"Thank You [Member Name Removed], Its great to hear from satisfied customers. We will work hard to keep you that way."

"Thank you for allowing us to give you a proposal only(no service provided).There are a few things I would like to state. The most obvious reason for the difference in pricing from different companies would be the areas of the property that were measured. You can see from the proposal sent to you earlier that we included the entire property. If you do not wish to treat all that area we would certainly reduce the size to your liking. If the other company measured the same areas then some other factors come into play. The most notable of those would be what does each company do on each visit and how many visits do they do. I can only speak for certain of our program, but owning this business for 35 years I can speak form knowledge about most of the others. We do five treatments per year (as recommended by Texas A&M) vs most other companies doing 7,8 and some as many as 10 visits per year. Each of our treatments includes multiple services applied on one visit, such as Pre-emergents, post emergent and fertilizers. We also offer free service calls in between treatments if it looks like the last one is not delivering the desired results. Others (not all though) split these applications into separate visits. We also treat all the shrub and flower beds along with the walkways and driveway cracks and crevasses, on each visit, for weeds and grasses. We put out a pre-emergent three times a year in the shrub and flower beds also. While there we also treat any visible Fire Ant mounds free of charge. My final comment about a company doing your size lawn (Over 39000 SqFt) for $ 346 including the trees and shrubs beds would be to make sure of what they are going to be doing. That is only $8.00 per thousand SqFt. A quality fertilizer alone is around $3.00 per thousand and that doesn’t include labor and associated cost or any of the weed control products much less the products the trees and shrubs would need. Again, I hope it works okay for you but if it doesn’t please consider us again. Thank you for considering Lawn Tech David"

"[Member Name Removed, I apologies you feel that we tried to miss lead you. Let me explain how pre-emergents work. The basics are they work by establishing a barrier that kills off the weed seeds as they begin to germinate. The problem is they do not stop all weeds and are only around 80% effective on the ones they do control. They DO NOT control the weeds after they have germinated. That is done with post emergents when the temperature are right for them to work. As you pointed out from our blog the pre-emergent put out in March was only designed to be part of the solution. The other part is spraying with the post emergents at the proper time. We never said or implied one treatment would take care of all the weed problems. As for the free fire ant control we do treat for visible Fire Ant mounds at the time of all applications. That service is not guaranteed and is only intended to help keep mounds in check, not to eliminate them totally from the lawn. The free Year Long Fire Ant application we offer as a special to new customers is a totally different product and works much like the weed pre-emergent in that it creates a barrier that prevents the fire ants from making mounds in the yard all together. It is guaranteed for one year. Of the four specials we offer to new customers you choose the $19.00 first treatment, not the Free year long Fire ant application."
