I saw the two big ones out in full force yesterday, t-3000 running right thru water 2" deep and spreading.

I really cant believe them.

Hey, Lawns4life, I am a commercial technician for Trugreen. We don't do any mowing. I deal with several mowing companies with both residential and commercial. Let me know if your still looking for someone. I can get you a great deal and take care of your customers.

Well that's just rude, you've never seen my work or you wouldn't be so disrespectful.

But its not really up to you...... its up to the branch or corprate to dictate what and when its getting put down.

Can you explain why your tru-green co workers were out close to a month ago all ready putting down the first app? over snow and across the standing water? in case they didnt know the ground is still frozen?

We dont doubt you can do good work, its the company in general that forces you guys to to shaddy work.

Lawns4life would like to discuss the possibilities of more accounts and to explain our company IPM and profile. This could work because I get asked alot on recommending a company for cutting. Call or text 8103584614 for more contact info

As I mentioned, I am a commercial technician and I am not out fertilizing yet. I currently have over 150 residential customers that are done under the commercial department because they are sub contracted to me. None of these properties will ever get treated until I say they get treated. I don't know what experience you have had in the past with Trugreen but there have been a lot of changes and I control what and when I do with my customers not the branch manager. I am considering starting Tuesday but I am waiting to see what happens this weekend. If I do not feel it is time, then I will not go out.

As you can see by my user name, I am not just and employee of Trugreen but I am also a small business owner who knows how to treat my customers right which is why I have had the same customers minus 1 for 6 years now.

Unthinkable to start throwing Fert./pre before April. Looking at night time

temps at or below freezing dictates. Truth be told it is the ground temp.

that lets us know when to apply, there are sites that monitor this. I follow

the GDDTracker. Growing Degree days is what everyone should follow.

Yep I agree about tg. They started 2 weeks ago on my side of town but yet the ground is still frozen. Lots of my customers are switching from tg to a local company that I started working with. Night and day difference and 2 less apps.
