The Green Lawn Company sells and installs inground lawn sprinkler systems, according to its BBB page, which says it was established in Massachusetts in 1986 and employs 10 people. Its site says it can custom design an automatic sprinkler system and names Merrimack and Chelmsford as its service area. Google shows 3.4 stars from 13 ratings; its BBB grade is A+. A 2025 Google customer said the first pre-emergent weed control treatment left rows of crabgrass between rows of good grass, and that the lawn was not rectified until early October. A 2024 customer who had used the company for years to winterize an irrigation system said the workmanship had been fine, but the bill came in $25 higher than the advertised flyer price and the person on the phone was rude. A 2024 reviewer praised its irrigation and lawn fertilizer services, from installations to annual tune ups. A 2022 reviewer said a service person started work after being asked only for a free phone estimate, and that the company then threatened to send the bill to collections. A 2022 customer said they waited 3 hours for a visit and were then told it could be another hour or more.
Absolutely terrible and unacceptable service. From the get go, our yard looked worse than it was before we started services with them. When they put down the pre-emergent weed control on the first treatment it's as if the technician had his eyes closed. As you can see in the pics it almost appears they only dropped it every other direction. So, we had huge rows of awful terrible crabgrass then rows of great grass in between. Literally looked like rows of corn and you can see exactly where they drove and did treat. It looked ridiculous and awful. I called quickly to let them know so they could take care of it and the woman I spoke to had a response of, "Yea, you and everybody else." As if, that's an acceptable answer. Eventually someone came back to use a spray to treat but it looked like they did a spot treatment and it did nothing other than leave browns streaks of dead grass but there was far too much crabgrass at this point as it was spreading rapidly. I reached out again and months later they treated again. It wasn't until early October that they rectified the lawn and it looked ok. Just in time to shut the yard down for the year. Great timing! My yard looked so terrible all year. Meanwhile my neighbors' yards serviced by another company looked gorgeous. Supposed to be something to be proud of but I was embarrassed for anyone to see it. I certainly did not receive the services I paid for and would not recommend this company to anyone. We have taken our business to a new company for the 2025 season. If I could give them zero stars I would. Use at your own risk.
I have been using this company for years to winterize my irrigation system and it has all been fine. The workmanship has been flawless and the people typically are quite nice. However, after this season I just can't recommend them. Prices have increased steadily year over year and not by small amounts for a simple service. They have had issues scheduling and I was forced to reschedule to late November which lucky for me was actually fairly warm so the frost didn't have a chance to freeze my lines. But the final straw for me is the blatant false advertising and the rudeness. I was sent their standard flyer that advertises their prices for winterization for the season and once I got the bill it was $25 higher than advertised. I figured it was just a mistake but when I called to remedy the situation the person on the phone was rude and called it a 'misprint' on the flyer and basically scolded me stating "they're not going to argue over $25" and "next year the price is the one invoiced" and then hung up. If it's in print and they don't tell you the price has changed otherwise it's false advertising period. Green Lawn Company don't you worry about "arguing over $25" next year with me because I will not be using your services again.
Green Lawn is the best locally owned company for irrigation and lawn fertilizer services. From installations to annual service tune ups, their customer service is unmatched
Shady company. Asked for an estimate over the phone, was told it would be free. Instead a service person shows up and starts doing work even though I explicitly asked him not to. Then they threaten to send my bill to collections. Avoid this company, very scammy
Make you wait 3 hours for them to show up only to call and say it could be another hour or more. Stay away
