River Valley Lawn Care focuses on lawn treatments, with customers describing greener lawns and favorable pricing alongside one detailed scheduling dispute. The East Hartford company says it is family owned and has served Connecticut for more than 25 years. It advertises granular fertilization, grub control, crabgrass prevention, weed control and tick control, along with free estimates. In July 2025, a customer praised Lynn’s follow-up on phone questions and said the lawn had visibly improved at an affordable price. A June 2022 reviewer said treatments cost about $30 less than they had been paying, while an August 2023 customer praised nine years of lawn results. Google shows 3.9 stars from 11 ratings. An August 2022 customer described a different experience when trying to restart service and arrange reseeding. After contacting the office repeatedly from July onward, they said the company declined service on the grounds that they were hard to reach. The customer disputed that explanation and said they were left without the seeding they expected by late August. River Valley’s Connecticut home improvement contractor registration is expired.
Lynn, who answers the phone, is incredibly responsive and always gets back to us with answers to our questions. If she doesn’t know something right away, she takes the time to find out and always follows up. That level of communication really sets them apart. On top of that, the service itself is effective and affordable. I’ve noticed real improvement in the lawn, and the value is outstanding — especially compared to the larger corporate lawn care companies. Local, dependable, and professional — highly recommend
Best lawn in the neighborhood 9 years in a row!
Last year went good, however I did not go on auto renew. I paid by check AZAP for each treatment. This year I decided to start again, and have my lawn reseeded. I contacted the office beginning of July, and a woman stated to me she would send someone over. I never saw anyone and no note was on door (last year they always left a note on the door, to explain and/or invoice). I contacted the office 3 times to coordinate. The last phone call I made stated I needed to talk to Bill but he was busy and would get back to me. Today, 3 days later I received a call and a woman stated they cannot service my lawn because I am hard to reach? There is always someone home, as my husband is retired and I work from home. I only received 1 voice mail message. The problem is my lawn should be seeded NOW as it's the end of August and that's when they did it last year. So they left me hanging!
Great value for their services. Lawn looks great and now I pay about $30 less per treatment.
