Being a Baltimore lawn care services expert takes zeal and great commitment just like any other vocational job.

Below are some tools of trade you should include in your list;

  • Vehicle

You will need to ferry your tools of trade using a reliable heavy-duty flatbed truck. Now, this is a bit too much to ask for, but when you start working under a company, it will be at your disposal.

  • Storage facility

Do you own a garage or a shed? If so, then you will enjoy the privilege of evading overhead costs of a storage facility by creating one for yourself. With a simple shed kit that can easily be pre-cut, you can easily assemble to match your needs. It will also help in keeping your vehicle in good condition. Lawn equipment and other miscellaneous supplies can easily fit in a 10 by 20 feet garage.

  • Personalized Uniforms and Hats

You will gain trust from people if you show up at your workplace in a branded uniform. Besides, it provides a neat and professional appearance that will remind customers that you are aware and skilled at what you do.

  • Safety equipment

From time to time, you will encounter some sharp object in your line of duty. Moreover, lawn mowers produce up to 95 decibels, which according to OSHA, can cause major deaf cases. You will need ear muffs, safety goggles,  and gloves. Even as you are sweating during the hot weather, gloves will protect your hands from getting cut.

  • Lawn care Tools

To complement your job, you will need special equipment including;

  1. Lawn mowers- despite the wide array of mowers in the market, you need to look for self-propelled one. Remember, the one with extra features such as mulch removers and side catchers will fasten the process. If you plan to mow hills, get one with a floater deck.
  2. Snow removal appliance- a snow plow and a snow blade will come in handy during winter.
  3. Spreaders and sprayers- mowing isn’t the only role you are going to play. Try to introduce fertilizers as one of your services using a broadcast granular spreader to apply it in a wide arc. Alternatively, you can invest in a pressurized herbicide sprayer to get rid of weeds.
  4. Trimmer, edger, and a blower- the trimmer will help you reach the grass in areas the mower can’t reach. An edger eliminates grass that grows over the edge of footpaths and driveways while a blower will bring back any stray clippings back onto the lawn.

Various tools are required, but the ones mentioned above are the most important. So, gather enough funds and be that lawn expert you have always wanted to be.
