## The honest read

Turf Doctor Lawn & Pest Services holds 4.8 stars from 928 Google ratings. The company says it has operated in Augusta and the surrounding area since 1997 and later added mosquito and tick control to its lawn care.

A recent customer said Tim did a thorough job aerating their lawn and answered their questions. A recent customer said a technician arrived early and completed their tick treatment without delay. One customer wrote that Turf Doctor got a treatment for goose droppings organized and completed in less than a day, and one said Brandon D. called to explain an issue he found with the lawn while servicing it. A customer whose yard was treated for ticks and mosquitoes said they have not had a problem since and appreciate the text notifications.

A 2025 customer said Harlan aerated and reseeded their lawn after a thorough explanation of what would be done.

A recent customer of almost 15 years gave one star, saying they had trouble with their mosquito and tick services all year, canceled, and after six calls over two months had not received a refund or the supervisor call they requested in July. A 2025 one-star review reads, in full: "My dod died after he sprayed my lawn".

**Strengths:**
- Lawn aeration — a recent customer said Tim did a thorough job
- Tick treatment — a recent customer said it was completed without delay
- Explained lawn issues — Brandon D. called about an issue he found

**Concerns:**
- Refund dispute — a recent customer said six calls brought no refund
- 2025 one-star review — "My dod died after he sprayed my lawn"
