Here is an article that is both educational to the homeowner and promotional for the LCO. Have you ever thought of putting together an article on fall or spring lawn care and using it as a tool to promote your company as well?
Have you ever seen another lco in the area do this?
Laying the groundwork (http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/napervillesun/business/80449,6_3_NA02_LAWNS_S1.article) - Cooler weather seems to be the most common signpost that summer is ending and, with it, the culmination of another growing season. And while vegetable and flower gardens have already had their day, lawns continue to need mowing and feeding until a lasting frost renders them dormant, awaiting next year.
Before stowing away your mower and trimmer for the last time, experts say there are a number of important steps to complete this season to ensure a strong and healthy lawn next spring.
John Desitter, owner of First Impressions Services in Downers Grove, said fall lawn care should include fertilizing, overseeding, aeration and weed control.
"Fall is probably the best time of the year to do things to your lawn," Desitter said. "You should start with a 'winterizer' lawn application and also put down weed control to kill whatever is growing now or might come up in the spring."
