When I found myself in the position of having to take care of my own yard, I knew nothing. So, I hired ChemLawn to take care of the fertilizing, weeding, watching for bugs. They did treatments every few months that I thought were pricey. Almost every time they did a treatment there was something else I needed -- this and that was wrong with my yard. So, knowing nothing, I believed (for a while). After a year with their service, my yard looked worse than it did when I started. It was a lot of money spent and aggravation for nothing. Also I had a different person each time the yard was sprayed, so no one ever "got to know" my yard. Poor use of my time and money.
PROS:
CONS: expensive, always wanting more money, no results
