Not Your Average Lawn Care Company

We were excited to learn all about Dutchess Lawns and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Jay Lotaj.

Dutchess Lawns has been in business for 15 years and has been recognized for its quality and excellent service. We asked Jay what it is that makes them stand apart from other lawn care companies, and he said:

“It is the quality that makes us different, the details, and we will not oversell our customers on something that they do not need. We will address issues that need addressing. We are looking for repeat customers.”

Building Success And Giving Back

Dutchess Lawns has earned a fantastic reputation, so we asked Jay how they have managed to grow their business and get such incredible reviews. He said:

“I don’t ask anybody for reviews, I think they should be organic. If there is an issue, I want to resolve it. Good communication gets the job done to their expectations. We will rectify any issues to leave the customer satisfied.”

In addition to building the kind of online reputation that any small business would envy, Dutchess Lawns has spread the word about who they are and what they do by finding ways to give back to the community. Jay told us that, recently, they paid for a brick wall that a local school didn’t have the money to build. They have also covered snow plowing invoices for elderly clients. Jay said:

“If you are part of the community, you have to be part of the community.”

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Dutchess Lawns has managed to. We asked if Jay could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“Come in and do what you are capable of; do not take a job you are not capable of doing. Be honest with customers, and charge a reasonable price. Go in, and do what they need.”


Congratulations to Dutchess Lawns for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Jay for taking the time to speak with us!
