Got a different guy/guys doing my service this year and the results are much worse than past years. Had to call them back for extra service once and they only did part of what I requested. The last visit (I was home when they came) as they were getting ready to leave I had to remind them to do a weed treatment and actually point out the weeds in the lawn before he agreed. 2 guys in the truck and the driver never got out of the truck. Couldn't he do the weed treatment while the other guy did the fertilizing? What a waste of time/money.
