Start Dates

[ctvalley]

Ok...newbie question here:

I am in MA and need to figure out times/dates for several services.

When do you start the following services in MA/NY/CT etc.:

weekly mowing
Fertilizer Apps
Spring Cleanup
Mulch
any other services that you think of?

Any help would be appreciated. I started this company in August so I wasn't paying attention to the dates of certain annual services that occur in the spring.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

I generally start Mulch and Spring Cleanups around the middle of March (weather depending).

Mowing starts in April. I usually get at leat 2-3 cuts per customer in April.

I'm out in western mass and here are my start dates

Spring cleanups- March 20-25 depending on snow and rain
First mowing- Third week of April. You may want to check them if you did the cleanups early
Mulching - as soon as you clean out the beds you can mulch
Bush trimming - I use July 4th as a date. If they are having a party at there house then I'll do it before, but I dont trim before the 4th otherwise
Lawn repair - End of april. Watch out for the pre em for crab grass
Fall- Last few weeks of August, wait for temps to start droping

Mowing = When The Grass Grows
Fertilizing = When The Grass Doesn't Grow
Spring Cleanup = When The Leaves Cover The Grass
Mulch = When There Is Grass In The Mulch

Sorry, I Couldn't Help But Be A Smart A**!

I try to start spring clean ups and mulch work in March and usually start cutting first or second week of April if weather permitting
