Spring Aeration and Overseeding

[burnsyscapes]

do you know how many lawns you got to cover that aerator rental? lets just say 75 buks an aeration? that's 20 customers JUST to break even on the rental. if you want to pass out flyers you got to do it 3-5 times just so they get your attention. read about it, its all over this site.

im just saying doing the aeration now wont get you this work you are hoping for. im not even thinking about aerating now, as a matter a fact. most dealers here don't stock them till july august because they wont sell because people arnt doing them!!!

aeration and seeding in the spring?

Thanks! Yes. The total of my efforts show that a properly executed flyer campaign can see at least a 2% return on a 'seasonal service' effort in my area.

Where are you getting your numbers? I can rent a standard 25"-30" core aerator for $750 per month. I'm going to rent 2. $1500 for one month for both.
