This work started last summer and still looks terrible. They said the lawn needed to be completely replaces and the area thatched, aerated, and reseeded. They killed all the grass and mounded the thatch around the edges of the yard. When the grass didn't grow there, they came back and spread a little seed which also did not grow. This spring the yard still looked terrible with the thick thatch around the edges. Although we have complained many times since early spring, they claimed it was too cold to plant grass until May. They still have not corrected the mess they made and our lawn looks terrible.

TMB is professional. Not always the least $/quote, however very reliable and will always guarantee their work.

Three properties and three decades later, I have nearly always been satisfied with their services. Now widowed and in a condo, I can use only pest control since the HOA does the mowing, etc. However, I would not hesitate to recommend Tomlinson Bomberger to anyone who desires quality work and is willing to pay a bit more to have it done right and in a timely manner.

The crew arrived on time. They performed the work in an efficient and friendly manner. We were pleased with the appearance of the hedge and the pear trees.

It went well. The pest control person was knowledgeable and we think he was effective in helping us rid the problem, though it will be a period of time before we know whether for sure that the ant problem is completely eradicated.

Fine. Cost more than the verbal estimate, but I won't make that mistake again. I'll get a firm quote next time.

Still evaluating, but so far satisfied. Price a little higher than other services, but so far it's worth the higher price to have it done right.

They treat 6 times a year. They put weed and seed down and whatever your yard needs they'll do. For the 6 services it runs about $420. I think they're comparable to other people.

After placing me on the "best program" we began service in the late summer of 2015. After over a year of $100.00 + treatments I'm not satisfied with the lawn. I feel since I'm a small account with them, and my location is a little out of their way, I'm the last guy they think of. I sent an email to the sales man and never got even a reply. The account supervisor seems quite knowledgable and told me "not to worry I have the top plan and they will take care of anything needed". That's not enough for what I have paid, and I am not satisfied with the present condition of the lawn. I cancelled their service and went to the store for supplies. Like anything else- if you want something to satisfy yourself, do it yourself. I'm sorry I entered into this contract and spent this much money on a company who is too busy with their large contracts.

The guys who did the tree work were fantastic! They get an A. Answered a ton of questions for us.My ratings reflect my actual experience with the company and "account manager." One of the account managers visited our house to discuss our needs. We needed two proposals-one for tree service and the other for landscaping. She was friendly and while we were choosing between Tomlinson and another company, she gave us her pitch about how with them the big difference was that we would have an actual account manager that we could call and reach out to about our property. We have a lot of landscaping needs in the future, so we thought this sounded best despite the fact that Tomlinson was more $$. Unfortunately, it really was just a pitch for an undelivered value proposition. Our "account manager" forgot to send out one of our two proposals. She did not return two of my emails: one discussing budget and the other regarding a % off promo (more on that below). The only email she did respond to was the one saying we were moving ahead with the tree service only! She never followed back up with me via a phone conversation we had where she said she would get back to me on the % off promo (again more on that below). Very disappointed. To make matters worse, 6 business days after we accepted our proposal they send us an email with a promo for 10% off a proposal you accept by a certain date. Since we had just verbally accepted ours I emailed our account manager to see if they would honor it in our case. No response. I call her a week later and she says she'll look into it and get back to me. No response. I did however get my bill in the mail and it didn't include the discount, so I guess that's my answer! Look elsewhere for your tree and landscaping needs--we will be for our remaining work! (Sidebar-punctuality rating reflects the fact that the team had to push back our work due to weather. Understandable, but they didn't tell us that until 4 hours after they were supposed to be at our House and me and the kids had sat around waiting for them).

"Thank you for following up about your service issue. I am glad we were able to talk over the phone today about the service issue you experienced. Unfortunately we dropped the ball regarding communication and we apologize that you did not have a good experience. We are glad you had a good experience once the work was competed in regards to the tree pruning team but are disappointed we did not to better. Thank you for your feedback and let us know if we can do anything to gain your business back in the future, if it make sense for you. -Greg Tomlinson, Marketing Coordinator"

They've also been out here twice to aerate my lawn. I will continue to use them in the future. My lawn always looks better when I get that done.
