So fuck lawn services....
« on: April 26, 2016, 11:59:25 AM »
Used one last year.  Paid like $800 bucks or something and it was only marginally better -- at best -- than when I used to just throw weed and feed out of a Lowes bucket.   

So yeah, no. 

Got a call today wanting to know how I wanted to handle the $849 charge and late fee.   
Charge for what? 
Well, we kept sending people out. 
Yes, of course you did. I signed fucking annual maintenance agreement in May last year.
Well the contract was for a year, or seven visits and we came out and did some extra work a few times, so you were out of visits.
Do you understand the term annual?
Well it says annual or number of visits.  So when you were out of visits and then we came in January, that renewed the agreement automatically.
So you renewed it yourself without notifiying me by coming out IN JANUARY to spray my lawn as part of my annual agreement?  And now you want me to pay you for visits and late fees?
No, you renewed it when they sprayed your yard.
No, I wasn't here.  They just did it and left a plastic bag on the front door saying they'd been by.
That was the renewal.
So your years have seven months?
No, our years have seven visits.
That's not a year and I signed an annual agreement.
Yes, an annual agreement that had seven visits.
Did I tell you to make the eighth?
No, but it was time so we did.  Now you owe for the next year, plus late fees.
How can an annual agreement be late five months before it expires.
Because you were out of visits. 
Yeah, that's not going to happen.  I'm not paying it, not paying the late fees and not renewing dick, shit or squat. 
I'll have our manager call you.
How many months are in his year?

We have a company come out for the spraying and fertilizing.  They charge $71.00 a quarter and send a renewal agreement.  Your choice whether to renew or not....no automatic renewal. 

Which reminds me, I have to call them back.  Back yard's not taking off. A lot of dead patches.  I just realized why the other morning when I saw a bird on the back patio eating a mole cricket.  Those ugly bastards will eat a yard up.  Thanks for posting.  I'm calling right now.

I just did one of those 8 treatments for $750 for the year with trugreen, I signed up 2 weeks ago and they've already been out here twice. I'm thinking by the end of summer I'll be on my 4th year with them.

$112.00 to treat for mole crickets.  Not part of the basic plan.  Oh well, it's better than having ghetto lawn.

get of your lazy, rich ass and head to lowes.   get a granular lawn insecticide.  buy a scott's drop spreader.  read the fucking label.  adjust to the correct setting.  walk and drop.  water.  repeat  4 to 6 weeks.   

lawn companies are fucking raking in all your cash but not your leaves.

I get my stuff from Oldham Chemical off Hwy 90, behind Ken's Car Tunes, in Mobile, Alabama. Granulesfer the yard and aerosol with an IGR for the premises. I'm sure any John Deere Landscaping supply has what yer needing and can sell to some things to the public. John Deere is too expensive for me and I refuse to buy that watered down bullshit from home improvement stores. Tractor Supply carries some stuff too.

That automatic renewal tactic should be illegal. DirecTV and I presume other cable companies pull the same bullshit.

You should read your contract when you sign up.  It's in there.

Whether it is or it isn't "in the contract" the practice is deceptive.  I signed an annual maintenance contract with a schedule of applications.  It ran for a year.  I don't remember the specific dates but there was a fertilizer one, a pest control one, a pre-emergent, etc.  All scripted to end or renew this month.  Anything outside that should have been clearly communicated. It was not.   I did not once request additional visits or ask for a change of the schedule to which I agreed.  The company deciding at its sole volition to perform additional treatments outside that schedule should not be my responsibility.  Leaving a bag on my door after the fact is not sufficient.
