  I can't speak higher about Lawn Doctor. The customer service is beyond exceptional - Sue and Amanda are so friendly and helpful, the technicians are amazing and efficient, and my lawn has never looked better. I would recommend Lawn Doctor to anyone with a pulse. Craig is the best person and loves what he does, it shows by how much he cares. I didn't expect to get such great service at such a reasonable price.

  A complete nightmare. Do not waste your money on this company. I rarely leave reviews like this, but I am absolutely infuriated by how much money and time I have wasted on this Kingston franchise. I tried so hard to give them the benefit of the doubt, stuck it out, and genuinely tried to make it work, but it was an absolute disaster from start to finish. The lack of consistency here is astounding. Their staff is clearly limited, and you never know who is going to show up on your property. While a rare few of their technicians were polite and knowledgeable, the vast majority of them were incredibly rude, lazy, and completely unknowledgeable about basic lawn care. Multiple times, I watched them treat my yard like a race—zipping around in one or two incredibly fast, careless passes and leaving huge patches completely untouched. Because of this sloppy work, their pest management was entirely ineffective and a complete waste of money. To make matters worse, whatever low-grade grass seed they used on my lawn ended up producing an absolute explosion of weeds instead of actual grass. My yard looks significantly worse now than before I hired them. Their scheduling and communication are completely broken. They are so inconsistent that they can't even tell you what day or time they plan to show up on your property. When you call the local office to try to sort out their mess, the customer service is dismissive, unresponsive, and condescending. Other customers have noted online that if you call to resolve a botched application, the office staff will either completely ignore your requests or treat you with utter disrespect. I even found out that a manager here previously had to admit to a customer that their own technicians were treating properties wrong and actively ruining the grass! They charge premium, extortionate prices for terrible communication and destructive results. Save yourself the massive headache, the anger, and the money. I finally gave up on them, switched to an online lawn care program, and got vastly superior, healthy organic results on my own than what this "professional" company ever managed to do. Avoid them at all costs.

  Service is timely and high quality - no more weeds. Even better, Amanda in the office answers all my questions and is a pleasure over the phone and on email.

  We hired Lawn Doctor for my parents, who are in their 80s, and after four services, the lawn looked worse than it did before they started. During each visit, someone was home and witnessed the technician make only one quick pass around the property before leaving. After the third visit, I complained and explicitly asked that they not return to the property. Despite this, another technician showed up and again made only two quick passes before leaving. Shortly after, we received an outrageous bill for over $400. At no point did an owner or supervisor come to the property, and if one did, I was never informed. To make matters worse, my calls have not been returned, and the owner will only communicate with my landscapers, as he handled this separately with them on the side. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially given the age of my parents and the lack of professionalism and accountability shown throughout the process. I would not recommend this company. This might be the second time I have ever posted a review that’s how bad this company is and I hope no one has to experience what my parents did after hiring lawn doctor in Kingston.

  The weeds were rampant in both my front and back yard even with pre and post emergent weed control. The worst were prostrate knotweed- looks like a flat green doily. They took over most of the yard. Same thing happened when I contracted with True Green. I had to literally pull these weeds myself to get rid of them-temporally as they always came back. Not happy with the weed control. Also, Lawn Dr. does not offer a "dethatch" service. I had to hire another landscaper to do this process, and I was told it was better to bag grass clippings and not to mulch, which I will do in the future.
