Outstanding & personalized service !! Although this company has a standard service, there are certain areas of my lawn that need more of one thing and less of another. This all depends on what part of my yard your standing in. James is very knowledgeable about lawncare and knew right away how to approach my unique situation as all lawns have different needs in different areas. He let me know what I needed more of and what I needed less of and told me that his approach to my lawn treatment will depend on what is noticed each time he comes out. James is a true professional and never too busy to discuss my concerns or answer any questions I may have. He is very friendly, down to earth and a pleasure to work with. ~ Tom S
2023: I have had the Lawn Doctor do the fertilizing and weed control for my lawn this season in Elmhurst. I have seen a definite improvement in the overall quality of my lawn. Not inexpensive but worthwhile. I did my own fertilizing and weed control but not with such good results. I see this as paying for the expertise more than the product and labor. Again worthwhile. Will continue service with the Lawn Doctor next year. 2024: Continued the Lawn Doctor service and my lawn continues to look very good. Better than I could do myself. December 2024: I plan to continue the Lawn Doctor service in 2025 as in 2023 and 2024 for the reasons mentioned above. ~ Bob B
We can't believe the incredible difference in our lawn, all thanks to The Lawn Doctor of Villa Park. In one, yes ONE application our lawn looks so much better than it ever has. Even much of our impossible-to-kill creeping charlie is now gone. James, our Technician, is a true professional: Knowledgeable, prompt, dedicated, and exceptionally customer-focused. Such wonderful service, value, and results are rare today and are to be commended. We lament the years we tried doing this all ourselves, we should have called The Lawn Doctor from the start. Book with confidence! We recommend this business, and James, in the highest terms. ~ Bobbie M
There was this guy named Charlie who would constantly creep on my yard . He was not welcome. He’d show up every year and just spread out all over the lawn. Sure he he’d bring some purple flowers with him. Trying to make nice. But he was a brute and I couldn’t get rid of him. Until lawn dr. Not only did he boot creeping Charlie out of my lawn, also all of his rowdy friends. Got my soil tested, treated and seeded and after only 1 year my front and back yards are so much better. Now in maintenance mode and for the price, I couldn’t be happier. Already rec’ed to a couple of people. ~ andrew a
I was desperate for immediate lawn and tree/shrub care after I realized my previous company had a technician that was doing damage to my lawn. Ben (owner) and James (tech) came out to my house in Oak Brook within 1 day and explained everything I had going on, made a perfect, intelligent proposal, and actually went ahead and did the first service on the spot. I don't think I have ever experienced this level of speed and competency from any company period. Thank you guys for turning my property around...it looks great already. ~ Sidney T
With so many lawn care options available why not opt for the best first??? Our experience with this Company went far beyond our expectations. Not only the Company behind it, but Ben Barclay as your proprietor is a win/win situation. Ben is a most concientious, detailed and true professional when it comes to the final look of a lush and eye appealing lawn. There is nothing better then a well maintained lawn to set off a first impression of your home. The pride and joy of your homesite starts with this most important decision. ~ Kathy B
Ben Barkley-Lawn Care Doctor I’ve known Ben for numerous years and am very excited to start using his services this coming Spring 2021. Ben is very personable, honest and extremely reliable. I’m looking forward to getting rid of my current lawn maintenance service, as the current company I’m using is too big. I often felt as if was always issuing payments not knowing exactly what I was paying for. I’m confident moving forward my lawn will receive only the services that are needed, along with an explanation of applications being processed. ~ Therese J
Great lawn care makes the difference for a beautiful home. Ben’s yard is a testament to that fact as his yard is second to none. He is an independent businessman that is hardworking , dependable and will service your yard with no less care than he would his own. One of the most important considerations is he loves his work and takes personal pride in the results. Give Ben the opportunity to service your yard and truly enjoy the amazing final product. ~ Richard B
I was so impressed with the knowledge and professionalism I received from my lawn doctor Representative from the moment They had called to schedule my appointment to the conclusion of the service call. So impressed , I had called and cancelled my Tru Green service I’ve had at a rental property for the past 5 years . I highly recommend Ben Barclay and his team of professionals for any of your lawn care needs . ~ Justin S
When my friend Ben Barclay told me he was opening a Lawn Doctor business, I was very happy for him as he starts a new chapter. I could also say that I am “happy” for his future customers. Having enjoyed many years as Ben’s client in another service sector, I can predict Ben’s Lawn Doctor customers appreciating the qualities that made him a success in his earlier endeavors. Most important to me is that Ben has always been a pleasure to work with – good cheer, good attitude, and mutual respect. When it comes to the work, I have counted on Ben being conscientious, attentive to detail and delivering on time. Over the years, I have had several homes in several different states, and can’t remember how many lawn services I have had. What I have come to value in a lawn service – diligence, consistency, fairness, and giving me a yard that lets me keep up with the Jones, with pride – are all things I would count on receiving when I hired Ben’s Lawn Doctor services. Now, if only I could talk my wife into moving our house and yard from Washington state to the Villa Park-Elmhurst-Oak Brook area. ~ Dana L
It's said not to experience a lot of progress on your lawn right away, but WOW - after the first two treatments, which were in the fall, I already saw my lawn taking a dramatic turn for the better! Great expertise, great experience! They are continually teaching me about what pops up in my lawn & how it got there & how they will rid my lawn of weeds. Strongly recommend Lawn Doctor! ~ Gina W
The Lawn Doctor has been amazing. 2 years ago the back lawn was a “hot mess.” Since then I have been using the Lawn Doctor and have been extremely happy with the results. The lawn is beautiful. Thank you Lawn Doctor! My lawn gets lots of compliments on just how good it looks. Walking in the backyard is like walking on a plush carpet. Thank you Ben for your professional service. ~ Mike K
I have known Ben for over 35 years and can attest that he is very responsible and will take excellent care of the lawn projects he has contracted for his business. He is very knowledgeable of the lawn products and systems to maintain a long lasting and healthy lawn. He has always taken great pride with taking care his own lawn and very willing to help others with theirs also. ~ Sally W
You can be assured that Ben will be a professional and the service he provides will reflect the way he conducts all the other aspects of his life with integrity and genuine concern. He will do a great job and I am sure you will be more than satisfied with his customer service that is so often lacking in todays businesses. ~ Dottie S
I know the owner personally and he has an incredible passion for turf and soil science. I have relied on him for advice even before he started the business because his own yard was always the best in the neighborhood. He’s a perfectionist and is passionate about his reputation and doing the job right. ~ Jason H
I have known the operator for over 40 years and he has provided exceptional advice for the care of our lawn. He is friendly, reliable, efficient and knowledgeable. I can assure you he will treat and care for your yard or commercial grounds as he would his own. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable in the services and advice he provides. ~ Brooke F
Ben Barclay is dedicated and passionate about this business and I cannot think of another individual or company that will provide better service. Ben is professional, prompt, knowledgeable and resourceful. There is little doubt that you will not need to look beyond Lawn Doctor of Villa Park-Elmhurst-Oak Brook for your lawn care service. ~ James D
Ben is very professional and a good communicator who does a terrific job helping us to keep our lawn looking great! We also had power seeding done last fall by Ben and our grass has never looked thicker. He was even able to get healthy grass to grow in a stubborn shady area that has been mostly bare for years! ~ Mary M
In the years I have known Ben he has always shown, through first hand experience, great passion and knowledge of lawn care and related services. I am very confident that he would be your best choice when deciding the fate of your lawn and related landscape. ~ robert d
I am so excited that Ben Barclay has followed his passion and dream of having his own business with lawn care. He has always been my go to for any lawn needs and advice. This is truly his passion and expertise. He will treat your lawn as he does his own which will in turn look amazing. ~ Bridget B
We switched to Lawn Doctor after service from another provider became unreliable and we weren't happy with how our lawn looked. After a season with Lawn Doctor, our lawn looks better than it has in years. Ben is always responsive and pleasant to talk to. ~ Clare P
I have never dealt with more qualified and professional companies than I have with lawn doctor. they kept their promise when they said my lawn would show a 100% difference, well they wowed me I am so happy with the service I received that I would personally recommend them to anyone. ~ Terry H
I have know Mr. Barclay his entire life. His character is impeccable. He is the most pleasant, positive, hard working person you might ever imagine. I don't live within his area of service but wish that I did. No one could be a better partner to care for you lawn and landscaping. Anne F ~ Anne F
I have known Ben for many years and I consider him to be a responsible and committed person who strives for excellence. Above all else, he is a good person who believes in offering the best service possible. I would feel confident in hiring the services he offers through Lawn Doctor ~ Christian B
