Soil Testing and Amending Are The Backbone of Lawn Care Services And May Be The Most Important Services You Ever Sell Your Customers

I believe every new customer lawn should start with a soil test. At least a pH test with a probe at minimum. Soil testing is equal to a doctor ordering blood tests. Soil tests give you a report of the current status of the soil. It will be your baseline. You will need that baseline to apply the proper amount of fertilizer. The pH will determine how much of those nutrients are available for use.

Once you have the pH of the soil, you are ready to sell pH adjustment services. The sell through percentage rate for pH services is 75-85%. Just do the testing, and the rest sells itselft. I will show you how in this soil services course.

Doesn't it take a lot of time to do soil testing?

No, you can do testing when you are already there. Services like pH adments and soil conditioning can be done with fertilization and weed control services, aeration, or better yet, done in the fall when things are slow.

Do I need a lot of equipment?

Except for a soil probe for pH testing ($100) you probably already have all the equipment you need. Depending on your customer size and average lawn size you will just need a sprayer and/or commercial spreader.

Will customers buy these services?

Soil testing and pH adjustment or maintenance are easy to sell when you explain the benefits to a customer. After you get the results, other services will make sense for them to buy and sell themselves. You will see that when you take the course.
