I have used them a number of times for fireants, wasps, and recently lawn sprinklers. Good service and very helpful and knowledgeable. You can’t go wrong. Also I line you can just pay them to come out and do a treatment without needing to mess with subscriptions and annoying monthly contracts.

Yes! An honest and helpful business. Todd, the owner contacted me within hours of me submitting an inquiry.

Todd stopped by the house on the same day I reached out to lay eyes on a lawn care project. Even though he wasn’t able to help with the work, he gave me a lot of sound advice and got rid of a couple wasp nests at no cost while we talked. Super appreciative of his generosity. Look forward to hiring once our project needs meet their capacity and scope.

A neighbor of mine had them treat their grass for chiggers. I had been putting it off and even tried to DIY. After the positive reports from my neighbors I called. I could not be happier.
Thanks to everyone for answering all my questions. It was great to educate myself on the treatment and situation I was dealing. So worth it.

I was able to submit pictures and he let me know what was going on with my lawn even though it didn’t require their services. After having several disappointing experiences with contractors and service people, I was glad to speak to someone who provided me with helpful information instead of trying to sell services I didn’t need.

Good morning Joe and thank you for the kind words. Yes, with all the wonderful rain comes extra bugs indeed. Hopefully we made your life a little easier and especially with less itching. See you soon and thanks again, Todd

We have just begun to use dr. Tex services.
And have been pleased with the results so far.
It appears they have eliminated some of the weed problem that existed and was not under control with the previous vendor.
Everything looks healthy and we look forward to seeing how it holds up during the summer.

The company was very proactive in response to my needs. I feel they went above and beyond with customer service. I also like that they put a sign up so people would know the yard had been treated, especially for people with dogs. They treated my yard for weeds, pests, fertilize, etc. Great service.

I wanted to give a big thank you to Dr. Tex Lawn & Pest. I highly recommend their service. Todd listened to my concerns and lawn needs and created a plan that worked. Other services would only offer a cookie cutter service. Dr. Tex services are professional and effective, but more importantly, I am grateful that they were real, authentic people that didn’t just listen, they heard me, and treated me like a person (it’s becoming rare, as everything is becoming more about data and automation). Most importantly—My lawn looks AMAZING!!
