I dont recommend Trad for any service.. I originally requested just Flea control. Whatever they used, did not work well, as I had to get them to come back all the time. (I flea comb at night to be certain the dogs are flea free). One day I asked if they sprayed for weeds. Joell , a nice young guy said he would spray for weeds, and if I liked it, I could order thru office. Well a week goes by, everything is dying from their herbicide. I Called and they came out and put liquid Aeration down. It did not help. I asked for them to replace all the dead grass and all they wanted to do was sprinkle seed. (ground was hard by that time, even after watering so obvious seed would not take). After 6 weeks of trying to get response, I was called and told by Billy that they would replace with sod. (now Bahai is not super pretty, but I know the difference between Bahai and Cow Pasture grass). When they brought it out, 1 palet was nice bahai. But 80% of sod was pasture grass with tons of weeds and cow poo. The pieces he had put down were not close together, so it looks horrible. I've had to pick up some and re-lay, and remove the dead pieces. I asked billy to pay the first month water bill since having to water twice a day for 2 weeks. (none of this is my fault and would not have had to water like that if they had not killed the grass I had). Billy refused and said they replaced the sod and thats all they could do. (It may not survive the summer, as they did not core Aerate, or amend the hard soil, and many pieces had dead parts). I even had a neighbor drive by and laugh at my yard.. Disappointed with this mess. Do not hire Trads if you have Bahai. They dont have a clue and don't seem to care. read more

I was very impressed with my technicians attention to detail as he sprayed the lawn because he went in an got all the nooks and grannies and not just the large surface areas. He got behind the sheds and under the trailer in the backyard. He didn't miss a spot. It's nice to see young men take pride in their work and provide quality service. So far I have had excellent technicians on all the services I have had completed by Trad's. They must have a good vetting process. I will continue to use Trad's for all my lawn and pest services. read more

If I could give less than one star I would. Eight of my neighbors and we dropped them. Lawn pest control, fertilize? They were terrible. We actually caught one either cutting the chemicals with water. My lawn was a disaster with them. Dropped then! Hired Turf Squad from Fleming island, Florida. My lawn and neighbors lawns look great now read more

Once again, Rory was at my home today and executed a complete and comprehensive survey of my property to insure its well-being against termites, rats, and other hostile creatures. The piece of mind that Rory affords me is wonderful. He is truly an asset to Trad's reputation. read more

I switched services to Trad in 2022 after being with Turf Tech for 15 years. Big mistake for me to leave. During the first visit the technician did not do anything to the lawn - when I called the company to complain, they put the manager and employee on the phone with me. Of course the employee swore that he treated my lawn. Tru Green had a bad reputation of "ghosting" - meaning they pretend to treat and don't. The rates are $90 per treatment. I'm looking to switch. Be careful with this company. read more

Last year I repeatedly asked for service to get rid of ants. After three attempts I gave up and used a spray that I had. About three weeks ago I was contacted by Erika and told that my card was rejected a 35 dollar payment for renewal. I was not sure I wanted to renew and did not react to the problem with the expired card. Last week I saw the Trads truck across the street servicing my neighbor's house. The technician did not come to my house and I was relieved because I had not renewed the contract. However to my surprise, he left notice of service. I called and talked to Erika and George " the manager" who promised he would talk to the technician and call back. He never called back and he continues to bill me for services not rendered. The amount is only $35, the treatment was very painful for an old lady (83) like me. Do not recommend this company to my worst enemy!!!!! read more

Trad's is my go to place for more specific lawn and garden care products. A few weeks back i seemed to look everywhere for citrus nutritional spray and couldn't find it anywhere. Sure enough, Trad's had it. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. They even helped me take everything to my car another time when I had my hands full with my son (2 years old) and the plants and soil I purchased. I wish they were open a little later than 5:00 during the week. It's hard to make it there after work before they close. read more

Trad's Pest Control - View from the parking lot - Pest Control Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Always on time, always courteous. I wish other companies had this level of customer support.

Trad's has the friendliest, most knowledgeable, and most helpful staff. They do not hesitate to share their expertise. Anytime we come here, someone is always there to assist us and even walk with us as we choose plants for different types of planting spaces. Please ask them what grows best where to avoid gardening disappointments. They also have a good selection of pottery with better prices than Rockaway Garden Center although the latter has a better selection of succulents and veggies/herbs. Trad's however beats every other nursery that I have been to in the variety of bamboos available and so far every plant that we have purchased here has thrived well. Check them out today and revamp your gardens to increase curb appeal and real estate value ;) read more

I've had Trad's services for more than 20 years. At my home in Fruit Cove and now at my home at the beach. They are the most knowledgeable lawn and pest services company around. And very customer friendly. I would recommend them to anyone who is comparing services. The more services you enroll in, the more you save, too! read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. They have caused a huge hole in my yard which they refuse to pay for repairs, they took over my termites but never did an inspection so legal I can sue them. And then they NEVER EVER RETURN PHONE CALLS OR EMAILS. I called about treatment, a week goes by and still no word after being told someone will call me. This goes on EVERYTIME. Now, they canceled my services without request and refuse to cover the bonding of a new termite treatment which legal they should since they never did it correct the first time. If you like awful customer service and having your home damaged - go with them! ****update**** professional companies do not go and try to battle the customer on reviews. And they return phones! But we are very happy with our new company. Our lawn isn't dead anymore! read more

It took about three years for Trads to get our lawn back into a lush, green and well appointed lawn. We had been using another service and of course, me tried doing the "Home Depot" self care after the former lawn service could not perform as promised results. One of our neighbor's had been using Trads, so I gave them a try. On their first visit, the agent said that the lawn was in poor condition and that it would take a year or two for it to revive. True to his estimate, the third year showed the promised results. Give them a try, but realize that it will take time for all good things to finally come to fruition! read more

Where do I even begin with Trad's?! What a terrible, horrible company. As small business owners, I was conflicted about writing a negative review on Trad's because I understand how bad reviews can negatively impact businesses. That being said, I am beyond furious with this company that I believe others need to hear our experience. We signed up with Trad's for lawn care after purchasing a new home. Our home had a great lawn, which has since been destroyed by Trad's. After months of back and forth and being told "give us more time to fix this problem," we chose to cancel our service. After months of trying to cancel our service, Trad's continued to show up and bill us. We have made multiple phone calls to this company to ensure our service was canceled after they continued to bill us, after they destroyed our yard. We were reassured time and time again that our service was canceled and that we no longer had a balance. Trad's even offered to come out to provide free service for their horrible service. We passed. We'd rather just wipe our hands clean from this company. This Spring, we have spent over $500.00 ripping up dead grass, fertilizing, and re-sodding our yard. Today, we received a collection notice in the mail to advise us that Trad's has sent our "unpaid" bill to collections after we were reassured time and time again that our balance was paid and that our service was canceled. These people are thieves and should not be in business. Do not make the same mistake we made by supporting this local business. I have no idea how they've remained in business this long when they treat customers like trash. read more

Very unhappy with the service that they provided. I was misinformed and have spent $$ on restoring my lawn. Poor communication to the new customer never returned my calls back in a timely manner. read more

Over the summer I moved my lawn care from Scott's to Trads and was the worst mistake. Below you will see before and after pics of how they have ruined my yard by mistreating army worms and fungus. We called a manager to come out named John who was beyond rude and arrogant after being a hour and a half late for the appointment who informed us it was due to bad irrigation. The entire yard is burnt from over application of weed control from a few weeks ago. My contract will be canceled immediately with them and Scott's has assured me that they will rescue the yard from this mess. I am also contacting the BBB over the way I was treated by John. Unacceptable from a company that I pay $100 month for lawn care. read more

My husband & I went to Trad's Saturday afternoon to select a tree for our front yard. I wanted an edible variety & had called Friday to see if & what they had available. My husband preferred something besides citrus, so I asked specifically for those options. The lady on the phone said she would have one of the floor guys check it out & that she would call me back. Within 10 minutes, she phoned & gave me the rundown: what a variety of options she rattled off! From several varieties of peaches, plums, pears & even apples, I was impressed & told her we'd be by! When we arrived, a young man named Dustin showed us to the back where the "edibles" are. Again, I was floored by the selection. My husband and I hummed and hawed about which tree to bring home, all the while Dustin patiently answering our questions to the best of his ability. We were between a sun racer nectarine and an Arbequina olive tree. Hubby made the final decision on the medium-sized potted nectarine. There was also an extra large size of the same nectarine variety without a price tag, but, seeing other trees in similar sized pots, we figured that size had to be more expensive. Dustin brought it up to the main building for us and when the cashier announced the $90+ total, my husband and I were surprised. Even in the medium- sized pot? Are you sure that price wasn't for the large nectarine? But it was the same price, no matter the size. Well since we weren't willing to spend that much, the decision was made easy for us: it was going to be the arbequina olive (which was a more modest $45.) So sweet Dustin returned the nectarine and came back with our olive tree. Despite the minor surprise confusion over pricing, Trad's is an awesome nursery. The staff are the best--knowledgable, willing to help and patient. :) read more

Corey F. has been doing an excellent job treating my yard the last few months. It looks great and he is always so nice and friendly. I am very pleased. Kathy L. read more

My first trip to Trad's Nursery was this past weekend... after years of just driving by. I agree and have to point out, as some of the other yelpers have stated... this place is HUGE when you walk through the door! It's looks tiny when you pull up front to park, but they have an amazing variety. I am just getting into the whole urban gardening thing... but noticed a lot of Florida native plants. (I like that! I hate spending money on plants that just won't work with our heat.) We were approached quite a few times, but not in a hovering kind of way, they just wanted us to know they were available. Bought a few filler flowers for my containers, a gorgeous dwarf bougainvillea and a few herbs. Pricing is very reasonable as well. Looking forward to returning soon! read more

We first visited Trad's a few years ago and have been back several times. They have a really impressive plant nursery [way bigger than you would imagine looking from the street] and I have to say their plants always look so much happier/healthier than the ones at Home Depot or wherever. The big thing though is the staff. Everyone here is a hardcore plant person and a wealth of information. You can get tips on what plants to choose and how to plant and take care of them just by chatting with the staff. The only danger is getting too much info, as really, these people are into it! They also have a really nice selection of pots, tools, fertilizer, etc. Watch out though, they only stock the pro stuff. There's no $8 shovel here, they have the $100-you'll-be-able-to-hand-it-down-to-your-grandchildren type tools. Its actually great to see a company have the integrity to only stock what they believe in, but keep it in mind. This is now the main place we'll shop for lawn stuff. They're locally owned, well informed and care about what they do. A little more than the chains price wise, but you definitely get more quality as well. read more

I had to leave a great review here if for nothing else but service attitude. I spent half an hour calling around Metro Jax for a specific plant. On someone's advice I tried Trad's and had to leave a message since there was no answer. Within 15 minutes not only did they call me back (long distance) but apologized for not having what I was looking for. The amazing part was they had already called their 'competitors' in town and told me where I find the item I was searching for. They could have easily said " Sorry and good luck" but went the extra mile. I don't see myself visiting many other nurseries in the future. Great job, guys! read more

I've been using Trad's for several years and I couldn't be happier I've tried several companies and Trad's is by far the best in Jacksonville Janice my technical supervisor is great read more

Not only was their service on my lawn very disappointing, but dealing with their business office was a nightmare. Very rude & irresponsible behavior. Insisted, strongly & without wavering, that she had sent bills every month. Blamed the post office for losing them. Interesting that the p.o. only lost their bills; all my other mail has been delivered just fine. I cannot warn strongly enough against hiring this company. read more

We have been dealing with Trad's garden service for many years and are extremely satisfied with this company. Most especially with Bryan, our technician. He is truly conscientious, and informs us of any problems and how to resolve them. We have had many techicians in the past, but Brian is the best. Mary H read more

They strive for the customers needs. I like that. Our service technician, Darius is Phenomenal!!!

Communication is very important in a business, leaving a detail problem message and not getting response back several times says a lot to a paying customer. Am I Dealing with a Highly recommended and Professional company?...Not! I spent a lot of money on that lawn and trusted your service would keep it's word to take care of it. No star rating is worth the service received to date. To the owner's in this business..The comprehensive knowledge and their agricultural expertise in this industry has been lost somehow somewhere. This is very important to me, we work hard for our money hard enough to express my review on the communication.. lack of it. read more

Byron does a great job on our yard. The Goethe's

Byron is an amazing technician. So eager to satisfy his customers. Best tech Trad's has ever sent to my house. Dependable and consistent.

I am so disappointed with the service I received for lawn pest control. When initially talking to the salesman I was told that they could bring back my yard in trouble spots. After 5 months what I got was a lawn that was worse off than when they started. It is now full of weeds and bugs which I don't understand since they were spraying for weeds and bugs. This was a vacant property that was for sale and not once did anyone contact me to say there was an issue. They did however have no problem talking to me each month to take my payment. When I brought all of this to their attention their reply was I should have told them there was a problem. My reply was that I had but they being the experts should have known there was a problem before I told them. When viewing their website I see that their company was founded on honesty, Service, knowledge, customer commitment and hard work. Evidently after the company was founded these things are no longer important. All I could do after Trads was fired from treating my yard was to resod areas that they had not taken care of. Oh and of course pay my final bill which they had no problem telling me was due regardless of what I had experienced. Save your money and please don't use this service. You can do no worse than they did even if you don't have any idea about what you are doing. read more

I have been a loyal customer for at least twelve years. Ever since the daughter took over the quality of service has deteriorated. They send a text message saying they completed a service and you are supposed to be able to log into an account and figure out how much and when to water. Never been able to log on. The technicians used to be top notch and knowledgable but not now. I have stuck with them for way to long. When I called to inform them that I would not be renewing for the next year they could have cared less. They obviously have so much business that they don't care they are losing a valuable loyal customer. All the years of my corner lot advertising for free and not acknowledging the fact that they have lost a customer. I guess it is really no surprise because the service is terrible. They let your yard get to a point where they have to send in a "manager" to fix the issues instead of actually taking care of the yard and bushes as they should.( P.S.) I am aware that they only come out a prescribed amount and any other time you have to place a service call. This was not an issue years ago but again now is a big hassle. read more

0 stars for Trad's Pest Control. A year ago, we decided to hire Trad's to take care of our lawn because my husband was no longer able to do it himself. Much to our disappointment, our yard under their watch looks worse now than when they started. Large patches of grass have died due to sod web worms, even though I called them as soon as I noticed moths flying around. In response, they dumped so much chemical on my lawn that it burned up large patches. I now have the worse looking lawn in my neighborhood. Oh, and don't bother asking for a manager to come out. Dave stopped by twice. The first time he told me that sod web worms had attacked and brought me 5 pieces of replacement sod. Are you kidding Dave, you saw my lawn, it needed at least 50. Two months ago I had all of the sod replaced in my back yard. 3 pallets worth. It is now half dead. Dave came out again, shook his head, said he needed to check something at the office and would be back in touch. That was 3 days ago, and I haven't heard a word. 3 pallets of sod killed... and no response. Save yourself a lot of aggravation and choose someone else! read more

"Rory always does a great job for us. He is attentive to our needs and is always ready to answer any question regarding our lawn!"

We had Trugreen for 15 years, but decided, because of cost to try Trad's. After 2 months whatever they put on the lawn turned the entire front yard YELLOW. When the Trad person finally came out to see it...he didn't know what caused it and didn't know what to do to fix it.....wrong answer. You are the professional, you should know every out come of the chemicals you use. I paid for those 2 applications. Now they say they are going to bill us for the whole year.....and we better pay or they will sue. Can't wait to see you in court read more

We have been using Trad's since we moved into our new home five years ago. When we called them, our lawn was mostly weeds. Now it's lush, green, and beautiful. In fact, we get frequent compliments and I always say, it's not us, it's our knowledgeable Trad's technician, Pho Chung. read more

Quick location for me to pick up some plants on my way out to visit my family. They are always in good shape and fair prices. I would recommend when choosing flowers to ask for their advise for the season and planting location as I have had some flowers in the past not make it. Overall excellent doing business with them and I will be back to pick up some more plants and slowly work on my yard. Thanks! read more

This is by far the worst lawn service I have ever had!!! When we bought our house two years ago the lawn was full and green. We chose Trad's as our lawn service and we quickly lost our yard in that year. Trads came out stating there were already bugs and we did not call frequently enough. We replaced our lawn in April, had then spray before we laid it and they have been our service since. We called the minute bugs began eating our lawn and they refuse to call back. When I did get through to someone their supervisors did not show up when they say they would and our new lawn is now eaten up by bugs. I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and will file suit if they do not rectify the situation. I highly discourage anyone using this company. read more

We recently started with Trad's after working with another company who did not meet our lawn's needs. Byron was the first technician I personally met, while he came, along with another company staff member, to do a lawn inspection. I mentioned to Byron that a specific lawn treatment was promised, at the time we signed up with the company, but that I did not believe that it had yet been done. He checked to make sure that the treatment, indeed, had not been done and proceeded to do the treatment that we were promised. Thank you Byron, for listening to my lawn concern and following through. I look forward to a positive relationship with this company and with Byron, hopefully, the tech regularly assigned to us. read more

Sent an untrained person to care for my lawn. Killed a lot of grass, then tried to make it seem like my fault. My security cameras revealed how little they were doing. I would never hire them again. read more

I don't even know where to begin with these guys. The service was for my dads home who works over seas. They came by last year during winter to give us an estimate then came back in April to start. Well their guys said something about how they couldn't do anything without us having to "resod." To do so would cost an arm and a leg so my dad cancelled it all together. We thought that was the last we'd heard of them. Come to find out, Dawn (seems friendly but is really just a thief) came by for me to sign something that my brother said was just to confirm that we didn't have the type of grass they thought. Not to do any sort of service. Just sign and leave. HE DID NOTHING TO OUR LAWN WHATSOEVER. Yet my dad got a charge of $574!!! And he swore to myself and my brother that there was no charge for ANYTHING. Trads robbed my dad. They're just a bunch of thieves. read more

Hien at Trad's has treated our house/lawn since we moved in 4 years ago and we have been consistently pest free. He is kind, efficient and always responsive. In fact, we were possibly going to switch to a slightly cheaper company but couldn't do it because we've been so happy with Hien's service. Thanks Trads! read more

I've just started w/ Trad's, I chose them on price and my neighbor is using them. Hopefully everything will work out. I just planted $1200.00 worth sod and I need them to help me keep it. Byron,the tech, has been out twice now trying to get my weeds under control, he's been great! We've had no frost, and I'm already getting weeds that will be aproblem later on. I can only say right now, so far so good. I travel, so I need help while I'm gone. I had to fire McCALLS yrs., ago, I'll know by June or July, if I'm staying w/ them or not. I need there help , so hope I'm staying, I hate to fire people! read more
