Customer Reviews

Britt Cantrell

Was with Emerald Lawns for 5 years and had to cancel. They damaged my lawn several times due to careless techs. They nonchalantly sprayed fertilizer once and made my front lawn look like a cheetah. Another time, a tech spilled a bag of fertilizer across my lawn leaving puddles and killing grass. I had neighbors asking me what happened to my lawn. After that, I told them I only wanted grub control and pre-immigrant treatments. They said they apologize and they’ll only do those two services annually. And guess what, they still came out to my lawn, and fertilized without my authorization and charged me. Waiting on my refund now and had to cancel services. I wish I could share photos of my property on here for everyone to see the damage. It’s a shame. This is a prime example of a company expanding too quickly to be able to keep up with quality control. Their techs use to care and be very knowledgeable. It’s a new tech every time now that has no care in the world.

I had the service my lawn for a few years until my lawn health continued to decline. I went with a new company who focused on soil health. I canceled months ago and they keep sending people (3 times now) to try to service my lawn. I called in 3 times and emailed on the website- they WILL NOT STOP. I’d never work with them again. This is a shady tactic to try to trick customers into continued servicing who tried to cancel. Also, there making me waste my time calling over and over.

Watch out for the drivers of Emerald Lawns! His unprofessional driving, face in the phone, and road rage almost caused an accident with my 2 small children and I just trying to safely get to our destination. I called their number to complain and warn them one of their drivers is gonna cause an accident in their COMPANY vehicle but the Temple Supervisor Nick never called me back. I'm sure they'll care whenever they get sued for an accident involving who ever was driving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Emerald Lawns assess a lawn before planning treatment?

It evaluates the lawn’s health, soil condition, grass type and weed presence, then uses that assessment to shape a care plan.

What does Emerald Lawns recommend before liquid aeration?

It recommends mowing and lightly watering the lawn beforehand. After applying the solution across the lawn and focusing on compacted areas, it finishes with a thorough watering.

Does Emerald Lawns perform grading?

No. It says lawn leveling addresses small surface irregularities, while grading involves larger structural changes; it does not perform grading.

Are Emerald Lawns' lawn treatments safe for children and pets?

The company describes its products as pet- and kid-friendly and recommends keeping children and pets off the lawn until the treatment dries, typically one to two hours.

Will one of Emerald Lawns' leveling applications fill every hole?

Usually not; additional applications may be needed because sand can settle into air pockets during watering or rain.
