The Oasis Lawn & Tree Care Blog

Although there are plenty of lawn care services in Cincinnati, Dayton, OH, and Northern Kentucky that would prefer you didn’t know this, mergers and acquisitions are an everyday part of doing business in the lawn care industry.

In fact, it’s not uncommon for lawn care business owners to be focused on growing their customer base with the sole purpose of selling your business off to the highest bidder—quite often a large national franchise.

We’re peeling back the curtain to reveal how this happens regularly—and why it might not be the ideal scenario for you, the customer.

There are a lot of great reasons why you should consider hiring a professional lawn care company. If you’ve tackled DIY lawn care in the past, or maybe you’ve hired a company that hasn’t given you the results you were after, then you recognize that it can be more complicated than you might have first imagined.

That’s why your choice in Cincinnati lawn care services is so important. The company that you choose will directly impact the results you can expect.

Call center jobs can be appealing for a number of reasons. If you’re a “people person” who likes the idea of helping people over the phone, it can sound like a great fit.

However, a lot of folks who end up taking call center jobs in Cincinnati, Ohio ultimately find that it can be a lot more stressful—and a lot less appealing—than it may have originally sounded.

In fact, here at Oasis Turf & Tree, we’ve had a number of people on our team trade in their call center jobs for a career that they ended up loving with us.

From a young age, Adam Zellner says that he could remember always wanting to follow in his father’s footsteps and enter into the restaurant industry. It was a career path that seemed fun and exciting and despite his father’s warnings about long hours and hitting a career wall, as soon as Adam was old enough to go to work, he got a job bussing tables.

In fact, he was so eager to jump into the working world, he got started on his 15th birthday.

In many ways, the Internet has made searching for service providers easier than ever. Instead of being relegated to only those companies that you see out and about in your neighborhood or those within a few miles, an online search opens up your possibilities. This is certainly true when it comes to searching for a lawn care company in the Cincinnati, Dayton, OH, or Northern Kentucky area.

Even so, we find that many folks search for “lawn care near me,” and still end up choosing from a somewhat limited list.

Lori Wittwer never imagined that she’d end up in the lawn care industry. It’s just not something she ever knew much about or imagined being part of. After graduating from high school, the Loveland, Ohio native went to school for cosmetology.

But after a year in a salon, Lori realized she was allergic to some of the products and had to find a new career path. During that time, Lori says she held several different jobs but never found anything she was passionate about.

As consumers, we are surrounded by options. A quick trip to the local big box store or even a search on Amazon reveals so many different products that it can be hard to choose. In fact, psychologists have come up with a name for the overwhelming feeling that comes from having so many choices—”overchoice”.

If you feel like you’re experiencing overchoice in trying to choose the best lawn fertilizer, we understand your frustration. With so many options out there, it’s really difficult to know what’s best.

The last thing you want to do is make a poor choice that will lead to poor results as that’s just a big waste of money.

Whether you’re someone who is looking for tree and shrub technician jobs or you’re a homeowner who is thinking about hiring a plant health care technician to take care of your trees and shrubs, you might be wondering what kind of training goes into this work.

The truth is, the answer to that is going to vary dramatically from company to company. While there’s not a lot required in terms of what the state says we must do, we believe the more training a technician receives, the better they’re able to perform the work. That means that when our technicians earn advanced certifications, they become a tremendous asset to us—and to you.

We only have one Earth as our home. For that reason, we find that more people than ever are paying closer attention to ways that they can protect and improve their environmental impact.

But what about their decision to hire a lawn care company? Is lawn care bad for the environment?

The short answer is no—if you choose a company that is being environmentally conscious in the way that they perform their services. Even better, you might want to choose a company that even implements eco-friendly practices into their daily business operations.

Timing is everything. You’ve likely heard this said many times before and can come up with a variety of ways that it applies to your life. So, you shouldn’t be surprised that it also applies to lawn care. 

Amongst your timing questions, you might be wondering whether you should kill weeds before seeding or if one time of year is ultimately better than another. Should you wait?
