I get a lot of flyers about lawn service taped to my mailbox. They all say “Mow, edge & blow” with a clip art picture of mower on the top right. Some have a color image of a green lawn. On occasion, a smiling picture of teenager.

So when I randomly poked 4 letters on the keyboard & pulled a Michigan lawn service, I wasn’t shocked to see the same thing.

Overall: Pretty good. As a homeowner, these address the pain points I feel every weekend.

Lessons: I used 5 sites for reference and continued to pull from reviews. Apologies to the females here, but I consciously focused on men. That’s who the reviews were from and, in my experience, tend to be the decision makers for this particular service. Though, it would be interesting to make one entirely geared toward females…

…Hmm

Maybe another post.

Note about #77. That’s not a knock! I have the utmost respect for hard-workers. Several friends in college studied turf management. This line was based on recurring conversations they had with strangers. 

Time: Roughly 1:05. The first 30 flowed quickly, followed by 70+ a few hours later. This felt easier. Less time referring to formulas & more pulling from experience. Maybe because I had the Scissorhands piece under my belt. Total coincidence, by the way.

If you think you could use any of this, feel free! I’d love to hear about it in the comments.
