Critical:Quality When we started 2 years ago, the lawn looks great. Now, we have dead plants that no one has addressed and weeds throughout our lawn. I agree with the review below that there has been more time in between treatments where we have had to call.

We have been using Perfection Lawn for over a year now. They treat our lawn, spray for bugs and do spider mitigation in our lanai. For years I've tried to do this myself with limited effectiveness. The spider mitigation is my favorite as the webs just don't come back. Services:Ant extermination, Termite extermination, Spider extermination, Cockroach extermination, Rodent extermination

I couldn't have asked for a better lawn care service. The expertises and professionalism went far beyond my expectations. When my wife and I first moved in to our new home, our grass was looking pretty rough. But with Perfection Lawn and Pest Control to the rescue, I couldn't be more happier. I tell all my friends who are having difficulties with their grass, to please contact this company.

Supposed to treat my lawn every two months. Each time they come later and later. Out of an anticipated Schedule on the 4th of the month. They serviced on the 8th of the month. Not a problem. Now two months later I called on the 12th, left a voice mail. Called again on the 16th. Debbie said that she called me which was not true. After voicing my concerns she said that my expectations were to high.
That there is NO GUARANTEE OF A TIME SCHEDULE. And this is after I paid them. $200.00. I asked for a refund since I cannot rely on them and all she did was argue with me. Debbie said I'm expecting to much from them. Needless to day I am looking for a more reliable company. The pictures attached are weeds and hitchhikers that are taking over my lawn and a picture of them on my socks as I walked through my lawn to take the pictures. Yeah I guess my expectations of a weed free lawn are way to high.
