Hi all,

It has been a while since I wrote, as I have been busy developing my fertilizing programs as well as finishing up the snow plowing.

Fertilizing can be tricky especially in a business. I have developed three different synthetic fertilizing programs, and two organic programs. I modeled my programs off of larger companies such as Trugreen Chemlawn and seascape which operates out of New England. I also consulted our local extension as well as my fertilizer supplier for advice and input.

In order to put down fertilizer you need to have a pesticide license. This can be obtained via courses at your local university. The course costs approximately $500 but it will give you a license and make you more legit and legal. I have had some trouble estimating lawn care in the past, however, I think I finally have the estimating process down. I have developed a formula based off the square feet of the lawn that helps me develop accurate estimates for both my synthetic and organic fertilizing programs.
