As the local business becomes less and less common, it's important to understand the benefits to hiring a local business rather than a big name franchise.

When you hire a local business to do your lawn care you are adding to the local economy. As we watch many smaller businesses collapse around us it's important to remember if we want to be able to keep these smaller businesses alive we need to support them. When you hire locally, it ensures the local economy can grow, instead of spending your money just to have it taken to another state or city you know it's going into your own community. A local business is more likely to turn around and spend that money back into the community at another local business. Therefore, it makes sense to keep your lawn care needs in the hands of locals.

Yard care is something personal, you're intrusting a very important part of your home to a business, and what better way to ensure they are trust worthy than to hire locally. Local businesses rely on their reputation to speak for them where franchises don't have to worry about what the neighbors say, one or two clients aren't going to hurt their business that much. If a local lawn care business doesn't do the work, or live up to their promises then they aren't going to have the recommendations that matter, word of mouth is among the best form of advertisement. It also makes sure that if you have questions, or problems, that you aren't going to end up staying on some long distance call waiting for answers from someone you don't know, and that doesn't care about you or your community. Quality, this is something that a local business will always value over quantity. They want the work to be done, and done right so that you're satisfied and will keep coming to them with your lawn care needs. If they do their job to the fullest, when you decide you want to re-do the back yard you're going to come to the people who have given you the best in yard service.

When you hire a local business to do your lawn maintenance you can be assured you'll be able to reach them with your important questions, and to solve any issues. It also allows you to build a relationship with the people who you're working with. When you hire locally you're more likely to keep working with the same people, as local businesses have a much less likelihood of employee turnover. In addition, local businesses understand that their employees are truly representing them, they're the ones you are going to interact with the most, and therefore they hire only the best and brightest workers. A local business cares about the community, because they depend upon it, just as much as the community comes to depend on the service they offer. It's a benefit to you to hire a local company to do your lawn service for you, as well as it benefiting the community and economy.
