DuCotey Brothers Lawn Service Inc describes itself on its website as a family owned and operated grounds maintenance company serving Litchfield County and the surrounding areas, and says it has been in business 48 years. It holds a 4.5-star Google rating from 16 ratings. A 2024 customer who had just moved to Goshen said that, just before a heavy snowstorm, DuCotey Bros. was the only company that called back and was happy to plow the driveway. A 2024 customer said DuCotey handled the plowing and lawn service at the customer's mother's house. A 2024 customer said the Ducotey's take care of several of the family's properties. A 2022 customer said they were worked in without an appointment and everything was done in no time. A 2026 customer said the company believed invoices from the previous season had gone unpaid and planned not to provide service for the current season without calling or emailing. That 2026 customer said that after showing Donna the invoices were paid on time and in full, there was no apology and service was refused for the season. The same 2026 customer said a mature rose bush was stepped on during fall cleanup. A 2025 customer said the landscape work was good and competitively priced, but called the weekly lawn mowing extremely sloppy, with parts of the yard skipped. That 2025 customer said Fran did not respond when they tried to discuss it, and they fired the company after 8 weeks.
They have significant communication and billing issues. I cannot recommend them. They were convinced I had not paid any invoices from the previous season, and were planning on not providing service for the current season but had not bothered to call or email me to communicate that. After showing Donna that I had in fact paid on-time and in-full, she skipped any explanation or apology and instead, made up a very odd and unexpected excuse for refusing service for this season. I cannot understand how they’re still in business when they run it in this way. This experience, when combined with some minor landscaping damages such as stepping on our mature rose bush, which occurred during fall cleanup (must’ve had a rushed or clumsy crew here that day) - all without any apology or professional communication - has led to this poor review and recommendation to look elsewhere for lawn service.
High recommend for grounds maintenance in litchfield county! Reliable, knowledgeable company!
They were a new company to us in 2025. The landscape work they performed was good and very competitive in pricing. The weekly lawn mowing was a disaster. Extremely sloppy, skipping parts of the yard and trimming every week. It got to the point where they were doing more harm then good. Tried to discuss with Fran but no return communication. We ended up firing them after 8 weeks.
Doing a great job with my lawn maintenance, highly recommend!
The Ducotey's take care of several of my family's properties. They do an excellent job and are highly professional.
