Welcome to the Lawn Doctor family

Yes! We're a locally owned and operated Lawn Doctor franchise serving our community for nearly 40 years. We're backed by Lawn Doctor's national network while providing personalized local service.

No. As long as we have access to your property, we'll complete your application and leave detailed service information.

Weather permitting, our goal is to complete everyone's first application by early May. After that, visits are typically every 4–6 weeks depending on weather and your lawn's needs.

Most lawn programs include 5–6 visits throughout the growing season, with additional services available if your lawn needs them.

Most residential lawns take less than 15 minutes thanks to our specialized application equipment.

Yes. Your program automatically renews each season unless you let us know you'd like to make changes or cancel.

Aim for about 1–1½ inches of water per week, including rainfall. Water deeply and early in the morning whenever possible.

Mow at 2½–3 inches in the spring and fall, and 3–3½ inches during the summer. Never remove more than one-third of the grass blade in a single mowing.

Usually not. Short clippings naturally break down and return nutrients to your lawn. Only bag clippings if they're clumping or excessively long.

This is usually caused by mowing too short or using a dull mower blade. Keeping your mower blade sharp and mowing at the proper height will help prevent browning.

No. Moss is typically caused by shade, poor drainage, or soil conditions. It must be physically removed before the underlying issue can be corrected.

Yes. Once the application has completely dried, your lawn is safe for normal activity. We follow all state regulations and label directions.

Usually about 2 hours, or until the application has completely dried.

In most cases, yes. Rain typically does not reduce the effectiveness of our applications.

After every visit, we leave a detailed service summary explaining what was applied and any recommendations.

Absolutely. If you're not satisfied with your results, let us know. We'll inspect your lawn and work with you to make it right.

Yes. Existing customers on a full lawn program receive complimentary service calls for covered issues.

You'll typically notice improvements after the first few applications, with the biggest improvements occurring as the season progresses.

Most broadleaf weeds begin curling and dying within 7–10 days, depending on weather conditions.

No lawn care program provides 100% weed control. Our goal is continual improvement throughout the season, and we'll gladly inspect any persistent problem areas.

Every lawn has different soil, sunlight, drainage, watering habits, and mowing practices. We focus on helping your lawn reach its full potential.

Every lawn is different, and weather changes from year to year. If we identify a problem like grubs, fungus, or compacted soil, we'll recommend solutions — but the decision is always yours.

Most seed begins germinating within 5–7 weeks, depending on watering and weather. The biggest improvement is typically seen the following spring.

Yes. Consistent watering is the most important part of successful germination. We'll provide simple watering instructions after your service.

Please mark sprinkler heads, invisible dog fence lines, and any shallow utilities before we arrive.

Wait until the new grass reaches about 4 inches tall before mowing with a sharp blade.

Fall is the ideal time to seed. Spring seeding is possible but is generally less successful because of weed competition and summer heat.

Success depends largely on watering and aftercare. Customers who follow the recommended care instructions typically see excellent germination. If your lawn has extensive bare areas, our POW! Aeration & Seeding service provides even better establishment.

Grub prevention is typically applied during one of your summer applications between June and August.

Not necessarily. Moles feed on many insects and earthworms, not just grubs.

Yes. We treat ornamental trees and shrubs up to approximately 15 feet tall.

We offer organic fertilizer and an organic tick and mosquito program. At this time, we don't offer fully organic weed or insect control because the available products don't consistently provide the results we expect in the Northeast.

Both. We use whichever formulation provides the best results for the specific application.
