If you are talking about lawn weed and feed programmes for domestic customers, then you need a lot of customers to make it pay well.
We do all year round garden maintenance services and up-sell lawn treatments, aeration and scarifying to some customers.
It can be a nice little add-on. If you do the aeration and scarifying early Winter - early Spring, it can help fill in the the less busy period.
A way to price lawn treatments is to cost the amount of material + labour then multiply that by 3.
12 hours a week at a wedding venue which is doing all sorts.
Two biggish places where the customers do a lot, I mainly do the grass there but help out with all sorts too which includes all the way through winter.
I then have a days worth of just lawn mowing and 3 customers of border maintenance.
I know I could make more just grass cutting but I quite like the variation.
I am getting used to what I don't want to do though so I'll probably adapt and streamline as I go on.
