Or Are You Throwing Your Money Away?
A lawn care company doing business from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins is boasting about its new product. Mile Hi Services says Liquid Lawn Aeration produces amazing results and everyone who's tried it loves it.
With the help of hidden cameras and a testing lab 11 News has found it may not live up to its claims. Posted: 10:00 PM May 21, 2008Reporter: Betty Sexton Email Address: BSexton@kktv.com |

Claudia, you should contact your cc company and dispute the charges. Sounds like Mile Hi is not going to work with you.

Mile Hi is a rip off con artist Look at their ratings with the BBB in Denver. They have hundreds of unresolved complaints! They are thieves that hire homeless people to pass out flyers and they don't pay the people that so the work...no insurance protect yourselves. These jerks should be in jail.

Good luck getting them to honor their guarantee or having them call you back. they have their money and that's all they care about. Great story and information, wish I had seen it a couple weeks ago. I hope this airs in the Denver area too!

Saw LazyMan Liquid Aerator on Desperate Landscapes & looked up online. 1 report of person in Seattle area that found area treated with product drained better than rest of yard when suffered heavy flooding over their entire property. Was the only report I could find, weeks ago. Rick's Garden Center says liquid aerators not really worth much as aeration and have better fertilizer (?) product when asked about liquid aerators.

We engaged Mile Hi to aerate our yard and paid by credit card and since then the only thing in our yard to indicate they had done anything was their sign. Our lawn is less green than others in our neighborhood that were not aerated at all. My question is this, is there any way possible to get the remainder of our money back since we bought the full 5 applications for $340 rather than the $79 since we are attempting to sell our home and wanted the lawn to look good. Do you have a number we can reach the company at to cancel the rest of this farcical, bogus treatment?

I wish I had seen this earlier, they came out this past Monday 5/19 to "liquid aerate". I plan on calling the company to come back and use the traditional machines!!!
