EPLS Environmental Pest & Lawn Services

Unfortunately, I called and was told Roy would be calling later that day with details and to schedule. When i didn’t hear from him, I called back to check. I was rudely told that he will call when he gets to it on his stack. I t

Our yard has never looked better! I wish I had taken before and after pictures to share but trust me when I tell you that we have seen dramatic improvements! Josh is great and takes the time to consult to see if you have any questions, he will even make sure to ask if you need to let pets out before he services your yard! Thank you for making our yard look like the thick, lush green carpet that we always hoped for!

EPLS has been servicing my lawn for the past three years and after trying several other companies, there is absolutely no comparison. Steven is a true professional whose knowledge of lawns, shrubs and trees is remarkable.

Worst company I've ever hired. They have no idea what they are doing or anything in the industry. You will regret hiring them!

These guys are top notch and are committed to your lawn looking it's best! Been thru countless others, nobody offers this level of quality and professionalism at a fair price. Best of the best!

Very pleased with the service I receive from EPLS, both from the owner and the tech's. I appreciate that they make recommendations for actions I can take to supplement the service they provide. Also appreciate they notify me evening before day of service. My lawn and I highly recommend EPLS.

My lawn is the BEST it has ever been. Previous big box companies have tried, but EPLS has achieved it. Before my yard was just surviving - after only a few treatments, my yard is THRIVING. Tailored chemicals to my specific yard "issues". Very few weeds - phew. Dollar weed gone after one treatment. The drive / sidewalks are blown off at the end of the treatment. I HIGHLY recommend these guys - great job and well worth every penny. Get a quote and see for yourself.

After purchasing a new home and investing in a new lawn, we were referred to EPLS for lawn care and pest services. I give this company 3 stars solely because I have had no issues with the pest services and pest technician, but I would give zero stars to lawn care and lawn technicians. We pay 100$ a month for MONTHLY lawn treatment. Apparently this does not mean approximately every 30days, this just means at anytime in the month. Meaning our lawn going WELL OVER a month without treatment. The lawn technician assigned to our home would come and spend not even 5 minutes on our lawn, and then be in his car in the front of our home for 30 minutes or more and eventually drive off. Additionally, damage was caused to the exterior of our home due this particular technician; however, the company did offer to pay for the damage. I had to cancel service today after strike 3. This same technician said he came to my house but the dog was outside and no one answered the door so he had to leave. This was a complete lie. I have 5 cameras all around my house, including a ring doorbell, and no one ever from EPLS was at my house. For 100$ a month for “monthly” lawn service, it’s absolutely insane. I’ve spoken to Roi the VP regarding these issues, and he seems to be a really nice guy and cares about his customers, it’s a shame that his technicians are not held to any standards.

EPLS cares for their customers homes as if they were their own. After moving to Orlando from MN and never encountering fire ants, when our daughter stepped in a nest and got hundreds of bites, EPLS came out the next day and sprayed our yard. We treat once a year and have remained fire ant free ever since! It’s been 5 years and we do t have e to worry about our kids stepping in a fire ant nest. Roi and his team are top notch. Jeff paying so much to the details of our home ensuing we are pest free, Christian for ensuring our yard is safe for our pet and kids…they are simply the best. You’ll never regret having EPLS taking caring of your home!!

I’m speaking today about the salesperson Mike Remy. He was worth 5 stars. Very professional and his follow up skills were outstanding. Thank you Mike

Response to Roi: EPLS leadership holds a Master’s degree from the University of Florida, yet repeatedly gave recommendations that directly contradict UF/IFAS turf management guidance. That contradiction set the tone for the entire service experience. We retained EPLS for nearly three years and paid over $4,000 in lawn service fees, excluding the additional thousands spent annually hiring outside contractors to replace sod after the same areas of our lawn failed every single year under their management. EPLS does not install sod, does not offer sod replacement, and states this is “not their responsibility,” yet continued billing while the lawn predictably declined. We are now left with a half-dead front lawn for the third consecutive year. This was not seasonal dormancy. Dormant turf loses color — it does not repeatedly collapse to bare soil in the same locations. Annual sod replacement is not coincidence; it is a documented pattern of failure. When asked to explain the pattern, EPLS rotated through explanations — watering, traffic, dogs, shade, weeds, and weather — often contradicting themselves. We maintain continuous video surveillance of the front lawn, which removes speculation. The affected areas were not trafficked by people, not damaged by dogs, and properly irrigated under a professionally monitored system. The only consistent presence in those exact areas was EPLS’s technician during routine service visits. Despite claiming professional expertise, EPLS encouraged watering during a cold snap, then blamed us for reducing irrigation to avoid freezing saturated roots. This advice directly contradicts UF/IFAS recommendations, which clearly advise against irrigation before or during freezes and recommend winter watering only under favorable temperatures. EPLS later acknowledged they would not water their own lawn under those conditions — directly contradicting the guidance they attempted to fault us for. EPLS also stated the lawn is now “mostly crabgrass.” That observation is accurate and revealing. Crabgrass does not overtake healthy, properly managed St. Augustine. It colonizes bare, weakened soil after turf has already failed. Presenting this as a cause rather than a consequence reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of turfgrass biology. The individual presented as the primary professional managing our lawn was Josh. According to EPLS’s own materials, Josh holds no degree or formal training in turfgrass science, agronomy, or soil management and has been with EPLS since 2019, with prior experience limited to general pest management. Despite this, he was positioned as the authority diagnosing chronic turf failure. His explanations shifted month to month and lacked technical clarity, which became increasingly evident as the same problems repeated without correction. Our neighborhood, Sweetwater Oaks, is entirely mature oak canopy — effectively Wekiwa State Park with houses — yet many neighboring properties maintain healthy St. Augustine lawns, even in heavier shade. Our lawn failed including areas with minimal shade, rendering the explanations provided unnecessary. Management ultimately acknowledged the repeated turf loss was “not okay,” declined responsibility, and became dismissive when presented with documentation. At that point, the service crossed from ineffective to professionally embarrassing and unacceptable. After three years, significant expense, and zero corrective outcome, this reflects persistent misdiagnosis, disregard for UF/IFAS standards, lack of qualified turf expertise, and poor oversight. I would not recommend EPLS to anyone seeking competent lawn care.

NO STARS FOR EPLS ! "Had to push one star to be able to post, one star is two too many " ! When i started using EPLS over a year ago i was promised a reasonably beautiful green weed and bug free St Augustine lawn . The first few months my lawn started looking a little better, but sadly started going down hill month by month to what i am left with today, ( see phots ) It is in my opinion if you are possibly planning to use EPLS consider looking around. EPLS is a small family owned company and are very nice people , but well pictures don't lie. It saddens me to have to write this review but it needs to be said. it is going to cost me hundreds if not thousands of dollars and a lott of time to bring my lawn back to an acceptable level . If EPLS really cared and had a conscience they would refund the hundreds of dollar that I waisted on there service, or lack of. Sorry you all , but EPLS really dropped the ball on me. I am not normally one to write such a negative review and not a complainer but here we are !!! VERY UNHAPPY X-CUSTOMER, Scott Hunt $$$$$$$ WAISTED ! You have my address if feel the need to refund my money !! ***** In response to your reply to my accurate previous post, my lawn is getting the proper amount of water that has been checked by an irrigation specialist, and obviously the rest of the lawn shows that . The problem is you have not been able to handle the weeds and pest (bugs) that have entered my lawn and taken over. So as to your suggestion that some how the problem is my fault is a completely WEAK statement , irresponsible and a poor direction to go on your part. Also besides the obvious huge dead bug infested areas there are many more weeds in the lawn than when i started service with ELPS ! Again please be aware people are not stupid, my pictures show the problem, total neglect not on my part but obviously yours ELPS !!! The right thing to do is to refund me all the money i have unfortunately wasted by using ELPS. p.s. I'm certainly sure i will have a much better lawn with the new lawn service that i have chosen to replace EPLS. Sadly, Scott Hunt

Matt always takes the time to answer any questions I have. He is very knowledgeable in all areas of lawn care. I appreciate his suggestions!

We switched to EPLS after not seeing any progress with our lawn from another provider. Within two weeks our lawn was dark green and finally growing! The other company spent over a year on our lawn and it was yellow and we barely had to cut it because it didn't grow. Our technician, Shannon, is fantastic. He always knocks on the door to give us an update and recommendations on what we can do over the next month. Their pricing is fantastic, too. We are paying less than we used to and are getting better service for that lower price. I highly recommend EPLS for your lawncare!

I am so pleased with the service I received today! I called and immediately got a response! Mr. Roí Levin asked me to send pictures so he could assess my lawn immediately to see how we would proceed forward. His response was immediate. His plan of action was immediate. I have not gotten better service anywhere, ever! Completely floored at how professional, knowledgeable and responsive he is! Thank you so much for all your help!!!

We have used EPLS for over 10+ years! We love them for anything that has to do with pest, shrub and grass control. They are honest, clean, fair, prompt and family at this point. You will never find another company as perfect in the Orlando area!! I don’t know what we would do without Jason and Roi!! J&S

TJ Blake came to give estimate for lawn service. He was very kind and professional. He answered my questions and helped me understand things I was not sure about. I felt very pleased in my selection of lawn care service EPLS. The next day TJ Blake was back to do the first treatment. Again he answered my questions and walked around the yard pointing out examples of sod worm damage and various weeds that do appear in my lawn. I do give a FIVE star to Mr Blake and the services provided by EPLS and look forward to building a business relationship that I can know and trust.

Jeff is my technician and has been for years! I literally watched him track down a series of ghost ant colonies to my garage and begin the process of getting rid of them! Outstanding work!

Great service!

*** UPDATE *** Roi paid me a visit, I appreciate his desire to promptly address my concerns and meet me at my convenience. This talks greatly about his commitment to EPLS and his customers. As perceptions are reality until facts talk, Roi and I put our frustrations to rest, and continue our relationship with a renewed understanding and expectations to both. Nothing that a phone call can’t handle it from now on. Thank you Roi! I have been using EPLS for many years, this is my second property that I continue to use them and unfortunately I see the evolution from a great service company to a corporate platform. Used to be customized plans, not anymore. Now they tell you when to their convenience, single minded approach, textbook recommendations and visit reports that seem to be pre-written paragraphs unrelated to history and conversations. Find more arguments of why they can’t help than even what they do great. Figure because they care about to manage their cost and profit than lawns now. Have to take it upon my self to keep a nice lawn, and manage “untreatable” weeds, while paying to get a report pointing to not only the obvious, but what has been discussed already with them.

Roi and team are incomparable. His employees are as him enthusiastic about helping and getting the job done. Reluctant as I was to spend the money , EPLS service snd Roi’s knowledge proved to produce a beautiful lawn and yard in excellent condition and one we had never had before.

Christian is very professional and respectful to my yard and me as the home owner. He is very attentive to solve any issues that comes along with my yard. Thank you and keep up the great hard work!! Thx P

Matt at EPLS is awesome! I contracted with at least 4 to 5 different lawn service companies over the past 5 years with no success of eradicating the weeds taking over my lawn, along with dead patches. So, I asked a neighbor whose lawn always looked beautiful who he uses, and he said EPLS. So, I signed up with Matt at EPLS about 6 months ago, and I can't believe my eyes. After 5 years of looking at weeds and dead spots and thinking I need to replace it all, I'm instead looking out my kitchen window and loving my beautiful green lush zoysia lawn. So happy. Thanks Matt!

I have been a EPLS customer for almost 4+ years after installing a new St Augustine lawn. EPLS was suggested by the installer. Christopher has been my technician since the start. He is fantastic...explaining what the applications are and recommendations on keeping the lawn at its best. Chris certainly knows his trade! I would not want anyone but Chris. I hope management is aware of his value to his company! Chris keep on keepin on!

I've been really happy with EPLS. Steve is professional, punctual, and takes pride in the work. Communication is great, and our lawn has never looked better. Highly recommend!

EPLS is the best lawn care service. They are incredibly gracious and generous with their services. Christian lets us know before he comes to the property, answers any questions we may have, sends photos of their work, and then provides advice/tips for the next visit. He even came out 1 extra time for help with the new sod.

This company is very professional and they do take care of our lawn.

EPLS provides outstanding pest and lawn services! I've been consistently impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to keeping my property healthy and beautiful. A special shout-out to Matt (AKA Mr. Mango)! Matt is an absolute pleasure to work with. His expertise is evident, and he always takes the time to explain treatments and answer any questions I have. He's incredibly friendly, personable, and truly cares about his customers. It's clear that Matt is a valuable asset to EPLS, and his positive attitude and commitment to excellent service make all the difference.

EPLS is the best! Matt Thomas has been taking care of our yard now for several years and it has never looked better. We love his attention to detail. He truly cares and will go the extra mile to keep your yard looking great!
