"It's going to cost me thousands of dollars to repair the damage TruGreen has done to my property. There are large sections of my lawn where the grass is now completely gone as the result of improperly applying fertilizer and burning the grass. Before TruGreen my lawn was healthy and pothole free. I am also now dealing with a mosquito infestation. This after 7 treatments from TruGreen during 2022. Again, I never had this issue with my previous lawn care service. Avoid at all costs if you value your lawn."

"Tru green is the worst service out there. I paid up front for the seasonal service and all I got from them is more crabgrass and weeds I have ever seen in my yard. Neighbor is complaining my crabgrass is infiltrating his yard. I have dandelions in October, who gets dandelions in October. They don’t return calls. The worst ever."

"Brutally honest and kind of embarrassing for me but this was my experience. I leave it as a buyer beware type of thing. Brady and brother and father did an amazing job although he was supposed to take down two accidental trees and told me the charge for that was part of why the estimate was high. He ended up cutting the trees to their stump but made some excuses as to why it wasn’t possible to take the stumps. He didn’t reduce my charge though. BUT, he was a no call no show to two appointments and late for the rest of them, a total of 5-7 times. Not only was this unprofessional but I had 2 fur babies that went poo outside in the backyard so .. I would make sure the yard was free of poo and close the doggie door making them stay inside. He either wouldn’t call and just show up a lot later then he told me or he’d call and say he’d be here soon, after being really late, which btw after I complained he told me that he worked for himself so was never late. Then I’d rush to let my dogs go to the bathroom and lock them in AGAIN. So one time I missed a fresh pile of poo, after making my senior dogs wait for hours without being able to go outside. He started working then stopped after 5 minutes texting me that he couldn’t mow because there was poo in the yard. Also, he bought my late husbands dirt bike and trailer, both pristine. The trailer was packed with a full toolbox and a pressure washer and all kinds of accessories. He knew what it was worth but I didn’t. Here’s the embarrassing part. I let him get away with buying everything for about $3000.00 less than I would have gotten from a fair person. If I were knowledgeable, not in mourning, smarter than, I would never have let him take anything much less let him come back after treating us so haphazardly."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Sugar is good for plants, despite limiting nitrogen absorption. However, the sugar that is healthy for plants is typically the same sugar created by plants as part of photosynthesis. In other words, table sugar is not good or bad for plants on its own, just keep track of nitrogen levels in the soil. But don’t worry, sugar won’t kill your grass.

The best fertilizer for early spring is an organic slow-release fertilizer that sets up your lawn for continued good health and vigorous growth throughout the whole growing season. If your lawn is particularly neglected or has specific issues, you may need an application of quick-release fertilizer alongside a slow-release one for an immediate boost. 

Costs depend on property size, service frequency, and additional tasks like aeration or overseeding.

Clover lawns stand up better against dog and cat urine than traditional turfgrass. If your pets love to hang out on the lawn on a sunny day—or if you find yourself with a lot of visiting neighborhood dogs—you could save yourself from yellow and brown patches by making the switch to a clover lawn.

Sugar water helps the microorganisms in the soil break down nutrients, thus helping certain plants grow. In other words, it is okay to water plants with sugar water, but exercise caution and never rely on sugar when fertilizing your grass. Sugar is not plant food and, if applied too liberally, kills the plants you intend to help.
