      *************************, my dad, paid for 2 lawn applications as well as ************ in Dec 2023 (prepaid).. 1st application was done spring 2024, grub service was to be done at end of July, beginning of August. My dad passed unexpectedly on 7/6/24 and therefore I called twice to find out when they were going to provide the grub service and was advised BOTH times manager would call back.. Business DID confirm ALL 3 applications were paid for. As of today, I have NOT received a call back, nor has the service he PAID for been done. My sister are in the process of finding exact amount, but know it was somewhere between $500 - $600 for all 3 applications..Thank You for your assistance!

      I asked for grub control beginning of season. They did late and I have grubs. Asked them to come out did not do that. I went and bought my own chemicals after phone calls with no one coming out. I just dug up turf and put more dirt and seed down. Wrong I am 85 I am paying your company for service and I dont get it. Same c*** I went through years ago and I believed that company changed, oh no it hasnt. Lucky I didnt have a stroke out there but lawn looks so bad and people asking what happened. I had to do something.

      On 5/14/24, I spent $72 for a lawn application to kill weeds. After seeing a few weeds turning brown, I assumed the application was working, and gave them a good review on their website. I called on 6/24/24 and told them that all of the weeds were still there and looks like burn marks in my yard were appearing. They came back on 7/1/24 and did a new application, and I paid $72. I noticed same weeds, new weeds, along with tall saplings that were growing, along with more larger burn marks in my lawn. I sent them pictures. They came back out again for a no-charge application on 7/23/24. The technician did not know what the tall saplings were but said they will go away with this application. They did not. When I texted them the pictures, a lady named ***** said these will have to be pulled out by hand. A week later, I noticed the same weeds, saplings, and a new weed, quack grass. I called to ask them to discontinue my service and requested my $144 back. They told me they wanted to make this right, and I agreed to one more application, at no charge. The Technician, ****** came on 8/7/24 and he said he would give me a refund of $144, or will only spray the new quack grass and the saplings in the back yard to see what happens. He could not explain the burn marks. I told him that my yard has never looked this bad. He said he wanted to make it right and their service is guaranteed. I agreed to one more "make it right" no-charge application, only in the back yard. I didn't want him to spray the entire yard again, fearing for more burn marks. On 8/16/24, I texted that ***** tried another application, but nothing is working. I requested to cancel my service and receive $144 back. I then received a text saying they scheduled service for 8/19. (HUH?) I responded NO. DO NOT service. When I called and talked to ***, he said they don't offer money back. I would like my $144 back for this service that did not work, and has ruined my yard.

      We're very sorry that we provided such an unacceptable experience, and we hope that the refund we recently processed constitutes a sufficient resolution. We would still love the chance to prove that we can do better, and if there is anything else we can do we will gladly continue working with the customer to improve their experience with us!

      Had second lawn application, 6/17/24, called about the weeds in my lawn. Said they would come and do 3rd, done on 7/16/24. I just happened to be home. They applied the fertilizer, then had a quart bottle spraying weeds. It would have took them hours to spray all the weed with their bottle. Now Ive called to have them take care the weeds but they never have been back yet. I keep getting the same song and dance theyll be here this has been going on since 7/22/24. The weeds are getting worse. I paid for a service I didnt receive. Thankyou

      Business Response

      Date: 09/05/2024

      We know weeds are frustrating, and we're so sorry we didn't address them sooner. We hope that the service provided last month is giving the customer excellent results. If not, though, or if there is anything else we can do to make this right, we will gladly continue working with them!

      We have two properties that we have sprayed for Mosquitoes. 1st is a business and we pay for ****** sq ft of spray and the 2nd is our personal property and we pay for ****** sq ft sprayed. Naturscapes website states they offer a Guarantee for this service:The Naturescape Guarantee Your Naturescape specialist is committed to making you happy with our service and your lawn and landscape. If you are not completely satisfied with the results of our services or you have any questions or concerns, please call your area branch office and we will be happy to take care of them free of charge within 72 hours.I called on 7/29/24 to have our personal property resprayed and 8/1/24 to have our business resprayed as the mosquitoes were so bad we could not be outside. When no service has been provided by 8/5/24 I called again and was told that they would try to have someone come out by the following week. This is well beyond their 72 hour guarantee so I asked to be contacted by a manager. When I had heard nothing from the company I called again on 8/8/24 and again asked for a a manager to call me. I received a call late in the day on 8/8/24 from an ***** who promised she would be looking into this and provide a resolution and date of the respray service by 8/9/24. It is 8/12/24 and I have yet to hear back or have the service provided. Since this company has not stood up to the GUARANTEE that they offer I want a refund for this service at both properties.

      We're very sorry for the frustration with our mosquito service this year, and we appreciate the chance to try and make it right. We've reached out about the recent services to make sure they were satisfactory, but have not heard back yet. We hope we've provided a satisfactory resolution, but if not we will gladly continue working with the customer!

      I paid for a 5 application service for 2024. I have not received any service calls from the provider since 5/6/24. The provider will not answer emails, phone calls, and voice messages. I just waited 15min on hold before getting their voicemail asking to leave a message. I believe the A+ rating this business is advertising and/or received is greatly exaggerated.

      Business Response

      Date: 09/05/2024

      We're very sorry that this was such a poor experience; we have taken steps to ensure better communication and more timely applications going forward. We hope that the recent application we performed is providing excellent results. If not, however, or if there is anything else we need to do to make this right, we look forward to hearing from the customer!

      On July 15, I arrived home from vacation. I noticed my grass had a few spots on it so I called NatureScape on July 16. They asked me to take a few pictures and send it to them. I complied. ***** texted me to tell me she received the pictures and I would have an application shortly. As the week progressed, the fungus was getting worse and spreading. On Sunday, July 21, I called again and left a message that I needed it sprayed. I also called on Monday, July 22. The person told me that her manager would be doing it on Tuesday, July 23. Arriving home around 3:00 PM, I called NatureScape since it noticed it wasn't done. Summer informed me that it was on the schedule for Thursday. I was not pleased and asked to speak with a manager. The managers were not available. ****** told me the manager would call me at 4:00 pm. At approximately 4:40 pm, I texted NatureScape again since the manager did not call. She told me the phones weren't working and I would receive a phone call tomorrow morning. They obviously have no intention of honoring their contract. I would like a full refund of $204.

      On Tuesday, May 28th, 2024 Naturescape applied fertilizer and weed preventer to my lawn. On Thursday, May 30th, 2024 we started seeing dead spots all over the lawn. I sent an email with pictures to Naturescape and have called them several times. each time I'm told they will have someone come out and talk to me, so I could show them the damage. I have received auto calls from Naturescape telling me someone would be out the next day, only to have no one show up. I also received a call from the area manager saying he would try to come out, but he never has. It has now been over 5 weeks since my lawn has been damaged by Naturescape.

      We're very sorry that this situation was not resolved earlier, and we hope that the refund we issued last month provides some degree of resolution. However, we recognize that this experience was not acceptable, and we are taking steps to ensure better service going forward. If there is anything else we can do to make this right, we would be happy to continue working with the customer!

      I contacted Naturescape 04/13/24 to apply the first application of the season, using the ************ number by the Little Chute Branch. I requested advanced notice for service, after 2:00 p.m. as my gates are locked. They shhowed up the next morning early 04/16/24. I was told to give the application a few weeks to work, if not give them a call and they would reapply.I called them on May 13th to let them know that I still had thousands of weeds and application didn't work. I made OVER 14 texts or calls, voicemails and a visit to ************ office to get this corrected. I sent an email to their corporate office pleading for help, and no response. I was told by one of the employees, the reason is they are shorthanded, so the phone rings and rings and is rerouted to two other offices and therefore I cannot speak to the same person. The Naturescape guarantee printed in their brochure says if customer isn't completely satisfied with service/lawn application, they will within 72 HOURS take care of it free of charge. It is now 36 Days. I want a refund of my $52.00. Ironically, I live only 1.7 miles from the ************ Branch, and they could not take the time to recheck their work.
