    Default Lawn care deals

    I'm thinking about booking a lawn care package again but switching from who we use and looking for a Beyond hook up. Average size lot, looking for aeration, power raking, over seeding and of course keep my lawn green and weed free. Anyone work for a lawn care co?

    The way to get a good deal is find a company that already has several clients in yiur area and approach them while they are working to see what you can negotiate. Landscapers spend a lot of unprofitable time driving around.

    Calling the central number of any large company isn't going to get you a deal.

    Where do you live?

    You realize you are talking to the guy who made his own furniture out of salad bowls right?

    Also helpful to watch how they work. A lot of them send a 17 year old kid who literally runs behind a fertilizer spreader, takes all of 2 minutes to "feed" your lawn.

    True story. Spend some nice spring weekdays wandering around your area and follow the sound of the power equipment.

    Holy, forgot about that guy. Yeah, had him aerate my lawn a few years ago and was very impressed with his work ethic.
