APRIL IS NATIONAL LAWN CARE MONTH
Be proactive in April and propose lawn care programs that ensure both a healthy and beautiful lawn throughout the year for your clients.

	Share these facts with your customers …
	Well-cared-for lawns can significantly increase your clients’ property values.
	A healthy lawn is of utmost importance to our environment. A 50-foot by 50-foot lawn produces enough oxygen for a family of four.
	Lawns cool the atmosphere. Eight healthy front lawns have the cooling effect of 70 tons of air conditioning, which is enough for 16 average homes.
	Grass converts carbon dioxide to oxygen, a process that helps clear the air.
	Dense, healthy grass slows water runoff, removing contaminants and trapping soil. Fresh, filtered water returns to the underground water supply
