Ideally, your reputation can be spread through word of mouth, which for most clients is a more trustworthy than reading sales blitzes in printed matters left in doorsteps. Top notch customer service is one way that you can get your clients to promote your business to their friends and associates for free.

Be consistent in marketing your lawn care business to maintain your sales growth. If you have a strong marketing plan and carry it out consistently then you will ensure your lawn care business a certain level of success and may find yourself in 'greener pastures' compared to your competitors.
