My husband and I are DIYers when it comes to most things. We take on many home remodeling projects and plenty of outdoor projects including tree removal, landscaping, and gardening. Although we love having a lush green yard, we have never been able to attain it on our own. We started using TruGreen a couple years ago and cannot believe the difference it made. We are receiving lawn care service this Summer to show you the results and facilitate this post. We thought we were doing all the right things as home owners for years and years but we didn’t have the science-based solutions that TruGeen does!
We started out with very weak grass that was filled with lots of crab grass and weeds. TruGreen came out to give us a Healthy Lawn Analysis by a TruGreen PhD certified specialist 2 year ago. He took samples of our yard from various spots to come up with a scientific plan that was truly unique to our yard – it even differed from the back to front yard! They have it down to a science!
TruGreen took care of the weeds right away with a +Nitrogen +Phosphorous +Potassium Fertilizer to our yard. You can see exactly where TruGreen was and wasn’t used because the weeds start where TruGreen ends! Compare our yard now to our neighbor’s yard below – our yard use to look even worse than our neighbor’s before TruGreen!


There is a huge difference! May and June is prime season for Chickweed, clover and dandelions in Ohio. How does your yard look? Our TruGreen specialist Charles does an amazing job on our lawn every summer. It takes him only about 1/2 hour once a month or so to get our lawn in shape and keep it that way!
Check out this close up of our thick our grass is in just two years of treatment! We have never had a yard so thick and lush!
DIY vs Professionals at TruGreen
The thing about DIY lawn work is that we are not all trained to know our exact lawn care’s needs. If we get it wrong, there is no money back or satisfaction guarantee. With TruGreen, you’ll love your lawn with their 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Many DIYers do their own work to save money – we do this for many, many projects around the house. However, TruGreen lawn plans start at just $194.25 a year – count it up, don’t you spend that much at your local garden store buying all the fertilizers with mediocre results – and your own labor?


You, your neighbors, even your kids and pets can feel and see the difference. Compare our neighbor’s yard with my puppy below to our yard – it’s just more fun to play on a thick, lush lawn!
With TruGreen, you get a scientific approach to your lawn that you’ll never get as a DIYer – plus a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Call TruGreen at 866-549-9077 to get your lawn in shape this summer!
