Terra Invests in ECO 250 Top Dressers

Terra truly knows about lawn care! After another lawn care company destroyed my lawn by applying a treatment last August in 100 degree weather, I have had to begin all over again. Terra has a great reputation so I decided that I would have them do my lawn care treatments throughout the year and also do my over-seeding and aeration this fall. I was scheduled for early September. Of course, when the weather was reaching 90 degrees for the whole week, I was skeptical of the timing. I was assured that the seed would be fine and that the heat would be great for germination. I was encouraged to water consistently if drought conditions persisted. After the lawn was aerated and seeded, I decided to wait until after the week of hot, very dry weather and only then I was going to begin watering. I knew that once water became consistent, that the seed would become activated and I would need to stay on top of watering. Much to my surprise, we finally had a mild rain off and on for a day, about 10 days after the initial application. I noticed by the end of the week that my lawn was filling in with beautiful new green grass. Scott, the Lawn Care Manager, had told me to "trust him and the timing" and also to "not over think things" in regard to me having to do a lot of additional watering, etc. He was right! A lawn that was destroyed a year ago...you can't even tell now! Pricing is very reasonable and Terra always responds to emails and messages. Often you actually "get a human" when you call them! If you aren't happy with your current lawn care company, definitely give Terra a call! you won't regret it.

I can't say enough about the fantastic job Terra did on our property. From taking out a tree in the back yard and regrading the lawn to building a great new wall around our front garden. They worked tirelessly all day! We would recommend Terra for any landscaping work you may have.

We have engaged Terra several times over the last decade. My wife is truly pleased with the quality and attentiveness of every crew dispatched to care for our property. Prior to Terra, nobody even came close to the quality of their shaping and pruning of our nearly 150 feet of yews! Add to that trees, additional shrubbery and the awesome care of 50 feet of second story arborvitae’s. Kristin handled a very tight schedule for us, Fred came out and estimated the job, and a three person crew acted in nearly choreographed precision to complete in less than half a day. Impressive all around!

We are on our second season with Terra. We are very happy with our tech, Gabriel (Gabi) and Hanna-Rose from the office has been very helpful as well. Thank you for taking great care of us and our yard.

Stephen Sagrestano

Used their service last week for a mow and trim service. Kristin was extremely responsive via e-mail and scheduled us the next day. It helps having a local team, since we've typically seen others struggle with scheduling. The crew was polite, professional, maintained good quality and got the job done quickly.

Fred did an outstanding job handling the bushes here.. they look new! Thank you Terra for the great job!

Terra was absolutely fantastic with regard to meeting my landscaping needs. I provided minimal direction while out of town, and their specialists took it from there. The results surpassed my expectations, and I am excited to refer Terra to all of my friends and neighbors.

Fred runs a first class operation here. I reached out for help designing large-scale, residential privacy landscaping. Fred was very responsive and put together a perfect design to achieve what I was looking for. His team worked quickly and cut no corners. I was extremely pleased with the end result. UPDATE: When I let Fred know that five of the 75+ shrubs had died, he offered to replace them which he then delivered on. I plan to move all my landscaping services over to Terra now. Very high integrity organization.

I have been using Terra for a few years for various things but consistently now since moving to our new home in 2019. When we moved in our lawn was in pretty bad shape from the prior owners who simply didn’t seem to care about their property. Its been a few years and after following their recommentations on treatments, aerations, mowing tips, etc… I have to say my lawn looks incredible. Neighbors have commented, even my wife who pays no attention to that stuff said how great it looks. The service has been outstanding, people are great, owner/management extremely responsive and informative. If you are looking for a great service for your lawn I highly recommend Terra

Our lawn was in bad shape. I tried everything you can buy to get rid of all the weeds, crabgrass, onion grass etc. Almost our whole street uses Terra so we decided to as well. I would say within a year and a half the lawn is unbelievable. There is absolutely nothing we (normal consumers) can buy to get the outcome Terra does. Their knowledge is unmatched. I have recommended multiple friends and family and they have been as happy as we have!!!!

Jeff Halasy

This is our first year with Terra and so far I am very impressed. We had a problem with dandelions after the first application this year. I called and they responded immediately. They were back out in two days taking care of the problem. Scott was very professional and knowledgeable.

Excellent, first class customer service by Pat Lowry! Pat went above and beyond!
