They were prompt, professional, and answered all questions. The lawn did "green-up" in about a week, as they predicted. They offer other services, such as ant control, but we did not need those at this time. The company has one person who works my part of town, which is helpful, since he gave an overview of how he does the job, and he will be the one to come back each time. We did decide to use the company.

We've only had one treatment, but there has been an immediate and noticeable change in appearance to a greener, thicker lawn!

They took over in the fall.  They come out 7 times a year.  We were using ABC and they sold out to Greenup.

I found out later that it took three spray treatments to eliminate the bugs because of the schedule of laying eggs and hatching. I applied three additional treatments (material cost $17.00) and this took care of my problem.

Greenup Lawn and Shrub Care (281) 922-5399 [email protected] P.O. Box 890165, Houston, TX 77289-0165 This company may not or is not in Angie's list but i want the list to have this in case they are added or applies. I called this company and got the answering service. Like all of them they took a msg and i did not get a return. I called and finally got Cindy Office manager who took some of my information then proceeded to talk, talk, talk telling me what she could do for me. I had to scream and yell ok ok ok to get her to stop and let me explain. The she started again and again and i had to yell to ask if i could speak. Good we continued then i got a price on the total yard. I did not need the total yard done but sections. Finally again after arguing screaming and yelling she said she would have a tech come by and do the yard. i told her i want to be here to explain and get info on the care provided. she said the office would call 24 hours prior but that may not give me time to be here. I waited two days and after emails i finally called her again and the same thing: talk, talk talk and i again tried to interrupt her. She said she would have someone call in the morning June 16th 2016. Then i recd an email from their CEO stating they do not want my business and will not add me to their business network since they do not tolerate people screaming at their employees. Well, how can a customer talk when they are not allowed to and are TOLD by the cust representative what the company can do. I want to know what i am paying for before committing. This company tells you and you have to accept what they say or go elsewhere. I guess my US Dollars are not worth anything to this company.
Response from Greenup Inc

"Our office manager Ms. Smith had numerous conversations Mr. [Member Name Removed]. Ms. Smith attempted during the numerous conversations to determine his needs. Anytime she asked a question or provide answers to his questions he would become verbally abusive tell her to shut up. His questions did not make any sense and when Ms. Smith tried to clarify his questions, Mr. [Member Name Removed] would become verbally abusive. Ms. Smith would ask Mr. [Member Name Removed] to refrain from being abusive. Mr. [Member Name Removed] made several calls to our office after the initial contact and was verbally abusive and was using foul language. Our answering service also received several calls from Mr. [Member Name Removed], which were recorded, and he had the same abusive foul language with them. I did send Mr. [Member Name Removed] an email confirming that we do not tolerate abusive behavior toward our employees and we would never provide any kind of service for him in the future."

The technician did a great job on the lawn. His equipment took out decent sized plugs and he repeated the treatment on a few heavily compacted areas that I identified. The issue we experienced was the difference between the estimated lawn square footage and the actual area that was treated. This differential ultimately impacted the bill we received. When providing a cost estimate, the company apparently relies on aerial images. So our suggestion - do your homework. Know the square footage of grassy lawn that excludes driveways, walkways, flower beds, etc. Measure it if necessary and be prepared to defend your calculation. A couple of my neighbors had the same experience - inaccurately high treatment area estimates. In my case, the company addressed the concern by sending the technician back to re-measure. This step confirmed the actual area treated was smaller than the estimate. Hence, my bill was lowered the appropriate amount without question. I would totally use Green Up again with the caveat - stick to your guns and get out your measuring tape.

They come and spray the lawn front and back for weeds, or fertilizer, or whatever they're supposed to do for that season to make my lawn better. They do it automatically and leave a bill on my door. I'm not even here when they do it. It looks good. They are consistent and good. I constantly use them.

I have been a satisfied customer of GREENUP for about two years. They fertilize my lawn, treat my shrubs, and treat for fire ants and other bugs in my yard. I started using them because another service was doing a poor job of keeping my lawn green. GREENUP has always done an excellent job for me. I recommend them. Most recently, they treated my lawn for grubs. They are here to fertilize, treat for bugs, etc. on a regular basis.

We had major construction at our home with scaffolding and plastic covering most of our flower beds and lawn. I called to ask them to suspend service until I re-landscaped. They still came out and wanted to charge me. I called about 3 or 4 times to try to stop service. Then, they put me down as not paying! I tried to call and correct it but to no avail. Totally unresponsive.
Response from Greenup Inc

"this member never called us to stop any treatments and we were able to perform the treatments on her lawn and shrubs. The construction never impacted our treatments at any time. We performed her last treatment on 12-12-13 which we never received payment for. We mailed the member four past due letters and twice called her about her past due bill. We never received a response from her. On February 21, 2014 she called and said she cancelled our service the first of September. The only problem with this statement is we treated her lawn and shrubs in September and late October of 2013 both of which she paid for. We credited her account in March 2014 for the past due amount and stop the collection process for the past due. the member call our office the first of June requesting we restart her service. We declined to restart her service because the last treatment was unpaid. Our call log did not show that she had called us at anytime during the months of September, October, November or December. the member stated in her recent call to restart her service she had called to cancel service the first of December which contradicts her statement in February. We would have resolved this problem if she had called in December when she received the invoice or any of the numerous followup from us to resolve the treatment issue..the member chose to ignore all of our attempts until the end of February 2014 when we were sending her to our collection agency. We reserve the right to refuse services to anyone especially when we believe they are not being honest with us."

Excellent - as usual. I have used their lawn and shrub treatment services for years. The results have been uniformly good.

I have been very pleased with Greenup. I started using them in August, 2013, and my yard looks great! They fertilize and treat our grass and shrubs periodically according to their schedule, and the results have been very good. We also added treatment for brown spot fungus this past fall, and were very pleased. Price for this service is very competitive. We had TruGreen prior to Greenup, and the costs was significantly higher with TruGreen. They call or leave a message when they will be coming to treat my yard, and if they need to reschedule due to weather, etc, they always call and let me know. We would definitely recommend Greenup.

Don't be fooled by the Fort Bend Consumer Report for best Lawn Service. Don't waste your money on useless treatments like the Fire Ant program and the Brown Patch Treatment because they DON'T work! They supposedly guarantee the Fire Ant Program for a year but when you call them back they take forever to come look at it. Then, it seems like they spray water over them because they don't go away. When I complained about the Brown Patch treatment not working, the thoughtless and rude receptionist said, and quot;well you should have not ordered the serviceand quot;. What kind of response is that? I asked to speak to the manager or owner of the company to dispute an overcharge and it has been a month and I have still not heard from him. I will never use their services again and will not recommend to anyone! You are better off fertilizing your own lawn twice a year (Spring and Fall). This is NOT a professional A rated company!

They were late in coming because the technician was out sick. When he finally did come, I got a call the next day where they provided a price to take care of my yard. There were no details on the paperwork they had left. I reminded them that I wanted them to diagnose what was going on with the trees. They had the technician call me back a couple of days later to say that it was a lack of water. I have a sprinkler system and told them that their diagnosis disn't make sense.
I since had a certified arborist look at the trees and it was fire blight and boaring insects causing the problem. Had Green-up gotten it right originally, I might not be faced with losing 4 large trees in my yard.
Response from Greenup Inc

"Mrs. [member name removed] asked for an estimate for her lawn and for fertilizing her trees. The prices were pre printed on the estimate that was left for her. We only provide fertilizing for trees. We do not treat for borers or fire blight. The estimate was provided on 8/2/13. We did follow up calls on 8/8, 8/12, 8/15 and 8/26. We did reach Mrs. [member name removed] on 8/12 but she could not talk and will call us back. Our technician finally reach her and only talked about her lawn which we indicated on 8/2/13 as being to dry. He could not talk to Mrs. [member name removed] about the condition of her trees as pertaining to borers and fire blight since we do not treat for that nor do we have anyone on staff that is knowledgeable in that area. We do have several arborist that we refer people to who have trouble with trees. Arborists have told us when there is visible damage to trees due to borers is it to late to save the trees."

While I didn't have work done by this company, I think some things are worth reporting. I did get an initial analysis of my lawn in May of this year by this company, and they did come as promised and I spoke with them on the phone re: lawn issues at that time. According to the report they left regarding my grass, I had thin turf and the grass condition was fair. No lawn diseases were detected at that time, nor insects. So I decided not to hire at the time. Fast forward to today. In calling for a repeat analysis/estimate due to a marked change in my lawn's appearance, I was phoned today and was told that I had already had an estimate. In telling the secretary (?) my lawn's appearance had changed since then, she responded that they are now treating for chinchbugs and fertilizing. My question is: How do they know what they are treating if they don't come out to review my lawn? While I may be wrong, it appears they do not want to make repeat free estimate visits, even if your lawn condition has changed. Therefore, I will not hire this company if customer service is secondary.
Response from Greenup Inc

"Amanda tried to tell (member name removed) that our price stays the same regardless of the condition of the lawn. Our technicians carry all the products necessary to treat the lawn for any problems that we may encounter. Amanda was trying to inform (member name removed) we could arrange for the technician to meet with her before we treated the lawn. (member name removed) was just interested in obtaining another estimate. Chad who performed the first estimate on 5/8/13 felt at the time (member name removed) was trying to find out what she needed to do for her lawn and was not really interested in our service. Chad is our general manager and he told Amanda we did not need to reevaluate the lawn is such a short time frame."

While our yard tends to be greener than many of the neighboring lawns, we have a considerable amount of weeds in the yard. I canceled the service after probably a year because the lawn never looked as good as we had hoped. Weeds popping up were the biggest problem.

Again, I have no complaints with the work but they don't communicate well. It is lacking from the office all the way to the people that come out to do the work.

The representative from the company came out promptly looked over the yard and gave me quotes on the available services. I told him I only wanted to aerate and fertilize the lawn. There was no problem with my request and he never tried to oversell or recommend services I didn't want. I called them back after I looked over the quote and they returned within a week and completed the requested services. My yard has already started to show improvement and I can't wait for them to come back in 6 weeks.
