Lawn care Trugreen contract
Posted on 7/11/22 at 1:57 pm

I received a bid from true green for 9000 square ft yard. Basically $78.50 for each treatment each season and aeration of $157 (from what I understand they do the plugs) so $785 and with a discount $746.
Thoughts or should I look around at other options.

You said you were in S. Louisiana, where? I had tru-green at my old house and sucked.

Ah, can't help you. I am in Lafayette and switched to lawn doctor. I am much happier with them. They may have a franchisee in BR.
ETA: It appears they do.

We’ve used green leaf in the Baton Rouge area - not impressed

You can request a quote from us here, but I can tell you now we are about $12 more for our per service price. We don't skimp on chemicals/fertilization, though. We are assuming Trugreen and others don't use the chemicals they say or dilute the product.

sounds reasonable, but trugreen has a poor reputation for the most part. You may want to look for a local guy, where the owner treats your yard.

When I had trugreen my grass was not growing and was kind of yellow. Finally somewhere around June I called to inquire. The owner’s reply was that they hadn’t put any fertilizer down. I looked at the details of my services and he was correct. Out.

TrueGreen is a scam. Idk how they stay in business.
Most of the shite they treat your yard with kills the grass. Buddy of mine paid over 1k to get his yard treated and burned off all his grass.
I've heard this story more than a few times. Stay away

For 785 dollars you can get enough herbicide and fertilizer to last you a decade and rent a core aerator multiple times.
No bullshite.
The only way this makes sense is if you.
A. Don't care about actual results.
and
B. Don't want to sweat.
The only thing that's gonna be more green is their pocketbook.

Tru green in the Monroe area is not good. Lots of excuses. I had to call them to get service and then still missed 2 of my 7 scheduled services.
Always had an excuse!

I use it because tall fescue here is a more finicky grass than I had in Louisiana. You also have to aerate/overseed pretty much every year. If I had st Augustine, Bermuda, centipede, I wouldn’t bother and would do it myself.
What kind of grass do you have?

I like Treppendahl. Check into it.

Mostly st Augustine and centipede

I caught TruGreen NOT applying fertilizer to my lawn with the Nest cam on 3 occasions. I complained and they sent a different guy out the first 2 times. 3rd time I fired them.

True green is awful. They'll never spend more than 5 minutes in your yard. Zero attention to detail and low quality seed and sprays.
