In the past I have ran mine for 3 months- (March-May). I am trying to decide whether to run it all year this year-(March-August).

In the past I ran my ad for 4-6 weeks starting in the middle of March(assuming no snow on the ground) until

Thinking about doing this for the first time this year, too. Does anyone have examples of what they say in their newspaper ads we can look at? I'm looking to try and set mine apart from the half dozen other "will mow, trim, prune, & haul. Call now," ads in the local...
