–$2,100

  • Yard cleanup and leaf removal: $200–$560

  • Treating weeds: $110–$325

  • Mowing: $50–$210

On average, the cost of lawn fertilization is $250, ranging from $80 to $400, depending on the size of the lawn, its current condition, additional treatments, number of applications, fertilizer type, and location. Keep in mind that labor, tools, and equipment make up 80% to 90% of the total cost of lawn fertilization. Additional lawn treatment options include:

  • Lime treatment: $100–$150 per 1,000 square feet

  • Crabgrass treatment: $30–$80

  • Grub treatment: $30–$80

  • Mulching: $150–$400

  • Dethatching: $265–$295

The frequency with which you should fertilize your lawn depends on its overall health. Healthy lawns with healthy soil may only need to be fertilized annually. On the other hand, you may need to fertilize lawns with shallow roots, poor soil, or neglected or over-fertilized every six weeks. To determine the best fertilizing schedule for your lawn, consider hiring a professional lawn fertilizing service and consult them about recommended frequency based on your lawn’s health.

Lawn aeration costs between $75 and $350 on average, depending on the size of the lawn, aeration type, slope of the lawn, soil type, lawn prep, and location. Keep in mind that it costs an average of $0.10 to $0.35 per square foot to aerate a lawn that’s less than 1,000 square feet. Different types of lawn aeration include: 

  • Spike aeration: $85

  • Core aeration: $200

  • Liquid aeration: $75

Whether organic or synthetic fertilizers are better for your lawn depends on your goals, budget, and plans for other lawn treatments. Organic fertilizer costs more but is likely to benefit your lawn more in the long run by improving the soil as well as feeding your grass. Synthetic fertilizers get faster results but don’t enrich the soil and may contaminate nearby bodies of water if you live on a shoreline. A hybrid fertilizer may be an option to give you the benefits found in both organic and synthetic fertilizers.
