Dealing with poor soil

[weezerguy]

I live in an area that has piss poor soil to say the least. I have no weekly accounts, every one of my customers are bi weekly. I just started offering fertilization programs [minus ones that have weed killers in them] this month. Any advice to help eliminate this problem to promote more revenue?

Dumping a bunch of fertilizer onto someone's lawn, without knowing the actual problem, will likely cause more problems than it solves.

A good first step to knowing what your customer needs is a soil test. Soil testing educates so you can define a proper solution.

What state are you in? I can help you find a testing facility in your area.

Being knowledgeable about your lawns will impress your customers and bring you much more business.
