I hired this service based on their Angie's List rating. They started quite early with the service, but many of the other treatments were late according to their own schedule, sometimes coming for a scheduled treatment only when prompted. Since this was my first experience with such a service, I can't really speak to how well or poorly theirs compared to other such services, but I can say that a side yard patch is completely overrun by broad-leaf growth, and the crabgrass didn't disappear until after their "late summer/early fall" treatment. I ended up treating it myself during the summer.

Today is mid May and I’ve been calling to get on the local Lawn Doctor schedule for seeding and aeration since mid March to no avail even though we paid in full for this years services on February 9th. We’ve received no treatments either. As of mid April, I’ve been calling to get a full refund since I am getting nowhere with services but Lawn Doctor does not call me back. My husband and I have reached out to corporate and they in turn have reached out to the local Lawn Doctor and the Regional Business Manager, to help. I reached out to the CEO of Lawn Doctor, and he in turn had a representative in Corporate Customer Service, get involved. I have still not heard a word from this guy and he still has almost $500 of our money. As mentioned and as their Call Center records should show (and supported by case / tickets auto generated to our email address and notes taken by corporate CSR), we’ve had zero response by the local Lawn Doctor. I’ve called no less than 3x a week since mid March. It looks like my only recourse is small claims court at this point.

I like them. I usually pay in the spring for all of the yearly service. I have been very satisfied with them. They are very professional. I have used them for several years.
Description of Work: They fertilize the lawn. They also do the aeration. Sometimes they do power seeding if that's necessary.

The results were amazing!! My lawn was out of control with weeds. After Lawn Doctor's 1st application, not only were the weeds eradicated, but my grass has grown in thicker.

We did a partial service program for [removed members name] in 2011. He had one basic service done in the spring of 2012 via a Groupon offer. We have done no work on this lawn since then.

I would highly recommend the services of lawn doctor. The pay as you go method works great for me and their personalized communication and explanation of services for every visit makes it feel like they actually care about you as a customer. In the first year of service I had a few questions on lawn care, and they were very quick to offer me a suggestion/solution. Our lawn has significantly improved in the first year and am looking forward to further improvement next year.
Description of Work: We utilize lawn doctor for lawn care throughout the year. We have also added a few extra services such as grub preventive.

After two treatments, our yard looks worse than when we initially called lawn doc. I don't believe they treated the entire yard, or if they did, their treatment is ineffective. Also, I specifically asked that our mulch bed along the front of our house be treated, and the tech's notes indicate he did however, the weeds are flourishing and show no sign of treatment 3 days later. I do not recommend this company.

Response from Lawn Doctor
We did treat the mulch bed, as the owner I have done the first 2 services on this lawn, and it was full of weeds when I started on it, and after only two treatments it is nearly weed free. I also did not charge this lady anything to treat the mulch beds, we simply touched up the weeds in them the best we could, which is all you can do, as you have to be very careful you do not hit and bushes or ground plantings. I always do simple request like this, and generally do not charge even though we normally charge additional for mulch bed treatments, as they are not included with a lawn care program. I am truly shocked by this review, I even told the technician who was with me how bad the lawn looked when I did the first service on it, and how well it looked last week. My reviews on this site speak for them selves, and honestly have no idea why this lady wrote this up. It is also lawn fungus time, which is why many lawns, no matter who is doing them, have brown spots in them... It's called brown patch fungus, which I left her information behind on.

Has done a decent job so far. Pricing was competitive. Had to check in to see when I got my next service as it seemed longer than it should. Weeds have been less but didn't get rid of everything.

After two years of great service and a very strong lawn, Lawn Doctor worked with us to develop a program that would work for us at below the normal recommendations to meet our needs. They are willing to work with us to meet our needs. Their service and products work well and our law looks great!. They have improved their responsiveness and immediate help with additional staff and I can say I would recommend them to anyone needing to have their lawn look better and get rid of weeds.

Description of Work: LAWN CARE

Response from Lawn Doctor
I spoke with this customer about his billing issue and let him know I had it under control. We had just switched to a new software program, and his pre-payment was keyed in wrong. I let him know I handle all of the billing and payments myself, and that I know what is going on and he need not worry about it. As far as his comment on his lawn about it looking worse than last year, I would have to disagree. His lawn did just fine, I spent a lot of extra time over the summer working on fighting out Johnson Grass, Paspalum, and Dallisgrass. These 3 grasses can not be prevented like Crabgrass can, and most of competitors do not even treat for them. We had great weather last year, and lawns did fine across the board. Other than the billing issue, which was a simple office error, I do not understand why this person has written a poor review. I learned many years ago to never take anything personal in this line of work, and had this lawn not done well, I would be the first to own it and admit it, but that was simply not the case.

Service has been consistent and lawn has steadily improved over the almost two years we have now had the service. Service is regular and billing is easy (bill is left on the door with indication of what materials were used and any special notes that I might need. Bill can be paid online of by mailing in check or credit card information. I have only had one or two questions over the service period and the questions have always been answered as I expected although it does seem to take longer than expected to get responses. But not too long.
Description of Work: Annual Service Contract for 6 applications of weed kill and fertilizer for lawns. This is the second year of the service and our yard looks very good.

The company is super responsive and fairly priced. I contacted the company via email and they used satellite maps to give me an estimate. I approved their estimate and they treated the lawn the next day. So far, the results are good. I have only had one treatment but all the weeds are dead and the grass is green. They come out every 4-6 weeks for a total of 6 treatments during the Spring and Summer.

Lawn was in poor condition when we moved into the house in April. Started with Lawn Doctors in May. (See previous review for initial communication issues). After the four services, all provided as intended and the fall power seeding and aerating service, our lawn is looking great as it gets ready for going dormant over the winter. (Our neighbor commented on how good our yard looked). Our back yard looks better than the front yard too. Extra services this fall were identified in advance and I was given the options of what I wanted. This company provides an invoice and envelope at each service and asks that a check be mailed in (or provide credit card). But there is no requirement for credit card on file or prepayment). This is a small company and they work hard at meeting the needs of their customers. They are sometimes slow at getting back to email inquiries, but I've always gotten the answers I need before it has cost me anything. Good company to do business with. (Cost noted above is regular price for the Fall services I requested. )
