A family run business with Joe Hodgson at the helm, Our individually owned franchise provides superior service and has office hours weekdays from 9-4 for easy customer access. Always interested in Landscaping Design and Horticulture, Joe purchased his first Lawn Doctor Franchise during the 80’s and now heads up 7 localities in the DC Metro area. He holds a true passion for lawns, plants and people.
Joe’s kids have all been involved in the business at some time or another and a few of them have gone on to other things – taking their knowledge of lawn care and horticulture with them. Tim, nephew, worked in the Peace Corps in Paraguay for a number of years, teaching farmers how to increase their crop yields and fight infestation. Daughter, Jenny, spent a few years in Africa, teaching and helping the locals.
Closer to home, sons Mike and James worked within the business and Nick, the fittest of a fit bunch, helps out periodically between his time with Cross Fit gym and sustainable farming. He would like to create some environmentally friendly programs that we would add in the future. Kristi, real head of the Hodgson household, is also our Office Manager and heads up our Customer Service Team of which we are justifiably proud.
