How does the cost of DIY Lawn Care compare to a service?

Recently we are seeing some folks say their DIY lawn care is becoming expensive. More expensive than when they had a company like TruGreen (TG) on retainer. This is an interesting perception and one Allyn wanted to address.

Let’s look at the context. The primary reason DIY seems so expensive, and sometimes hiring TG doesn’t, is that with TG, they come out and spray only the exact amount of product needed that day and that is essentially all you pay for.   

Their company essentially shoulders the cost of buying in bulk and storing it, and you only pay for the amount of chemical used for your application - no more, no less.

Here is a blog post highlighting the cost difference between the two options with a lot more details.
