We weren't pleased with our previous lawn care company so we decided to go with Dr Green and glad we did. Great service by friendly staff and cheaper in price too.
We noticed a big improvement in our lawn using Dr. Green services. Much better than the lawn care companies we used previous years. We appreciate the affordability and reliability.
I've had a couple lawn companies to help with my property over the years, Dr. Green is my favorite now. We went with the Ultimate package and it was worth every penny.
I have noticed Our neighbors yard always looking so good and she said she has been using Dr Green. So we thought we would try it and we love the service and how our yard is looking.
These guys are professionals and the cheapest deal in town. My yard has taken a complete transformation. I just wish I didn't wait so long. I will definitely be using them every year now.

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!
