LD has been great for my lawn. The office, Crystal, has always been helpful, cheerful and informative. The guys coming have been just as nice. Alex came today and did aeration and over seeding. He explained everything, asked great questions and finished promptly. I can’t wait to see how great my lawn can look next spring!

This morning before Felipe applied fertilizer to my lawn, I had a few questions pertaining to my lawn. He was very nice and was glad to answer all of my questions. He also sent me a service summary with a note that summarized what we had spoken about and exactly what I needed to do for my lawn. Felipe, thank you for taking good care of my lawn, for taking the time to answer my questions so thoroughly and for summarizing the care that I need to do for my lawn.

Love Lawn Doctor. The monthly week and fertilizer plan has eliminated bare spots, reduced brown patches and thwarted the many weeks. Well worth it. Btw, I added some sod.

Tracy Lee

We’ve lived in our current home for 15 years, and our lawn has always been green and healthy thanks to our own care. However, about 18 months ago, we started noticing the grass dying, with many dead roots and holes appearing throughout the yard. Concerned, we contacted Lawn Doctor for help. Lauren was amazing—she guided us through the entire process and asked us to send pictures and videos to assess the situation. After reviewing everything, they found active grubs in our lawn. Grubs are the larval stage of Japanese beetles, and they feed on the roots of turf grass, which can cause serious damage in a very short time. A week later, we received a text with our service date. Technician Wayne came out and did an excellent job with the first application. We’re already feeling hopeful and excited to see our lawn begin to recover. Thank you to Lauren, Wayne, and the Lawn Doctor team for your professionalism and support! Attached pictures are current yard conditions, I will upload results in few more months

Lawn Doctor has been very easy to work with and their treatments have been highly effective. My lawn has never been thicker or healthier. In fact I regularly get compliments on my lawn and envious neighbors have made the switch from their lawn care service to Lawn Doctor. Their lawn care pros are courteous and provide great feedback on how best to care for your lawn.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does Lawn Doctor of Boston schedule service?

Service visits are usually scheduled four to six weeks apart, with scheduling handled automatically.

Do customers need to be home or prepare the lawn?

Customers do not need to be home, but gates should be unlocked and yard entrances accessible. The grass should not be too long, and the lawn should be clear of debris.

How long should customers stay off the lawn after treatment?

Lawn Doctor recommends waiting 24 hours before normal lawn activity. It says this gives products time to settle or dry.

Does Lawn Doctor of Boston mow lawns or treat mulch beds?

No. It focuses on grass treatment rather than mowing, and its products are designed for turf use only, not mulch beds.

What does Lawn Doctor of Boston do if a Maintainer Care application falls short?

The franchise says it will reapply the application at no additional charge or refund the last application. The local franchisee decides which remedy applies.
