TruGreen Lawn Care - 5885

LAST SUMMER MY LAWN WAS OVERRUN WITH STILT GRASS BECAUSE OF ALL THE RAIN WE RECEIVED. I ASKED SCOTTS LAWN SERVICE IF THEY COULD TREAT FOR IT BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A HERBICIDE THAT WILL KILL IT WITHOUT KILLING THE SURROUNDING GRASS. THE BEST OPTION WAS TO THICKEN UP MY LAWN THROUGH CORE AERATION AND OVER SEEDING SO IT WOULD ''SMOTHER'' OUT THE STILT GRASS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SEED WOULD BE APPLIED SO THICKLY THAT THE HOLES LEFT BY THE CORE AERATION WOULD BE HALF FILLED. AFTER THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED I CHECKED AND THE SEED WAS HARD TO EVEN FIND. I REPORTED THIS AND SCOTTS REAPPLIED SEED. IT STILL WAS HARDLY A ''CARPET OF SEED'' AS WAS DESCRIBED BUT I GUESSED IT WAS OKAY. I BOUGHT SPRINKLERS AND TRIED TO KEEP IT WELL WATERED. UNFORTUNATELY, I DID NOT SEE A LOT OF NEW GRASS TAKE ROOT. NOW IT IS THE FOLLOWING SPRING AND WHILE MY LAWN IS DEFINITELY LOOKING BETTER. THE JURY IS OUT ON WHETHER THIS SERVICE WAS WORTH THE MONEY OR WHETHER IT WILL SOLVE THE STILT GRASS PROBL

THEY WERE ON TIME AND WERE VERY COURTEOUS. THEY RETURNED FOR TREATMENT WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD.

THE LAWN GREATLY BENEFITTED FROM ALL OF THE TREATMENTS. THEY EVEN LISTENED TO OUR DEMAND NOT TO TREAT ONE BUSH THAT HAD A BIRDS NEST IN IT.

THEY TOLD US WE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND THE TREATMENTS WOULD FIX THEM. HOWEVER, AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS, I SAW NO CHANGE IN MY LAWN. I CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM, AND THEY DID ONE FREE APPLICATION. MY LAWN STILL DIDN'T CHANGE. THEREFORE, WE CANCELED ANY FURTHER TREATMENTS.

NOT MUCH TO SAY. THEY HAVE REALLY HELPED MY YARD OUT. ALWAYS COME OUT WHEN THEY SAY THEY WILL.
