ABSOLUTE WORST SERVICE!!!! These people are not honest at all. They showed up for one treatment on my lawn and did not fully finish the job. I had to chase them down for 2 months to come back and complete the job which was aeration and overseeding. They kept saying they were coming out but never did!!! After my cancellation of services, they showed up to apply weed killer. With the amount of complaints against this particular company, why has not the Better Business Bureau shut them down? Keep far away from these folks.

Worst service and product ever got. Don't ever be kind to their sales person. This company is close to impossible to close your account. They just keep coming back without your consent year after year! Their bills are not as promised. Their services if ever anything was half completed. They are best at sales and collections of bills and ignoring their customers. Be warned. Avoid this company the best you can!!!

So far the services provided by Dr Green has very poor. This first service provider who I had to make repeat calls to remind them about the services they promised to deliver at that time I signed and services they were providing are no very near to what was agreed. For example I had request them numerous times for the aeration it took them 8 weeks to get it completed whereas they had done by beginning by end of mid May but it was never done till beginning of June. Then I had to follow for fertilizer application and the customer services kept saying they did it according to the information they received from their operation.Finally the supervisor had to come and verified it was never done and he had to do the fertilizer. Same the goes for weed control and when the guy came to do the weed control instead of doing blanket weed control he only did spot weed control and due to that now I have weeds growing every where. I have requested the customer services to do the blanket weed control. If I have to follow up everytime that is just frustrating.Plus I also learnt that they do not have service team at Oshawa and everytime the guys were travelling from Missassauga to perform the services for me. They were telling it was so much waste of their time and difficult to respond to my service.But what frustrates me the most is that their sales team sells you something and customer services try to get the service but the operations are so lagging behind to deliver the services promised to the customer such as myself who has made all the payments for the services that the customer experience is very poor. I cannot even cancel the services because they will not refund my money for the pain their causing me. I will not go with next year and will not recommend to anyone until they seriously mend their way of delivering quality services.

The company has a very good sales pitch claiming the best service to kill the weeds and service the lawn. In reality if you have weeds the results are not there. I have had to have them come back constantly without getting the results. My standard dandelions aren't even dying. I'm following all there directions (cutting grass to 3" etc) and sitll nothing. The leaves change colour for a bit but after a day or so they cam back nice and strong. I was getting so frustrated that they were spreading and getting bigger I went and bought some weed-be-gone concentrate from home depot. Mixed it up and sprayed. Whe I sprayed the plants completely died off in a few days. I keep calling them back but they say wait a few more days, wait a few more days. Then to reschedule they book it 10 days out. I mean one time the guy came with an empty tank of the s pray and did about 1/5th of the lawn before saying he would have to come back the next day. They are also not very careful when overseeding. It appears they were in a rush and they ended up overseeding my entire property. All spring/summer I keep having to dig up all the grass in my flower beds. I would not recommend them at all.

Company Profile

Dr. Green Services is proud to be celebrating our 27th anniversary this year and we would like to thank each and every customer that has made this possible. As a family owned and operated business we very fortunate to have the support of our loyal customers.
As we look forward to this year we are very excited about some important improvements we have made to our 2013 treatment plans. In an effort to provide our customers with a thicker, greener lawn, and fewer weeds than last year we changed our weed control method and added an extra visit to each of our programs. We are now going be using an improved liquid product which has been tested and we know works well. Additional visits, combined with these new methods that will allow us to have better coverage of your weeds and will result in better results.
While we are very excited about these changes it is important to realize that controlling weeds naturally is more difficult than when using traditional products. You should expect to see a 75% reduction in your weeds after each treatment and with more treatments the effect will be compounded as the year goes on. This means that providing you with a healthy lawn and much fewer weeds can be expected, but it will be a work in progress.
In conjunction with seasonal fertilization, annual aeration and seeding, and the commitment of our clients to properly water and mow, we will continue to make a difference together.
At Dr. Green we are constantly looking at ways that we can improve our service. Over the winter months we thoroughly assessed what we did well in the past and what we need to do better this year. From new and innovative products to implementing state of the art technology, we will do whatever it takes. We have worked very hard to ensure that every employee at Dr. Green is committed to providing the best possible customer service experience in the years to come.
