It seems like only yesterday I was complaining about 100 degree temperatures. Now, though the days are warm, I am waking to 50 degree mornings. Ah, I love Autumn. The air is crisp, the temperatures are comfortable, and the night’s sky is clear and full of stars.
Autumn is a very active time of year for most lawn care companies. In addition to leaf cleanup and gutter cleaning, important services such as core aeration, overseeding, bed maintenance, and pre-winter cleanup should be added to your list of services. Autumn is a perfect time to prepare a lawn for next spring’s growth. Aeration and overseeding is especially important during the next few weeks for cool season grasses.
Since many customers do not understand that prep. work now sets the stage for a much healthier lawn next year, it is our duty to educate customers and suggest services.
What services can you think of to add to your lawn care business?
If you are having trouble coming up with a list of services and corresponding prices, take a look at our Lawn Care Business course, it is packed with ideas to keep your lawn care business running all year long.

Here is a handy tip for those that want to starting a gutter cleaning service.
Professionals are now using the patented, American Made, rain gutter cleaning kit called a “Gutter Clutter Buster.”
This great new tool makes it possible to stay safely on the ground all the while you are cleaning out the gutters, even those second story gutters. One professional company is even cleaning out 40′ high gutters so it can be done!!!
The cost of this Gutter Clutter Buster Kit more than pays for itself the very first time you use it and never have to pay someone else to clean them for you.
Its truly a win-win situation for the crew that will be doing those gutter clean-ups!

Since most lawn care companies out there have multiple trailers… I think another service they can offer during the cold months is hauling off trash & debris.
