I called RR Webb after our previous lawn spraying company dropped the ball. This local Old school business is great and they come on time. Their service is slightly cheaper too so you know I like that. Brenda in the office is quite courteous. Frank does our lawn spraying and our lawn is now the greenest in our neighborhood- true fact! Because they did such great work, we just added Charlotte on their team for extermination and she eliminated my contractor ant problem. So glad we nipped it in the bud as they can really do a number on your house. I highly recommend!

I recently replaced my front lawn that RR web Had been spraying for years. After spending $4500 on a new front lawn they were caring for Developed fungus. This is what they were spraying for and has now reappeared on my new front lawn after web sprayed. The person doing the work had no answer for why I was getting fungus that they were supposed to be getting rid of. I just call this incompetence and a waste of my money. I would have given them one star but after using them for 10 years I thought maybe I owe them two stars.

Ask for Mark! Very professional and communicative! He would let us know the day before each service as we have dogs, always friendly and hardworking. He brought our lawn back to life! Had weeds and drought damage, has filled in, green and healthy! Thank you all! Service: Fleas or mites

DO NOT USE THEM! if I could do less than 1 star I would they are the WORST lawn care and pest control company I have ever dealt with. I had roughly $10,000 worth of landscaping completed at my house that was beautiful. RR webb was in charge of the lawn pest control. I got a grub infestation AND fungus infestation that killed 75% of my entire yard. I asked for any help with remediation and was essentially told to pound sand.

I could not and still cannot believe the complete LACK OF INTEGRITY from this company. The owner did not even have the courage to speak with me for months and had a secretary shield her. Then when I finally caught her she was quite rude. You are better off fertilizing your lawn with salt. I cannot stress this enough - DO NOT USE THEM!
