Its the weed treatment that is a hassle with mixing chemicals, etc, I decided it was too much of a hassle and risk handling various poisons. FWIW, just this year the company became a Tru-Green franchise.

My neighbor uses a different company (Atlas) and they did something to his lawn last week that turned it yellow. Too bad for them their little yard sign is still in his lawn naming the culprit.
i dunno why, but that seems kinda lazy, why do it in such a half assed way? Aren't there pre-mixed things from Scotts/etc with weed treatments?
