Is TruGreen's 'TruComplete' lawn care program really worth it?

TruGreen offers many lawn care programs like TruHealth, TruMaintenance, TruComplete, and TruNatural. These all plans are based on the specific requirements of the lawn.

But here, I'll only help you to get a good informational analysis based on people's opinions and TruGreen's advertisement about their TruComplete plan. 

So considering you never bought TruGreen's Trucomplete plan ever, here is the detailed info about the TruComplete plan.

TruGreen's 'TruComplete' lawn care plan

TruComplete plan is different from TruMaintenance and TruHealth because it has more services included. It is also different than TruNatural; where TruNatural is a natural product-based service.

Note: The following details are not influenced by anyone and I'm not suggesting you buy this service or not. 

What is the TruComplete plan?

TruGreen's 'TruComplete plan is a complete package of handling various issues of lawn in a single subscription. In the 'TruComplete' plan, the following services are included throughout the year for your lawn grass treatment and maintenance- 

Weed Control

In this service, workers try to prevent the early weeds in the affected areas so that they will not invade your lawn easily in the future. 

Fertilization

In the 'TruComplete' plan, they use slow-release formulae at certain times of the year so that lawn grass can get proper feed and boost its growth. 

Tailored Lawn Treatment

This lawn service is based on specific lawn needs such as grub controlling, soil acidity neutralization, and ultimately balancing the soil pH in the entire lawn. 

Aeration and Overseeding

This service includes the removal of small plugs when they reseed the thin areas. In future weeks, these plugs get to break down and become thicker after feeding the lawn. Thus overall lawns become healthier after these services.

What does TruGreen promise you?

TruGreen promises a scientific approach while examining your lawn conditions and its treatment as well. They claim to offer certain plans according to the lawn need based on their scientific lawn testing. Specific lawn care programs like 'TruComplte', suggest it when lawn condition is very poor and requirements are high. 

TruGreen promises you guaranteed results(according to their website) through their professional lawn care workers. 

Public opinions on TruComplete

We've researched and compiled all the honest public opinions through various online platforms like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Quora, and Youtube. Following are the people's opinions about the TruComplete lawn care service of TruGreen-

Martin says(Source Facebook)- "TruComplete is a good lawn care plan if you can't do much of your own. I've added office work and I can't manage my lawn regularly. For the last two years, I'm having a TruComplete plan which is very suitable according to my lifestyle. They give me every update and response whenever I ask them."

Angela writes(Source Quora)- "I've bought TruComplete plan which seems very genuine to me initially but with time, I didn't find drastic improvements as I've heard from people. I can say it is slightly better than it was before but not completely as it should be. I'm doubtful about buying it again."

Michelle says- "My lawn had several varieties of lawn weeds like dandelion, clover, chickweeds, and thistle. There was also an overwatering issue. At first, the TruComplete plan looked good but after 5 months of having the service, though results are not as expected but still, better than before. I'm expecting more improvements as they're regularly keeping in touch with me through their reports."

Is TruComplete worth it?

Many times, you can't get enough points of criticism and favor to decide whether to choose something or not. Here, I've distinguished the points in favor of the TruComplete plan and criticism of it. So I want you to be clear that the following points are not my opinions.
