Among the scores of landscaping and lawn maintenance companies operating in The Villages, do any have agronomists on staff?

Part of my lawn is dying. The maintenance company (Dean's) sent some nice young people who put down more fertilizer and weed deterrent after my first complaint, adjusted the sprinkler pattern after the second complaint, and increased the sprinkler running time after the third complaint. No improvement. It seems like a guessing game with them. What I'd like is to have the soil analyzed for disease and nasty bugs. Who offers this service, but also does mowing and upkeep for a monthly fee?
