Alright, so I’m gonna spill the beans on my experience with Inch’s Natural Lawn Care. I figured I’d share my journey, the good, the bad, and the downright buggy. I started looking into them because, well, my lawn looked like it belonged in a zombie movie. Brown, patchy, and generally depressing.
First, I hopped online and did some digging. Read a bunch of reviews, watched a couple of YouTube videos, you know, the usual. Their whole “natural” thing appealed to me because I’ve got kids and a dog, and I’m not trying to poison them with harsh chemicals. So, I bit the bullet and signed up for their basic lawn care program.
The initial consultation was pretty straightforward. A guy came out, walked around my yard, pointed out all the problem areas (which, let’s be honest, was basically the whole yard), and gave me a quote. The price seemed reasonable, especially compared to some of the big-name companies, so I gave them the green light.
The first few treatments went smoothly. They’d come out, do their thing, leave a little note on the door about what they did and what to expect. The grass did seem to be getting a little greener, and the patchy areas were starting to fill in. I was cautiously optimistic.
But then… the weeds. Oh, the weeds! They started popping up everywhere. Dandelions, crabgrass, you name it, they were throwing a party in my lawn. I called Inch’s to complain, and they said that because their treatments are natural, they’re not as aggressive at killing weeds as the chemical stuff. They offered to do a spot treatment, but it would cost extra. I coughed up the extra dough, hoping it would solve the problem.
The spot treatment helped a little, but the weeds kept coming back. It felt like a never-ending battle. I started spending my weekends pulling weeds by hand, which, let me tell you, is not my idea of a good time.
Things came to a head last summer. We had a really hot, dry spell, and my lawn started to look worse than ever. Despite the Inch’s treatments, it was brown and crispy. I called them again, and they said that natural lawn care takes time and that I needed to be patient. They suggested I water my lawn more frequently, which I was already doing.
Honestly, I was getting pretty frustrated. I was paying for a service that wasn’t delivering the results I expected. I started researching other natural lawn care options, and I even considered switching to a different company.
In the end, I decided to give Inch’s one more shot. I told them I wasn’t happy with the results and that I was considering cancelling my service. They offered to adjust my treatment plan and to provide some extra care to the problem areas. They also gave me a discount on my next treatment.
To their credit, the adjusted treatment plan did seem to make a difference. The grass started to green up again, and the weeds were finally under control. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a definite improvement.
So, what’s my final verdict on Inch’s Natural Lawn Care? It’s a mixed bag. On the one hand, I appreciate their commitment to natural products and their willingness to work with me to address my concerns. On the other hand, their treatments are not as effective as the chemical stuff, and you need to be prepared to put in some extra work to keep your lawn looking good. Would I recommend them? Maybe. If you’re committed to natural lawn care and you’re willing to be patient, they might be a good option. But if you’re looking for instant results, you might want to look elsewhere.
- Pros: Natural products, environmentally friendly, good customer service (eventually).
- Cons: Not as effective as chemical treatments, requires patience, can be expensive.
Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide if Inch’s Natural Lawn Care is right for you. Just do your research, set your expectations accordingly, and be prepared to put in some extra effort.
