I have been a homeowner for thirty-eight years and have tried so many other lawn-care services,…read moreonly to go back to fertilization myself, but I always needed to hire someone to aerate the lawn. COVID put the person I always used in the past, so I searched for someone new. When Thomas came out, he listened to me and explained why I didn't need that service. He explained how each clump of blades is an individual plant, taking tens of thousands of plants to make up my yard. We even discussed where Bermuda grass was slowly taking over in one area of the yard. Because of his knowledge and how he explained things, I decided to give him a chance to do what he suggested. Power seed and fertilize, followed by a fertilization and soil treatment one month later. For the price, I thought if it worked, it was a good value, and if it didn't, I would find someone to aerate in the fall. I can not be happier. The Bermuda grass area has shrunk over ninety percent in three months. The lawn is thicker than I ever had it in the past, and I will admit greener than I would get, and I took pride in how green my grass stayed. The long stretch is what I call the dog run. My eighty-pound German Shepherd and I run up and back along this stretch of grass during two daily play sessions (morning and afternoon). The other photo is a patch of grass with minimal traffic unless we have a party with kids. Ginger is trained not to tinkle on any of the grass;) I say in closing, in a light-spirited manner, give Thomas a call because the grass is greener, thicker, and healthier on my side of the fence neighbor:).

Working with Lawn Doctor has been a godsend. They took my lawn from a 4 to a 10 in a matter of…read moremonths. I get compliments on how beautiful my lawn looks all of the time. I honestly have the healthiest lawn on the block, which can be difficult to accomplish in sunny San Diego! This is all due to my hiring Lawn Doctor for routine lawn service. They are a pleasure to work with, as well. They always notify me that they'll be servicing my lawn, and you can have an auto pay profile set up, or you can easily pay them online after the service. This is a simple, affordable, and effective way to have a beautiful lawn that all of your neighbors will be jealous of! ;) A big thanks to Lawn Doctor and their expertise!

I contacted this company after reading positive Yelp reviews and scheduled an estimate. He came to…read moremy home, looked at both my front and back yard, agreed to take on the maintenance, and told me he would start the following Thursday. He also said he would call me on Wednesday with the arrival time. Unfortunately, I never received the promised phone call, and Thursday came and went with no communication and no one showed up. I reached out to ask what happened, but by then I had already been left waiting. Things happen, and schedules can change, but a simple phone call or text would have been the professional thing to do. Ghosting a new customer after committing to a job is disappointing and wasted my time. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company because reliability and communication are important qualities in any service business.

Noe Pablo was the most thorough in messaging through the Yelp app, so my husband and I chose him. I had 2 medium-sized fruit trees I needed to transfer from my parent's home in Southeast San Diego to mine in North County. I took pictures and he gave us a very reasonable price. We also decided to also add another service to take out our palm tree. There were a couple of mishaps such as: The day he was scheduled to take out the palm tree, he was a no-show and my husband had to call him an hour after he was supposed to arrive. Then, the day after that incident, was the fruit tree transfer. He and his team forgot to bring their dolly. Thank goodness my Dad had one so they borrowed it, but now we have the burden in taking it back. Despite these mishaps, Noe was very knowledgeable and professional in his mannerisms. The day of the fruit tree transfer, he and his team arrived in a timely manner, was efficient and did a great job overall. We were very pleased and will definitely use him again if we have another project.

Paublo and his team did a great job. We look forward to having them back to plant sone fruit trees.read more

Leo responded to my inquiry regarding the wooden fence/gate at the front of my house via Yelp App…read more He provided a free estimate pretty promptly, but also confirmed in person. His rates were twice as low than the other competitors. He even offered to stain the wooden fence (additional fee, not bad), whereas other vendors stated it wasn't included. His team (Sal, I believe) was nice and completed the job. They demolished the old wooden fence and built a whole new one. Waited 3 weeks to stain the wooden fence per protocol, which was perfect. We are very happy with our fence! Much better than our previous one!

After accepting the estimate, he and his crew started the next day. The yard needed a good clean-up, including the removal or trimming of some small trees/bushes along with some other plants.

He kept me informed throughout the project and provided receipts for the DG, along with the additive we decided to add to the DG. I'm very pleased with the end result. I will definitely use Lara Landscaping again and would recommend them to family and friends.
