Great lawn care isn’t just about straight lines and tidy edges—it’s about how you communicate with your customers 💬. The most successful contractors aren’t just the best at mowing—they’re the best at building trust 🤝.
It starts with the basics:
show up when you say you will ⏰
keep your vehicle clean 🚚, and look presentable
🧼. Learn your customers’ names and use them.
A simple wave 👋 or friendly chat can go a long way.
Texting can make all the difference 📲—sending a quick reminder before you arrive, a payment prompt after the job 💵, or a delay notice if needed ⚠️. It keeps expectations clear and avoids frustration.
Don’t make customers chase you 🕵️. Return missed calls promptly and always speak positively 😊. They don’t need to hear about your bad day. You never know what they’re going through ❤️.
Finally, make sure your customers know what else you offer 🛠️. So many lawn businesses lose work simply because they never mention that they also trim hedges 🌿, spray weeds 🚿, or offer garden tidy-ups 🍂.
Small touches like these build long-term relationships. Communication isn’t a chore—it’s a tool 🔧.
