Lawn-Pro Lawncare Service

What Lawn-Pro Lawncare Service does

Lawn-Pro Lawncare Service, Inc. is a private, family-owned residential lawn care operator founded in 1994 by Steve and Patti Bukoff in Massachusetts. The company delivers a portfolio of seven interrelated services to residential homeowners across Southeastern Massachusetts and Northern Rhode Island, anchored by a subscription fertilization program of 4-5 scheduled visits per season and supplemented with mosquito control (all-natural liquid cedar oil), flea and tick control, foundation insect control, tree and shrub care, vegetation control, and one-time core aeration and seeding. Technical differentiation rests on organic-based granular fertilizers and an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methodology that the company claims reduces chemical applications by up to 90% versus traditional lawn care programs.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market motion: customers are acquired primarily through phone (1-800-LAWN-PRO), website free-quote requests, and a referral program that credits $50 toward a Full Year Service Program. Services are delivered on-site by licensed technicians through scheduled field visits, with billing structured as recurring annual subscriptions for fertilization and pest control programs and unit-based pricing for one-off services (e.g., $150 for three mosquito treatments). The firm is a member of MALCP (Massachusetts Association of Lawn Care Professionals), RINLA (Rhode Island Nursery and Landscape Association), and NALP (National Association of Landscape Professionals), and founder Steve Bukoff has served as MALCP President since 2018.

The company employs between 11 and 50 staff across regional mailing locations in South Weymouth MA, North Attleboro MA, and Pawtucket RI. There are no publicly disclosed financials, no outside funding, and no M&A activity; ownership remains with the Bukoff family, with son Dan Bukoff (12+ years industry experience) positioned to take over operations. Growth to date has been driven by organic word-of-mouth, local SEO across approximately a dozen town-level landing pages, and steady cross-sell of additional pest and landscape services into the existing residential customer base.

Product overview

Lawn-Pro Lawncare Service is a traditional lawn care service company that operates as a single unified service offering rather than a software platform. The company provides a portfolio of seven interconnected lawn care services: Lawn Fertilization Services (organic-based granular fertilizer programs with weed control and grub prevention), Mosquito Control Services (all-natural cedar oil applications), Flea and Tick Control, Foundation Insect Control, Tree and Shrub Care, Vegetation Control, and Core Aeration and Seeding. These services are offered as standalone programs that can be combined based on customer needs, with the fertilization program serving as the foundation service and additional pest/insect control services complementing it. The company also offers a referral program and customer portal for account management.
