Whitley Lawn Care Inc

I had a professional landscape contractor sod my yard with Zoysia in MAy 2010. The yard looked like carpet, it was beautiful, solid green everywhere. It went dormant in great shape and then Whitley got involved. They had been treating my yard like Centipede (I found out in a conversation with their employee) so I called them and reminded them that I had Zoysia. When the grass started greening this spring, our yard was a little slow coming back. Then it started to turn brown in large areas. I called Whitley and the same employee said that it was stress and we neded a sprinkler system. Really.....I have a 7 zone sprinkler system. That same day he treated my lawn and all of the Bermuda lawns on our street with the same chemicals. WRONG. We had a State of Georgia Arborist to look at it and he said it had chemical burn. We called Whitley and they said we were all stupid because he was Nicky Whitley and he had 17 years of backyard experience. Steer clear of this company. more

Be very careful doing business with this company.\r I contracted a yard service to cut and edge my lawn and with their service came several chemical applications to my lawn.\r I cancelled the yard service at the beginning of the year (for economic reasons only - their service was wonderful). In the early Spring I came home from work to find a Whitley sign on my lawn saying they had sprayed chemicals. I figured they didn't get the message I had cancelled and forgot about it. I got an invoice from Whitley in April (I think) saying I owed them. I called to tell them my business was with the yard service and not them, but I would pay whatever the yard service usually paid so they wouldn't get stuck with the bill. \r I honestly forgot about paying Whitley until I got a notice yesterday that they were sending my account ($56) to collections! When I called the owner she couldn't understand that I was not her customer and was unwilling to understand (or couldn't comprehend) what I was saying.\r So, if your lawn service uses Whitley - be careful! more
