"Hi John,
The daughter of one customer asked for treatment. I've been advising them she needs a total lawn renovation, lawn is basically 80% moss, particularly at the back. That's how weed and feed came about and I've now offered it to other clients.…"

"As said there is no need to compete with the nationals you are a different business model and you will no doubt go the extra mile .
£50 is purely a percentage of achieving the exacting overall results your customers will expect for this bespoke…"

"Evening gents,
Thank you for everybody's response.
To clarify, I am not looking to compete with franchises across the country, that will never go down well. However, I do have a handful of customers, as they get to know me, becoming interested in…"

"Another way of looking at this is Michael is providing this service to his existing customers he does not have to compete on price he will be providing a more considered almost bespoke service which commands a premium price .

"There's no future in a race to the bottom on price we all know where that ends. Michael will not have the economies of scale that the nationals have who are paying national minimum wage to their workers.
Our businesses are about averaging say £45 hr…"

Ian Harvey replied to M Olsson's discussion Lawn Treatment

"I think that if you are trying to compete against the nationals, then you need to see what they do. From what I have seen, they typically spend no more than 10min per average size garden and use 1 handheld spreader worth of granular weed/feed. They…"

PGM replied to M Olsson's discussion Lawn Treatment

"The local lawn treatment to us starts from £15 per treatment and they seem very well reviewed. Some of the national franchises aren't that much more than that either so i'd guess a minimum price of £50 might be too high. Great if you can get it…"

Andrew Lowe replied to Andrew Lowe's discussion Toro Timemaster brake arm problem

"Thanks for your replies, I'll see if I can get the pulley off at the weekend. Hopefully if it is the bearing I can just replace that, but I've got a feeling I'll need to buy the whole assembly."

"Mine did a similar thing and it was a bearing on the pully that had gone."

Peter sellers replied to M Olsson's discussion Lawn Treatment

"Forget a drop spreader, useless. We don't do a lot of lawn treatment and have had numerous rotary spreaders , guess you won't want to spend a lot one of the best budget spreaders we are still using is the Cobra around £85 online we bought ours…"

David Benson replied to Andrew Lowe's discussion Toro Timemaster brake arm problem

"not familiar with toro but somthing is out of line have you checked the drive pully as the belt is hitting the brake arm and dosnot seem to be square"

David Benson replied to M Olsson's discussion Lawn Treatment

"use a wheeld brordcast spredder with a fert only then a backpack sprayer for any weed killer requierd, you will never get it right with a drop spreader "

Graham Taylor replied to M Olsson's discussion Lawn Treatment

"Never used a "drop spreader" but I'd guess they take much longer compared to a wheeled rotary that I always use. Where I have seenthem used, not been very successful with lines of burnt patches! The fertilzer "Evergreen" I use costs about £25…"

Adam Pilgrim replied to M Olsson's discussion Lawn Treatment

"A lot of variable here.
Unfortuately I think you may have little uptake at that price bracket given what some of the national franchises charge....
Drop spreaders have their place, as do rotary (wheeled) and rotary (hand) spreaders. Some products…"

Lawn Treatment

Hi All, I've been asked to offer lawn treatment for many of my customers. I've quoted £50 for anything below 300sqm which is probabaly a bit steep maybe? But that includes product itself, application and watering if needed. How do you price granular…
