I am extremely pleased with the end result with Home Turf and Joel's approach to his business. Following my request to cancel he immediately took the time to discuss the issues I've had and his approach to address my concerns. To keep this short, i'd like to clearly state that while my experience was not good, you should not judge the failures of a few (selected staff) when looking to choose a service solution with Home Turf. Joel runs a great business with hundreds of happy consumers and stands behind his operation with with great customer service.
Original Review
It is unusual for me to take the time to write a review, however, I thought my particular situation could help other consumers identify a reputable, committed company to take care of their needs.
For ease, I will keep this as concise as possible by limiting my description to the actual service by visit.
Visit 1 - Home Turf arrives and completes a full fertilizer which is documented on their report. However, only the front yard was completed, which was validated by my home security system. Second visit scheduled. Miss representation? Call it what you will.
Visit 2 - Weed control, this time they arrived on schedule, completed the full service, however left 4 foot areas of dead grass due to over spraying. They had to come back to drop seed to rectify the issue.
Visit 3 - Aeration, Home Turn Calls the previous night to ask us to open the gate and mark the in ground sprinklers. Since my last two visits were met with issues, I booked the day off to be at home. However, they did not show up. No call, update or email to let us know.
While the reviews on Home Stars are great for a directional understanding of a businesses offering, i’m not sure the past reviews represent their current service capabilities, at least in my area (North York/Toronto). Following this posting I will be seeking a pro-rated and or full reimbursement of my service, which I expect will be difficult. I will provide a final review once I hear from them.
