TruGreen

TruGreen is a national lawn-care company offering treatment-based services — fertilization, weed control, and pest and mosquito control — rather than mowing or landscape design; the company itself says lawn mowing and landscaping aren't services it sells. The company is Better Business Bureau accredited with an A+ grade, and on Angi it holds a 4.0-star average from 87 ratings. That average comes with a real split, though: about one in five of those Angi ratings are 1-star, and individual accounts back that up. One customer described paying $1,500 for treatments and ending up with a lawn full of weeds instead of grass; a 2021 employee review on Indeed alleged staff were told to tell customers what they wanted to hear rather than the truth to keep them from canceling. On the other side, a homeowner writing in April 2026 said early treatments showed promise and that the company was upfront that full results can take up to a year — a pattern a review roundup on ConsumerAffairs also points to, describing a service lineup that runs from basic lawn maintenance to pest control and lawn recovery, while flagging the monthly cost as worth weighing. Before signing up, it's worth asking what results to expect and by when, getting the monthly cost in writing, and checking in early if the lawn isn't responding — that's when problems seem to show up first.
