Q: What should I keep in mind when seeding my lawn?

Brian has worked on our property for a long time and has always done a great job! From the pond to the mulching and lawn care, to the trimming of the shrubs and the clearing of the snow, we have always been very satisfied with the quality of the work.

Trugreen is very reliable with their service. They always show up on schedule and they are very professional. They are also very responsive to any issues with our lawn that we might have. They do come around periodically to inspect other areas of our yard and offer recommendations.

It took two teams a couple of visits to accomplish everything. The first team removed the trees and stumps. Carrying away everything took a couple of trips. The second team used a sod cutter to remove the undesired grass. This was made more difficult because we had a sprinkler system installed...

Great experience. I opted for middle grade natural fertilizers as opposed to harsh chemicals. Would reccommend them over the other lawn services I have used previously.

Before I used Greensward I had problems with week control. Since using Greensward I have had no weed problem and the lawn has been kept healthy. They are very professional and leave a report each time a treatment has been completed. I would highly recommend them.
