I would do a zero star if I could. After the first time the worker made my wife feel uncomfortable by what he was saying to her. When I called to cancel my services they still came out and kept charging me. Extremely unprofessional. Do not trust their workers around your kids or wives. Don’t sign up because you can not cancel any services, they’ll go to your house when your at work and charge you. Stay away

Our neighbors think "the grass is greener on our side of the fence."
Description of Work: Lawn Doctor has been providing lawn service for about 7 years now. My husband was happy to turn over all of the weeding and feeding of our lawn! When we needed a new area started after getting a new septic system, they came out and got it done even though it was past their usual time cut off. It looks great!

Lawn looks so much better. They leave a hanger on the front door that describes the service that they did.
Description of Work: They come all summer and treat for weeds and put down fertilizer. They also did a seeding. My lawn was looking much better and my neighbors were telling me how good it looked. I then got a mole making tunnels and then piles of dirt all over my front lawn. They came and put down some kind of oil that they don't like. I haven't seen any new tunnels but I don't know for sure that it's gone.

Our franchise location does not service any lawns in the Carroll County, MD area. We believe this review was directed to us in error.

I would not use them again in future. They burned their bridge with me. Everything they did was terrible. They didn't communicate. Everything was terrible-everything about the experience; the quality of their service and their punctuality. They were always trying to charge me more. They never did what they said they were going to do. It was terrible. Now, I do it myself.
Description of Work: I used Lawn Doctor of South County. I had them in the spring and summer of last year. I had them for the whole season last year.

Called them for a quote, took them 9 days to get back to me when he just showed up at my door. He was expensive, but I was able to get the price down a little. Went to seed my yard the next day and realized that he never completed aerating the lawn. There was section of 12' in the back of the yard that wasn't aerated. I called him immediately and demanded they come back out and finish the job and now 7 days later, he has yet to show up. This is not acceptable. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!!! I will be telling everyone I know to stay away.
Description of Work: Had the lawn aerated.

I recommend against a company who would do this. They can say because I didn't contact them they were to continue service. That's a scurrilous business practice that needs to be condemned.
Description of Work: I didn't request service. They showed up one day and applied insecticide. They ran over and treated newly grown grass - it was pretty clear it was new grass but they went over it any way. The main thing was I DIDN'T CONTRACT WITH THEM THIS YEAR. I had them last year and decided against continuing. I even called them and left messages. They sent my bill to a collection agency. I paid their bill but said I would rip them here. They stink and there is no such thing as an open ended contract.

I have used their services for the past 2 years. The program that I purchased is called Turf Care. They come in February and spray for crab grass. They are flexible on their services, polite and accommodating. They are professional and respond to my questions.
Description of Work: I purchased a seasonal contract with them that includes fertilizing and pest control. I have 25,650 square feet of lawn that is treated.

THEY RUSH THROUGH THE JOB AND DID NOT USE ENOUGH PRODUCT ON THE LAWN. THE LAWN DOES NOT LOOK ANY BETTER THAN IT DID BEFORE IT WAS TREATED. I CALLED AND REQUESTED TREATMENT FOR A LAWN FUNGUS AND IT TOOK THEM TEN DAYS TO COME OUT, BY THEN THE FUNGUS WAS WIDESPREAD.
