[@LawnCrack]

Thank you Francis!

[@woodguyty3228]

Awesome couldn’t find a video like this out there, thanks!

[@LawnCrack]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dextert8]

Great video. This is something I have been interested in getting into for current mowing clients but I never really knew where to start.

[@LawnCrack]

Thanks Tommy. It's definitely something to put some thought into!

[@kungfury6410]

Great video! I'm in Kentucky and will be taking the test. I had to call because I wasn't sure if I only needed to study for Category 3, but it seems pretty straight forward.

[@jeffsproles9701]

I’m looking to start up soon any advice would be appreciated

[@impresslawncare610]

I like your honesty man. Thanks a lot. I am thinking to get into it. I live in PA, I got my study materials all ready. I practice for the last two years on my lawn and the results are AMAZING. I want to go smaller (just me) at least for now. Any particular guideline? Thanks man.

Have you ever worked as a bar back at Rhinstones?

[@DavidRasool-n3k]

I stay in Cincinnati that’s crazy I’m trying to get into treatment and fertilization can you show me what I need to do

Good info

[@russellboyd2975]

Thinking about a walk behind. I see you are running one and sit down mower. What makes you grab the walk behind over the sit down? Thanks

[@LawnCrack]

We basically use the zero turn whenever possible as it mows a larger area in a shorter period of time - bigger deck and faster speed... The walk-behind is great for smaller lawns and can fit in more gates. We also have lots of slopes in our area, obviously, the walk-behind is much safer on hills. I made a video on this years ago too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5bCYqt-bL-bebs

@@LawnCrack thank you. 👍👍

[@curtisbunney9010]

Do you offer SEO services for all types of business? Or just lawn care?

[@LawnCrack]

I'm comfortable working with almost any type of business that serves clients near their business. I'm currently working with a lawyer, a veterinarian, a physical therapist, a piano store, an HVAC company, tree services, power washing services, an urgent care facility, and an art gallery outside the typical L&L realm.

Thanks for the vid bro!

[@LawnCrack]

You're very welcome Larry!

[@colbybrengle]

I was wondering, can you lay anything under the mulch to prevent weed growth as well as using pre merchant ?

[@LawnCrack]

Look into 'weed barrier fabric.' There are lots of options. I am personally not a fan of using it under mulch because the mulch will break down on top of the fabric and weeds can once again grow... Some people still swear by it though. I do agree with using it when installing decorative rock instead of mulch since the rock won't break down.

Hello, I’m a little up north (Illinois) and also have heard about angies list. How has your experience been with that! I have heard negative things.

[@enriquefernandez6782]

Negative

[@AlabanzasyAdoración7]

how much you charge to train people?

[@Aepic_mansa]

Hey what’s your contact could I book a 30 min consultation with you for more knowledge?

[@LawnCrack]

I've tried this in the past and just don't have a passion for it. I'd reach out to your local commercial fertilization and weed control product supplier. They tend to have some knowledgeable guys at those places that are happy to share anything and everything they can so you can buy more of their product! Around here we have Advanced Turf Solutions and SiteOne for example.

Do you need a license to spray weed control

[@sundaeeeeeee]
