Landscape Startup

Using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, I asked people what they’d like to see their landscaper blogging about this summer. Here are 5 things they said:

• Weeding–what to do when you have a big problem with overgrown weeds Plants that will make you stand out from your neighbors but are easy to maintain Green products for the lawn-the most environmentally safe fertilizers and treatments
• Projects that you’re working on with pictures of your work. Different stores you like to work with. Tools or techniques you would recommend.
• 1. Weekly timetable of what do to to treat the lawn/grass/flowers during the su mmer. 2. Environmentally friendly ways to take care of the lawn without harmful chemicals. 3. A comparative review of different types of mulch, including which is best and why.
• 1. In the summer, the landscaper should blog about how to maintain a healthy lawn. When and how much water is required? What type of fertilizer and when it should be applied. 2. Many people have summer vegetable gardens. Although it is not technically a landscaping function, clients would appreciate gardening tips. A landscaper can also give advice on fruit tree spraying and pruning. 3. What plants are drought resistant and keep looking great in the heat?
• I live in Florida – it’s so hot and there’s been no rain and we can only water once a week. Is my grass going to die? It’s so brown !! Make a list of what plants / flowers / bushes can take direct sun, should be in the shade etc. Does a landscaper charge different prices depending on what time of the year it is? Give some ball-park figures. People might be surprised at the number
