TruGreen Chemlawn - What To Do

TruGreen ChemLawn • New Jersey Sues TruGreen Chemlawn --- Consumer Complaints • Too Much Service • Not Enough Service • Pricing • Happy Insider • Unhappy Ex-Insider --- • What You Can Do

Signing up with a lawn service is just like joining a health club or opening a cell phone account. There is a contract that spells out the terms and obligations. Step No. 1 in protecting yourself is to keep a copy of every contract you sign. Put it in a file where you can find it.

If you decide you no longer want the service, dig out the contract and see when the term expires. You are probably obligated to complete the current term but a cancellation in writing will prevent unwanted renewals.

The contract should specify the address to which notices are to be sent. Send a letter similar to this to the address specified.
