Green Lawn Fertilizing — Local services in West Goshen Township

2025: Update on Green Lawn Fertilizing (GLF): GLF has performed my first 2 lawn treatments for 2025. Their technician, Eric Matz, does outstanding work and is the one of the main reasons that I continue to use GLF. He always takes the time to walk around my property to check on the lawn condition and then discuss things with me before starting the application, to make sure he knows about any issues that I might have. So far, the weeds appear manageable and the lawn is greening up nicely. The weed problem from last year appears to have been eradicated. If it does reappear, I will have to find out what it will cost to treat it in 2025. For now, I will give GLF 5 stars based on the work performed in 2025 and their committment to delivering the highest level of lawn care service. This is an update to my earlier review. Green Lawn Fertilizing did finally come out this past summer to treat my weed problem. I was told that the weed was something called dallisgrass and that is very difficult to kill. It took two visits to adequately treat the weeds. The service was done at no charge, but I was told that dallisgrass was a special weed that is not covered under my lawn care program, and that I should call Green Lawn Fertilizing for the cost should I need this weed treated in the future. I tried over the next several months to get that cost, but was unable to. Now that it is time to renew my service for 2025, I was contacted by Green Lawn Fertilizing. So I asked their customer service rep about the cost to treat dallisgrass. I was told that it would be about $224 per treatment in 2025. My 2025 lawn care program right now would consist of 8 visits at about $80 a visit. So, having to pay $224 for a single dallisgrass treatment is insane. Time to find a different lawn care company. This is my second year as a customer of Green Lawn Fertilizing. In the Spring of this year, my lawn was looking pretty good. It is now July and my lawn is infested with weeds. I called Green Lawn Fertilizing the week of July 8 to report the weed problem. I was told that someone would come out ASAP to treat the weeds. I then received an e-mail stating that someone would come out on July 18. No one showed up. I called Green Lawn Fertilizing again on July 22. There was no explanation as to why no one came out last week. There was no further information available. This is horrible service. At this point, I would not recommend Green Lawn Fertilizing to anyone. I don't know if service will improve but I have to seriously consider cancelling my treatment plan and finding a more reliable company. Photos of my lawn with weeds...

Very disappointed in the service I received. I started my service last summer. Before signing up, when talking to the salesman I had a couple request besides an overall better lawn. First, due to kids I asked for advance notification before any service. I was told that was not a problem. I was notified of the first service and then never received any advanced notification for any service after. Second, I agreed to the seeding but informed the salesman I had to move an irrigation line and would like it done before the seeding. I just needed to know what week they would seed. Once I again I was not notified and they just showed up and seeded. Which meant I then had to have the line moved and reseeded after they seeded my yard. Aside from that, my lawn looks no better then when I maintained it myself. I followed their whole program including the seeding. I cut my own lawn, have irrigation, and followed all recommendations. After a year the pictures show the status of my lawn. The area by the pool is an area they seeded that is pretty much just weeds. The worst part of the grass is what I believe is Dallis grass. I was told by the application technician they could spray for that. However nothing was ever done, nothing noted in the summary, and when I called in June to complain about the service, I was told nothing on my account showed any issue but that they do have a separate program for that. However, the next application, which was a week after the call, was completed with no service for the weed and nothing in my summary about it. In the year I had them I never received any call from the salesman asking how I was doing, and the three conversations I had with the employees ( 2 application technician and 1 office associate) never resulted in my issues being addressed or change in application. Although each individual was pleasant and respectful. Upon cancellation of my service I did receive multiple emails from the company stating they can provide a free consultation and up 100% off my next application. But I declined because I can’t trust anything will be done to correct the issues and I don’t want to risk another year of service...

I typically don’t leave reviews, but my experience with Green Lawn Fertilizing has been so disappointing that I feel compelled to speak up in hopes of finding a resolution. I'd give them zero stars if I could.

I moved into a new construction home in February 2024 and have spent the last year and a half working hard to grow thick, healthy grass. I decided to hire Green Lawn Fertilizing in the spring of 2025 to help take it to the next level. Unfortunately, since bringing them on board, my lawn has only gone downhill.

On June 11, 2025, a technician came out to perform a treatment. Less than 24 hours later, both my front and back yards were completely yellow. I was told their product had been left out overnight and didn’t mix properly—though it clearly looked like fertilizer burn. It took me two full months of diligent watering and mowing just to nurse the grass back to its original state. During that time, Green Lawn paused all treatments until the lawn recovered.

Once the lawn appeared healthy again, they resumed treatments on July 30, 2025. Unfortunately, I wasn’t home to supervise and ensure the product was applied correctly. When I returned from a work trip the next day, I was devastated to find fresh fertilizer burn—again.

This is completely unacceptable. Lawn care is their job, and yet they’ve repeatedly damaged mine. I chose to support a local business over a national chain, and I regret it deeply. If you care about your yard, I strongly recommend hiring a more experienced provider like TruGreen or another reputable competitor.

At this point, the only acceptable solution would be for Green Lawn to re-sod the entire yard. I’ve lost all trust in their technicians and products, and I’ll be terminating my agreement with them immediately. I reported the most recent issue to Green Lawn on July 31, 2025 and was told I’d hear from a manager—yet here we are, over 48 business hours later, and still...
