Arriving at the Property

Running estimates can be time consuming for many industries. One advantage of the chemical lawn care business, in particular, is that our estimates can be done fast, efficiently and effectively. Your average residential lawn feeding estimate, using a standard measuring wheel, should only take 8 minutes.

When doing any estimate, it is very important for both you and your potential customer that it is accurate. The price quote should reflect the property's true square footage. The estimate should clearly describe which services you are providing and the cost of each for your proposed program. The penalty for an inaccurate estimate in this industry is greater than in others because you are basically married to the price, so get it right! An overly high estimate may cost you a potential customer, but a low estimate of a property's square footage could lose you money 5 to 6 times a year.
