  Ever since using Lawn Doctor, our lawn has done well. There is always the same people there to answer the phone with my questions and if weeds ever did pop up, they are quick to get back out and get it taken care of. Prices are fair and techs are super professional and knowledgeable! Trust me go with Lawn Doctor!!

  Do not use this franchise. I chose not to do business with them any more due to poor service / weeds growing in my yard. I chose not to sign up for their yearly service. They then sent me bills for 2 months when I had no contract with them and didn't want the service. When I called them and told them to stop coming out and to not bill me for services I had not agreed to, they send me to a debt collector.

  We've used Lawn Doctor for over 10 years. Great provider. They keep our grass green in spite of large trees in the front yard. Thank you!

  I have the best green lawn on the block! Great communication ad service. Rear yard was horrible with weeds across the entire middle of the lawn. I added some Total Landscape compost and let Lawn Doctor do the rest and it came back together nicely.

  My lawn looked great the first year I used them. Just needed regular weed control, and they were affordable so I went with them. After my late summer application in 2024, 90% of my back yard was dead within days, and there were uniform and defined spray lines where herbicide was applied. I am a reasonable person who manages a company in the home services industry where I hire and manage people to work in and around people’s homes, so I understand mistakes happen. I emailed in and asked for a manager to come out and evaluate the issue and Shawn came out. He told me that it was army worm, or maybe heat drought. It was pretty clear that he was looking for anything to blame besides the application. When I questioned him about the product they used and the labeling restrictions of not applying said product in 90+ degree temperatures, he refused to acknowledge that could have been the cause. The perimeter grass was still perfectly healthy at this point, and weeds were still growing in the green areas around the perimeter where the technician obviously did not treat. After another manager from the branch called me to follow up, I asked him to go out for a site visit and call me before doing anything corrective to let me know what the problem was. On the day he came out, he never called me but my wife called me to say that he was in the backyard putting something down. I spoke to him the next day and he doubled down that it was army worm and would be dead for a while, but should come back green in the spring. He also denied liability and would not accept any fault or offer any reasonable explanation. I contacted department of ag and a field agent came and confirmed that the damage was not army worm or heat stress, and also issued violations to the company for incorrect documentation of their applications and failure to provide accurate treatment records from service. During the next several weeks and throughout the winter, I’ve watched new patches of a different species of grass growing in the exact same areas where the manager was in my yard putting something down, and the new grass is obviously different than what has been there for the 3 years prior to the incident. I suspect that they knew they killed my yard and seeded with a wild Bermuda grass to cover their tracks. I had the property evaluated by a couple of my colleagues who work directly with landscape and ornamental vendors, as well as the department of ag handling lawn claims in Florida. Both confirmed this was textbook herbicide damage, yet I could never get Lawn Doctor to own up to their mistakes. As I said before, accidents happen in this industry, sometimes people make bad hires and all technicians can make mistakes. What makes a company worthy of doing business with is honesty and integrity, but unfortunately this company fails at both.
