Lawn Doctor is a leading lawn care service provider founded in the mid-1960s in Matawan, New Jersey, by friends Bob Magda and Tony Giordano. Initially, a local hardware store owner, Tony began offering lawn care workshops due to the increasing demand from new homeowners in the area. This demand prompted him and Bob to start their own business, which originally operated under the name Auto Lawn. Their innovative spirit led to the creation of automated lawn care machines, setting the company apart in the industry. Over the years, the business evolved, rebranding to Lawn Doctor as they gained popularity, thanks to their unmatched dedication to customer satisfaction and lawn care excellence.
After the unexpected passing of Tony in 1983, Russell J. Frith took the helm of the company. Under his leadership, Lawn Doctor became synonymous with quality lawn care services across the United States, earning accolades such as the number one lawn care franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine and recognition as a classic franchise by Success Magazine. Today, the company boasts over 600 locations and has successfully served thousands of customers across 40 states, thanks to its strong franchise network and community-focused approach.
Lawn Doctor's services include lawn fertilization, pest control, mosquito and tick control, and more, tailored to meet local needs through personalized care and assessments. They pride themselves on their commitment to quality, offering a no-nonsense guarantee: if customers aren’t satisfied, the company will return at no charge or refund the last treatment cost. With over 55 years of experience, Lawn Doctor continues to lead with innovative technology and expertise, making them a trusted partner for homeowners wanting lush, healthy lawns.
