I use Wayne's. $25/ month and have some pretty thick grass for my house being built on top of rock and gravel. That's sorta what I'm looking for... I just couldn't justify anything really expensive. All I really want is my front yard...I'm guessing it's 100' x 50'. So something like $100/mo would just be illogical. And like we've said above, I'd still be doing all my lawncare, I'm just wanting someone who'll do the sciency-chemical stuff. I perform my own treatments but if you are looking for a good company then I would recommend Waynes. I have used them for Sentricon systems in my Home Building business and was very pleased with their service. I know the owner and his wife as I went to high school with them and they are good Christian people. An Alabama company owned by Alabama people, not a franchisee of a national company. Support Alabama businesses.

A lot of the price depends on the size of your yard. Mine is around 2 acres, it ain't cheap to spray even if I do it, but it looks great and I don't have to do anything but cut it so I pay the man to do his thing with the spraying.

I bet Hunter will even let you ride that fancy little motorized cart he drives around the yard.

I would highly suggest finding a trustworthy local lawn man. Back in the fall of last year during the drought, army worms were destroying my lawn. Scott's wanted me to sign a year contract for a lawn treatment plan, not just the army worm treatment, and couldn't be there to treat for 2 days. Estimate for army worm treatment was $75.
Local guy that does great work, as I had already seen by testimony of a co-worker's lawn, beat their price by $15, was no obligation to sign a contract, and came within 2 hours of my call. I ended up signing up for a yearly lawn treatment plan(fertilizer, pesticide, weed killer). Treatments are every other month and cost $50.

I'm going up $5 dollars on all of yall Only going up 5 bucks? If you have to put up with this kind of schitt from your customers I would think at least a 50% increase in price would be in line. Sounds like you are doing a good job and your customers do like you also. Keep going strong.

Several years ago we used one. I told them about different problems we had, they said they treated them, etc. We just used them one year (spring-summer-early autumn) to get a feel of how things might go. We were not terribly impressed for the money so we didn't sign up.
The following year, in late February or early March, I get a knock on the door one day and it's a guy from the same company.
"Hey, how're you doing?"
Good, good. We're in the neighborhood and I see that you have some trouble with weeds in your lawn. Could I let you know how we can help you with those?
"Considering you guys treated our lawn for about nine months last year, I wouldn't say that weeds showing up now is a ringing endorsement nor a reason I would give you a second chance. So, thanks for stopping by."
Maybe we didn't sign up for the super-duper series of treatments or we have SuperWeeds or something. But I can find better uses for our money, and I also don't give two rips what any neighbors think about a few clumps of wild onion or henbit.
