One of the best ways to select a lawn service is by speaking with your neighbors about the service they use and determine if the applicator has professional credentials, i.e. regularly attends agronomic seminars, maintains pesticide certifications, looks professional, etc. Most good lawn care professionals will be willing to make an appointment to speak with you about your lawn, tell you what to expect from their service, and present the different plans they have available.
