About Us

Lawn Doctor of Walnut Creek-Concord is owned and operated by brothers Peter and David Larson.  Both are native Californians born in Berkeley back in the early 60’s.   However, they grew up on the other coast in Wilmington, Delaware.  In middle school/high school, they moved with their family to St. Louis, Missouri.  Peter went on to graduate with a fine arts degree from the University of Missouri in Columbia and David graduated with a degree in Business Administration from Southeast Missouri  State University in Cape Girardeau.

Peter helped raise three daughters, two of which graduated college with the youngest just completing her Master’s program last year.  With all three independent, Peter decided to move back to his roots after leaving a successful career at All State Insurance for the past ten years.  Peter relocated to San Ramon where he could be close to his parents.

“I really liked my position at All State as I got to work with the public and help them with products which gave them peace of mind.  Lawn Doctor gives me the same pleasure with continuing to work with the public; also helping them achieve their lawn care goals and providing a tangible service which people appreciate.”

David has been back in California since 1988.  Initially working for 7-Eleven Inc. as a District Manager and then caught the computer bug in 2000 where he managed the Service Desk for a large financial services company in San Francisco.  David also managed the Service Desk for a large semi-conductor company in Silicon Valley where he oversaw and provided the computer support for seven offices throughout the United States.

“Making the transition from 7-Eleven to technical support in computers was easy for me as it was always about providing the best customer service.  The same holds true with my desire to transition from technical support to Lawn Doctor.  First and foremost, it is all about providing the best customer support and experience for my clients.  Listening to my customers lawn care goals and then exceeding them is my number one priority.”

In their spare time, both Peter and David love to cook.  While Peter leans more toward anything Mexican, such as burritos, tacos, fajitas, etc., David enjoys cooking anything on his Traeger from steak, chicken, ribs, fish, jerky, you name it.  Both are diehard baseball fans who still cheer for their hometown St. Louis Cardinals.  Peter is also an avid college football fan as well as St. Louis Blues hockey fan while David follows the Golden State Warriors basketball team.

With Lawn Doctor of Walnut Creek-Concord, you are getting two brothers who love the Bay Area and are excited to bring the Lawn Doctor name and high level of customer service to the East Bay.
