Bandits I was presented with a price increase of 89% (to cover their increased costs!) so for me it was a no brainer to cancel. Companies that treat their loyal customers like this don't last very long. Mark my words - they will go bust.

Customer Service utterly useless We live in the New Forest and have used them over the past 3 years. They tell us, invariably at short notice, that they are sending someone to provide a treatment that we have never requested, and when we tell them we don’t want it they reschedule the same treatment! At the moment in March they are trying to provide us with an Autumn feed for our lawn when we have repeatedly asked for moss killing and a spring feed with weedkiller. I just can’t stand this incompetence any longer.

I've used Green Thumb Worcester for a… I've used Green Thumb Worcester for a number of years, since moving into this region. All the workforce that have visited, have been courteous, cheerful and hard working. On completion of their work, they leave my garden in a clean and almost not worked on state (I have CCTV so I know they've been). I can't recommend them highly enough.

Sour taste Every appointment was rebooked, the cost went up before any improvement was seen, the front and middle lawns were in a worse condition after the last treatment, they had no solution to dogs using a lawn, and finally after we cancelled, my last chat with them was “ you will be reimbursed for any over payments” they called one time after that but I was busy and finally we got a rude e-mail today saying we actually owed £40 and they were taking us to court, we paid immediately, but it has left a sour taste. Read a gardening book and buy some weed and feed. It’s cheaper.

Costs versus Benefits I am a senior citizen and I have relied on Green Thumb for many years However, we have seen both foxes as well as badgers repeatedly destroy our lawn, even after expensive pest control treatments I could not recommend Green Thumb, if you live in a rural area where animals are likely to be present I have also paid for lawn scarifying to prevent the growth of moss but GT just bag the debris and leave the customer to dispose of the bags. Difficult for a senior citizen who is no longer driving! Ultimately the cost of the service far outweighed any visible benefits so I closed the account.
