A sample post
This is the kind of post that lands in your plan, here for Instagram.
Myth: Cutting grass very short means fewer mowings. Fact: Scalping stresses grass and invites weeds. Cut a little at a time, never more than a third of the blade. Thick grass is healthy grass.
Photo brief. Split card: a scalped yellow lawn labelled MYTH, a thick green striped lawn labelled FACT.
Myths your customers believe
Posts that correct a myth earn trust. Your plan includes them, with your business name attached.
Myth. Cutting grass very short means fewer mowings
Fact. Scalping stresses grass, exposes soil to weeds and causes browning. Cutting a little at a time keeps the lawn thick and healthy.
Myth. Lawns need watering every day
Fact. Deep, less frequent watering encourages deeper roots that survive heat better. Daily light watering keeps roots shallow.
Myth. Brown patches always mean the lawn is dead
Fact. Patches can come from heat, pests, fungus or compacted soil. Many recover once the cause is fixed.
Myth. Weeds can be fixed with one spray
Fact. A thick, healthy lawn is the best weed control. Spraying without fixing mowing, watering and soil only brings them back.
How to mow a lawn the right way
- Keep mower blades sharp for clean cuts
- Remove no more than a third of the blade height
- Change mowing direction now and then
Questions your customers ask
How often should a lawn be mowed?
During the growing season, usually every week or two, removing no more than about a third of the blade at a time.
Can you fix brown patches?
We first find the cause, such as heat, pests, fungus or compaction, then treat it with aeration, feeding or reseeding as needed.
When is the best time to lay a new lawn?
The monsoon and the months just after are ideal in most of India, because roots establish with natural moisture.
Is lawn treatment safe for children and pets?
We use registered products at label doses and tell you how long to keep children and pets off treated areas.
Do you offer regular contracts?
Yes. Weekly or fortnightly visits for mowing, edging, feeding and weed control are common.
Can lawns survive in shade?
Some grass varieties tolerate partial shade. In heavy shade, groundcovers often work better than grass.
