I have lived in the same place for 12 yrs. The smartest thing I ever did was
letting a lawn care agency take over for a year. 1 yr! Thats it. Why try &

weed killer etc. It was cheaper to let them come in & get the grass on

Let me see...3 full years with Chemlawn and my yard so far looks no better
than it did before I signed up. No Thanks...

I have decided to do it on my own, even if it costs me more money, I cannot
do any worse. If you ever do signup, you will have many pleading phone
calls asking you to give them another try - even after telling them no way.

My yard currently looks like crap. The only thing that I can recommend
Chemlawn for is the lack of those yellow pests - everything else is a great
let down.

My two cents...
