www.StartALawnCareBusiness.com You may be wondering how you can make more money with your lawn care business by bidding on larger scale contracts and city & government contracts in your local area. I want to go over a code of conduct form with you. This is not a bid-specific form but it does give you a code of conduct so you can learn how you can bid on upcoming jobs. Proposal Forms I want to highlight a few finer points of this contract bidding instruction booklet. The first point is the Proposal Forms. Most bidding packets come with a series of bidding forms. You must complete the bidding forms that come with the bidding packet. Do not fill in your own forms or simply write your prices on a sheet of paper. Your bids may be rejected if you fill them out on anything but the bidding forms that come with your bidding packet. Late Bids: Make sure you get your bids in on time. If you are late on a bid, the purchasing agent will, most likely, reject your bid. I have seen lawn care companies attempt to turn their bid packets in 2 minutes after the bid-closing times and the purchasing agents have rejected those bids. 9:00AM means 9:00AM and not 1 minute after 9:00. Acceptance of a bid is a violation of the request for proposal and could cause the job to be rebid. I like to submit time sensitive bids a couple days in advance. Rushing to get your bid in at the last minute will cause you to make mistakes. Taking your time with bid preparation allows you to calculate your prices …

Question by treehuggersgarden: What’s a good price for lawn aeration/thatching?
I started a lawn service a year or so ago, and am looking into doing aerations and thatchings in the fall. My average lawn size is 6,000 SqFt, and I’ll be renting the machines.

Best answer:

Answer by Just me
For here (Denver) a normal price for aeration $ 40.00 plus,as for power raking I get “time on job” @ $ 35.00 an hour.

For 6,000 sq ft I would charge somewhere in the vicinity.

1) $ 100.00 (aeration)
2) $ 125.00 (power raking)
3) $ 25.00 a man hour for clean up.IE 3 men @ $ 25.00 X 3 hours = $ 75.00.

Keep in mind I’m supporting a family,paying Lib. Ins. and the awful price of gas.I pay just $ 7,000.00 just to dig dirt and another $ 4,000.00 Lib. Ins. beyond that.These prices are of course passed along to the end user.

There are so many times I get caught in the thought it should only cost this and end up losing money.Remember it’s the end product that counts.If I could have seen the future a few years back I would have doubled my prices then.

To coin a phrase “it is what it is”

Sorry,My Best

Question by Hawkeye4077: Lawn care…?
Our lawn has a lot of weeds, so much that once I kill them, I’ll need to put seed down to grow new grass just to keep up the green color. What would be the best way to attack this situation? (Our dog isn’t allowed in the front yard where the problem is, and we have no kids)

Best answer:

Answer by r&s mom
well it depends. I hired a lawn company(which you need to look into – its not much more expensive than buying the chemicals and doing it yourself) Anyway I just decided to live with the bare lawn. Well this was just last summer and by this Spring what little grass I had, has spread and covered the entire lawn

Bertha is easy. With water types and grass types WHICH YOU SHOULD HAVE ON YOUR TEAM, this will be a snap. I’m not going to dwell on a boring person like Bertha, she has a ton of weaknesses and that’s all there is to it. Elite Four Bertha Specialty Ground Whiscash Level 50 Water/Ground Earth Power Aqua Tail Zen Headbutt Sandstorm Grass types, use them. Gliscor Level 53 Ground/Flying Earthquake Ice Fang Fire Fang Thunder Fang Got a good range of attacks, watch out for his fangs but he shouldn’t be too much trouble with a good ice type. Hippowdon Level 52 Ground Earthquake Stone Edge Crunch Yawn Watch out for sandstorm. It will be annoying. Hippowdon doesn’t have a 4x weakness so hit it powerfully. Golem Level 52 Rock/Ground Earthquake Sandstorm Fire Punch Thunder Punch FALCON PAWNCH Hardest pokemon on her team because of Falcon Pawnch. It’s an instant KO so be very careful. Other than that, water and grass moves destroy it. It shouldn’t be much difficulty aside from Falcon Pawnch. Rhyperior Level 55 Ground/Rock Earthquake Rock Wrecker Megahorn Avalanche The most powerful Pokemon of her team with a lousy type match up. Grass or Water, pow, dead, next Elite Four member! Elite Four Flint coming August 3, 2009. Thank You and Enjoy PS For those of you who are wondering, Falcon Punch is Captain Falcon’s signature move in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. If you get the joke, you can laugh, if you don’t, you can always wonder what the heck I was talking about. XD Visit The SS Fan Forums …

Question by Anna: Trying to make a pretty cork board?
I have just painted my room Tiffany Blue (and it’s gorgeous btw). I want to buy this comforter set from Bed Bath and Beyond (my mom and I saw it in-store, I really like it):

http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=17273060&RN=22&KSKU=124527

I have been looking for a nice cork board to tack things up with in my room, but I’ve had no luck finding a pretty one one. I have found a pretty lilac colored frame that goes with the comforter here:

http://www.amazon.com/Classic-French-Lilac-Picture-Frame-Solid/dp/B002SFZMF8/ref=sr_1_97?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1274128939&sr=1-97

I want to take the frame and make it into a cork board border. Can I take out the glass and put in a piece of cork? Would it be that simple, or do you think I’d need something to back the cork? What type of cork should I use? How thick do you think is good?
