Build A More Efficient Organic Turf Care Program

You’re not the first landscaper to feel uneasy about the chemicals typically used to keep lawns thick and “healthy.” Nor are you the first to be afraid that offering organic options will only cost more and yield lesser results. The longstanding problem lies in this: The fact that a product is “organic” doesn’t mean it’s good. Any product that claims to be one-size-fits-all will work for a small few and fall short for many others. Whether you’re looking for organic products you can offer your own clients, or you want help with seamless integration of organic turf care into your existing model, we offer the quality products and business resources you wished existed, but didn’t know were possible.

Soil Testing + Plus

Take any course on organic lawn care, view an article on the internet or read a book, the first thing you are told to do is take a soil test. So, you dutifully take a soil sample, send it off to a lab; get the results back – then what? If it’s not Greek to you, it may be to your clients.

Program Development

We help landscapers integrate organics… seamlessly! Our approach is not a franchise or quasi – franchise. We assist in putting together an All-Natural Organic Turf Care Program that works, is profitable and suited for your business.

Soil Testing

Whether you are just starting an organic program or you have been providing a service for years it is important to remember that a solid program begins with a soil test.

We’ll send you the soil sampling supplies and instructions. You take the sample and mail to the lab. We get the results, read them for you and send you the results in an easy to understand word document with your company logo that you can edit and send to your customer. Sound amazing? It is!

Included:

Soil sampling supplies and instructions
Soil test for: pH, buffer pH, Organic Matter, Cation Exchange Capacity, P/K/Mg and % Base Saturation.
Report with product recommendations provided in an easy to understand word format with company logo for easy editing
Master Product Application Chart based on soil test results lists by client: product, # of bags, # of applications and when to apply for the season. We update it as new soil tests are taken saving you time and making product decisions easy.

We will create a monthly calendar of product applications and cultural practices based on your program and a master product application chart for the season, broken down by application and route with time tracking.

Step 3. Program Packaging & Pricing Assistance

We will recommend pricing for your organic fertilization services based on your program, product set, labor rate, and profit margin, and provide a master price sheet by program level and square footage for easy quoting.

Step 4. End of Season Review

Testimonials

Words From Our Satisfied Customers

“In the business of organic lawn care it’s important to have a team of educated, knowledgeable, and supportive folks that can help walk you through the process of transitioning lawns from chemical management to organic. With PJC’s business support tools I now have a program that works and I’ve been able to steadily develop my business and become more profitable.”

“To be successful delivering organic services, you have to educate yourself and it doesn’t happen overnight. PJC’s ability to understand the latest research and what’s going on in the field is important to our business. They are so much more than a seller of organic products.”

“Our organic program has been fantastic. Grubs have never been a factor at the Governor’s Academy. The few that we have encountered were on fields that don’t have irrigation and have been minimal over the last 15 years. We receive many compliments on the way our fields look in the extreme heat of the summer, as well as, in November when the season is winding down. The turf stands up to games, practices and all the other functions that are held on the 450 acres that we maintain. PJC has been a great asset for me for more than a decade ~”
