If your stomach is in knots, your hands feel sweaty, and you’re practicing the Big Speech, you must be about to break up with your lawn care service.
What was the last straw? All the weeds in your lawn? They won’t call you back? They made a bunch of promises they never kept?
You deserve better. Also, have some ice cream. It helps with all breakups.
How do you know it’s time for a new lawn care service? Here are some signs:
You had such high hopes for this lawn care service. A greener, healthier lawn. Fewer weeds. A lawn that wouldn’t embarrass you when your friends came over.
When you don’t see results, it’s really frustrating. Time for a new lawn care company.
But be fair about it. It can take some time to see the results of your lawn care service’s work. Improvement doesn’t happen overnight.
If your lawn really needs help, give it three to four months before you notice it’s greener, has fewer weeds, and just looks better.
Remember, your own lawn care habits play a big part, too, including proper mowing and watering.
All in all, it could take anywhere from a few months to a couple of years to get your lawn where you want it.
So, give things a fair chance before you cancel over this one.
It’s not that hard to pick up the phone. Or call somebody back.
So when you can’t reach anybody at your lawn care company, it drives you crazy.
Also, is it too much trouble to let you know when they’re coming over? It shouldn’t be.
It’s just common courtesy to let somebody know before you come to their house.
Then, boom, they’re there, before you’ve had a chance to round up the kids from the swing set or shoo the dogs inside.
Bad communication is really annoying. Time to change your lawn care service.
This is the worst.
You’re waiting for your lawn care service to show up. (Insert sound of fingers tapping on the table.) And waiting. And waiting.
Ugh! They never showed. And you have much better things to do than stare out the window and hope.
It’s hard to believe, right? But it happens more often than you think.
You expect your lawn care company to be experts in lawn care. It only makes sense, right?
When’s the best time to seed? Are you watering enough? How can you prevent weeds?
You deserve answers, and helpful information to keep your lawn looking great.
Hopefully, your new lawn service will have them.
Apparently, your lawn service was there. Did they fertilize? Kill weeds? Check for grubs?
Who knows? You’re in the dark, unless they tell you. And they should.
You’re breaking up: Now what?
Here’s your handy three-step break-up guide:
Before you fire your lawn care company, give them a chance to make things right.
You can have a new company on standby, but don’t officially switch to another lawn care service before you cancel your current service — and have proof of the cancellation.
Your current company might still show up, even after you cancel. Or they might not refund your money.
You don’t want two invoices.
Get written confirmation that you’ve canceled so you won’t get further charges.
A new relationship is always exciting!
Just make sure your new company won’t let you down.
If they don’t ask about your concerns, how will you know they’ll fix them?
The little details can make a big difference, right?
RainMaster technicians physically call you on the phone after we’re done on your property, to tell you what we just did.
Just a quick phone call. But it’s rare in our industry. And it keeps you in the know.
When RainMaster technicians show up to aerate and overseed your lawn, you won't need to worry about your sprinkler heads or adjusting your controller for new seed. If we have access to the controller, we’ll take care of that for you.
No charge.
You should expect the best. You should get what you pay for. You should be able to communicate with your lawn care service. You should get your questions answered.
They should make things easy.
Breaking up is no fun. The good part? Starting a new relationship with a company that gets you.
