Key Takeaways
Always prepare the soil correctly for seeding to ensure good germination and yield, as improper prep leads to poor results.
Consider renting specialized equipment like aerators on weekends; small rental places may allow you to keep equipment for the entire weekend, maximizing profitability.
For seeding, aerate first to break up the soil, then mow to mulch the cores (which acts as top-dressing), and finally overseed.
Don't be conservative with seed; spread a generous amount to avoid patchy areas and the need for costly callbacks.
Invest in quality, versatile tools like the Echo Pro Commercial Grade 10-position articulating shafted hedge trimmer for multiple ancillary services like hedge trimming and bed redefinition.
Price ancillary services strategically; for bed defining, consider charging per linear foot, such as $2 per foot, to ensure profitability and fair compensation.
Maintain your trimmers by greasing the heads at least twice a year to prevent gearbox issues and prolong equipment life.
