Why Is the Price of Lawn Care Increasing? [Inflation 2021]

Supply Chain Issues in Lawn Care:

The cost of lawn care is hitting record highs for various reasons.
1. The obvious reason here for the cost increase of lawn care is overall inflation.
2. Natural Gas Shortage: Did you know that natural gas accounts for up to 70% of the cost of fertilizer? When the price of natural gas goes up, the price of fertilizer goes up.
3. Fertilizer Import from China: In the US, fertilizer is an import. One major exporter of fertilizer is China. As demand increases, they are exporting less and less.
4. Truck shortage 2021: at the very end of the supply chain in the US, we have many boats backed up in ports in LA and a shortage of truckers to deliver goods which is causing a major traffic jam in the fertilizer supply chain.
