Lawn Service
What to look for when
selecting an ethical lawn service company:
Licensing
is very important in the lawn service industry.
Each state has licensing requirements for
companies that treat lawns for insects and
weeds. They should also show you proof of their
liability insurance. Look
for a company that does a full inspection of
your property before offering you an estimate.
Unless the company already works in your
neighborhood, they will have typical square
footages. The Lawn Company should provide you a
written report to document current lawn and
ornamental conditions. Unless
you know who you're dealing with, get bids to
compare prices and quality. Cheap prices can
mean low measurements which might have been done
deliberately to give you a low-ball estimate.
Look for a company that will provide references
when asked. Make
sure they offer you a written guarantee. It will
provide some assurance if you run into any
problems. Look
for a company that can use more than one method
to treat your lawn. Be
sure the company you select is associated with
one or more professional lawn care associations.
Most associations require training and safety
classes and abide by a code of ethics. Each lawn
care company is required Department of
Agriculture to have a Certified Operator on
staff. An
ethical company will provide you with specific
details about how they will care for your lawn
before they actually start treatment. Look
for a company that has uniformed employee's and
trucks with nice lettering on them. Be
weary of a company that will only let you make
annual payments. Look
for a company that will give you a full written
report of the services rendered and the status
of your lawn condition on each visit. Questions
to ask when selecting a company in this industry:
Do
you offer organic products? Make sure to find
out the names of the products they use. Research
their line of products to assure they aren't
home-made. What
type of service agreements do you offer? Ask
what specific lawn care training their
technicians have? Do
you belong to a professional pest control
association? Will
you provide a written estimate? Are
there any extra charges for special services,
such as fertilizing, disease control, or
reseeding? What
is the guarantee? How long does it last? Will
you reseed or resod for free if we are not
satisfied? Is
the service scheduled indefinitely, or must I
renew? How much will the renewal cost? How
do I cancel service? What
pesticides will you be using on our lawn? Ask
if they will be posting any signs on your lawn
to let the neighborhood know that pesticides
were applied? How
long should you stay off treated areas? Do
you do criminal background checks on your
workers? |
