What happens here

The final and most comprehensive upsell is offering a full fertilizing and weed control program. This service presents the highest barrier to entry due to more extensive chemical licensing requirements and a deeper understanding of various products, including nitrogen rates and application timings. However, if a business has already implemented the previous upsells (aeration, overseeding, crack and crevice control), they would likely already possess some chemical licensing and comfort with spray equipment. The primary remaining challenge involves reconfiguring the truck setup to accommodate larger nurse tanks and specialized application equipment for full lawn treatments. It is recommended to take state-offered licensing courses to gain comprehensive knowledge, even if passing the test is achievable.

Goal: Understand the full scope of offering comprehensive lawn care programs, including advanced licensing and equipment needs.

Tools and materials

  • Nurse Tanks — Storing large volumes of pre-mixed fertilizer and herbicide for application
  • Specialized Spray Equipment — Applying liquid fertilizers and herbicides to large lawn areas

fertilizing and wheat controlling you know that's where the barrier entry is probably the largest but if you've done some of these other ones already now you're already licensed um and and you might have to get some more specialty licensing but you're already licensed you got the general pest test out of the way so that barrier is already out you already feel comfortable with spray equipment you've already learned a lot during your um licensing period And I I want to say this I always recommend if you're going to get licensed at your state chemist or at the a department or whoever Department of bag whoever does it to take their course they all offer a course and you should take it even if you can pass the test take the course you'll learn a lot from it so you gain confidence now so actually getting in and carrying fertilizer and figuring out your program that's going to work for you and understanding nitrogen rates and things like that it won't be as big of a barrier to entry I think the biggest thing at that point would be again reconfiguring your truck setup because now you're you're into some pretty major equipment depending on your average law size so you're going to be able to get all this information we covered in the
