I was treating my lawn by Scott's treatment program (Home Depot bags) but decided to hire a company to save me some time as my life was getting too busy. Before Custom Turf took over my lawn was beautiful. We had a sprinkler system installed dug up the old lawn and added top soil and seeded. In three years it was beautiful. Then we hired Custom Turf from a recommendation of our landscaper. That ended up being a big mistake.
We used Custom Turf for one full season (2012) and only 2 treatments in 2013. I had to remind them and request treatments to be done several times. They were always about a month behind when getting to my lawn. Then they forgot to apply the Lime Treatment until I told them, which end up getting treated in Dec 2012 when the ground was frozen. I should of known then to not renew for the next season but I did. When I had an issue last year about the condition of my lawn, they blamed the drought and said my lawn was getting stressed out due to it, however, I have a sprinkler system. Which I used! I also mentioned the Nutsedge last year, which they didn't spray for when they treated the lawn. It wasn't until I emailed them did someone have to come back out. I have lived here for 9 years and last year was the first year I even got Nutsedge. Which I have again by the way! This year I emailed them a photo of my lawn asking why it looks the worse in the area. I seriously have the worst
lawn in the entire region. I see homes without sprinkler systems that were completely burned out last year are all lush and green due to all the rain. Mine is brown like it never rained. When I emailed them asking about it, this time they blamed there has been too much rain.
If my lawn is getting stressed or has an issue they as the professionals should notify me. They are suppose to be the professional and know these things. My lawn this year has looked terrible since the beginning of May. When their company came back in June they should of said something about it. If their employees applying the treatment doesn't know what the issue is, then they should of told their managers there was an issue. That is when they should of automatically sent someone out to evaluate it. It wasn't until I canceled before offering this to me.
Robert has never responded to my last two emails about why I canceled. Even after he sent a letter asking why. I guess he doesn't care that he destroyed my lawn.
I applied a very light treatment of Scott's Max Green about a two weeks ago and it has started to turn green.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. APPLY THE TREATMENTS YOURSELF IT WILL LOOK BETTER.
"Customer, I have just read your review and looked your account up. You called us for an estimate on April 4th. We supplied the estimate the next day on the 5th. I then see that you called our office on May 30th saying that you planted grass 4 weeks prior and are ready to discuss a program. Your call is marked "un-resolved" in our system which essentially says the same thing that you stated - you never received a call back. I sincerely apologize for us not getting back to you. We strive to provide the BEST customer service and I am puzzled as to why your call wasnt returned. I will get to the bottom of it and make sure that this does not happen again. Thank You! Rob Turley"
