What is the best way to advertise my new lawn care business?
Try community news papers. I advertise in two papers, each with a circulation of around 44,000. The biggest problem with newspaper ads is that they tend to have a wide area that they cover.
Leaflets or doorhangers will target the areas you want (maybe close to home or well-to-do communities down the road). I have also had success with community notice boards.
Signage on your trailer is very good, but some owners don't realize that because they don't get approached in the street very often. What happens is people see your advertisement in the paper and think "I have seen him around the corner or up the street and he does a great job" and then gives you a call.

Lawn Mower Accessories
You can find lawn mower accessories in different sizes and shapes. Most of these accessories are additions to the usual mower rider. Usually, lawnmowers comes without any safety supplement for the operator. They must be bought by the customer. A good example is the canopy that will protect the operator from the sun. These gardening additions use to be quite expensive, because they actually need to be attached to the mower’s deck or push bar. In order to secure them it might require any extra mower’s modification, increasing then the price of the supplement itself.

Switching From Conventional to Natural Organic Lawn Care
The first step in switching from conventional to natural organic lawn care is to assess the quality of the existing lawn.
