Hello All

[JWFAILS]

I have learned that residential customers seem to prefer one provider for services. I think they like to limit the number of service personel on there property. Therefore, I want to offer a one stop shop to include mowing, fertilization, disease control, insect control, top dressing, aerating, etc. The best skill that I have picked up from my other business is the ability to diagnose lawn problems and be able to offer solutions. I am licensed for herbicides, insecticides and fertilizer. I go to turf clinics and do online classes to stay up to date on the latest chemicals and turf practices etc. I offer soil testing as well as turf testing for funguses and other diseases. By offering all theses services I think I can maximize my revenue per customer, thereby, reducing the time and money spent on constantly trying to add new customers.

That is very important to know!

Going through the franchise experience, would you ever want to create your own franchise? Is that something you ever considered? What's your view on that?
