Soil testing is central to The Turf Manager's lawn care. A June 2026 Google customer said that after years of buying seed and fertilizer, the company's testing and treatment improved a lawn they had already considered good. They also praised reasonable pricing and communication. Based in Worcester, the company says it provides residential fertilization and soil nutrient management through recurring soil tests and mineral fertilizer. Its stated service area includes Holland, Dudley, Westminster, Charlton, Cambridge, Haverhill, and Franklin. Google displays five stars from 142 ratings. Customers describe greener, thicker lawns, weed control, and explanations of the treatment being applied. In November 2025, a customer who had used Dave and his team for two years said the lawn looked better each season and that the team explained both the work and the lawn's needs. Another November 2025 reviewer described aeration and overseeding, informative emails from David, and lawn-care tips from David and Bob. That customer also noticed that the crew collected the flags marking irrigation and placed them neatly by the garage door afterward. Several dated accounts describe work on difficult lawns. In October 2025, a customer with a mossy, shaded, constantly wet lawn and bare spots said the lawn had become green and lush. A December 2024 customer credited soil testing and treatment based on its results after starting with a patchy lawn covered in moss. In November 2024, another reviewer described watching David drive onto sloped areas to apply fertilizer fully, rather than treating them from a distance. Customers also praise communication. A June 2026 reviewer said the company was responsive to their questions. In December 2024, a customer who hired The Turf Manager for core aeration and overseeding praised calls or texts returned the same day and advance notice of service dates. A customer writing in October 2022 described text messages with an exact date and time before visits, followed by notes with comments and suggestions afterward. That reviewer said they had waited until fall to seed on Dave's advice and were pleased with how the lawn looked after a dry summer.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from The Turf Manager. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

$50 – $70

For years I spent money on top shelf seed and fertilizer...... and honestly, my lawn looked good.... but never "great". These guys are amazing! They do soil tests, approach it from a scientific level, and take a lawn from good to great! Every time I pull in the driveway, I look at my lawn and think Wow, that's amazing! Great customer service, reasonable pricing, very knowledgeable, great communication, the easy button on a beautiful lawn. Thank you David.
Excellent customer service. Very responsive to all my questions. Definitely recommend the Turf Manger.
I’ve been using The Turf Manager for two years now, and Dave and his team have been nothing short of amazing. They take the time to explain what they’re doing, what the lawn needs, and it really shows in the results. Each season my yard looks better and healthier than the last. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for the property are unmatched. If you want a lawn care company that truly goes above and beyond, The Turf Manager is the one to choose. Highly recommend!
I’ve waited 2 seasons to leave this review because I wanted to see the results of their work, and boy does their work speak for itself. David knows everything there is to know about lawns. Not only do results speak for themselves, the level of knowledge David and Bob have is unmatched. Both David and Bob are always willing to share tips and tricks and teach you along the way. David is very communicative and his emails are very informative. I read a lot on r/lawncare, where people are obsessed with perfect lawns. I'm happy to say that David is just as knowledgeable as those people, and uses the same products and techniques. That's how you know the man knows his stuff. I really appreciated the fact that after they finished aerating and overseeding, they picked up all flags I used to mark irrigation, and neatly put them by the garage door. They didn't have to do that, but they did. Bob is usually the one coming out, and I’ve learned a great deal about lawn care from him. Always willing to share a story and provide tips. After 2 seasons of their work, it’s actually enjoyable to mow my grass. Also, this season I had zero weeds anywhere. If you are debating between Turf Manager and something like True Green, don't even bother. Guys at Turf Manager are just on a completely different level. P.S. Still working on the stripes, don't judge.
Dave and Bob are the best. Very knowledgeable and always a quick response to any issues that may pop-up.
