The title says it all... Please list what you offer, and would like to offer. Also, what makes you the most money.

We...
  • Mow
  • Tree and Shrub Trimming and Removal
  • Plow
  • Salt
  • Clean-ups (spring, fall, storm)
  • "Landscape" (Plant some plants, and mulch, nothing crazy)

  • Odd Jobs (painting, clean-outs, winterizing, ect). We are "The Home and Lawn Service after all. :laugh:

Mowing is our money maker...

We want to do more "landscaping", add aeration, de thatching, sod, hardscaping, lighting, and some irrigation, tilling (maybe), hydro seeding, fencing, brush hogging, application (working on license)...

I advertise for the following:

-Weekly Lawn Maintenance
-Spring and Fall Cleanups
-Hedge trimming
-Landscape Lighting
-Landscape Design and Installation
-Mulching and Edging
-Snowplowing
I also offer tree trimming and removal however I don't do any of that work I sub it out to a buddy of mine.

In addition to what I advertise, I do a few other things...for example I had a couple people call me and ask if I do thatching...I got a couple lined up and rented the machine and knocked them out in one day. Most profitable overall is mowing, but I do good in terms of average dollars-per-hour on hedge trimming also.

This one is pretty close to my company. A few things to add maybe. I also do drip irrigation installations for flower beds. Don't push it much though because I'm so busy with other stuff.

Hi:

New here and new to lawn care service. This site has been great for trying to get a view of things.

Will be offering some basic services for starters (mowing, shrubs, tree trimming, spring/fall clean ups, storm clean ups, gutter clean out, mulch spreading, sprinkler repair)...but my question is, after reading all of these posts, why isn't anyone offering pressure washing?

My real reason is that I've got a guy I refer everyone to for pressure washing, he does the same for me and gets me a good 40-50 gutter cleaning jobs a year plus some maintenance accounts & side jobs here & there. I've got a craftsman power washer to clean my trucks & equipment I got for a couple hundred bucks, but a commercial power washing setup is probably a couple grand, also I know its an insurance ad on to do power washing. It could be a great ad on service though if you have enough work for it

Im looking into adding K9 waste removal to my long list of services offered...
Im prety sure there is some good money in it:dancing:

One thing I offer that most around me dont, is drip system's..The poly above ground type...I know those quite well and am able to charge accordingly..Two days ago I did a dripsystem renovation on a older gentelman's yard..I was there for 3.5 hrs and walked away with $300...He commented on how reasonable the price was..

In New Mexico you have to have a contractors lisence to do all the fun stuff!! like concrete work, retaining walls, flagstone, sprinklers, etc...:cry:

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question (I'm a newb), but what do LCO's normally do if K9 waste removal is not in your services and the backyard is scattered with K9 waste? Just run the stuff over and charge them for manure mulch? :)
