Anyone use their REGULAR LAWN PROGRAM that comes out 6 times to fertilize? Cost? Thoughts?

Used them last year and they were great. We are moving to a rental while building a new house otherwise I'd use them again this year. Runs about 50 per application and I was able to get one treatment free when committing to the full series. Also had them aerate.

I have used them for a year now and have no complaints. Cost is going to depend on the size of your yard. I have about 7,000 sq ft of grass and I believe I'm paying between $250 and $275 for the regular 6 applications.

$45.20 per application for my lawn and they do a great job. I tried 2 years doing it myself, but we have a lot of clay in our soil so it had gone to crap. I should have overseeded it last year but didnt so I have spots where grass is missing, but the grass is the best it has been in 3 years since I decided to go with them.

Mine looks similar. It was in really bad shape when we bought our house almost 3 years ago. I've tried to revive it myself over the past few summers with little luck. I'm thinking about going with someone like A+ for a year just to get it in good shape, then back off and maintain myself.

Although it ended up looking fine last year so maybe I'll just leave it alone.

Looks like mine. Last summer was a killer on lawns with the heat and lack of rain. I would suggest them, they would get your grass (that you have) going strong. From there you can overseed and aerate in the fall.

We used them last year. They did a good job and their rates are good. We compared them to the other big lawn companies in the area and they were one of the lowest.

Impatience and lawn care do not mix. Few lawns look good in March in Iowa.

Feeding a lawn 6 times a year? Bad idea.
