Client Education Handouts
Setting client expectations up front avoids the “why does it look different than the neighbor’s photo” call in week three.
The gaps that cause callbacks
- The establishment timeline is real. Most eco-lawns look thin or patchy for the first several weeks — clients who do not know this call thinking something went wrong.
- What “low-maintenance” actually means. Not zero maintenance, especially in year one — see our own honest framing in every species guide’s “honest cons” section.
- Why their site’s result may differ from a photo. Shade, soil, and traffic all change the outcome — a single stock photo cannot represent every yard.
Point clients to the source
Every species guide on this site — clover, creeping thyme, fine fescue, and others — is written for a homeowner audience and is safe to share directly with clients as a reference, rather than writing your own from scratch.
