Green Lawn Fertilizing

I tend not to write negative reviews but this one has to be written. I was a customer for two years. I am no longer. My lawn is worse now after this last year. A service manager is never in unless you want to cancel your service. They will show up whenever. They added services to the package without my consent. At least they called saying they where going to come out and service the lawn so I could cancel the additions. Just very disappointed after the first year.

I signed up these fellas this past Spring and have been very happy with the results. I had dandelions and a few other kinds of weeds in my grass that they knocked out after a couple of visits. I was convinced these weeds were otherworldly mutants until they came in and got rid of them. The fertilizer has really made a difference as well. My grass is definitely fuller and greener than it was in the past. I do have to mow it more often, but hey… I guess that benefits me since I get to sweat out a few more pounds over the summer.
I am a bit of a penny pincher, so I got price quotes from Trugreen and Scotts and Green Lawn Fertilizing was right around the same price. I decided to go with them because I prefer to work with local folks. National brands only really care if they accidentally burn down your house or something. The Green Lawn people are local, so they care about their reputation which means they do everything possible to make sure you are happy. The people I spoke with on the phone were super friendly and helpful in explaining all the products that they use in their lawn treatments. They are super knowledgeable. After spring/​summer of using Green Lawn I am very happy with the decision I made.

WOW! They really took care of me. My lawn was at a point, was not looking to good. I called and they took care of it. Its back to being perfectly GREEN! Amazing company. They take care of their customers like gold.

I called Green Lawn to do grub control lawn treatment, the service for which I promptly paid. Next year I decided not to use Green Lawn anymore and contracted with another lawn company. Eight months after the first Green Lawn service were rendered, I received a bill form a Green Lawn by mail for services I never unauthorized. I’m working from home and know if anyone stops by the house. None was at my property to do anything. I contacted customer service and kindly explained to them that I would not be paying for an unauthorized service, which was not even performed. They continued to bill me for those unauthorized services, and sent my bill to collection agency. Stay away from Green Lawn.

Beware of these guys, last time I saw that they put down really little/​no fertilizer if your lawn is good. This is a ripoff.

Thank you for your note, however I would be more impressed if you actually contacted me to discuss the problems with my lawn as you said you would in your response. Instead I received a termination of services letter from Green lawn, stating that I was not happy with your pricing and therefore wanted to terminate my services.
Wow…What a way to handle a three year customer.

I had an unauthorized visit from a Green Lawn today. They sprayed and promptly left me an invoice. The thing is, I never agreed to the service nor did I extend them an invitation to treat my yard (I wasn’t even home at the time they showed up)!
I contacted customer service and kindly explained I would not be paying for an UNauthorized service. They continued to insist on billing me for unauthorized services/​visitation to my property uninvited.
Once I threatened the BBB, they waived the charges immediately.
I had service with this lawn care company last year and they told me that while they don’t have contracts that they will candidly admit to trespassing in an attempt to gain Clients from prior years.
I wasn’t looking for a freebie or a handout but my goodness? Talk about being bullied — especially since I have NO CONTRACT.
That is not a way to keep business or encourage others to give them a try. Shake my head.
REALLY? DID YOU SEE THE RESPONSE FROM THE OWNER? SINCE WHEN DOES IT MAKE IT RIGHT TO GO TRESPASSING ON LAWN’S SINCE THEY CLAIM TO HAVE A AUTO RENEW POLICY? I HAD NO CONTRACT. YOU ARE NOT INVITED TO MY PROPERTY AND DON’T MAKE IT YOUR BUSINESS TO INVITE YOURSELF. I DON’T GIVE A DAMN WHAT OTHER COMPANIES DO. IT’S YOUR COMPANY’S ETHICS THAT COME INTO QUESTION WHEN YOU TRESPASS.

Great company. Outstanding people top to bottom, and no weeds!
I have used Trugreen in the past and Scott’s and I will never go back I found my home at Green Lawn.
If you want great service and a green lawn these are the people to contact.

Horrible-​I live in central NJ & I don’t know which subsidiary of green lawn fertilizing serviced my lawn but this location is who I contacted with problems. I thought I would give this service a try because the price was cheaper than my local lawn doctor who serviced my lawn 2yrs in a row & my lawn was the best looking on the block. This co. burnt up my lawn in spots with over fertilizing! They did respond when contacted and They attempted to fix areas by spot reseeding, but the grass did not, & has not recovered properly. I have been upset all summer. I am still extremely upset. One side of my lawn is still brown. This side connects to my neighbor who I just found out also uses green lawn. His lawn also looks burnt up & brown. I don’t know what this co is doing but they are either using people who have not a clue about lawns, or the mix is not right for my state. I am so sorry I ever left lawn doctor, but I am running back & I don’t care what they cost. and cancelling green lawn immediately. I definitely do not recommend them for nj.
Lest I forget, I also used their external perimeter pest services. They were supposed to spray the foundation all around the house, twice I received a note stating that they sprayed the front & sides of the house ONLY! that is not the perimeter. I called about this the first time while the guy was here & he had to spray the rest of the foundation. Last week they sprayed again, & again left the same note. which tells me he knows not the meaning of perimeter. I am too through. I cancelled. Although they «sprayed» I saw more spiders than I have in years. I had the yard armor service from lawn dr before this service & was never overrun with pests. Again, this service is not good.

Green Lawn cares about their customers and it shows. They have consistently delivered great service for my property. Lawn care is often at the mercy of the weather. Unless you are dedicated to watering, weeding and manicuring your lawn consistently you should hire a pro to help out.
As the review from S.M. states «Green Lawn recognizes the variables that affect your lawn. Any time there’s an issue with weeds or feeding, I call, they come. No problems, no excuses. They appreciate you are paying for their service and show it by servicing your needs.» I have not had to call them back more than one time a season. The guys and gals that come to service my property are always friendly, courteous and professional.
My recent Tech: Aaron Karbowniczek even took the time on his last visit to take additional care of my planters and borders. I like when they are proactive to problem areas!
Keep up the good work!

We have used other lawn care providers with limited success. Two years ago I made the switch to Green Lawn Fertilizing and our lawn looks tremendous. Our neighbors remark about how great the grass looks! Even when their is a minor concern on our part, it only takes one simple phone call to Green Lawn and they resolve the issue.
Those other companies keep calling and trying to get our business back but it simply wont happen.

I had them make one application fall, 2013. WITHOUT ANY COMMUNICATION, they came on my property this morning (4÷1÷2014) and applied fertilizer. They said they have the right to ‘automatically renew” which they do not.
1. I only used them for one service which was in the fall so technically they should only provide me with one service.
2. What if the house was sold and new occupants did not want their service.
3. What if the new 2014 rates were not to my liking?
This ‘automatic renewal is a marketing ploy. They certainly agreed to ‘write off the bill’, but if my lawn is damaged, I will take them to court.

I was a Green Lawn For two years, My lawn always looked the same, full of weeds crab grass, all the stuff I paid for.
They said I need lymie treatment, pais $ 300.00 inadvance for that sevice. the lawn looked the same.
lot of wasted money after two year, I have switched services. Customer service is not there at this place.

I used Green Lawn for 4 years. The do what is needed to get by and will address issues as they arise. I don’t want to have to manage the lawn company

I notice that the other glowing review was written 5 years ago. Maybe the company has changed hands — maybe not. This morning this company sent one of their people to our home in Ambler. (Actually it is 156 homes in a development). I heard the sound of a vehicle moving pretty fast past my house but thought nothing of it. When I went out about 30 minutes later there was huge chunks of my yard ripped to shreds by the guy riding the fertilizing machine! I saw the guy further down the development and went out to approach him to let him know about the damage he had caused to my yard. Forget it! He was doing about 40 mph thru the yards digging up chunks of ground as he went. My wife called the co to report this incident and while apologetic I am still left with huge gashes to my yard. 1 last thing. The previous co would let us know they had laid down poison either with little flags or letters on our mailboxes this co did neither! Unless you like having your yard destroyed I would recommend seeking out another co to provide this service!

We had their service last year and it did NOTHING. Waste of money! To make it even worse, they came out and did another treatment at the beginning of this season because I didn’t call to cancel my service. They are charging me for service I didn’t order or want. Don’t get sucked in.

My lawn looked worse after their treatments. I went back to Scott’s and my lawn improved immediately. Not that I like Scott’s that much either, because the one locally insists on 7 treatments a year, which is overkill.

Terrible — Greenlawn burnt and tore up my lawn! Had called and scheduled service with them, but also told them that the lawn was new and the sod was layed about a month ago. When they came to do the fertilizing and weed control, they used a big riding machine and tore up spots in my lawn, and burnt other areas where they turned around by over-​fertilizing. I now have bare spots that need to be re-​sodded. Their only suggestion would be to re-​seed, but this would take months to grow back in, after having spent about $ 2k for nice, new sod.

I had the Green Lawn service for two years and felt the results were poor.
Be careful of their business practices. they will call and if you are not able to answer your phone and leave a message that they are coming out the next day. If you do not catch the message they will come out and provide a service that you did not order verbally, they just assume you want the service,

Going about building a local business the right way. Green Lawn cares about their customers and it shows. They have consistently delivered great service for my property for 4 years now.
Lawn care is a mix of art and science and, more often than not, at the mercy of weather. No lawn care service can guarantee a perfect lawn all summer long unless they are out watering as well.
Green Lawn recognizes the variables that affect your lawn. Any time there’s an issue with weeds or feeding, I call, they come. No problems, no excuses. They appreciate you are paying for their service and show it by servicing your needs.
They treat you the way a company should treat customers. Other home contractors should follow their lead for service, reliability and class.
