Review Overview

Nature’s Select Premium Turf Services in Winston-Salem is best suited for homeowners who want a deeply integrated, long-term lawn and landscape program rather than a one-off treatment. This company shines for property owners with sizable yards, single-family homes, neighborhoods with HOA standards, and landscapes that blend lawn, shrubs, and trees. It is especially well-matched for jobs that require a thoughtful, multi-faceted approach: regular fertilization, weed control, aeration and overseeding, disease and pest management, and seasonal shrub or tree care. The budget range is mid to higher, reflecting their emphasis on soil health, tailored recommendations, and consistent, year-round service. Urgency matters less for routine maintenance than for urgent re-seeding or corrective steps, but the company’s track record of prompt scheduling and reliable arrivals still supports those moments when a quick turn-around is needed to keep a yard looking its best.

Safety and cleanup standards emerge as a practical, non-negotiable feature of the service, and Nature’s Select treats them as such. The reviews repeatedly highlight courtesy, careful customer communication, and respect for the property: technicians are noted to arrive on time, walk the yard with clients to confirm areas of concern, and leave no mess behind. Several technicians are praised for pet awareness, with team members ensuring dogs are out of the way and gates left secure after visits. The best-of-the-best operators go beyond simple application, performing thorough cleanups and sometimes even blowing off porches and walkways to leave the space neat. Cautions do exist, there are isolated reports of misapplied products affecting non-target areas and a few billing glitches, but the overarching pattern shows a strong safety mindset and a clear commitment to responsible work practices.

On performance, Nature’s Select delivers a compelling, results-oriented package. The service cadence covers everything from preventative pre-emergents to targeted weed control, and the company consistently demonstrates expertise in boosting lawn density, managing invasive grasses, and sustaining green, vibrant turf over time. Long-tenured crews, names like Chris, Nikki, Kalee, Austin, and Steve recur in the reviews, combine technical know-how with practical lawn care wisdom: soil health, aeration, overseeding, and timely follow-ups to address patches or stubborn weeds. The yard transformation stories are numerous, clients pivoting from weed-choked lawns to lush carpets of grass, with multiple years of sustained improvement. A few customers note that when a technician changed or service delivery time felt rushed, the results could suffer, underscoring the need for consistent staffing and clear, documented plans.

Communication and reliability stand out as hallmarks of Nature’s Select, though not without rare missteps. The program is built around proactive, predictable interactions: pre-service texts, advance notice for appointments, and a practice of technicians walking the yard with clients to review concerns. The best clients describe a relationship that feels personal and dependable, with staff who explain treatments and why they’re needed rather than simply applying products. Yet a small subset of reviews recount issues with scheduling accuracy, incomplete services, or billing disputes after year-long contracts. The takeaway is that the system works exceptionally well when the assigned technician is consistent and the service plan is clearly documented in advance. There is value in requesting the same technician when possible and maintaining written notes about areas to avoid or special requirements for pets, plants, and flower beds.

Value and long-term reliability anchor the decision to engage Nature’s Select for lawn and shrub care. The company is repeatedly praised for delivering noticeable results over years, not just months, with customers describing their yards as among the best in the neighborhood. Many reviews cite reasonable pricing for the level of service and the depth of care, including examples where the company honored price concessions for reseeding or added treatments at little to no extra cost. That said, there are a handful of negative experiences centered on billing inconsistencies or perceived lapses in service after a long relationship, which serve as a reminder to secure a solid contract, confirm scope, and track service dates. For property owners who value education, transparency, and a local, attentive crew that treats landscaping as a living system, Nature’s Select remains a strong, trustworthy partner.

The practical verdict is straightforward: Nature’s Select is the choice for homeowners who want continuity, sophistication, and a hands-on local team that treats lawn and shrubs as a cohesive system. It suits properties that require a thoughtful care plan, aggressive weed control, and persistent soil management, all delivered by staff known for communication and personal accountability. It is less ideal for those seeking the cheapest option, for owners who cannot commit to a long-term program, or for jobs that demand specialized arborist-grade tree trimming or urgent emergency removals handled by separate, tree-specific pros. For best results, insist on a written plan that names the assigned technician, outline the exact treatments, and confirms safety practices for pets and non-target plantings. In Winston-Salem’s climate, that disciplined approach often translates into a yard that not only survives the season but thrives across years.
