The-Big-Lie-Cense

A cornerstone of chemical lawn care marketing is the claim that service personnel are "Licensed" or "Certified" in lawn care.


As you can see below, they are neither!

Operational Certificate (Pesticide Handler License) V/S Turf/Ornamental (Supervisory) License
Written Exam Number of questions about grass, grubs weeds, diseases or fertilizers Zero 50-100
Visual Pest ID Zero Yes
Oral Examination With CT DEEP Board NO Yes
Pass Rate ~100% ~30%
Professional Recertification No Yes
This is the license doing nearly 100% of the "BigLawn" work This is the license doing the work for Natural Choice Lawn & Tree Care, LLC customers

Here's is the trick to finding out if your service-person really has a lawn care license: If the license begins with an "O" and/or has 5 numbers, it's the general pesticide certificate, not a Lawn license. But it begins with an "S" and/or has 4 numbers, it's a lawn (or tree) professional.

HAPPY CUSTOMERS!

Answered all the questions I had about both lawn & shrubs...very knowledgeable! They were able to get weeds under control which, over the last 10 years, 3 different companies couldn't. Also using their Tick Controls and our 2 dogs have been tick free.
