  Wow—what a transformation! We couldn’t be happier with our backyard project. The before-and-after pictures speak for themselves—the new retaining wall is absolutely stunning! From our very first meeting with Tim, we knew Peter Doran Lawn and Landscaping was the right choice. Tanner and his crew were fantastic to work with—professional, efficient, and clearly dedicated to quality craftsmanship. We’re so thrilled with how our wall and patio turned out that we’ve already scheduled them to redo our front steps and sidewalk this June! We highly recommend Peter Doran Lawn and Landscaping to anyone looking for top-notch hardscape work.

  Horrible experience with them I asked for a one time edging for my lawn and got a really poor result, and in many spots they just completely skipped over and never touched it. They did come back out again to finish up the spots they missed, but again the same results. They argued with me that this professional quality work and that they don’t see the issue after providing them with these photos. They stopped responding to my emails after the second time and only contacted me back for due payments. Just an overall bad experience. I wouldn’t suggest them to anyone looking for even a decent landscaping job.

  Very disappointed with Peter Doran’s snow removal services. We’ve used them for 2 years and this second year has been an awful experience. The last 3 times it’s snowed over an inch, they have either forgotten to come to our house or only partially plowed our driveway. This morning I had to shovel a foot of snow off my driveway so we could take our daughter to daycare on time. I got no notice that they wouldn’t clear the snow and had to email them to get any update. Their support team seems to only use email communication; I’ve never actually been able to reach a human over the phone. Our neighbor, who also uses Peter Doran for snow removal, is equally frustrated with them after having some of the same issues. Neither of us are planning on using this company in the future.

  I used Peter Doran in fall 2024 to trim our hedges. The work itself was fine, but there was zero communication about when they would arrive. Because of that, we chose a different company for 2025—which did an amazing job and communicated clearly. Fast forward to fall 2025: a worker from Peter Doran showed up unexpectedly to trim our hedges. We received no communication whatsoever that they were coming. Our Ring camera shows the worker was on-site for less than one hour, yet we were billed for two hours of labor plus a haul‑away fee. To be fair, I agreed to pay for the one hour of labor and tax, and I marked the check as “Paid in Full.” Now I am being contacted again for the remaining haul‑away fee. Given that the worker was only here for under an hour, it’s unclear how there was enough debris to justify that charge. Another important note: Peter Doran uses a “GREEN contract,” which automatically renews indefinitely unless you cancel it. This was not clearly communicated to us. Based on my experience, I would not recommend signing anything with Peter Doran, and I will not be using them again.

  I had Peter Doran Lawn Services for weekly mowing for nearly three years, and throughout that time I felt like I had to constantly babysit their work. A few recurring issues included excessive grass clippings left all over the yard, which ultimately led to dead, patchy, and unsightly areas. Instead of mowing twice when needed, the explanation I always received was that “it’s good for the grass,” even though the results clearly showed otherwise. I also have a double-door gate that must be properly secured after service. It took nearly an entire year of repeated requests before it was finally added to my service notes and consistently followed by the technicians. In addition to mowing, I subscribed to their weed-control services. Technicians were supposed to treat weeds in the rock beds, yet they often couldn’t distinguish between actual weeds and plants—leading to several plants being sprayed or damaged. Despite these ongoing concerns, I continued giving them opportunities to improve—until the incident in October that ultimately ruined my yard. They chose to mow during active rainfall, and their riding mower tore up large sections of my lawn. Their solution was to send someone out to throw seed on the damaged areas, but as anyone knows, overseeding in late fall will not take hold and does nothing to repair the damage. If you value your peace of mind and expect consistent, quality lawn care, I strongly recommend choosing another company.
