What happens here

Crack and crevice weed control is the third upsell. This service focuses on eliminating weeds from hardscapes like driveways and sidewalks, and carefully from flower beds. It directly addresses a common nuisance for property owners and is particularly valuable for commercial clients. While it requires chemical licensing, it typically involves only one or two specific glyphosate-based products (professional alternatives to consumer Roundup). The necessary equipment is minimal: a 3-gallon hand can or a backpack sprayer. For larger operations, a 25 or 50-gallon nurse tank can be added to the truck to pre-mix chemicals. Pricing for this service is usually hourly, allowing for time spent mixing chemicals and acquiring materials.

Goal: Understand how to offer crack and crevice weed control, including licensing, equipment, and pricing.

company can start to look at to Vel their business further yes so I think the next one that's that's logical that again it's not going to require you to change the configuration of your truck much would be what I call cracken crevice or right away um CRA and crevice is really the right way it's just Roundup shots right you're not going to use Roundup you're going to use another glyphosate product a professional product but you can or you can use Roundup Pro but whatever you can get but crack and crevice so now we're going to spray weeds in the cracks of the driveway in the sidewalks we're going to spray uh weeds carefully in beds these are things that people definitely need it's a nuisance to them and it's solves a problem for them and then I also think it's a great add-on for commercial properties um again it there's some licensing there now but it's really only one or two products that you need to become familiar with and it's literally probably a hand a three gallon hand can maybe a backpack sprayer and maybe a 25 or 50 gallon nurse tank on your truck and you're set and you're good to go you premix in the morning so not a lot of chemical storage either with that so that would be a nice add-on after that and what are we going to charge for 3 3500 a foot yard alen yeah so in that case I think we need to go by hourly really uh because there you can't really measure linear feet too well cuz you never know what's going to be growing so you just pick whatever your hourly rate is it's $75 an hour and you and say a couple times a year it takes you 10 minutes to walk the property and spray then you can kind of price it accordingly that way nice so then next I would say get into full-blown fertilizing and wheat controlling you
