Recommened pro lawn treatment products

Hi all,

I'm doing my PA1/6 course soon and want to offer a full lawn treatment service, as opposed to just mowing and edging that I do now.

I understand the treatments and timings (occasionally use off the shelf B&Q products the customer buys) and how to scarify and aerate I just don't know the best products that a professional lawn care company would use.

What does everyone on here use? I've been looking at Pitchcare as a supplier but there's a huge choice.

Also, what applicator do you use? They range from £30 - £300.

cheers

Justin

Spreader costs do vary. Having done thousands of treatments with professional products I could only recommend broadcast spreaders, hence I now only sell them types. It's quite right to watch patios if the fertiliser contains Fe, the rust stains don't come off! The hand spreaders are good for smaller lawns.

Which spreader would you recommend for my circumstances?

I do small to medium lawns on private properties so lots of borders, paths patios etc. close to the lawn.

Could you do a deal on a spreader and sprayer to suit - 1 man setup, for occasional use

cheers

Justin

At present we don't do the chemicals, will do soon.

Sorry missed what you said.

A medium range broadcast spreader, may be an Earthway 2600a / 2150.
