With the environment changing daily in the headlines from inflation, one thing has stayed constant, demand for a first-class lawn that is easy to take care of. This is and has still been the goal, though this doesn’t come easy. There are many challenges facing this industry such as economic hurdles or the cost of raw materials. With the housing market still going up and down like a rollercoaster across the country, the demand for lawn care services is through the roof.

The Tools You Need

We have an experienced team, at your disposal, that can help pull all the information you need together for you and lay out a plan to deliver that “first-class” lawn. There are many new tools and products we offer at Harrell’s to help plan out a program to efficiently achieve your goals.

·         We have an annual program system that can help create a Good, Better, Best scenario for your goals and budgets.

·         One trend we have seen this past year is utilizing POLYON® Controlled-Release Fertilizer to get you from monthly to bimonthly applications. Saving time, money, and labor.

·         Others have taken advantage of our 30-0-0 Liquid Tall Turf product, adding to tank mixes to give the turf a little spoon-feeding of nutrients while applying herbicides, etc.
