GreenThumb Reviews 

Most unreliable company I’ve ever dealt with. 4 time they have scheduled a date for treatment and a couple of day prior they cancel.

They should have come today but rang this morning to cancel

The scheduling staff are totally disinterested when you ring to complain and don’t respond to emails.

Direct Debit doubled. Been using them for years with no problem. Checked my bank this morning direct debit has doubled no warning No one answering calls 25 mins on hold trying to cancel Cancelled the direct debit and they can get in touch with me

Redcar branch. This company is taking peoples money and not fulfilling the contract. Having to chase them for your aeration and scarification date no answer when you ring the number I’ve tried calling every day for three weeks and head office number no answer, does anyone still work there!!!
Today the man turned up to feed the lawn complained to him. He handed me the generaI letter and a extra letter to say the payment will be increasing don’t hesitate to contact them that’s a laugh been trying for 3 weeks 🤣. Bet they contact me now I’ve cancelled my direct debit 👍

I have just seen the terrible reviews on here and now feel reassured that we were not the only customers. They treated our lawn but it has turned into a disaster with most of the grass died away. They are totally disinterested in advising or helping and just try and upswell other services to you.

After two years of the "green thumb" treatment my lawns are now a disaster zone from the lush lawns which they were.
Appalled barely covers my anguish, mainly over my stupidity in trusting what are obviously a bunch of charlatans whose knowledge of lawns can be printed on the back of a matchbox.
Cancelled my DD with no feedback from them as to why, but then, they care little for their customers only the money and even less interest in our lawns.
Anyone interested in employing these "people" should think more than twice.

Green thumb have ruined my lawn and will not speak to me in any form. I hope these negative comments cause them damage

The service form this Business is absolutely appalling.
Now they have completely closed my account without even advising me. They cancelled a a treatment 3 times on the day so i advised them i would stop my d/d as i was not paying for something foe which i was receiving no service.
I said i would reveew this once the treatment had been paid for .
I would add they have increased the price from £43 to £57
why should you pay for something and it never done.
After complaining yet again they said they would review.
I would add their web chat is waste of space and trying to speak to a person on the phone you have to wait over 25 minutes despite them saying this would improve.

This Business has gone completely downhill this year.

A c63% increase in fees? Rip off big style.

I have just received a letter from green thumb, which states my monthly direct debit is going to be increased by nearly 50%, I have just come off the phone from them, their reason is everything has gone up !
I have been with green thumb for over 10 years and will not be using this service again.

have been using Green Thumb for about 3 years, they were supposed to come and do our winter treatment 2nd december 2022 - didnt turn up, waited a couple of weeks then phoned them, they gave me another appointment - didnt turn up, waited a couple of weeks again, phoned them, they gave me another appointment for today 17/02/23 - didnt turn up!! they never call me to say sorry for not coming, i have to chase them. 3 times they have failed to show. I have cancelled direct debit now

I have been using Green thumb in Beverley for a few years now and I’ve always been very pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend them .

Green thumb put a winter treatment down.after 3 days you could visibly see the grass dying. We contacted them and then the head office . for help . Chris from the brigg office in Lincolnshire came out said the loss thinning of grass wait for it every excuse from the dogs weeing to the wet winter or the frost. he then said he has no idea and to wait till September it’s now January. we have been with green thumb for years we now have ended all treatments. they don’t know what they put in there treatment s would not have them back ever .look at the reviews should call them it’s not our fault or brown thumb. The head office was full of positive help but it fell to Nothing . They caused the lawn to look like a rugby pitch. Spraying so called treatment. and they don’t even know what it was . when Chris there area franchise manager threw some fertiliser on the lawn when he was asked why he said it’s to green the lawn that was not present only muddy earth . So remember if you use brown thumb. and it goes wrong it’s not what they put on or anything they do

I’m not a Greenthumb customer…and that is the problem. We had a card pushed through our door a few days ago saying that their operatives had applied fertiliser and an anti-moss treatment to our lawn. We did NOT ask for this service. Furthermore, as our lawned areas are to the rear of the house, the Greenthumb people had to trespass to access them. My partner was in the house at the time, but didn’t see them, and they certainly didn’t request permission. Shocking behaviour. We have set our garden up as wildlife friendly and we avoid using any artificial fertilisers or grass treatments. I’m now chasing them to see if they’ll remove the treatment (I don’t care if they suck this stuff up using straws…).

5/2/23 UPDATE: I think it’s only fair to offer an update on this story, as a nice lady called Fiona from Preston North Green Thumb took the trouble to email today (a Sunday) to discuss the issue and seek to understand what happened. It appears that their technician came to the wrong house in my street, having had a legitimate job to do a couple of doors down. It’s an annoying mistake, in the age of GPS and Google Maps; but I’m impressed with the response from Fiona. Taking a complaint seriously and trying to resolve. Customer Service 101, sensibly defusing the matter, and bumping up the stars to compensate.

Green Thumb have fulfilled the first part of my contract. One man came to scarifyi and aeriate my lawn. Green Thumb charged me £564 for that one days work. I don't know what you think but I feel ripped off. I was not made aware of how little work was required to achieve the job compared to the charge. It was supposed to be two guys for half a day bit in guy didn't turn up but didn't affect the total hours of work. Me an OAP as well!

We have been using Greenthumb NORTH WEST for several years visited yesterday by David and Dillon who arrived when they said who are very pleasant and did a good job as always. Never any problem with payment we are emailed the invoice and ring up and make payement with a card.

Green Thumb have been treating our lawns since the Spring .After a difficult year weather wise the treatments are having the desired affect.James Haddow gave the lawn the Autumn/Winter Long Nutragreen treatment yesterday.He was very informative and polite young man

Mark Penny was polite and explained clearly what he had done. The lawn looks very good apart from 2 small patches that will need to be reseeded in the Spring.

Greenthumb have been coming to me for years. I use the Croydon branch and have always had excellent service. Dave and his team have been exemplary always on time and very pleasant to deal with. Our lawn is much better as a result of the great service. Communication with them is very straightforward both by email and by telephone. Can’t fault them in anyway

Rob and Glyn from the Sheffield Branch arrived on time. I explained some of the issues around the anticipated work and we were able to easily come to a conclusion as to what lawn areas to treat. Work done efficiently and leaving no mess. Very satisfied with their work.

They are really good.........at throwing litter down in your street after doing work on a neighbours garden. Two vans, one hour, banana skins tossed on the street. If that's how they treat the environment, you should think carefully about letting them anywhere near your garden.Horsell, Surrey, you know who you are.
