    I did Mark i looked into a few years ago as an add on service but the bloody chemicals were pritty xe .

    Yanks do it alot to make resorts hotels etc look pritty and they use more colors than green especially in the drought areas .

    when I use to work on golf courses, they would regularly use Iron Sulphate to give the greens a nice green colour.

    I've seen on TV when the US Masters golf tournament is played they use green sand in all the divots taken from the fairways and tees.

    Hey guys here is a yard I cleaned up recently, very over grown. Was for a friend so charged enough not too make him soil his pants but made it worth my while!

    They look at you funny when you try to explain if they want a cheaper price don't let it get so bad before you call in the professionals!

    Good job B2B. I love the way ppl respond when they see what you have accomplished. I do these in a similar way to you but slash it first then rake and then mow once then do edges and clean up and then do final pass.

    My offsider and I have got these down pat but they are filthy jobs. I make sure they are good earners if we do them. I find most ppl will take the first quote they get as they are pretty desperate to get things done.

    I have one client who does not touch her lawn in 6 months until it is forest then gets us back in. I keep telling her it would be cheaper to let us do it regularly but she won't do it.
    Cheers

    Vacants lots... seem to do that a lot, give them a monthly or quarterly price and show them it's cheaper. And it keeps the neighbours happy!
