WHO IS THE GRASSGEEK?

Started in 2010, The GrassGeek (formerly Northeast Lawn & Golf Services) was created by native Mainer, David Domingos.  With 15 years of golf course experience under his belt, David decided to bring the science and techniques involved with all things agronomic over to residential lawns in the Greater Portland area.  In 2020, Roy Rice joined the company to create and manage the Irrigation Department. This now allowed turf and irrigation to go hand in hand each season.

The GrassGeek sees each lawn as its own micro-environment.  Weather patterns are always changing so a treatment and servicing program has to be flexible and tailored to handle what Mother Nature throws at us.

Most lawn care companies use a “cookie-cutter” approach for all their clients no matter what the conditions are or what issues need to be addressed. David always wanted The GrassGeek to be different.  He felt that by utilizing his knowledge and experience, he could provide options for the client to consider based on the condition of their lawn and soil.  He also wanted the client to be informed as their lawn progressed each season. David does this through detailed email communications to his clients throughout the growing season.  These communications address weather patterns, watering, mowing, and other turf-related issues each week.
