Choosing a Lawn Care Company: 7 Common Lawn Care Service Complaints

Nobody likes to be the customer who complains. So sometimes you put up with bad service, just to avoid an uncomfortable confrontation.

Then you just simmer, quietly fuming, until your blood pressure goes up, you’re in a bad mood, and even that mint-chip ice cream in the freezer can’t cheer you up.

How about avoiding all that hassle by choosing a lawn care company that offers such great service, there’s no need to complain?

At Lawn Buddies, we know the things people hate about lawn care companies. Choose a lawn care company that won’t do them.

Take a look.

1. You Don’t See Lawn Improvement

You hired them to remove weeds, make your lawn healthier and greener.

So why does it still look the same?

Remember, it takes time to get a lawn into shape, so be patient. It’s not fair to file a lawn care complaint just because you haven’t seen results in a couple of weeks.

But if your Idaho Falls lawn care company has been treating your lawn for months and you don’t see any improvement, you have the right to be grouchy.

2. They Don’t Return Your Calls

Ugh, this is frustrating. You should be able to reach your lawn care company by phone when you need them.

Or they should at least call you back soon.

3. They Don’t Show Up

Hard to believe, right? However, this actually happens, and it’s among the top complaints from lawn care companies. No excuse.

4. They Leave a Mess

Maybe they leave messy clippings lying around. Or they leave the gate open. Or you find fertilizer granules littering your driveway and sidewalks. It’s just plain rude.

5. You Never Know if They Actually Showed Up

This is frustrating. Maybe your lawn care company showed up to fertilize or treat weeds. Maybe they didn’t. How are you supposed to know?

6. They Make Things Complicated

When the menu of services, plans, and options is so long that actual weeds have sprouted in the time it took you to get through it, it’s worth complaining.

7. They Don’t Care About Your Whole Lawn’s Health

When a lawn care company zips in, sprays your lawn and zips out, how much attention can they really be paying to what your lawn really needs?

Real lawn health involves more than fertilizer and weed killer.

How Lawn Buddies Prevents Lawn Care Complaints

Your buddies know exactly what drives you crazy, because friends know that stuff.

So here’s how we work hard to prevent lawn care complaints:

• A no-nonsense lawn program. Some companies have so many complicated tiers of lawn care services that you could mow and fertilize your lawn in the time it takes just to choose one.

• We might be on your property to fertilize and treat weeds, but we care about your whole yard’s health. Got a tree full of sticky aphids? We’ll snap a photo and email it to you. Say the word, and we’ll fix it.

• You’ll love our after-visit videos. Five minutes after our lawn care technician leaves your yard, you’ll get an email with a quick video featuring our technician explaining what they just did and any follow-up tips you need to know.

• Payment is easy. Your credit card will be on file with us, making billing easier. No paper invoices or spending a bunch of time on a website figuring out how to pay. We’ll charge your card automatically a week after our visit.

• We’ll close the gate behind us. If your empty trash can is left out on the curb when we arrive, we’ll haul it back up your driveway.

• You know precisely what you’re getting. No skimping. Take fertilizer, for instance. You get five perfectly timed treatments, from early spring right through fall.

• You’ll have a client portal where you can view your invoices and request services. (It sounds high-tech, but mostly it means we’re here for you.) Had you rather email? We check them and handle them daily.)
