Services Offered by Lawn Care Providers
As in any industry, lawn care companies differ from each other with the kind of program and services that they are offering. Lawn care companies do not only vary according to cost, but to standard and optional agronomic services as well. The cost for a standard program, the services that make up the standard program, and types and cost of optional services also change from one company to another. Because of this, homeowners find it difficult to choose the right provider. This then creates the need for proper planning in order to create an impression of having the best lawn.
Standard and Optional Lawn Care Services
Fertilization is perhaps the most common ingredient in any lawn care program. Most lawn care companies offer pre-emergence and post-emergence weed control as part of their standard program while others treat these as optional services. Most lawn care services also include the control of surface-feeding insects in their standard package while grub control is usually offered at an extra cost.
Insect control is not usually offered by most companies, but some provide this kind of lawn care service at an extra cost. Also, most standard lawn care companies do not include disease control while other companies offer this as an optional service, requiring a homeowner to cash out more money.
Providing the Extra Mile
Reputable lawn care companies acknowledge that lawn quality will vary from time to time due to changes in weather. Therefore, it is impossible for them to assure you that no lawn care issues will arise if you contact them. Because of this, such companies extend lawn care services that they know will keep their customers satisfied. If a customer is not satisfied with a particular service, some providers offer corrective applications for free. To handle customer calls, other companies employ sales/service representatives who may also visit homeowners if the latter’s concerns are not resolved over the phone.
