Lawn Doctor, Inc. Announces New Franchise In North Raleigh, NC

Lawn Doctor is pleased to announce the opening of Lawn Doctor of North Raleigh, owned and operated by husband and wife team Jesse Wilson Harris III (“Wilson”) and Heather Gwaltney Harris of Raleigh, NC.

Wilson graduated in 2006 from North Carolina State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Turfgrass Science and an Associate’s degree in Agricultural Business Management.  He has worked on the agronomy side of the golf course industry in various capacities since 1999. Since graduating from NC State, Wilson has held the position of Assistant and Golf Course Superintendent at several championship caliber courses in the Raleigh area.

Heather graduated from East Carolina University in 2008 and 2011 with two Bachelor’s degrees, one in Family Community Services and the other in Nursing. She is currently a Certified Oncology Nurse at the Duke Cancer Center in Durham and at Rex Hospital in Raleigh.  Heather has worked as an Oncology Nurse since graduating from ECU and moving to Raleigh in 2011.

Lawn Doctor of North Raleigh will provide customized services to the Leesville area, delivering personal, dependable service direct from the owners themselves. Wilson will take care of yard care service needs – including lawn care and maintenance, aeration, seeding and Yard Armour® mosquito and tick control – as well as marketing, to introduce the business to the community. Heather will help with accounting. “We have a son who’s nine, who will most likely be involved when he gets older,” says Heather.

In evaluating their entrepreneurial options, “My father-in-law is a franchisee for Great Clips, and he turned me on to looking into franchising – so I did a Google search on best lawn care franchises,” said Wilson. “Forbes had a top ten list of best lawn care companies of 2015 and Lawn Doctor was on it. I had heard of the majority of the others, but didn’t even pursue many of them because I had heard and read lots of negative reviews.

Everyone that I interacted with from Lawn Doctor made me feel very comfortable, as if I was a part of their family. I intend to make all of our customers and employees feel like they are part of the family too. When they are in need of a service or have questions, I will make sure we are meeting their needs very promptly. ”

“As a Lawn Doctor franchisee, we hope to create an atmosphere where more families can get out of the house and enjoy their lawns while spending time with their loved ones,” added Heather. “Lots of times we get so busy and wrapped up with work and other things that we tend to overlook what is most important in life – family and living life to the fullest.”

“I want to provide a service to families so that I can take an item off of their to-do list, give them more free time, and add value to their most valuable asset, their homes,” added Wilson.

“We are delighted to welcome the Harris’s to the Lawn Doctor family of companies,” said Scott Frith, Lawn Doctor President and CEO. “It’s hard to imagine anyone more qualified and passionate about this business than Wilson. Together, Heather and Wilson epitomize the caring and drive to provide quality service that Lawn Doctor customers expect.”
