Article: Lawn Care Tips

You as a property owner have many options available these days when it comes to lawn care companies. There are many good companies and many that are not so good. What are some of the things to look for in a quality lawn care company? Below are questions you should ask yourself and the potential company taking care of your lawn.

Is the company licensed by the state of Minnesota and are they fully insured?
Many are not!

Are all of their applicators licensed and certified?
Many use non-certified applicators and say they are supervised, which isn't legal!

What kind of training has the owner or manager received...what makes them an expert?
Do they have any training and expertise!

Why should I do business with you when the other guy is cheaper?
Wait for their answer, do they have a good reason, are they professional! They cheaper guy isn't generally worth the cheaper price…there is a reason they are cheaper!

What type of pre-emergent herbicide do you use and why?
They should know this and have a good reason for the product they choose!

Do you spray your broadleaf herbicide or is it in a granular form?
Granular formulations are generally much less effective…liquid applications are generally 99% effective.

Are you working with a reputable supplier...are you using "ag" fertilizers and pesticides?
Ag products are not as good as professional and offer the possibility of damage to your lawn!

What kind of informative material can you give me about your services?
Do they have fliers, educational brochures, etc!

Do you "blanket" spray or "spot" spray?
Big difference in results and cost!

What is the amount and type of slow release fertilizer you use for each round?
Many companies will cut cost by using low percentages of slow release, or no slow release at all for some rounds. This is not good for your turf!

How much Nitrogen am I getting for each application?
Many companies will put down less product per round but will offer more rounds. Essentially, you're paying more for less!
