Lawn care training takes two major forms. On the one hand, we have formal training, and on the other hand, we have informal training. We will be looking at each of these in turn, with a view to understand what each entails. But before doing all that, we need to first of all answer the more basic question -- as to who actually requires the lawn care training. And that is where we come to learn that lawn maintenance training is required by people who have it as a goal to venture into the business of maintaining lawns.
Use Preventative Maintenance: Some things to take into consideration are of course using a fertilizer treatment as well as an herbicide to maintain your lawn. Annual aeration as well will help to keep your lawn lush and beautiful. Look into repairing bare and worn spots in your lawn as well in order to keep it thriving.
Watch the Blade: You want to make sure that the blade on your lawnmower is sharp. This will allow you to maintain a smooth blade as well as a healthier lawn. Ragged or pulled edges on the grass provide more spaces for microorganisms to collect and attack your lawn thus destroying all of your hard work with one single swipe.
Having thus answered the question as to why lawn care training becomes necessary, we need to proceed and examine the two forms of lawn maintenance training. Formal lawn maintenance training: This is lawn care training offered in institutions, following a standard curriculum, with examinations (and other forms of evaluation) and with certification issued at the end of the courses. To be sure, there are very few educational or vocational institutions with courses in this area. What we tend to have is a wider course in landscaping, with lawn care being one of the units covered. It is also worth noting that this is a field of learning where one can advance to a very high level. We often come across folks with up to Masters Degrees in Ornamental horticulture (which is another name for landscaping, in which lawn care is the key component).
Informal lawn maintenance training: This is normally offered within the context of on the job training' by the various lawn service firms. There is no standard curriculum followed here. Neither are there examinations (though evaluation is done informally, by way of observation of how well the trainees are able to perform various practical lawn care tasks). In most cases, there are no certifications issued. Still, given its practical hands-on nature, this form of training is very powerful. Worth noting is the fact that most of the rank and file' staff in lawn care firms at the moment are beneficiaries of this sort of informal training.
