I try to write articles based on the questions I get via email and on the phone. I had receved several about doing sod jobs and a couple about weeds. Particuraly Dandelions and Crabgrass.
Here’s the latest articels I’ve posted:
Dandelions- How to control
Getting Rid of Crabgrass
Measuring and Installing Sod
Pricing a Sod Job
Different Types of Sod
I’m working on some other articles to answer questions I received in the past few weeks. I’ll post them over the next day or so…

I’ve been working hard to finish up our first 4 lawn care / landscaping DVD’s. We are just about done.
They are:
1. Landscaping basics (This DVD covers us doing planning with the software we use to do before and after shots, the basic install, etc)
2. Low Voltage Landscape Lighting. (This DVD covers us doing an install, goes over tips, tricks, etc)
3. Irrigation Installation (This DVD Covers us doing an install of an irrigation system at a new house. Includes planning, layout, installation, testing, etc)
4. Pavers (This DVD Covers us doing an install at a new construction job site from start to finish)
I’ll start posting samples of each over the next few days. Stay Tuned!
All the DVD’s are 1 to 1 1/2 hours long and are really cool (if I do say so myself)
Thanks!

A logo can really help your lawn care or landscaping business stand out from the competition.
Your logo can be serious looking, a cartoon style, or even a simple single color logo. It really doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you have one!
With all the competition out there, you don’t have an excusel not to be as professional looking as you can be.
Get out there and get your lawn business a professional logo today!
Here’s a fun video I made about logos.

I get asked quite a bit about buying or selling a lawn care business (or how to buy or sell accounts)
I’ve made a short video sharing some thoughts on this.
Thanks!

I’ve just posted an article on Perennials, Annuals, and Biennials
It covers the basics.
More coming soon. I’m just about done with the HUGE flower directory I’ve been working on.
Actually the writing part is done but I don’t have time to take all the photos of each flower (plus some aren’t native to where I live).
Anyway… I’ll do my best to get it all up in the next week or so.

I’ve just posted three new articles about Crepe Myrtles, Hydrangeas, and Petunias.
I’m working to get a directory of plants set up before long that will let you search by plant, zone, etc. I’ll post as soon as it’s done. This will allow you to comment on plants, see pictures, see what zones they are best for and more….
Thanks!

We’ve added the ability to search LawnCare-Business.com. The new search feature is at the bottom of the main page as well as all of our articles.
If you’re looking for something that you can’t find, give the search a try!
