Reviewers frequently cite effective weed control, lush lawn results, and responsive communication as primary benefits of ULTRALawn’s services. Customers often note that staff provide detailed application summaries and maintain punctual scheduling. However, lower-rated feedback highlights recurring issues with missed treatment windows, billing errors, and perceived overpricing. Some clients also reported poor management during landscaping projects or dissatisfaction with mowing performed in wet weather conditions.

We have had UltraLawn doing our yard for 5 years. They started the hydroseed on new construction and been treating ever since. Our yard is much nicer than any of the three sodded yards we have had in the past. Weed free and lush green.

The weed problem was handled well, and I was happy with the results. However, I ultimately decided to cancel the service because I had to follow up twice about scheduled treatment windows that had not been completed.
The company says the applications were still within the appropriate treatment windows, but from my perspective, I signed up for a full-service program specifically so I would not have to track the schedule or contact them to make sure applications were done.
After having the same issue twice, I no longer felt comfortable relying on the service. They did resolve my weed issue, but the lack of consistent scheduling and follow-through was the reason I decided to cancel.
Price assessment: Overpriced

Response from the owner · 4 weeks ago
Jorge, we’re glad you were happy with the weed control results, and we’re sorry you did not feel confident in the scheduling of your service.
We reviewed your account and confirmed that your applications were on the correct seasonal schedule and within the appropriate treatment windows. Timing varies with weather and the spacing needed between treatments; no applications had been missed, and your remaining treatments would have proceeded without you needing to call.
We also sent a proactive seasonal check-in text to ask how your lawn was doing, responded promptly when you contacted us with concerns, and offered a complimentary diagnostic visit with a manager. These are ways we work to identify concerns early and support our customers throughout the season.
We respect your decision to cancel and will refund your remaining prepaid balance according to our cancellation terms. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your lawn.

I've used ULTRALawn for years and they've always done a great job for us. This year, we had them smooth out a big area of dirt and then install sod. Ryan was a big help getting this facilitated. Big shout out to the entire team for their hard work!
