Lawn Care (weed and feed done by true green/Scott's lawn service?)

Anyone have experience with having a company weed and feed their lawn? I had back surgery a few months ago and have not been able to do any yard work.

I have Tru Green and really like them. They turned my backyard around. It was ate up with weeds and now it is beautiful grass. They try to sell things like aeration and other upsale stuff, but I never buy it. I think it is about ~$500 for the year. I would always forget to put weed/feed, winterizer, etc. Definitely worth it to me.

I have not used them, but I have to admit that the folks in my neighborhood that do usually have some damn nice yards...I have thought of giving them a try as well from time to time...

I used true green for a few years and just canceled my contract b/c I no longer trust them.
I did see improvements in my yard from when they started but I didn't feel like I was getting custom care that was promised when I originally signed up.

They typically don't do as many applications as your contract states.

I do yards and the outrageous prices though people charge a retarded. If you do the easy three step process you'll have a beauitful yards

I had a terrible experience with Tru Green when they set me up on revolving lawn treatments even though I only requested one year of service. Long story short, I had a rental house, wanted the lawn to look nice for the tenants for the year, TruGreen continued to bill me for another year and then I get a collections bill of $99. No phone calls, letters, nothing. After several heated conversations with management they agreed they were wrong and had the credit bureau remove it. I'd go with a local company since the chemicals are the same, but better local service.

This. My father-in-laws company charges roughly $300/yr for a 10,000 sq ft yard. That covers six applications plus two bed treatments.

How much do you charge for half acre lot?

Hell no. Tried this for a year. Yard looked and stayed crappy. Even sprayed my neighbors yard once instead of mine. Called to cancel and when told them that the yard looked no better than a year prior, the response was "well, you should have called us to come out and retreat it." Ummmm, what? You couldn't a tell each time you came it looked like shite?
Do I what I ended up doing: take camera photos of lawn and close up of weeds, go to reputable local nursey, show the hippie working there, and then buy their shite. Cheaper, better results, and less headache in the long run.

I wouldn't be against trying it out but I have a house on 3 acres. Would cost me a fricking fortune.
Posted on 3/10/15 at 11:32 pm to CaptainJ47
What's the point in maintaining all 3 acres?

Seeing that the pool is in the backyard it would be nice to have all of that top notch. I could probably get away with 2 and let it go as it hits some of the trees, but I don't want my shite halfass'd

I have to do something - lawn and flower bed look like sheet.
ScottCare (I think that's the name) comes around once in a while, but they looked like a rip off.

3 Steps won't get you shite. Sorry To rain on your parade

Pull weeds and apply snapshot to your beds.

I use Scott's Lawncare and I am not sure I will for much longer. I would love to find a local service that will do the same thing for me. Any suggestions in the Broussard/Lafayette area. Thanks.

I just started paying for the service in Houston. The owner before me did and the yard looked great. Its 4 applications per year at $37 an application. That doesn't include insect protection though. Even the top of the line package was significantly less than $500.

I use Scott's. Never used anything back in LA when I had st Augustine grass. Now dealing with fescue, which is a pain in the arse. Have to aerate/overseed every fall, and it doesn't overtake weeds/spread like st aug. Not thrilled with Scott's, to be honest.
