About Us
Dr. Green was founded in 1985 by our dad, Lou, after he left his job at a vending machine company to pursue something he could build from the ground up. What started as a small, family-run lawn care service quickly became his passion—and eventually, our family’s calling. In 1992, our mom, Lorraine, joined the business full-time, bringing her own grit and warmth to the operation. Together, they turned Dr. Green into more than just a lawn care company—it became a family legacy rooted in hard work, personal service, and a whole lot of green thumbs.
The second generation is now at the helm, with siblings Lee and Raunie Ratcliffe leading the charge. Lee heads up our Calgary and Edmonton locations with a degree in Horticulture from the University of Guelph and over 25 years of experience in the field, while Raunie brings her finance background, innovation, and nearly two decades of lawn care expertise to our Ontario branch. Together, they’re continuing the legacy their parents started—one healthy lawn at a time.
Raised with the same strong work ethic, we’re all about adapting to the ever-changing climate and using the latest technology to keep your lawn looking its best. We love what we do, and we’re proud to offer personalized care and innovative solutions to ensure your lawn stays vibrant and healthy year-round. We’re excited to serve our neighbours and help make every lawn a little greener!

FAQs
How often does my lawn need to be serviced?
Our treatment plans are optimally designed to ensure you receive the right treatments at the right time of year based on your lawns needs. Typically services are provided every 4- 6 weeks.
I bought my package, what's next?
After you have purchased your desired program, you will receive a confirmation email that outlines your package and pricing information. Soon after, you will receive an email notification that our technician will be out on your property for your first scheduled visit. You are not required to be at home for the treatment, but we do ask that you unlock any gates to ensure our technicians have easy access to complete the service. Once each service is complete, you will receive an email outlining the services that were performed, as well as any instructions from the technician.
Do I need to mow my lawn before a service?
Yes! In order to maximize each application, it is best to have your lawn regularly cut at 2.5”. This allows for the fertilizer, seed and liquid aerate to reach the soil and gives way for the weed control to penetrate directly into the root system of the weed.
Do I need to water my lawn?
Yes, water is an essential component of a healthy lawn. In the spring and summer, we recommend watering at least 2 days a week (preferably 3 or 4). Our technicians will keep you up to date on specific watering instructions throughout the season and will always email watering instructions after each treatment.
Will my weeds be gone after one application?
Lawncare is a process and a partnership. With cutting and watering combined with our programs, it may take a few applications to get everything under control and promote healthy grass growth. If there are specific concerns you would like to focus on, we’re just a phone call away!
