The Turf Doctors

How many years have you been in landscaping business, and what inspired you to get started?

How often have you driven through a neighborhood and admired the manicured lawn of someone’s home? Have you ever considered that your lawn could look just as lovely under the care of a professional lawn care service? You probably think that it would cost too much money – not so! My name is Bradley, Co-Owner of THE TURF DOCTORS-BCS. We have been in the business of creating beautiful lawns since 1997, and have earned the reputation for excellent lawn care service at exceptionally affordable prices. We can do this because we are highly efficient; we know what we are doing; and we keep our overhead low.

How does your work stand out from other lawn service companies in the area?

Lawn care is a complex discipline. But many homeowners who rely on trial and error end up frustrated, never reaching their lawn goals. We have lawn care down to a science. We are experts in dethatching, aeration, seeding and proper lawn fertilization. We know exactly what needs to be done to make your lawn a lush and green all year long and free from weeds and pests. Here are some reasons services provided by a Professional lawn care and maintenance company like THE TURF DOCTORS-BCS are so beneficial. The proper care: 1) Helps your lawn withstand lawn disease throughout the year. 2) Helps your lawn weather through unpredictable climate conditions. 3) Keeps your lawn nutrient-rich, allowing it to breathe and absorb nutrients and moisture to a much deeper level through fertilization and soil aeration. 4) Helps fight lawn-damaging insects and weeds with proper insect and weed control.

What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

1) What kind of certifications, licenses and insurance does the company have? It’s important to know what experience and qualifications a lawn care provider has, since they often work with potentially hazardous chemicals. Insurance is also very important. Lawn mowing equipment can be dangerous, and you will want to know that the company’s insurance will cover any accidents. 2) Is the company part of a professional organization? Professional organizations often hold their members to certain industry standards. Membership in such an organization, and compliance with their guidelines, is a good sign. 3) What is the company’s lawn care philosophy? If you are environmentally conscious and want to avoid the use of harsh chemicals on your lawn, you need a lawn care provider whose philosophy aligns with yours. 4) What services are provided? A lot more goes into lawn care than meets the eye. Extra services may be offered or included as a package deal, such as irrigation or watering, fertilization, ant control, general pest control, integrated pest management, seeding, aeration, weed control, lawn edging and of course lawn mowing and weed whacking. Find out if you are expected to supply things like seeds and fertilizers. Professional companies like THE TURF DOCTORS-BCS have the certifications necessary to obtain and apply professional-grade products not available homeowners or for purchase at retail stores. These products will provide the professional results you deserve! 6) What kinds of contracts are available? Try not to get locked into a long contract. If you’re not happy with the service received after just a couple of months, you should be able to fire your lawn care provider without fuss. After a few visits, once you are sure you love the serivces you recieve, it may be financially advantagous to enter a contract....but only do so on YOUR time schedule! THE TURF DOCTORS-BCS only has basic cost-saving contracts a customer can choose to enter in order to save money! No pressure here---Just green grass! 7) What is the service schedule? Specifically, which months of the year are they active? How often do they mow the lawn? How often is the lawn fertilized? If you need them to come at a certain time or on a certain day, are they amenable? What happens if the weather is poor? 8) Will the company notify you of problems or recommended treatments? Ideally, of course, they will keep you informed of any changes. You don’t want to be blindsided by extra charges, or find out that a powerful pesticide was used when you would rather have tried something else. 9) How is the equipment maintained? Equipment that isn’t well-maintained won’t do as good of a job over time. In particular, the lawn mowing blades should be regularly sharpened. In fact, for a professional company, every day is ideal!

What do you like most about the lawn care industry?

Creating and maintaining a beautiful lawn is a skill that requires experience and a certain passion for the job. We have both! In addition, we repair sprinkling systems, lay sod, and even provide gutter maintenance. The bottom line is that we can transform what appears to be a hopeless lawn into one that is the lush, green lawn you have always wanted.
