Discuss current lawn condition, service frequency (weekly/biweekly), add-ons (fertilization, irrigation), sustainability preferences.
01Walk property, note grass type, thatch, compaction, weeds/disease, sun/shade, irrigation coverage, edges/obstacles, access gates/pets.
02Written proposal: scope, visit cadence, seasonal treatments, pricing, start date, terms, sustainability practices.
03Create property map (no-mow zones, beds), note hazards, schedule first visit (baseline clean-up if needed), stage materials (mulch, fertilizer).
04Reset lawn to standard. Mow to correct height for grass type, edge/trim, remove debris, light dethatch if needed, prune small shrubs, bed edging, mulch touch-ups.
05Build turf health. Soil test results → pH correction (lime/sulfur), fertilization program, pre/post-emergent weed control, spot disease/pest treatment, aeration/overseeding (seasonal).
06Weekly during peak growth; biweekly off-season (climate dependent). Each visit mow, edge, trim, blow hard surfaces, quick weed pull in beds, visual irrigation check, note issues.
07Proactive communication. Monthly QA walk (or photo audit), turf health score, irrigation efficiency notes, recommendations.
