Aeration Dethatching services course

No more struggling to get your employees to sell and perform aeration and dethatching services

Regardless of your terrain, selling these services that customers love to buy can be key to the profits you need  for long term sustainability.

I have never met a lawn care business owner that didn't want to sell aeration services.  Unfortunately, not all of them offer the service for sale.  Employees not wanting to sell the services because they don't want to have to do the services.  They don't want to do the services because with the wrong equipment it can be very hard on their bodies.  

Working around sprinkler heads and lines, steep slopes, rocky tertain, and drought can be reasons or excuses for not offering these services.  

We all agree that lawns need these services on a regular bases to be as healthy as possible.  Customers also know they need to buy these services.  They know the lawn needs it and they don't want to do it themselves.

 Research has shown that customers stay longer and refer more friends if they are buying more services. So why wouldn't we be booking these services everyday?


IIn this course we will talk about overcoming these issues.  I have worked with businesses in mountain areas with steep slopes and only a couple of inches of topsoil that had stopped selling aeration services "because they are just too big of a hassle and the guys hate doing them". 

This business now pitches liquid aeration services that they do at the same times as weed control.  Techs are happy, customers are happy, lawns are healthier and looking better, and profits are up.  

A Texas business I used to work with went from 68 aerations a year to over 300 in a year by changing equipment that the techs enjoyed using. 

This course will guide you through whatever is holding you back.  Stop leaving money on the table!

Liquid Products 

Using liquid products can allow you to offer services in situations where machines just are practical.  Liquid products can be mixed with most weed control or fertilizer sprays eliminating extra labor costs.  University studies have shown the right products can legitimately improve lawns like mechanical services. 

bundling Services

Amplify your profits and customer satisfaction by bundling these services with soil testing, soil pH adjustment, seeding, and adding sand or soil.

We had stopped selling aeration because of our rocky soils and shallow irrigation lines. Trying to get flags out to customers was a big hassle. We even started mailing the flags to customers.  We were down to 200 mechanical aerations with 1400 customers. After doing trials with soil conditioner as a substitute we called all our mechanical aeration customers and offered them 2 liquid services as a substitute for the same price. All but 7 said yes. Now we just add the product to their blanket lawn spray twice a year.  I feel guilty we are making so much money on this and it is so easy. Now we are recommending it to everyone and selling it like crazy.

Do I Need An Applicators License To Do These Services?

No, you do not need a Commercial Applicators License to do aeration, dethatching, power raking or verticutting services.

How Much Profit Can I Make?

These are very high profit services.  If you own your equipment your cost will only be labor.  If you rent equipment and a trailer, your profit is reduced. At $150 for an average lawn 4K sq ft that takes about 45 maximum from pull up to pull out your profit would be about $130 if you own your equipment, $115 if you rent a machine and trailer. Figure $100 an hour ( not including overhead). 

Do Liquid Products Really Work?

Yes, if you use the products I suggest in the course.  These products have been proven with university studies.  Use the product materials to show the clients with questions the proven outcomes.  Do a trial on half of your lawn and see for yourself and take before and after pictures to show others.

Personal Note

You can do this!   You owe it to yourself and your customers to overcome any reasons you have had not to do these services.  Besides the high profits, customer satisfaction, and the lawns looking better, you are setting up additional upsells.  Aeration goes hand in hand with seeding, and soil pH adjustments.  It just makes sense to your customers to have products or seed put into holes for better results. You will love seeing the lawns improve as your cash and customer satisfaction goes up.  Use the right equipment and reward sales and your employees will love these services too.  I have seen it happen again and again. 

Your Profit From One Service Will Pay For This Course

Even if you are currently offering these services, you will learn how to offer liquid services in the place of mechanical services.  Learn how to bundle services and which services make natural pairs.  Learn about walk behind, riding, and pull behind equpment and how to decided which is best for you.  Do you know the difference betwen aeration, dethatching, power raking, and verticutting and when to sell which?
