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.

“This is the textbook case of why TryMyCompany exists. The $19 cleaning is real, but it's the unlock fee for a roughly $59/mo, 6-month, ~$354-total membership that almost nobody realizes they're signing up for. As of mid-2026, Washington residents can cancel penalty-free mid-commitment following a state settlement; everywhere else the six-month lock-in still holds. The cleaners themselves are usually fine — the business model is the problem. We list this as a *warning trial*: if you book it, do it because you genuinely want six months of monthly cleanings at the member rate, not because you wanted a one-off $19 deep clean before your in-laws visit.”
