  I’ve been hiring a few of the lawn doctors in a box and a small local firm all of which I eventually fired for years. They all had same mentality of spray and leave. They all promised free immediate retreatments but they all just waited until the next service. I forget how I connected up with Rutland but I’m glad I did. This spring my lawn looked meh. A product of last year’s attempt by another company I gave 2 years to get it right. The season was going to be pretty bad I knew bc Grafton instituted a water ban for 2025, Grrrr. I discussed it with Rutland and was mostly concerned that weeds would overrun my yard because unwatered lawns are a haven for weeds. But they assured me they would come anytime weeds got out of control. Needless to say I’ve heard that before! So spring came and without water it flourished and looked AWESOME by Memorial Day. They came the first week of June and fertilized and by the second week it was time to test them out bc I noticed my lawn was striped (just like last year by the other guys). I called and they wanted pictures (reasonable) but said pictures were inconclusive. I was off to Iceland and so they said don’t worry we will come see and fix as needed. While I was in Iceland I got an email and confirmed it was striped (an operator error on the machine likely but poop happens) and they would fix it. OMG when I got back they had come the day after I left for Iceland and refertilized when I got back everything looked much better. By early July it looked great. Of course the July heat made the lawn go dormant in high sun areas in the back yard but I expect that. They came upon every request and put down weed killer, like within 48 hours. Here we are in late October and my lawn has NEVER looked this good. I was reading the very few 1 star reviews and can only say most seem to be from impatient people expecting miracles in days not good work over time. Lawns are a marathon not a sprint. People sometimes don’t give things a chance. You need to be the steward of your lawn, not them. If you don’t call and let them know then they can’t fix it. I can say they did everything they could every time I called. These folks are top notch and really care.

  ⭐ 1-Star Review Very disappointed with this company. I paid to have my lawn properly aerated and seeded, but the work was not completed correctly. The company may respond by saying they came to my property twice, but that does not tell the full story. The first job was done so poorly that, after I sent photos, the company agreed there was a problem. They told me they had been experiencing issues with the technician who performed the service and had received multiple complaints about him. When they returned the second time, their machine broke, so the aeration and seeding were never completed. I was then promised that they would return in the fall of 2026 to perform the service properly. However, when I recently contacted them, they refused to honor that promise. As the photos show, my yard is now in terrible condition. Every time I asked the company for help, they took no accountability and simply told me what I should do myself. At no point did they offer to return and properly complete the service I paid for. They still owe me two treatments that I have already paid for. I sincerely hope those treatments are completed properly and professionally. If they are not, I expect to receive a full refund. Mistakes and equipment problems can happen, but a reputable company should stand behind its work and make things right. Based on the poor-quality service, the unfulfilled promise to return, and their refusal to correct the problem, I cannot recommend this company. This has been an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience.

  It was great seeing old friend Kurt Champagne tend to my lawn yesterday (8/27). I know from past experience that he is expert at lawn care and has always kept my lawn healthy and alive. He took the time to recognize me yesterday and we caught up as well as discussed beneficial suggestions for my lawn. Always ready to perform any additional task in addition to that called for in my lawn program. As always, Kurt reflected a caring, congenial approach to me as a client.

  Finding a knowledgeable, reliable and honest fert company is difficult. I've tried many and either the tech doesn't know much, they miss spots because they go too fast or possibly even "ghost" you (leave the bill and skip the service if you're not home. James at Rutland is a gem! He knows what he's doing, is meticulous and always shows up when he's supposed to. After so many years of trying so many other companies that disappoint, I'm extremely happy with Rutland Turf!! Oh, also a shout out to Cocoa McGovern in sales. No BS, she knows her products and services and Rutland has delivered on all of her promises. Thank you!

  I had used another local, qualified service for several years. The results were good but began to wane in the last two years. Moreover, the price had increased dramatically. I appreciate that the cost of chemicals used has increased, but the service price increases were more substantial. I contacted Rutland, who immediately responded, gave me much better pricing and guaranteed my satisfaction. Well, of course, most prospective new customers are guaranteed satisfaction. After a full season of service, I can attest, RUTLAND WAS TRUE TO THEIR WORD. My lawn is better now than a year ago. I asked for a couple call backs for spot weed treatment, and it was immediately done. I could not be more pleased and recommend Rutland highly.
