It is humbly informed that I have been working with ABC company. It has been 4 years since my contract started with ABC. It is a lawn care and maintenance service company that offer their services to the people who are too busy or do not know anything about lawn care.
Almost every house in the city is supposed to leave a certain area for lawn and make their homes far from the road. Each house has lawns on 3 sides that provide shade and are also forced to reduce the effect of global warming. ABC has many laborers on their payroll as they are providing services to various areas and require more manpower than imagined.
When I started working, I didn’t know anything about lawn care, and it was a difficult task to learn how to take proper lawns and how every plant is different and has different requirements of fertilizer and water content. Some lawns are visited daily as they are huge and need water each day while other small lawns are cared for on alternate days. Overall, the joy of taking care of plants and trees is exceptional.
After so many years of gaining experience, I have decided to start my own business of providing lawn care services as this field can never be ignored or face recession in the current neighborhood. In addition, it will also open more job opportunities for interested people. I have devised a proposal for a customer’s lawn which is barren and needs extra care. I seek your approval for my venture.
Anxiously waiting for your response.
Regards,
Derek Hugh

Introduction
Lawn care is defined as the maintenance of the health, the color of existing lawns for a longer period. A lawn is made up of many items that need separate care and intake of specified materials to help them grow. There are various lawn care services that take care of your lawns for you and are paid handsomely for maintaining them.
Government forces on keeping manicured land not only at public places but also at the private property because they are not only involved in beautifying nature but also have a positive impact on the environment. These lawns provide a peaceful impact on the residents and allow them to breathe natural and fresh air which imparts healthy benefits to the body.
Lawn care companies provide a variety of services, and it mainly depends on customers to choose their services based on affordability and requirement.
Services provided by the lawn care companies are provided below,
- Weed removal
- Natural aeration
- Water spread
- Pest control
- Fertilizer application
- Soil testing
- Irrigation system
All these services help in maintaining manicured lawns that the customers should not worry about. In addition, these companies provide various packages to facilitate their customers. These packages may include daily weekly or monthly visits with different fees structure. Customers are allowed to choose the package of their liking as there are many people who like to take care of their own lawns and are aware of all the techniques. They require a few visits from the lawn care companies otherwise they can manage on their own.
I wanted to set up my own business of lawn care services as I have expertise in the field and will be able to forward this knowledge and experience to others. I have already set up goals for the business and started working for them.
