Lawn Doctor

At first you won't get bombarded with work starting out especially later im the season however once you get things down and are confident you will get up to 34+ houses to do within 7 hours expected to spend no less than 7 minutes a house unless doing senior developments expected was no less than 5 minutes due to customer complaints of not spending enough time on property, it may sound easy but trust me its harder than it sounds given what your body can take, you will definitely learn a lot everyone is more than happy to teach anything and help with anything you don't understand everyone is super friendly and very understanding, management is good lacking a little but definitely better than a lot of places and I wouldn't say its its toxic, the most enjoyable part of the job for me personally I love being outside plus they had multiple days the refer to as "fun days" where if they are up in numbers and have time to spare they take a day to have some down time taking employees out for fun activities and out to dinner and giving gift cards out aswell, even randomly on rain days they would do some maintenance and say let's go get lunch or order food for everyone and sit around and just chat with I really enjoyed the down time with everyone and getting to know them all! (One more thing they added a new system so if you go over the new qouta you get added bonuses added to your paycheck by the end of the week based on how much sqft you get done by the end of each day I don't remember the numbers but it was definitely something to look forward to)

The working conditions at Lawn Doctor exemplify a troubling employment environment characterized by poor management and outdated equipment. The egotistical nature of the owner fosters an atmosphere of disrespect, which significantly impacts employee morale and productivity. Such leadership dynamics can lead to high turnover rates and diminish overall job satisfaction. Employees often find themselves disheartened by the lack of support from management, creating a workplace where motivation is difficult to sustain.

Furthermore, the equipment utilized at Lawn Doctor is alarmingly outdated and frequently unusable. This poses significant challenges for employees who are expected to perform their duties effectively without adequate tools. The requirement to hand-load hundreds of pounds of fertilizer each morning without assistance not only exacerbates physical strain but also highlights a neglect for worker safety and well-being  Such practices are counterproductive in any business setting, as they hinder efficiency and employee satisfaction.

In conclusion, based on my experience, I would not recommend working at Lawn Doctor due to its toxic work culture and inadequate resources. A supportive work environment is essential for fostering employee engagement and productivity; unfortunately, this establishment fails to provide.

As an employee at Lawn Doctor, I can honestly say that this company feels like a second home to me. From day one, I was welcomed into a supportive and family-oriented environment that truly values each team member. The culture here is built on mutual respect—when you show respect for the team and the work we do, you are met with the same kindness and understanding in return.

One of the things I appreciate most about working at Lawn Doctor is how approachable and easy to talk to everyone is. Our management team is always ready to listen and support us, fostering an open dialogue that makes it easy to share ideas or concerns. While we strive for excellence, there are times when mistakes happen, but rather than creating an atmosphere of stress, the team encourages us to view these moments as opportunities for growth. They work with you one-on-one to help resolve any issues and ensure you feel confident moving forward.

The sense of community here is palpable, and it’s clear that Lawn Doctor is not just a workplace; it’s a loving family that genuinely cares for its employees. I’m proud to be part of a team that embodies these values and works together to create beautiful lawns for our clients. If you’re considering joining Lawn Doctor, know that you’ll be stepping into a nurturing environment that prioritizes both personal and professional growth. Highly recommend!

The best part for me was the ability to grow both personally and professional. It is a great place to figure out what your goals are and what things you can do to work towards attaining them. Starting this position early in my professional career was a great decision and has allowed me to grow with the company as it expands.

The company allows you to be independent and manage your day to day duties in the way that works best for you. I really like that they do not automatically micro-manage and allow creativity and innovation. The people at LD are very supportive and want everyone to do well and contribute to it's success which makes for a fulfilling professional life. 

The company's family roots are really reflected through its culture. As all workplaces, there are both good and tough days but being comfortable with where and who you work with provides the support and guidance needed to overcome challenges.

Your typical day would start off with you showing up at 7:15-7:30(preferably). You clock in, grab your paper work 
Next you add up the square footage of the yards you have that day. And you find out how many bags of fertilizer you need for that day from that. 
Then you load up your van with fertilizer and fill the water tank. After you complete that you head to your first lawn or gas station as needed.
You do your lawns at a safe speed and try to complete all the lawns you have for that day. If any of the customers have a question you answer in a respectful and professional manner.
Call the office if any issues shall arrive.
Take lunch when you want. And when you finish head back to the warehouse and load your machine back into the warehouse. Put the top of the paper work in the basket and clock out 


a typical day included coming into the office and preparing for the work needed, communicating with the other individuals in the office as to what needed to be done. answering multiple phone lines and assisting customers with inquiries about the services/ products or concerns about their services. filing cutomers data/inquiries. the office manager and wife of the owner worked in the office and i loved working with them. they made the day go by quickly and ensured i learned every aspect of the office job. the owner was a hard one to deal with on my end, i felt as if i wasnt really up to his standards, but i did the best i could to maintain a good work environment. i enjoyed learning new things about the job including entering the customers data into the computer and interacting with the customers over the phone.

I really appreciated that the owner was always available to coach and teach new things.  He was was always flexible with scheduling if I had any personal conflict.  I always felt like he cared about me not just for what I produced at work but also about my life and career development.  It was definitely a great place to work.  All the vans and equipment are better than anything I've seen with any of the competitors.  For anyone who is a self starter and wants to be rewarded with a higher pay for getting work done and not just an hourly rate, the bonus pay works out in your favor.  Only reason I left is that I moved to back home closer to family and friends.

I am in charge of producing production/ sales/ marketing/ new customers for my employees. I have learned that personal customer contact is very importantant to achieve company growth. The most difficult part of my employment is getting through to customers: follow my dirrections to plant the product , water and care for as I have directed/ bring your receipt for returns. There is nothing I like more than helping my associattes as well as learning from my associates and thus helping our customers. Providing advice and knowledge I have learned over the 22 yrs in the green industry and as being a manger AND as being a understudy, learning from my mangement team member.
