Our take
The free first application looks like a slam-dunk and it kind of is — TruGreen will spray your weeds at no upfront cost. The thing nobody mentions is that "first application" is the entry point to a recurring service that re-bills automatically every 6–8 weeks, and the next invoice is $65+. Take the first treatment if you want a real chemical knockdown of crabgrass without the trip to Home Depot, then call to cancel the same week. If you're not ready for that fight, just don't sign up.
