Who's going to pay 900 bucks an account?

[MASTERMOWER]

So what? You spend around half a year just working to pay for the accounts? Factor in other overhead and you'd make nothing the first year...........

These are Lawn CARE not Lawn Service accounts. You must not know the difference. Yes Lawn Care Accounts, industry standard are worth 75 to 125 % of a years gross income depending on the quality. I have sold Lawn Care account at that price.

Dream - Don't you KNOW, there is nothing and we mean nothing that Mr Ric. does not know or at least have an opinionated opinion that appears to be very wise and informative. Coemes from years of sitting in front of the computer.

Lawn Care refers to pest control companies that fertilize and pesticide accounts. Weed and grub control is but a small important part of that care. Landscape care is also part of that care. TrueGreen & Chemlawn were the leaders in starting the Lawn Care business and buying Accounts is part of their business model for growth. Lawn Service refers to yard boys who cut grass and trim bushes.

Understanding and using industry vernacular is the first step to becoming a professional. Keep drinking and maybe some day you can get off the short bus.

Are you sure a fert and squirt can average over 1k per year per account. It has to be more the fert and pest. Just because you may think you know the right terms, dosen't mean the person placing this add dose.

Short ribs

You are not one upmanshipping me. That just is the company name they selected. Doesn't mean it is correct. Look at how many lawn boys call themselves landscapers, yet they don't even know the name of the grass they cut let alone any plant names. They have never done a plant replacement let alone a design and install, yet they call themselves landscapers.

BTW I have Many accounts that pay way over $ 900 a year. in fact my minimum of $ 75 times our 12 month season is a standard price. That is 6 treatments on the turf and 6 treatment the shrubs. I throw in inside pest control for free as a extra bonus and that is $ 360 a years service by other pest companies. If I do a great job outside I don't have problems inside and no need to treat inside. I am not the highest priced guy in my area either.

Just to let you know TruGreen Chemlawn was one company and trugreen let go of chemlawn So they are now TruGreen Lawn Care

Ah, yes. As expected Mr Ric. you have responded with the usual boring insult remembered as funny from bygone days. You must be a very angry, small man.
