Anyone have recommendations for a good lawn service? I'm referring to fertilizing / weed / pest control. I do the mowing and trimming myself. We have used a service which makes 8 applications / year but I'm not satisfied with the results - they're not controlling the weeds and we have lots of crabgrass. Their customer service is also not the best. I'd like to find someone who is really knowledgable and helpful.

Yelp reviews for this company are pretty bad.

Must be looking at the wrong company. One negative review out of 11 and management responded to that review. I think with the exception of a couple of 4s the rest were 5s. I use them for both lawn and pest control. Recently I discovered a tree rat in my house. Fahey came out same day thoroughly inspected my house and attic. The tech said they have an eradication program costing several hundred dollars but did not think it was necessary. Instead recommended a fix for how the rodent gained access which I could easily do myself. No charge, problem solved.

I own a lawn care business I could help you out. You could private message me if you would like. I have been in business in Sarasota for 26 years. I can meet with you and let you know your lawns potential.
Hope to here from you.
