I switched to ALM about 3 years ago. The staff and the service that they provide are top notch. I am relieved to use a service that is not only trustworthy, but certified by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. Derrick is the technician that takes care of my lawn and I really appreciate everything that he does toward helping to make my yard beautiful and weed free. I would (and have) highly recommend ALM to those that would like their lawn to look healthy, great looking and the envy of the neighborhood.
Awesome work on my lawn. Had weeds and bare shots. After the first year of treatment my lawn is thick and lush. My kids and the neighborhood kids all run around in our lawn with shoes off because they love it. ALM is not afraid to teach us either. I ask a lot of questions and they never have said anything is proprietary or secret. They answer everything and give handouts as to what we should do and what they are doing. Live this company.
ALM ‘s lawn program is awesome. They come out and make the applications on time . Their service keeps my lawn looking green and lush. They take the worry out of when to provide the fertilizer, weed control and fungicide. Worth the price. I follow their simple instructions water and cut at the right height…
My yard has never looked this good, pretty much carpet, after a fresh mowing, trimming, and edging. Thanks Agronomic Lawn Management for your superior work. I highly recommend them for fertilizer and weed control/eliminator treatments. I will definitely use them for core aeration in the fall and possibly more seeding. Im competing for the best lawn in the neighborhood. I think I am almost there.
I have used ALM For several years now and my yard has never looked better. The seating process is fantastic and the weeds in my yard or dramatically reduced. The staff and the technicians are always responsive and helpful. I would definitely not hesitate and referring them to family or friends.
So many hidden fees and the cost is not worth it. So they force you to get a soil test just so they can charge you more add-ons. I was paying top dollar to have this team come out for the Masters Plan and there were weeds they could not get rid of even after months of treatment. I was willing to go through two whole seasons with them to give them a chance until the phone call. My soil test (three months after it was done) came back and needed something added to my lawn, of course for an additional fee. Every time I turned around they were hitting my credit card for “additional services”. No value to hiring them, they were not really that good so…go with someone cheaper, you will get the same.
8/25/21 It’s very unfortunate that it has come to this - having to post a bad review. We have pre-paid for service. But they don’t seem to be responsive. Each week they say they will be out for our service, but each week it doesn’t happen.9/1/21. Another week has gone by and still no service. The owner’s response below was they don’t have anyone by my name because it’s in my wife’s name — same last name. Called the number he said and they acknowledged that the service has NOT been performed. So extremely disappointed that the owner tried to minimize my comments, rather than taking the little time to correct the situation.
My neighbor just signed up for the lawn maintenance service. Today was the first day the technician came by.He used the lawn fertilizing machine which is a motorized machine you stand on that spreads fertilizer. He felt that it was okay to drive right over my lawn and driveway which left crushed fertilizer marks and has already stained the driveway. He at no point asked if it was okay to use my property.I work hard to maintain my lawn as well as maintain a clean driveway and to have someone disrespect my property is not okay.
I used a well known local lawn company for years and over time became less enthralled with the services and my lawn appearance. I switched to ALM and it has been outstanding! I cannot get over the difference in appearance of my lawn and wish I had made the decision to switch years ago. The staff is well trained and kind and helpful. Wonderful company!
My lawn looked fantastic this spring, but I expected more than six weeks of a nice lawn. I paid for overseeding last fall and regular treatments/maintenance throughout the season. Things started going south in June. Although they claim a disdain for weeds, my lawn was never weed free this summer. I assumed the technicians would notice the problem during routine treatments, but nothing was ever done. I finally called a few weeks ago to complain about the abundance of crabgrass. A technician came out and sprayed round up on it. Great. Now my lawn is full of brown spots. I just spent the past two days pulling out crabgrass and overseeding bare spots. Additionally, my lawn developed brown patch disease this summer (which never occurred before ALM) - a problem which they offered to correct for an additional $400 in treatments. The overseeding never took in areas of the back yard and that also was never corrected. Overall I wasted almost $1000 with this company. Would not recommend.
This is the 2nd year that ALM has seeded my yardthe last time. Last year they seeded my yard and applied fertilizer and fertilized my pool that just had new liner installed and filled a few days before. My pool had white fertilizer in it and my water had over 6000ppm of phosphates. Called and asked for a manager and a few days later get to talk to one and was told they dont have phosphate in the fertilizer, even though the bill says it does. Spend over 300 to treat water. Give them benefit of doubt. Today the seeded yard and fertilized and same thing fertilizer in pool and was too lazy to close gate and leave 2 bags of debrie. Spent over 2 hours looking for my Newfoundland and Husky.Got a call that the dogs almost got hit by car. Call the office and no manager but they will send mag for him to call. Friday afternoon no call. I had 3 referrals and they all quit because of poor service. I am done with this company, they charge good money for lazy service. Stay away they want money but will not own up to anything that they do.
Based on previous owner responses to negative reviews, this was entirely predictable. It’s ALWAYS the customers’ fault and ALM accepts ZERO responsibility for poor results. Keep the excuses coming - this helps paint a clear picture of your business philosophy.
This is my first year using ALM and they have done an amazing job keeping my lawn looking great. Their customer service has been fantastic! I’ve asked them several times to come out and treat some problem areas and they are always here within a couple of days. I’m very excited to see how good my lawn looks next year.
We have been using ALM for years. We have been very pleased with their service. They do an excellent job and are always super friendly. If your looking for a lawn service I would recommend giving them a try. You will not be disappointed.
My lawn looks the best it ever has since ALM started servicing it. I get compliments all the time! They completely outdo the other 2 companies I tried in the past, so I highly recommend them!
Kris and his team that come out to help us seed and treat our lawn are wonderful. They are always happy to answer your questions and give advice. Our lawn did a complete 180 from the fall to the spring. We are pleased so far with the results.
March 19, 2020 spoke with ALM. On April 6, 2020 ALM pulled a soil sample to find out what our lawn needed. ALM recommended that we get the PGA Program. That included slit seeding and applications. September 15, 2020 we started the services. We did what ALM told us to do to make sure we got a beautiful lawn. At first our lawn was beautiful! We watered and maintain the lawn. Months later we started seeing weeds. We contacted ALM and they suggested that we get applications to kill the weeds; however, more weeds came. One month later our lawn started declining; weeks and the grass ALM planted started turning brown. We contacted ALM and they stated that we needed to get another slit seeding and more application. We were confused, We ask the Representative why? I ask could someone come out and take a look at the lawn, she stated that we needed to get another slit seeding and applications. At the beginning, we were told that the slit seeding and applications was what we need to get a good lawn. After reading other reviews, I notice that many customers have continued services with ALM in order to keep a beautiful lawn; however, we were not told this by ALM. At first we had considered burning our entire yard and starting over but, we were told my ALM that we need the PGA Program and our lawn would be good; they NEVER told us that we had to continue services. My husband called ALM and ask if someone could come out and look at lawn and we told by the representative that they were short staffed and had no one available to come out...PERIOD. We now have the worst lawn!Disappointed
Have used ALM for many years, they are professional and want you to be pleased with the services they provide . They encourage you to call with any questions or concerns and are eager to address whatever you need. Since using them, my yard looks great. Several of my neighbors have started using them and they are pleased as well.
Our yard has never looked better, thick and green. We have been very happy with the service. It is nice to have one person service our yard and give us feedback every time they treat the lawn.
Great service! They appear to be turning my weed infested yard around. They leave information on what they did. Will reserve 5th star to for end results.
This company is the best in the area. I have used four other companies and never did I have the lawn that ALM does for me. I get many compliments for the yard. It is very pretty. Steve is very helpful and wants me to have the best yard possible. Thank u all so much. Pat Griffin. This is my 3rd year using ALM.
My yard has NEVER looked better since ALM took over. Their seeding and weed control are the best in the industry. Plus Ray and their team are great about communicating. I never worked with another partner who took a soil sample before prescribing a plan!
ALM takes care of my lawn, trees and shrubs (fertilization and pest control). All of it is beautiful. I have noticed many of my neighbors are using your service now after giving many compliments.
I called to have an estimate performed on my yard. The technician came out, left the estimate and i have been trying to get someone to call me for 2 weeks to ask a question and have the lawn service started. No one returns calls even when they tell you that a supervisor is going to call. I’ve called 5 times and it is extremely frustrating to try and give your money to a company that shows that they could care less about your business. So we are going with someone else. Great customer service is everything to me and if I’m not being given that, I will take my business elsewhere.
I have the best looking yard in my neighborhood! Justin, the primary technician is awesome Always lets me know what I’m doing right or what I need to do better. Polite, professional and easy to talk to. Thank you ALM.
We have used ALM since for the past ten years. Derrick is the tech who takes care of us. I don’t know if something changed in the product they use but our lawn has never looked better. Maybe Derrick did something different but it looks great. We are very happy with the company.
The best that I have found in Hampton Roads and I’ve tried 5. Great work. My grass looks great. They are very very responsive and informative.
Very professional. Yard looks great. I would have spent more money in time and not even gotten close to the results. Would definitely recommend.
ALM is wonderful! So glad we made the change from a previous company we had used for 2 years prior. The grass is looking better than ever. 😊
ALM is an excellent company. They completely changed the look of our lawn over past year, making it look absolutely gorgeous and super soft to walk on.Highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent lawn management company.
ALM is by far the best lawn management organization in the Tidewater area. We have had four other lawn companies attempt and fail to do what ALM does with precise, consistent and unfailing efficiency. Their employees are thoroughly knowledgeable, courteous and willing to answer any and all questions regarding lawn maintenance. In essence, why settle for less when you can have the best, Agronomic Lawn Management.
They take the hassle of seeding, treating for weeds and diseases away. All I have to worry about is mowing and enjoying a beautiful green lawn. Any questions or concerns I’ve brought to their attention were handled promptly and professionally. ALM is a great company employing top notch professionals in turf grass management.
We have used ALM at two homes in two cities. Quality of service, Professionalism and Product knowledge were consistently the same.The proof is in results and our yards were healthier, greener and made a difference when sold and to our neighbors.
I saw a difference in my lawn after the first visit! I definitely recommend them.
Been using them for years. Best in town. A local firm that is much better than the national chains (speaking from experience).
While walking every morning during covid, I started paying attention to the lawns in my neighborhood and began asking neighbors who they used. Based on my analysis ALM seemed to be the best, less then a year later the results speak for themselves. The left is my neighbor who doesnt use ALM and what my lawn used to look like, the right is my lawn in Jan. Thank you ALM.
ALM has performed an outstanding job maintaining my lawn. I have had numerous neighbors and visitors ask how my lawn looks so spectacular and I tell them that it is all because of ALMs attention to detail and their efforts to ensure my lawn is properly taken care of. I highly recommend them to one and all.
Our grass looks great! We are on autopay with ALM which makes the whole experience as easy as could be—they just show up and treat the lawn. I appreciate the guidance on how to mow, watering schedules etc.
If you are looking to have a gorgeous lawn that makes the Emerald City envious, contact ALM. As their ad states, We Grow, We Dont Mow! They are professional, personable and educated on all things GREEN. They will ALWAYS be our choice for lawn care maintenance.
I like ALM because they’re responsive professional highly knowledgeable and you get great results. Their treated lawns look the best in our community.
I have tried several different services with little to no success however since switching to ALM my lawn is in the best condition ever. No question that having the same experienced tech professional each time allows him to monitor the lawn and make recommendations as needed. I highly recommend trying ALM.
Our lawn technician Derrick of ALM is the best. In just one year he has our lawn looking fantastic. I’ve used other services in previous years and never got these results. Anyone in Kempsville questioning why you pay good money and still have bare spots or weeds should call Derrick.
ALM is amazing! Justin is the best, timely & always so nice. This is the best our yard has ever looked!
ALM is outstanding! They always follow up to make sure all is well and satisfaction is accomplished for a great looking lawn
ALM has provided outstanding service on my lawn and shrubs for many years. They have made my lawn the showcase of the neighborhood. Words alone can’t express how impressed I am with this company.
Responsive and professional staff. Great program with effective products. Green grass with no weeds. Always responsive to questions and provide recommendations to improve the yard.
Great service. The tech is willing to answer question when I ask and make sound recommendations with trying to make me spend more money.
We have used ALM for the last three years and couldn’t be more pleased with this company. If you want a beautiful lawn then ALM is the company you should choose for service. Thank you for making our lawn beautiful. We are customers for life!!!!!!
Our lawn has never looked better! Larry Hensen does an awesome job! He is very reliable, professional and responds to any questions or concerns I may have.
My lawn is best ever after 2 years. I had another service for 25 years. I wish I changed sooner
We are beyond happy with our ALS experience. My husband was always one to do his own seeding/fertilizer. He cannot believe the results with ALS. You can go through our neighborhood and see the ALS houses as they have the most beautiful lawns. Best of all. We have the best support team. ❤
ALM is fabulous. Great customer service and my lawn and shrubs that are both maintained by ALM look awesome. I highly recommend.
We have been with ALM for the past 4 years, during this time I have had a number of dealings with various staff members and find them to all be knowledgeable, polite and committed to customer service . The resultsfrom their Fairway service are a beautiful yard.Susan Levine and Mike Maddox
We’ve lived in our current home for 15 years and tried several other lawn services. We have many trees and our lawn never looked good in the past. After switching to ALM last year, our lawn looks outstanding. Justin and the ALM team have done in a year what other lawn companies couldn’t do in 14 years. We are beyond impressed with ALM. I highly recommend.
Fantastic service/Company! My lawn looks better than ever before. Neighbor liked my yard so much they switched from TrueGreen to ALM! Recommend ALM if you want a great lawn.
My lawn looks thick, green and full with no weeds or patches. People in my neighborhood driving by stop and ask me how I get my lawn to look so good. I tell them ALM and point to the small placard in my yard. My yard is the envy of the neighborhood and more and more of my neighbors are hiring ALM.
Very knowledgeable about all things pertaining to growing and maintaining healthy grass. I never had beautiful green grass until ALM seeded and started treating my yard. Many yards in my neighborhood benefit from ALM services. ALM doesn’t mow but they sure help grass grow green!
This is who you want to seed and treat your yard. Walking through my neighborhood I noticed some yards looked fantastic compared to others, including yards that used other services. In every case it was ALM. Now, 2 years later, my neighbors on both sides are using ALM.
A friend recommended ALM to me, and I couldnt be more pleased. The results have been spectacular. Last falls slit seeding has totally transformed my lawn...it went from good to outstanding. Its cost effective, as instead of selecting and applying fertilizer, weed control, etc, ALM takes care of it all. Time plus materials for me were not that much less than utilizing ALM. My technician is Ray, and hes outstanding.
Beautiful lawn and decent price. I highly recommend ALM. Thick green lawn, grandkids love to go barefoot, and a few neighbors have noticed and also have them now.
Amazing customer service, an amazing lush green lawn! At a reasonable price
ALM are professional, knowledgeable, courteous and always keeps my lawn looking amazing .
Have used 3 other lawn services over the years and our results are far better with ALM
Havent heard back from them. Nick came out and left a detailed recommendation for lawn but after calling office several times I havent heard anything
Always on time and completes the job. I’ve noticed a vast improvement in the grass in my yard.
Rick and ALM have done a masterful job turning our yard into a green weed free lawn!!
I am very pleased with ALM. I have friends and neighbors who come up and tell me how beautiful my lawn looks and ask how I keep it so nice. I simply tell them, Agronomic Lawn Management!
ALM has done an outstanding job for me and my lawn. I would highly recommend them.
Richard the Technician was very knowledgeable, quick to apply and very courteous.
We use ALM for both our lawn and the trees and shrubs. Ive been MUCH happier with them in comparison to the national company we used previously. Where I used to get excuses and poor results I now get action and a healthy lawn and landscape. All of the service folks Ive interacted with have been professional, personable, and willing to listen to my concerns and actually give me recommendations that they follow up with action. I highly recommend giving them a call!
ALM. without a doubt, is the best Lawn care business around! Within one year, I have everyone in my neighborhood asking me about the white p/u truck that comes around and has my lawn so thick and green in such a short time. I think now, how much money I use to spend, every fall, only to be disappointed and all my spent cash, gone down the storm drain. If you want the Best ? You need to go with the Best..A L M. will definitely not leave you disappointed!
Very responsive, staff is very knowledgeable. Looking forward to seeing how my yard and ornamentals respond to their care!
The grass is green and beautiful—what more can I say.
The best ever! I used other companies and ALM is the best ever!
ALM has been great from the start. They have communicated extremely well from Kristen and Rebecca in the office to Ray that comes out and performs the service. Ray has been very patient with us and has been great to work with. ALM’s hard work has paid off as I get compliments weekly on the yard. As much as I want to take all the credit, I just can’t. Can’t say enough about the ALM staff! Highly recommend them.
Our yard has never looked better. Justin and ALM are the best!
Asked if they serviced the north side. No response. Arrogant?
I just want to give a quick review on ALM. No I’m not a customer BUT I just started my lawn business this season on the side & a handful of my clients use ALM for seeding etc. ALM will actually make your lawn green, thick and healthier. I’ve seen trugreen & dreamlawns work and their lawns is nowhere near comparable to ALM. Thanks for keeping me busy ALM!
Tim is the best. Always on top of things and very informative. Tim has top knowledge of his profession and answers all of my questions precisely. Highly recommend Tim and the company.
Excellent staff and excellent service. They are knowledgeable and helpful.
ALM has done a great job for us!
Best turf mgmt company in town. Highly recommend!
ALM made a huge difference in our lawn. We highly recommend them to everyone.
Best service Ive used. Started late summer with the understanding it will take a few years to develop, but I had a relatively beautiful yard mid fall! Cant wait to see how it looks next year!! The other two yard companies I tried did not do well with the weeds and the seeding resulted in no new and/or healthy grass.Very knowledgeable and they have no issues taking the time to explain everything in detail. Also I made a simple but unnecessary (for them) request and they continue to honor it without hesitation.The only con I can think of is we had bad mosquito and fleas (never had them before) in the yard in 2020. The control product for those didnt seem to help at all.I have and will continue to recommend ALM! Lol hopefully spring time they can use my yard as a before and after!
ALM is wonderful, they SAVED my lawn! Nick and Brad have both been very patient answering any and all questions. They are are very knowledgeable about the services provided and the how/why everything works as it does. ALM clearly invests in educating their staff, which is noticed and very appreciated. Customer service is responsive and helpful. We receive yearly regular treatment services and had to start out with some add-ons to fix the condition of the soil. I couldnt be happier with the results. Before picture below is from before seeding, shortly after we contracted with them (OCt 2020), and after was earlier this week (APril 2021). I would not hesitate to HIGHLY recommend ALM to anyone.
The company is always receptive to our requests and questions. We can count on prompt and reliable service from our technician, Ben.
We strongly recommend A.L.M, we have had several lawn services over the years and they all paled in comparison. Kenny Is our technician, he is very knowledgeable and it is apparent he enjoys what he does. We are very pleased and our lawn has never looked better.
Great Service and Great Lawn ResultsI did the fertilizer and treatment thing myself for 26 years but always had trouble with brown patch, summer die-off and pesky weeds. Once I let Brian and the ALM crew take over, my lawn is one of the best in the neighborhood and all I have to do is cut the grass. When I compare what I was spending versus their service, I wonder what took me so long to make this change. They are professional and they communicate well-so much so I consider it a partnership. I recommend them wholeheartedly.
Our lawn is beautiful and we are very pleased with ALM!
Used ALM for years. Lawn is always great!
Sean at ALM is great. Lets me know when he is on the way and does a wonderful job with my lawn! Very nice and professional!
Bill is the tech who takes care of my yard. Very knowledgeable and takes the time to keep me informed as to what services he is performing. Also gives suggestions as to what I can do to improve my lawn. Great service.
Excellent service and results so far! Started with ALM last winter thru the summer, and then over seeding and monthly yard treatments this fall. Very happy to date! Justin has been an excellent advisor and always responsive to my questions. Thank you!
ALM is the best lawn management company one could hope for. Sean and his staff at ALM have managed our lawn for several years and we appreciate their work. Thank you so much !! We are doing great😊😊
Were only starting the second year of treatment & seeding with ALM and our lawn looks amazing. Sean has taken a yard that was in ROUGH shape, that no other company was able to tame, and I had just about given up on, and has made it a showcase lawn. I could easily recommend ALM to everyone!
I’m very satisfied with the results after two years of ALM caring for my lawn. Tommy always texts a day ahead to let me know he’s coming. If the yard is too wet, we work out a different time. He is always available to answer questions and provide advice. My yard is a great-looking sea of lush green grass! Much of the neighborhood now uses ALM and others are considering it due to the visible results on our block. You might be able to do the same yourself for similar $$, but now all that time is back to you. Definitely recommend.
