Executive Summary

As seasoned professionals who've risen from technician roles to technical leadership, you understand firsthand the critical challenges facing lawn care operations today. Your combined experience positions you perfectly to evaluate PermaGreen's solution to your company’s most persistent operational problems.

The Technical Reality We All Know

As former technicians and current managers of technical teams, you've witnessed the costly consequences of field inconsistencies.

Unauthorized adjustments to calibration settings, speed variations, improper overlap patterns, and deviations from company protocols that undermine even the best agronomic programs.

<aside> 🔄

Consider These Hydro Scenarios:

• Technicians increasing ground speed from calibrated 5 mph to up to 8 mph to "finish faster"
• Spray pressure adjustments from specified 40 PSI to 50 PSI without recalibration
• Adjustable Spreader patterns up to 25 feet wide
• Advertised 8-foot spray width that provides only 25% nozzle overlap instead of 50% overlap on boom nozzles. The actual spray width is 6'8”
• These inconsistencies lead to customer complaints, expensive service calls, and customer churn </aside>

PermaGreen's Patented Solution to Field Tampering

Unlike hydro manufacturers, PermaGreen incorporates patented design features specifically engineered to prevent both unintentional and intentional tampering.

Key Technical Controls:

• Fixed engine RPM prevents speed manipulation while maintaining optimal performance
• Two fixed ground speeds and matching mechanical rate controls with memory-lock features to prevent unauthorized calibration changes
• Preset spray pressure setting eliminates unauthorized pressure adjustments </aside>

The PermaGreen Technical Advantage

Your experience positions you to appreciate PermaGreen's engineering philosophy: "One machine - all properties." This isn't just marketing—it's a technical solution to the operational inconsistencies that plague multi-equipment fleets.

Application Precision Benefits:

• Consistent 3,000 to 3,500 sq. ft/minute coverage in high gear vs. variable walking speeds
• Uniform product distribution through engineered pattern overlap
• Reduced operator fatigue maintaining application quality throughout the day
• Simplified training protocols with standardized operating procedures </aside>

Strategic Testing Framework

Given your technical backgrounds, we recommend a data-driven testing approach that builds on Senske’s existing operational excellence:

<aside> 📇

Employee Selection Strategy:

• Seek willing volunteers—not conscripts—from your technically proficient teams
• Ideal candidates: relatively new hires eager to learn advanced equipment, frustrated technicians showing physical wear
• Consider recruiting experienced PermaGreen operators from competitors to accelerate adoption </aside>

Test Route Design:

• Create geographically tight routes with mixed property sizes (residential and commercial)
• Use PermaGreen for all accessible properties; maintain traditional methods only where physical barriers prevent access
• Combine low-gross margin large properties with high-gross margin small properties to optimize daily gross margins
• For expansive commercial sites: deploy several PermaGreens </aside>
