As a nationwide company, TruGreen gets our vote as the best lawn care service in Jacksonville. We ultimately recommend getting a free quote from multiple lawn care companies before making a final decision. You can take care of your lawn yourself, provided you have the proper equipment and products as well as the time to do it, but many homeowners find it well worth the cost to hire someone to maintain their lawns.
Professional lawn care companies have the heavy-duty equipment needed to perform a job efficiently and also have the knowledge to treat your lawn.
Here are some national average lawn care prices, according to HomeGuide :. The cost of living in Jacksonville is lower than the national average, so lawn care prices in Duval County may be slightly lower than the above estimates.
Additionally, lawn care or landscaping companies may charge less per service if you purchase a full-service maintenance package or opt for regular visits. That depends on whether you have the equipment and the time. If you have a relatively small yard and own a mower, cutting it yourself will only cost you the price of the gas or electricity needed to power the mower, plus trash bags for the clippings.
Mowing is necessary to keep your yard free of weeds and pests, but mowing the blades too short can ultimately damage your grass. The Department of Environmental Horticulture at the University of Florida offers the following ideal heights for common turfgrass species in Jacksonville:.
Although Florida yards get plenty of rain and sunshine, they may need a little help to stay green and lush. I thought that was utterly ridiculous and a complete waste of my time and the company's. Pros Good benefits package. Cons Incredibly long days, seasonal layoffs, a constantly changing schedule with little to no advanced notice.
I believe in experience and work ethics over seniority and the color of your skin. I love the line of work the pay and the freedom to work much as you want.
But since I've worked at the Virginia Beach branch you see nothing but favoritism from management towards a certain demographic of people. If you're a hard worker you will not be rewarded instead you'll be forced to carry the slackers on your back.
Work is never divided evenly the amount of work you get is based on managers favorite or similarities. New job soon! Pros Unlimited overtime. Cons Unfair work environment. It's alright I hired in at the end of the season but I've enjoyed what I've seen so far. Management is nice and understanding. This is a great gig for anyone who wants to work outdoors and stay active. The only downside is the long days you may not have anticipated, and having to pick up slack of co-workers who may not finish all their daily requirements.
Overtime hours are a big plus, however. Keep in mind, this is a seasonal position, ranging from March through November. Job seekers rely on your experience. Definately not a good place to work at. I dont encourage anyone to work here. They say Monday through friday and then it turns into Monday through Saturday. They work you like crazy and never give you a day to yourselves. Doesn't treat employees well either. Pros Nothing. Cons Management.
I was a sales rep at trugreen for 3 years. Pros Salary plus commission. The job itself is not too bad but if you get cancels that goes against you and saves and if you are not on the phone that goes against you so if you need a little extra time to just take a breather you're not allowed to that goes against your point system and your score cards the customers you have nice ones and then you have Karen's that willbstraight scream and yell and cuss at you you're not supposed to take those type of calls to heart and you are allowed to hang up but when every customer is hateful you can't hang up on every customer the technicians do not care about the customer's lawns there is fertilized burn all the time and over chemicals to the lawn and there's times that technicians don't even come to the customer's house and Skip them and which causes the customer to call in very upset and you have to be empathetic and keep apologizing and throw money in their face to keep them from canceling.
Pros Pay. Cons Short breaks, Saves, Cancels. The managers are helpful. The company that runs their FMLA is useless. Pros Lots of contest, Great management.
Cons Stress Level, need better a better insurance program. If you have any kind of work ethic and stay, they will take care of you and you will be appreciated. Most of the managers are great. That pay can be pretty decent. But never expect to work less than 50 hours. Pesticides will get on you. Average health care is there. But sales is very easy on the body.
All entry level employees are laid off at the end of the season. Working alone and outside most of the time. Seasonal lay off. Cons They will lie to keep you there. Hours of Operation. TruGreen Lawn Care. Why TruGreen? Kinda nice sitting around every winter but it doesn't pay the bills. Pros outside work, on your own, no one looking over your shoulder all day. Enjoy being overworked and underpaid? Do you have years of previous experience, enjoy being overworked and underpaid?
Look no further this may be the job for you! When I started at TG I used to actually be passionate about my career TruGreen made sure to suck all of that out of me. I also took a major pay cut with the prospect of decent raises, bonuses and commissions.
But also had really good healthcare plan at the time so I continued to over look the negative aspects. The only way to make a living wage is to work overtime. The company decided after working through the pandemic and deciding not to give anyone but themselves raises to cut healthcare benefits and now only offer literally the bare minimum of what is required of them. Pros Branch management.
Cons Raises, healthcare, breaks, rude customers, undersold properties. Management is incredible really Lenient with paid time off. Co-workers are great and make the workplace fun and enjoyable.
Being number 1 tech for 10 years and still no advancement or decent pay. Management is simply horrendous and lazy. They are all just about numbers.
Overall experience is just horrible. Find something else. Cons Health insurance is terrible and long hours. Run Run Run Away! Sales Former Employee - Ohio - September 30, Toxic culture. Company treats employees like dirt. Forced to work holidays with short notice.
Terrbile grading system for sales reps. Abusive management. Pros None. I think they could give a person more than a month to learn a very complex system and give more time to settle into the job. The overall company is great, just 4 weeks is not long enough to be completely familiar. Cons Favoritism. Fun if you like working out in the sun for hours most days out of the week. Nice pay, but lots of time away from him. It was a good choice for a season.
Horrible- stressing!!!!!! This company only cares about retaining upset customers, they overcharge cust.
Cons Short breaks, 30 second between back to back calls, over calls a day! When I first started at Trugreen it was a fun family oriented company. That showed appreciation for it's employees. As time went on the changes that were made were all for the benefit of the company. I would say they became morally compromised. The managers and supervisors are not for the people who make the company. Pros Weekly pay. Cons The supervisors are job scared they don't stand up for what's right.
Great People but terrible corporate suits.
