About us

Senske Lawn & Tree Care began as a small lawn care and pest control company in 1947 by Bill Senske in Spokane, Washington. During the 1960's, chemical weed and pest control began to grow, expanding the family business. In the 1080's, after four successful decades, Bill Senske handed over the reins to his youngest son, Chris. Chris expanded the family business into new territories including Yakima and Kennewick, Washington. Today, the company headquarters are located in Kennewick, Washington and helps supports all branch functions and growth. Today, Senske has developed quality and competent staff in an array of service areas who can offer residential and commercial services including: lawn care, tree care, weed control, grounds maintenance, pest control, irrigation services, Christmas Decor holiday Lighting, and snow and ice removal. Today, the company continues to strive for superior customer service in which the company was founded upon. Senske operates in the cities and surrounding areas of: Spokane, Yakima, Walla Walla and Kennewick, Washington; Coeur d'Alene and Boise, Idaho; and Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah.

Trees were to be crowned and trimmed. They were only trimmed. False advertising.

My lawn has greatly improved since using Senske. My lawn was weed infested and lacked color. Since getting services, my lawn is greenest on the block, has no weeds and requires less watering. I would recommend their services to family and friends.

They are excellent!, excellent communication, they explain everything that they are doing. They are pretty much good in communication explaining what they are doing and why they are doing it, they text you before they come back in case you are changing the appointment. workers are so clean and they are caring individuals.

It's going really good. My lawn looks a lot better than it did before. The only complaint is that they sometimes just show up with out letting me know. The price is an estimation per job as I do have a yearly plan so the work was paid for well in advance.

I had these guys come 3 times so far to fertilize and apply weed control. My grass never did seem to green up much after they came. I finally went to Lowe's and bought my own fertilizer and applied it myself and my yard looks much better. The main reason though I hired these guys was for weed control. My yard has a bunch of the weeds that have the little yellow flowers (not dandelions, much smaller) Senske would come spray my yard and it would knock the weeds back for a week or so, but they would come right back. After three times, they are as prevalent as ever. When I called them ask asked about it, they said they would be happy to come out again for another treatment at an additional $50 After 3 treatments now, it's obvious they cant get rid of the weeds. I might even conclude that their treatments are very weak applications so they can keep coming back at $50 an application. A colleague at work had the same experience with these guys and advised me not to use them (he had problems with different weeds than mine, they were not able to get rid of his weeds either). But because these guys seemed so professional, and they have good ratings on Angie's List, I thought I'd give them a try anyway. I can't recommend them.

Made and appointment online for aeration and seeding with a very nice person. The appointment was for Oct. 12th. I told them I need to know what day so I could have my yard mowed and leaves up. After having this discussion I was informed they were going to come on the 12th a Saturday. I was off work the 10th and 11th so it would be perfect. It was to rain on the 10th which gave me the 11th to get it done. They came on the 10th in the rain without telling me they wanted to move the appt. I was not home. Because they came on the wrong day the hose was on the lawn and so they didn't aerate the area it was on. They then proceeded to overseed my flowerbeds I had cleared in the backyard next to my fence. When I asked the next day why they came on the 10th instead of the appt. date. They said that there was a storm coming in over the weekend and they wanted to miss it...Which is funny since the day they came it had been raining all day. The 11th and 12th were to be perfect days. They also stated there was nothing noted on the account that they couldn't come earlier and that I never mentioned I needed to be called. This is not true. It is always noted when and APPT. is made if it needs changed to call the customer.
They offered to come and spray the area next to the fence so it wouldn't grow. and to reseed the front after it was cut and cleared of leaves. Also to aerate the area under the trees where the hose had been.
They came back on the 18th and reseeded the front lawn like stated. But didn't aerate the corner they missed the first time. They then proceeded to the backyard where they aerated the seeds into the flowerbeds and only sprayed the seeded area under the fence.
I will not use them again. They didn't want to work a Saturday and shouldn't have made the appointment. I would have been okay with a weekday only If I knew when they were coming to have the leaves up to get the best conditions. But to tell me it was my fault and then make a bigger mess of the flowerbeds when they weren't suppose to do anything but spray,

Senske is very good about scheduling and giving me a call when they are on their way. This is necessary because it takes me a couple of minutes to get my dogs in the house and the gate unlocked.
The service is the best I've found. They are careful to spray the yard thoroughly, and answer questions willingly.

They have been very good to work with. The services have been provided on a home that is rented and we live in another state. The lawn is noticeably improved.

This is my second season using Senske. I am very pleased with their service. My lawn looks better now than it has for years of using several other lawn services, which I found to be more interested in rushing through the application than in doing a thorough job. Also, they are spot-on with their scheduling. They provide a day and a time frame for their service, which I appreciate. Also, I have two dogs and asked that they call me when they are on their way over so that I can get my dogs in the house before they get here, which they do willingly. I am very comfortable recommending this company. You won't be disappointed.

I don't think that it's doing my lawn any good. I can see the spots that they have been fertilized and the spots that haven't. The workers show up when lawn season comes around. My husband is the one that keeps hiring this company.

They always come and do the work. They call first, but I don't know if I would hire them again for future work. I don't know enough about the competition.

This company is friendly and professional. They come to the door to let me know they are here. If I can't have them there that day, they will come back. I don't have to pay up front. If they spray for weeds and the weeds come back right away, they wil

They were very good. They told me what to do after they were done for continued care. They called in advance to see if I was home. I recommend them. Their final cost was exactly the cost of the estimate.

They have friendly people. If there is a problem, they will come right back out and fix it. The lawn looks great when they finish.
