April is National Lawn Care Month

April 6th, 2019 by

April is National Lawn Care Month.

Spring is in the air and we are all thrilled to get out and smell the roses.
Of course we need to plant them first.

At the Filhaber Home, we are getting ready for Spring!

We just pressure-cleaned our roof, gutters, patio & walkways, and had the exterior of our home re-painted (and boy does that look good!). Our lawn has been fertilized and our new spring/summer plantings should be installed next week.

This is a key time for businesses in the lawn & pest industry, pool & patio, gutter cleaning, and painting & remodeling should be marketing – marketing – marketing because this is the time that freshening up their great outdoors is on the mind of every Homeowner.

And, home service businesses – don’t forget the importance of reaching out to New Homeowners. They don’t have established relationships with home service professionals – yet. Make sure you contact them before the competition!

Mail – Call them – or stop by homes in your area and introduce yourself. Your job is to market-market-market during National Lawn Care month. This way you can guarantee yourself a great season.

National Lawn Care Month is also a great for your social media. This is an ideal opportunity for you to highlight the benefits of natural grass in your community.
