Lawn maintenance contractors have numerous mower attachments at their disposal, but a few stand out for their potential to drive both productivity and sales.
Dethatching during spring cleanup.
In Fort Atkinson, Wis., Rob Amadon of Rock River Lawn Care has been using an easy-to-install dethatcher on his front-mount zero-turn mower. This attachment simply hangs on the front of the deck.
“The way it is set up, I dethatch and mow at the same time,” Amadon says. “For the first pass over a lawn, I set the deck to around 3.5 inches with the dethatcher attached. Then I lift the dethatcher off, drop the deck a half-inch, and go over the lawn one more time. The mower’s integrated grass-catching system sucks everything up.”

Lawn Cure, based in Sellersburg, Indiana, was started in 1978 by Larry Messina with just one truck. Twelve years ago, sisters Michelle Hawkins and Missy Fromme took over as co-owners of their father’s company.
While the women were aiming to keep the company running exactly how their father had, Michelle’s husband, Patrick Hawkins, who joined as president and general manager, was eager to make changes.
Today, the company employs 21 people, has 16 trucks in its fleet and its revenue is $3 million.
