Vendor never responded to my inquiry. I went with a neighbor’s recommendation- not from Angie’s List. Pretty disappointed.

Please remove this review! Mr. [Member Name Removed] said he heard about us from a neighbor, and just came on here to give us a bad review. We have not done any work for this person, but would love to!

We started using them this year and after 3 applications our lawn has NEVER looked so good. You can tell that the roots are really tight and the lawn grows fast. I actually lowered the amount I watered to "normal" levels, in the past I had to water it every day or it would lose the lushness. Two of my neighbors now use them too. Thanks guys now I have competition :-)

Lost some of the lawn from the severe drought 2 summers ago. The guys applied a weed control to thin the weed patches out . 3 or 4 weeks later came back and power seeded. I had to follow the watering instructions and after a few weeks, You couldn't even tell where the patches were. Great work crew.

I have used Lawn Doctor of Kalamazoo-Portage for the past 2 years. I have them perform my annual lawn maintenance, which includes fertilization, weed control, and grub control. This past fall, I had them perform aeration and over-seeding. I simply cannot beat the price, even if I did it myself. They always tell me when to raise and lower my mower blades as well.

It has only been a week since our first application and the results are nothing short of amazing. Just in the first week since the first treatment, most of the weeds in our yard are dead or dying and there is a ton of new grass coming in. Considering the awful state our yard was in at the beginning, the results we've seen in just one week are phenomenal! We can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings.
