Comments on: Do people say “order a lawn care service”?Is this a grammar error? http://lawncarenut.com/do-people-say-order-a-lawn-care-serviceis-this-a-grammar-error/ Your lawn care questions answered Sun, 06 Feb 2011 12:09:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: jt http://lawncarenut.com/do-people-say-order-a-lawn-care-serviceis-this-a-grammar-error/#comment-89 jt Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:46:50 +0000 http://lawncarenut.com/do-people-say-order-a-lawn-care-serviceis-this-a-grammar-error/#comment-89 "We care for your lawn--call us today!" "We care about your lawn--call us today!" "For (prompt, professional, whatever adjective you like) lawn care, call us today!" "Call us for (fast, friendly, efficient, whatever adjective you like) lawn care service!" Think about what image do you want to project. Professional, formal, and efficient? Or friendly, neighborly, local, and affable? Including photos in your flyer may be helpful. People like "before and after" photos. A photo of a lawn care worker standing beside a vehicle may help. A single-sheet flyer should have no more than 2-3 photos. If you have been doing lawn care before (even if it's just mowing neighbors' yards) list your years of experience! Good luck with your new business! “We care for your lawn–call us today!”

I would not say service. I would just suggest; "Order your lawn care today." You are offering to service an account for a fee, so placing an order is good. But the idea of lawn care as a service, is not different than an automotive lube and oil service. They don't write "lube and oil change service." In case I’m wrong, it is just my opinion.

You might say "arrange for your lawn care today" instead. It’s a grammatically correct sentence; however, I think most people would “hire” a lawn-care service.
