Heckel Vegetation Management
In April of 2025 I decided to try Heckel after receiving a door-to-door solicitation from one of their representatives. I purchased the $400 Lawn Care & Fertilization 6-Step Program, which promised:-ONE core aeration, and-SIX fertilizer and weed control treatments.APRIL 9, 2025I received the core aeration service.JUNE 9, 2025I called to ask when the FIRST fertilizer/weed control application would take place, and received it that day.AUGUST 13, 2025I called to ask when the SECOND fertilizer/weed control application would take place, and received it that day.I also asked if I was supposed to remind them to come out in the future and was told, "No, you're set up on a rotation in our system."That was the last time I called.SEPTEMBER 10, 2025I received the THIRD fertilizer/weed control application.After that... nothing.I didn't call again because I didn't think that it would be necessary. Hindsight is, as the cliche goes, 20/20.I won't go into detail about it, but there was also a minor issue at the outset having to do with billing. It wasn't caused from anything I had done or not done, but was rather an issue on their part.I have no idea why my service came up short, especially after reading the many 5-star reviews, but this experience has taught me to never pay in full up front.I'm giving two stars because the look of my yard did improve.
