Top 5 Lawn Service Problems and How To Fix or Avoid Them

Using a commercial lawn care service should be a stress and worry free venture; however, sometimes this is not the case. In my 30+ years serving lawn care customers, I’ve heard some of the problems homeowners have had when using a lawn care company. I would like to address some of these issues and help you understand why they happen and what you can do to fix them or avoid them all together.

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.

Moore Green Water-Less Treatment

Our New ‘Water-Less’ Treatment Can Save up to 50%!*

If there was a product available that would cut your water use by 30%-50%, would you be interested? Well listen up, Moore Green is now offering a ‘Water-Less’ Treatment. “I first experimented with this product in 2004, but the product wasn’t easily accessible,” states Blake Moore, owner of Moore Green. “Recently the product is now available and is more stable to use and with the need to conserve water, we are making it available to our customers,” he says.

It’s not a soil wetting agent that is included in Moore Green’s BASIC and PLUS lawn programs or a superabsorbent polymer, however it is humectant and hygroscopic compounds that act like a ‘water-magnet’ that attracts water molecules from the air within soil and making it available to plants. One application lasts up to three months!

How To Use It:

1.     After the application, water heavily within 3 days to move the product into the root zone with at least ½” of water. Failure to deep water makes the treatment useless!

2.     Turn off your automatic sprinkler program. Only water manually on the next morning when the lawn appears grayish-blue and water deeply.

3.     Keep track of your water bill or usage and report it to Moore Green via [email protected]

*These steps must be followed completely to use this product to its full advantage

Protecting Bees and Other Beneficial Insects

As a company that provides insect control services, Moore Green recognizes the importance of protecting the good insects such as Honey Bees, Lady Bird Beetles, and Lacewings. If there are trees or shrubs that are blooming at the time of an insect spray, such as an Aphid Treatment or a Foundation Spray, we will purposely skip those plants to protect the beneficials.

We would ask our clients to be aware of local beehives in nearby properties and inform us of their location before an insect control treatment. If you are interested in helping the bee population visit www.operationpollinator.com or look for flower seed mixes that attract Bees and other important insects.

Moore Green is Conserving Water

With the dry winter we have had this year many of us are concerned about the availability of water. Conserving the water we have is the first step in being sure that water will be available. Beginning in 2015, Moore Green will increase the concentration of their lawn care products allowing them to use less water.

Blake Moore, owner of Moore Green, states, “We can reduce our water use by 30% which equates into saving around 30,000 gallons this coming year. Customers will continue to get the same amount of fertilizers and weed controls however it will go out with less water.” A lawn that took fifteen gallons in previous years will now only take ten gallons and the lawns will continue to look beautifully green and lush.
