TruGreen of Lake Charles at a glance

Customers frequently praise the professionalism, punctuality, and thoroughness of the service, noting that technicians communicate effectively and answer questions about lawn health. Services mentioned include fertilization, fire ant treatment, aeration, and weed control, with many reviewers highlighting the noticeable improvement in their yards. However, one low-star review criticized the company for failing to show up for a scheduled weed killer appointment and for a perceived mismatch between the service performed and the customer's expectations.

I finally reached the end of my rope with fire ants! With grandkids running barefoot in the yard these ants needed to go. In spite of the fire ant poison I've spread I the past, it seems it just doesn't last, especially after a hard rain. But there was hope! We found TruGreen who not only took care of these ants,…

I finally reached the end of my rope with fire ants! With grandkids running barefoot in the yard these ants needed to go. In spite of the fire ant poison I've spread I the past, it seems it just doesn't last, especially after a hard rain. But there was hope! We found TruGreen who not only took care of these ants, but fertilized our yard to keep it healthy and me happy! I wasn’t at home today when Robert treated our yard, but knowing how well he works, I have no doubt he did impeccable work. Thanks TruGreen and thanks Robert for caring.
