There has been a significant drop off in quality this year. Weed management being the primary issue. I contacted the office twice with pictures asking for them to address the problems and no action was taken. I will be switching suppliers

Barr was incredible! They worked me in on a hot day to kill mosquitoes that are in our yard. The men were very kind and friendly. I would recommend them to anyone who has trouble with mosquitoes and other insects.

They have broken our back door twice and won't stop walking through our garden, stepping on and pulling our plants. We've never been able to have any plants because they consistently kill them. Unfortunately I don't get a choice on their services because of the HOA. I wouldn't hire them if there was a gun to my head

Apparently my neighbor hired Barr to clean io their yard for spring. Barr did this by implying blowing all the junk from the neighbors yard into mine. Great job much appreciated. Horrible company

I inherited Barr from the previous homeowner. When the irrigation system was opened they made sure there was water flowing and that was about it. Heads were problematic, aimed wrong, leaking. Later the system shorted out and I had to call them back 3 times to get it right. Then later a valve sprung a leak and was continuously running. My technician was nice but he can barely sit or kneel and this compromises his work.
I had multiple bare areas in my lawn, two large ones were for a swing set that was removed. Barr agreed to seed the areas. They did this one week AFTER they applied pre-emergent to my lawn, so none of it grew. I found this out later when I hired another company late in the year to resurrect my failing lawn.
I asked Barr to reimburse me for the seed application/labor charges and they refused. They offered to do it again, but I had different companies come and solve these problems for me as I had lost faith in this one.
Buyer beware. Also, irrigation technicians are not plumbers and can’t do your backflow testing so you have to have an additional plumber come out and charge you for that service as well.
I don’t usually post reviews, but when they refused to reimburse for the grass that wouldn’t grow because of the chemicals they applied themselves the week prior, I was motivated enough.
