When bad weather (wind, rain, snow) happens on your service day, we generally try to return within the next business day or two. Sometimes the weather clears early in the day and we get a later start, which may mean that we can’t get to all of our scheduled stops. We make every effort to text or call those we don’t get to.

Protecting Moore Green Customers from Market Fluctuations
Lawn care products and parts are experiencing crazy fluctuations, just like everything else. We are seeing fertilizer prices climbing over 200% over last year, unavailability of products due to lack of containers and lids as well as lack of active ingredients, shipping prices higher than ever, and equipment parts are on back order with no date of availability.

Feed Your Soil Healthy Root System
Good soil leads to healthy plants and good soil is more than a combination of sand, silt, and clay particles. Healthy soil also contains organic matter, microbes, and air. In a garden we improve the soil by adding leaves or compost and tilling it in. But what about the soil your lawn is planted in?
Moore Green offers a simple solution to feed your soil. They call it their ‘Soil Booster’, and it is an add-on to the basic lawn fertilizer treatments. It contains beneficial bacteria, soil conditioners, and organic compounds focused on improving the soil.
“In the lawns that receive the Soil Booster, we find that they perform better under stress such as heat and traffic, and they recover better from drought,” reports Blake Moore, owner of Moore Green. He recommends two treatments during the year, preferably spring and late summer. “To keep the cost lower for our customers, we apply the Soil Booster at the same time we do a lawn treatment, to avoid a return trip,” Blake says.
To get a price for the Soil Booster for your lawn, call the office or talk to your service technician.

How Much Does a Lawn Service Cost?
How much does it cost to use a lawn service?
When considering lawn care, you inevitably arrive at the question – How much does it cost to use a commercial lawn care service? Although this can be difficult to answer because not all lawns or their needs are the same, I will do my best at explaining some pricing guidelines.
The most obvious pricing factor is the size of the lawn, which is measured in square feet or by the acre and is calculated by measuring the length and the width and multiplying them together. A 20,000 square foot lawn will cost more than a 5,000 square foot lawn. What may not be as obvious is that a 5,000 square foot lawn may not be half the price of a 10,000 square foot lawn. This is because the lawn service company must charge for the time to travel to each property and perform duties like loading product, cleaning off sidewalks, reeling up a hose, doing paperwork, etc. that takes roughly the same time regardless of the size of a lawn. Moore Green has a minimum charge of $47.00 per treatment.
Doing Business with Friends
With the change of our company name to Moore Green, I was able to begin servicing the lawns of friends that live in an area I didn’t service before. I was nervous at first to add a business relationship to our friendship. As I thought about my customers that I’ve had for years, I realized that many of them have become friends and I enjoy helping them achieve a beautiful landscape.
A good businessman once told me that people prefer to do business with people they like and trust. This has definitely been my experience and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work for friends and share my talents with them.
I appreciate your friendship!
