Like a lot of Cincinnati, Dayton, OH, or Northern KY homeowners, when the temperatures begin to drop and you start spending less time outside, you may start thinking about your lawn less often. The “off-season” for lawn care is the winter months when the lawn goes into dormancy.

While your lawn might not require any treatments, it’s during this time that you might want to start thinking about lawn care package deals for the upcoming spring. The season typically starts in March and for most people, that sneaks up pretty fast!

Here are a few reasons why thinking about lawn care deals in the off-season can pay off later.

The phrase “company culture,” gets thrown around so much these days that it’s hard to truly believe the claims surrounding them anymore. Surely, every company out there can’t have this fantastic team culture that they boast about.

Whether you’ve recently applied or interviewed for any jobs—or maybe you’ve worked somewhere—you’ve likely heard managers or owners talk about how great their team culture is—even if it’s really not.

Are you someone who has worked mowing jobs in the past? Or, perhaps you’re currently searching for mowing jobs in Cincinnati, OH? Whether you’ve considered a career outside of mowing before or not, we find that many folks who have worked in mowing can be incredibly successful as a lawn care technician. And there are reasons why you might find it more appealing and rewarding.

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.

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.
