I do not have your service this year. I called twice and was told I was not on schedule for services and would not be billed. But for some reason I got a bill but did not authorize service and did not see anyone provide a service.

I had all new sod installed, then hired True Green. Over a 1/4 of an acre is dead, All weeds now. In the front I had new sod installed, 2 years of True Green all dead. I talk to the manger he tells me he will split the front areas and will plug it. Less than a year later completely all new plugs you installed are completely dead, now all weeds. This is why I fired True Green. You do not stand behind your work ! You do not maintain new sod. I have bahia in the back and sides and St Augustine in the front. The worse experience of my life. I can't even imagine the Thousands of dollars I spent with True Green over the years !

I still have weeds in the back yard from 4/2 so I might need to look at another service. I also noticed weeds in the front from my new sod.

Be warned about using TruGreen. They skipped huge parts of our complex. They improperly distributed product such that grass burned out in patches. (One of our owners checked up on them with his camera with each visit.) As a longer term customer, we requested some price consideration for all the problems we had. No one got back to us and we did not return their 2026 contract. They came anyway, skipped part of our lawn (again) and sent us an invoice. As I said, be warned.

I've had two applications to my lawn and I am constantly picking weeds out of my lawn. Not what I have envisioned when I hired Tru Green. Not sure if I will continue with this company.
