Don’t use Lawn Doctor of Greater Columbus. The owner killed the entirety of our backyard when we hired them to kill fescue only. They are now claiming a misunderstanding and not knowing what kind of condition the yard was in. The owner walked our yard with my husband for a quote and after he killed our grass “accidentally” he blamed his health/stroke as to why he forgot what he was supposed to be doing at our house. If anyone ever kills your grass accidentally, demand it be replaced with sod if what they killed was sod. Don’t listen to their promises, sob stories and down right lies. So ick how these people have acted. Having their employees leave reviews telling customers how to act.

The first year went great! My lawn was left in bad shape from the previous owners and lawn doctor had it looming almost as good as anyone on the block’s by the end of the summer. The second summer however, the “forgot” to do my backyard twice, didn’t come nearly as often as the first summer, and my lawn looked worse than it did the year before with dead grass patches and weeds all over the place. I also had a bad experience with their lawnmower maintenance service. They brought my lawnmower back dirty, the pull start was blown out, and it didn’t seem to work any better than before the tuneup.

They only provide services to those who are signed up for the whole deal. No aeration if you're do the rest yourself.
Response from Lawn Doctor of Columbus and Central Ohio

"[Member Name Removed], our paying customers who have our full program are the foundation of our success. We need to cater to them above all. We do not advertise that we do stand alone advertising so an F rating is not justified in my opinion. We wish you all the best. Scott Cooper-Owner"

Very well. Scott did a very nice job and kept in contact as to when the weather would be good to do the aeration.

Completed. Was supposed to call prior to rendering service and didn't. Charged an additional $20 - not sure why. No explanation.

He gave us an estimate and after consideration we decided to wait until fall. Then we decided to move in the fall. His estimate was reasonable and we would likely have contracted with him if we had stayed.

It was $130 per application. It was terrible. They never were able to get rid of the weeds.
Response from Lawn Doctor of Columbus and Central Ohio

"Your lawn sits between 2 untreated lawns in the country and these lots have terrible weeds. Sitting between two large untreated lots is a challenge to control weeds for lawns between these high weed content lawns. Further, this was our first year working with you and your lawn had a very high percentage of weeds to start. There had been significant improvement from early in 2017. Sure there were still weeds and this is why we came out 4 times for free service calls. It is very common to have weeds for first year customers whose lawns are inundated with weeds when we start. Lastly, your lawn is quite thin and it takes time to get the weeds under control as there are so many weed seeds in the ground. We are sorry that you did not feel our service to be satisfactory and we professionally provided these 4 FREE service calls to you. If you would have given us more time I am sure things would have improved. Best regards, Scott Cooper-Owner"

I had been using another company for the past two and a half years. My lawn was in awful shape. Burned out sections from over fertilizing, dead grass from bugs, thin in spots, The lawn was not healthy and wasn't growing. I hired the Lawn Doctor in Aug 2017. They did a soil test, fertilization and recently power seeding/aeration. My lawn looks fantastic I followed their instructions and kept the lawn wet and mowed it at the suggested height. I am so pleased with their services...thank you, thank you and thank you!

We don't use them for landscaping, just lawn service. They do it in arrears to last. It's a monthly service.

Scheduling was a challenge, but persistence got us on the schedule. Once here they did the job as purchased and did a great job. They were friendly and on time, very professional.

Lawn has improved but additional work is needed and will take time to get it the way I want it.
Response from Lawn Doctor of Columbus and Central Ohio

"[Removed Member Name], thanks for the reply. As you noted, it will take some time to get the weeds under control. We are only able to spray broad leaf weeds that have germinated and are growing. There are no cost effective pre-emergent control for broad leaf weeds. The counts of weeds will continue to drop and by next spring. there will be very few weeds. We strive to make each lawn healthy and lush, the thicker the lawn, the fewer the weeds. Thanks again for the review."

They are awesome. She gave me a quote over the phone by looking from a satellite view of my yard. The image gives them the square feet, then they subtract the decking and the house, and then give you a price. You don't have to wait and they don't come out to your house. 
They are efficient and I could this tell by the way they were handling things. They talk to you every time they come and leave you a detailed note. They also have a newsletter every month on what they are seeing. They will tell you if they have found grubs at a neighbor's house and tell you what they did. 
I already re-upped my contract with them.

They did a great job of killing off the crabgrass, nutsedge, and other weeds that I had not been able to control with other treatments
