This is the second season I have used this company. Last year I was desperate after trying to hand dig my weeds; the weeds won. Called Lawn Doctor; they set me up with a program, started service immediately, always notified me of date and time of service, and left a notice of service and invoice if I was not home. They were willing to work with me on protecting areas I had recently seeded and also came back for a no charge second application when it appeared my weeds had ignored the first application of weed killer. In the fall they aerated the lawn. As part of this season's package I chose lawnmower service which was done in a timely manner as well as the first application of fertilizer and weed control. My ultimate goal is to get my lawn to a point where weed control will rarely be needed and fertilizer applied only when soil testing indicates the need. I have never been pushed to buy more service than I felt was needed. I have been pleased with Lawn Doctor and will readily recommend them to others.

Very polite, energetic, responsive and very easy to work with. They virtually saved my lawn that year. It had a terrible case of spider mites from the previously dry winter and now the lawn in green and healthy without weeds or pests.

Service was great. We had just moved into this house, and we had never used the sprinkler system before. Jason the lawn tech allowed me to shadow him as he activated all components of the system, explaining exactly how and why he was doing everything. Great service, would definitely recommend.
Description of Work: Lawn tech came out to activate the sprinkler system.

We have always been pleased with them. I think they are very reasonable but we get four applications a season but they offer other programs. They always call before they come out to let us know. They turn our bird feeder and watering bowls upside down. They are good about that. They call our renters before they go out to make sure that they had their dogs in and that sort of thing. And, anytime I have any questions, they have a local office and I can just call them. They are very responsive. When they say they are going to be out, they are out during the time frame that they indicated.
Description of Work: We use Lawn Doctor of Fort Collins for fertilizer and herbicide and that sort of thing for our home and for some rental properties.

I called the Lawn Doctor around the first of April to try to get an estimate about my yard and trees. I need a lot of yard care right now and did not have the energy or the expertise about trees to get it all done. When I called them they did not respond for a whole day. When they did respond no one could come for a week. We set an appointment and they arrived on time. I described to them what I was interested in having them do for my trees in terms of pruning and roots etc. I was informed that it was the wrong time of year to do any pruning, and that I was stuck with the tree roots unless i wanted to just have the tree cut down. The gentleman was an arborist and appeared to be very knowledgeable about trees, but was very arrogant and reticent to talk about pricing. When he would finally commit to quoting a price he reminded me that it was the wrong time of year for some things and if I insisted upon having the work done it would cost double that of having it done in the fall. Their yard service consisted of simply fertilization and was in the neighborhood of $200 for the year. Pruning and clean up came in at around $1200. I was trying to find out what things cost so that I could have some things done for me, and do others myself. They did not make it easy to find out what things would actually cost, and never committed to a firm price for anything except fertilization.
Description of Work: I have a mature landscape with mature trees. I am having problems with tree roots, and I need tree service to help with pruning. I also have two very old dogs, and they have the lawn a mess. I was interested in just how much it would cost to hire some help bringing things up to date around here. Up until now I have done my own work and that would include landscape, mowing, pruning, painting etc.

They are prompt. They always call me. I have a driveway that's peeling a little bit. When we shovel snow, we get rocks accumulating. They came out free of charge to remove those rocks, which I thought was really nice. They usually come out three or four times a year.
