Lawn Service

I've used several lawn services over the years with very mixed results. Most offer you a great price in early spring then you never hear from them until its time for another payment but Lawn Savers is much different .
For the first time I've found a company that truly cares about my lawn and they stress that we are in a 50 /50 partnership .
Your lawn will improve but the customer must do his part as well with regular mowing and watering
The day before each service ,you get a call telling you what application will be done....A written report is left behind indicating the technicians observations and instructions as to what can and cant be done in the next few days....
They stress if you have any questions / concerns call the office and one of their customer service reps will help you out ......
I've done this several times and always get through without long waits on the phone and have always been put in touch with a pleasant , helpful rep .
I couldn't be happier, Keep up the good work Lawn Savers . I look forward to continuing our great partnership !

Lawn service

Recently purchased a full package from this company for the year and during one of the services they broke my sprinkler system. Not only that, they left the water running for 8 hours until I got home to turn it off. When I asked for a refund for the remaining services they up-charged the services and offered a refund for a small amount. They are an extremely dishonest company and would never recommend them to anyone. Please be aware. Finally a response is given 7 months after the incident. There are many inconsistencies and untruths in below response. Buyer beware.

Dr. Paul, (and anyone reading this- please judge the facts)
I'm sorry you feel the way you do.
I delayed response in this forum since, after our extensive discussions of the facts, you suggested this would be made right.
I expected you would do the honourable thing, but it never happened. (please also click on the reviewers name to read his other review)
For the benefit of the reader, here is our first-hand account of what happened:
1. You hired us for a season long package that included core aeration. When we called ahead the day before service we requested you mark the system heads and advise us of any deficiencies (like pipes or wires). We accept you may not have known, but in return, how did you expect us to know???
2. Our aerator machine nicked one of your poly sprinkler pipes. Immediately, our technician knocked on the door and your housekeeper would not answer the door.
Our technician then advised our office and we called you directly to advise turning off the water as a precaution. You and the housekeeper would not allow our technician inside the house to shut off the water for you.
3. You told Stephanie in our office you would do so when you got home. Our technician then left the site.
4. The owner of LawnSavers came to your house the next morning and repaired the pipe at no charge. (in addition to touching up the weeds) and prepared a report.
5. We advised you of the problem with the system over the phone
6. You thanked us over the phone.
7. Days later you cancelled your service, demanded a refund and berated our customer service staff upon learning of the sprinkler system deficiencies.
NOTE: Your sprinkler system's pipes were installed by your own installer (or yourself?) improperly, and directly under your sod. (LawnSavers did not install this system)
8. We refunded you according to our agreement with you at the single service price and only for services received. (you did not get an annual bundle discount and the prepayment discount no longer applied) (not including the sprinkler repair- it was still free)
You threatened a bad review- and there wasn't much more we could do.
We did everything in our power to help you in as timely a fashion as humanly possible.
Where is your bad review of your sprinkler system installer??? I can only assume it was a special deal from a less than reputable contractor who isn't around anymore- Are they a long-standing Landscape Ontario professional member like LawnSavers?
We posted a picture of your actual sprinkler line (available on the www.Lawnsavers.com/blog under the title "faulty sprinkler pipes").
No one left water running all day, the water and pressure that existed ONLY in that line leaked out (to this day, you did not produce a water bill showing any abnormal water usage, which I promised to pay-if any)
Despite your faulty and unmarked sprinkler system we made the repair at no charge and did everything in our power to accommodate and provide great service in an unfortunate situation. If any one feels there was more we could do - please provide suggestions in the comment section of the "faulty sprinkler" blog.

lawn care

Booked LawnSavers in 2013 - about $1000 in lawn care services to restore a poor lawn. They came throughout the summer but we did not see any improvement in the lawn (in fariness, it was a very hot summer) so we decided not to renew. In the fall a letter came saying that if we did not renew, the price would go up. We did not renew then so assumed the service was over.

In the spring, an employee came and applied some lawn treatment. We told that person that we had not booked and did not want any service. Nevertheless, a bill came saying we had been absent at the time of service and were to pay for the application. When we tried to resolve this with customer service they were hostile - blaming us for not reading the fine print of the fall letter and for slow payment. They were rude.

We paid the bill but will never use this service again nor recommend it to others. This company does not care about its customers.

I'm very concerned and surprised by your review. Although I don't know who this is. No one should be treated rudely. I need to know who you are so I can help. Please call me at 905-707-9994 or email me at kylet @ lawnsavers.com. We record calls internally so i can assure you that i will look into this complaint.
We guarantee our lawn renovations as long as you do your part with watering and mowing, so I'm surprised that if their was an issue we weren't informed to address it.
Please note:
1. We inform all our customer that our service continues each season on the phone when you first sign up, your confirmation contract letter before service begins and at least 10 times throughout the season and off-season, by phone call, letters and a call ahead before we begin. We don't like surprises anymore than you do. All we ask is to simply call if you do not want us to come out again.
2. We do not send letters threatening to increase prices if you don't renew, In fact our letters remind you we offer a continuing service on the envelope and within the letter itself. (in fact we haven't raised prices in 2 years)
3. We offer a prepayment discount for early-bird payment.

07/03/14: Please contact me, unfortunately I have no way of knowing who this is. However I would like to positively resolve your concern. Kyle!

Weed Control

As a maintenance contractor, I am often asked to provide recommendations for other services to homeowners. I regularly have to decline the recommendation because I would not want to put my name up against a business that I did not believe in. This is not so with Lawnsavers!
Every time I give one of my clients their number I know the clients’ needs will be met and then some. Lawnsavers is a business I respect and admire and look forward to working with them for many years in the future! Thanks for keeping our properties looking sharp!

Thank you Peter for this kind review. It means a lot coming from someone who is out on lawns and understands the challenges and work required to work together to create green and healthy lawns.
This also speaks highly to the type of service you perform for your clients.

lawncare

We have been using Lawnsavers for 3 years, I found them online and was impressed with their comprehensive website. We are quite satisfied with the service. Our lawn was full of weeds and the grass was not growing well. After the first season, the grass looked a lot greener and thicker. You notice a difference with the weeds by the second year. The technicians are on time and polite. They always leave you with a personalized health report of your lawn along with recommendations. We value mostly the natural and safe products that are used especially since we have a young child. The customer service is very knowledgeable and helpful. I have recommended 2 friends to Lawnsavers.

Thanks you Kelly,
We really appreciate your detailed review.
I also appreciate your patience.
Many companies falsely lead clients to believe a weedy and unhealthy lawn can be turned around in a couple visits. Not true- even with chemicals!
We like to be upfront about expectations.
It takes time (more than one years as you noted) for you start seeing a significant difference. As we work together it will get even better and stay that way! Thanks again. Kyle

Lawn fertilizing and weed control

We used them last year and our lawn didn't improve much. The weed problem was just as bad at the end of the summer as the beginning. The lawn thickened a bit but You can achieve the same results on your own with some seed and fertilizer. This year our lawn is the worst on the block as if nothing took root last year, very disappointing. Also, be warned you will be on the hook for next year as well ....it is in the fine print that if you do not call to cancel they will come every year. Although their sales person never told us that. Before they show up they have an automated service call you if it catches your machine and you don't check your messages they take this as someone picked up and confirmed it was okay for them to come and service your lawn. They claim they also send mail notifications which we never received. They apparently don't need your verbal confirmation to show up at the beginning of the season and treat your lawn. We are being forced to pay 50$ for a service we didn't request or want as the results last year where so disappointing.

Hi Krystal, I'm sorry you had a bad experience. We value your comments and strive hard to provided the best service possible. Our products are the best available in the market and unlike anything you can buy in stores. We also provide call-aheads the day before including emails before and after service as promised in our service agreement. Most of our customers really appreciate the advance notification and special service.
Plants continue to grow and improve each year and because of that, our service is clearly offered as an annual service with no less than 10 reminders sent each year. We don't like surprises either!
Again, I'm sorry we didn't meet your expectations. Please call me and I will make sure you are taken care of.

LawnSavers Plant Health Care

signed up for their full service package in 2013. This will be my 2nd year. My dealing with Donny has been first class. I have a corner property with big lot and boulvard to take care of. The lawn condition was very bad. Within a few month of the LawnSavers treatment the grass was healthy, weeds were disappearing rapidly. But to get 100% result it will take time which is totallly understandable. There is no question on Lawnsavers' customer service, care and honesty. I know they have done the best. My sincere gratitude to Donny for taking care of all our needs. I have been recommending LawnSavers to my colleagues and neighbors.

Onoging Lawncare

Everyone I have dealt with at Lawnsavers has been first class. This is hard to find in ANY business.

We moved into a house with a lawn condition that needed to be repaired quickly. After one season we have noitced favourable results. The folks at lawncare have been easy to deal with, their prices are fair and their people are always on time and offering suggestions in how to improve the lawn. It is nice to know I do not have to worry about my lawn (aside from mowing) as it is in good hands.

Lawn care

I used them in 2013, and they were okay (had to call them a couple of times to see when they'd attend). Having sold my house, I elected to not renew. Since I did not confirm a renewal, I thought no further action was needed on my end. Instead, they showed up last week and applied fertilizer and left a bill. Thinking this was a misunderstanding, I called and expected a reversal of the charge. Instead, I was told that the service renews "automatically" based on wording in their contracts that states "our service continues from year to year". Hence, there was no reversal and they demanded full payment. As a lawyer, I question whether this complies with the Consumer Protection Act. In any event, the contractual wording is not clear. As a loyal customer who paid full in advance the prior year, I would've expected a better outcome. They've lost my business and I would not recommend them to anyone.

Hi Mr. Datt, We specialize in Green and Healthy Lawns and work diligently to know almost everything there is to know about that.
We try really hard to be completely transparent, and in doing so we lay out our simple Service & Partnership agreement in black and white so everyone can understand. We like to help, so I've provided a link to the Consumer Protection Act below: We go over and above the minimum laws to make sure we take care of our customers- you should too.
