22 lawn care Facebook post ideas for the whole year

Why lawn care posts work better than most

Your work is visible from the street, so your photos do the selling. A neat lawn, a clean edge, a fresh stripe: neighbors see it and ask who did it. Your page just has to be there when they look.

• Post the season first, the offer second. "Aeration window is open" beats "20% off."
• Shoot from the curb at eye level, so the post looks like what a neighbor would see.
• Name the neighborhood, not the street. It says you work nearby without sharing a home address.
• Use one photo with one clear job in it, like a lawn mid-cleanup or a crew with the trailer.

If you're newer to posting, start with what to post on your business Facebook Page. The same post types apply to any trade. This guide fills them in for grass.

Spring cleanup post ideas

Spring is when homeowners decide who they'll hire for the year. Show up early, and the ones who book in March stay with you through October.

1. 01

   First day out

   First mow of the year in [town]. The grass is waking up and so are the mowers. We're booking spring cleanups and weekly mowing now. Message us for a free estimate.

   Don't mow it wet

   Hold off on the first mow if the ground is soggy. Wet soil gets rutted and wet grass clumps. Give it a few dry days. We'll be there when it's right.

   Cleanup before and after

   Spring cleanup in [neighborhood]: leaves out of the beds, sticks off the lawn, edges cut fresh. Left was this morning. Right was by lunch. Book yours before the calendar fills.

   Pre-emergent window

   Crabgrass seed starts waking up when the soil warms up. A pre-emergent goes down before that, not after. We apply it for lawns in [town]. Message us to get on the list.

   Mulch season

   Fresh mulch makes a yard look done. Keep it a few inches back from the trunk of your trees, not piled against it. Want us to do your beds this week? Send us a photo and we'll quote it.

Mowing and watering tip ideas

Tips are free, short and they get saved. Leave off the sales pitch. People hire the company that taught them something last month.

1. 01

   Mowing height

   Taller grass shades its own roots and handles heat better. A good rule of thumb: never cut more than a third of the blade at one time. If your lawn got long, come down a little at a time.

   Water early and deep

   Water in the morning, deeply, and not every day. A lawn that gets a good soak a couple of times a week grows stronger roots than one that gets sprinkled daily. Check your town's watering rules first.

   Sharp blades

   Look at the tips of your grass. If they're brown and shredded, your mower blade is dull. A sharp blade makes a clean cut and the lawn looks better in a week. Ours get sharpened [how often].

   Heat stress

   Grass that's gone gray-green and doesn't spring back when you walk on it is thirsty. Water it and keep traffic off it. If you've got bare spots that aren't coming back, message us.

   Ask the crew

   What's the one thing about your lawn that's been bugging you? Drop it in the comments. [Name] is going to answer as many as possible between jobs today.

Not sure how long a post should be? The ideal Facebook post length is shorter than you'd think. Every tip above is 3 or 4 sentences.

Fall aeration and overseeding post ideas

Fall is the second big season. The weather sets the timing, so tie your posts to it. A clear reason and a plain price get people to book.

1. 01

   Window is open

   The seeding window is open in [town]. Soil is still warm and nights are cooling off, which is what [grass type] likes. We've started aeration and overseeding routes. Want a spot? Message us.

   What aeration does

   Those little plugs of soil on your lawn aren't a mess. They're the job. Aeration opens the ground so water and seed can get in. They break down in a couple weeks.

   New seed care

   Seeded this fall? Keep the top inch damp, which usually means short waterings a few times a day for the first couple weeks. Then back off. Questions? Message us.

   Last call

   Last call for fall seeding in [town]. After [date], cold nights slow things down. We have [number] openings left this week. Message us to grab one.

Leaf cleanup, holiday lights and snow post ideas

Late fall and winter are where most lawn companies go dark. Don't. These posts keep your phone ringing for next spring and fill a few winter slots.

1. 01

   Halfway through a leaf cleanup

   Halfway through a leaf cleanup in [neighborhood]. Left side is where we started. Right side is done: leaves off the lawn and out of the beds, final mow, clean edges. Everything gets hauled off.

   Don't let leaves sit

   A thick mat of wet leaves can smother your grass over the winter. Rake them or mulch them with the mower before the snow comes. Or call us and we'll take care of it.

   Holiday lighting

   Holiday lighting is open for booking in [town]. We measure your roofline, hang the lights, keep them working all season and take them down in January. Message us for an estimate.

   Snow plowing sign-up

   Snow is coming and we're signing up driveways and lots for plowing in [town]. Message us your address to ask about openings, and we'll tell you honestly if we're full.

Crew, quote and thank-you post ideas

Customers hire people who'll show up. These posts show who shows up. They also cost nothing and take a minute with a phone.

1. 01

   Meet the crew lead

   Meet [name]. [He/She] leads our Tuesday crew in [town], and if your lawn looks sharp on a Tuesday, that's why. Say hi in the comments.

   Make-it-right promise

   If we miss something, like a strip of edging or a bed we didn't blow out, tell us. We'll come back and fix it at no charge. Our name is on the truck.

   Thank you, [first name], for hanging in with us through a dry summer. Your lawn is a tough one and it looks great. See you in the spring.

A simple week of lawn care posts

You don't need all 22 at once. Pick 3 a week during the season (here's how often a business should post), and drop to 1 or 2 in winter. For more ideas when the lawns go brown, see slow season marketing ideas.
