The seeds grow fast. The instruction they give is good. The only downside is the cost.

Normally, I have been very please with the service. I only had the core aeration service. Normally the owner or his sons did the work. There was a "hired hand" this recent time who did the work. He constantly stalled the machine and did not have a a sense of procedure as to manipulating the machine. When I asked him to make sure he do alternate passes i.e. North - South then East - West, he with VERY poor english said to "talk to driver". The driver directed him what to do and took off to another job leaving him to hopefully perform my request. This worker butchered my prized sod in the front. He tore up pieces of sod like you would peel up a carpet. I checked Yes to hire again if the sod recovers next growing season. I did call and talk to the owner about this. He never came to my house to see the damage. If the sod recovers, I would hire again. Otherwise, I'll seek another.

We got estimates and they came out based on satellite photos. They had one treatment. We had a change of plans, so we canceled services. They were very cooperative. It was fine, for what little we saw and what experience we had. The price was no problem.
Description of Work: They did weed spraying and a grass feeding combo.

I get the mosquito spray from Lawn Doctor. Fine, in fact I can't complain they came back and sprayed again. No extra charge. I think its listed near Bearmont. It's listed as, the address on the bill, it has an email address, they have a 516 number, it doesn't list their address. Check out Lawn Doctor, Ameri Bearmont, I get an invoice from them. Its like $89 a spray or something like that. They come in 4 times during summer, they were here a couple weeks ago. I give them a B Overall. I give them an A for price, they are comparable, they aren't more expensive then anyone else. I give them a A for quality there's no mosquitoes around. I give an A for responsiveness. When I called them to complain they called me back to me pretty quickly. I give them an A for Punctuality, they are here when they say they will be here. We get an email saying they will be here and they show up that day. A for Professionalism, I have no problem with them. Yeah this is the second year I've used them so I would use them again. They are professionally, their pricing is fair, and they do a decent job. One person came out. I don't think it took them more then 20 minutes, I wasn't here, I was here once before and they did it, a truck pulls up. They came by and sprayed there was no mess.

Response from Lawn Doctor
We explained to [Member Name Removed] when we took over his home service that he'[Member Information Removed] got an extremely shady property with many large trees. This makes it difficult to keep the lawn thick, and once it thins, weeds invade. We're sorry that Mr. [Member Name Removed] is unhappy with the service. But it is important to note he continues to use us to service his office and has been a client for more than 5 years.

We signed up early this summer for mosquito control. The agreement between Lawn Doctor and us was 3 treatments, one prior to Memorial Day, one midsummer and one just prior to Labor Day. We had to essentially beg to have the first treatment done on time. They were going to spray AFTER Memorial day weekend, which was useless, and went against their agreement. After a number of phone calls, they finally showed up and sprayed around 3 hours before our first guests arrived. The midsummer spray was fine. For Labor day, we had the same situation as Memorial day. However, when we called the Thursday before Labor Day, this time Lawn Doctor did not budge. They absolutely were not going to spray until after Labor Day, which again, was useless as the entire reason we signed up with this service was so that we could use our yard to entertain without mosquitoes--so spraying after our guests left was not going to help. After a number of emails, Facebook posts and phone calls, the owner, Ted, agreed to terminate the service and refund us our balance of approximately $70.00. The refund was supposed to take "around a month." We called to follow up this morning, and the owner has stated that he refuses to refund us. And to top it off, the owner is extremely rude. We would highly recommend that you avoid this service and go with another vendor.

Response from Lawn Doctor
The customer requested three services, and specifically mentioned they wanted the first service before memorial day, which was done the Friday of memorial day weekend. What the customer failed to recognize was that weather plays a factor, and when Long Island was in a sustained 90 degree heat wave (2016 had more than 41 days in the 90s, vs. 5-10 traditionally), it unfortunately impacts the timing of our services and our ability to treat the property as treating in these temps can cause damage to the lawn and landscape. We tried to explain that to the customer, but he was unwilling to understand or have any kind of constructive conversation. He prefers to yell, scream and threaten rather than work through something in a constructive manner. As for the refund, we discounted his initial price for the customer and they agreed to pay in full. Our cancellation policy clearly states that discounted prices are non-refundable, however, we agreed to make an exception and refund his money due to his confrontational approach and demeanor. To summarize, the client had two services, one on 5/27 and the second on 6/30, both before the weekend holidays, not 10/24 as the customer indicates. Further, the customer was not willing to discuss things like an adult, but rather feels that screaming and yelling and threatening with social media is a better way to get things done. We've all dealt with individuals like this and it's impossible to meet common ground with someone who is unreasonable and only is concerned with stomping their feet and getting what they want. We tried very hard to accommodate them and in the end, despite a written refund policy stating he was not entitled to a refund, we agreed to return their money. We are a market leader in this category, and have a large following due to our customer service and our fair pricing. We service more than 500 homes and have many other very positive reviews, but unfortunately, it's clear you cannot please every single person. Mr. [Member Name Removed] feels its most appropriate to damage a local business than to try and work out a comprised solution to any problem. I wish him luck with his next service provider.
