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.

The good thing about Hunter is he is so small that he can't see in your windows if you were to be playing cowboys and Indians with the wife unit or your girlfriend while he is there. smile

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 spray grass as well...and the name on the truck doesn't mean much. It's the tech that matters. If they care about their work you'll have good results.

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.
