About Lawn Doctor
Lawn Doctors mission is to cultivate strong relationships that improve the lives of our employees, our customers and our communities by providing high quality, environmentally responsible and innovative services that enhance the health and beauty of lawns and landscapes. Services we offer include fertilization and weed control, lawn insect control, soil treatments, tree & shrub care, outdoor pest control & more!
Lawn Doctor and all of our employees aim to help educate our customers and the public about the effective and responsible use of plant care products through exceptional service delivery and safety practices. We also believe in the superior service and attention given to our customers by way of being small, family-owned and -most importantly- local. It’s important to us that every LD team member knows and understands the area we service.
Lawn Doctor also believes strongly in having happy and healthy employees. You cannot take good care of your customers if you don’t take good care of your employees first. From top of the line equipment to help make their jobs easier, to mid-season parties to celebrate service milestones and acknowledge hard work, we do what it takes to cultivate and maintain a positive and dynamic work environment. We want everyone to be able to identify their own goals, which means giving each team member the opportunity for growth.
We encourage everyone to speak their mind and voice their opinion. Lawn Doctor would do just about anything for our customers and our employees. That has been our mindset from the very beginning and we don’t plan on changing it any time soon.

Back in 1988, Jim Norton did a lot of research in search of a business venture. He wanted to be his own boss and own something that could use the help of his four teenage boys. That’s when he came across Lawn Doctor. Lawn Doctor’s corporate founders were just a few guys running a hardware company out of their garage in New Jersey. Then they narrowed down their specialty to lawn care equipment and became a nationwide success. LD Corporate wanted to give local business hopefuls the opportunity to grow and prosper just like they had. Jim loved the idea! He ran the business out of his Braintree garage, customer information was kept in a handwritten journal, and the only employees were his sons.
Now, 30 years later, it’s all still in the family. Jim Norton is present and involved in the Lawn Doctor franchise that he worked so hard to establish. Tom Norton, his second oldest, has taken on the day-to-day ownership duties of running the business. Tom has been with LD Massachusetts since the very beginning. He helped his father grow the family business by servicing lawns every summer from high school through college. He continues to implement the Norton family values to this small, now Hanson-based franchise.

Every year in early spring we hold in house training for our service team members to ensure the expectations and standard of the upcoming seasons service is clear and a common goal across all LD staff. We retrain on standard applications as well as introduce innovative methods of service to help maximize our efficiency and results.

Regardless of the application method fertilizer is applied the products work the same way and accomplish equal results!
