5 Signs You’ve Outgrown Your Stock Spray Rig

November 20, 2025

As the busy fall season winds down and you prepare for next year’s lawn care challenges, it’s the perfect time to ask yourself: Is my spray rig holding me back?

Stock rigs are fine when you’re starting out, but as your business grows, so do your demands. At Graham, we’ve seen countless lawn care professionals hit the same roadblocks—and we’ve built custom solutions to help them push past those limits.

Here are five signs you’ve outgrown your stock spray rig and how Graham’s custom lawn rigs can solve them:

1️⃣ Limited Tank Capacity

The pain point: You’re constantly stopping to refill, wasting valuable time and losing productivity. Stock rigs often come with smaller tanks that simply can’t keep up with larger properties or full-day schedules.

The Solution: Purchase a custom lawn rig that is designed with tank sizes that match your workload. Whether you need dual tanks for different applications or larger single tanks for extended runs, consider purchasing a rig that keeps you spraying longer and refilling less.

2️⃣ Inefficient Hose Setups

The pain point: Tangled hoses, short reach, or awkward layouts slow you down and frustrate your crew.

The Solution: Look for lawn rigs offering engineered hose reels and layouts for maximum efficiency. Lawn rigs should feature smooth, organized hose systems with the length and durability you need to cover big lawns without the hassle.

3️⃣ Mismatched Pump Pressure

The pain point: Your pump doesn’t deliver the right pressure for the job—too weak for coverage, too strong for delicate applications.

The Solution: Custom spray rigs are built with pumps calibrated to your exact needs. From high-pressure pumps for tree spraying to lower-pressure setups for turf, customized rigs ensure you’re getting consistent, reliable performance.

4️⃣ Lack of Customization

The pain point: Stock rigs are one-size-fits-all, which means they rarely fit your business perfectly.

The Solution: Customization is the way to go. Need split tanks? Dual reels? A rig that fits your truck bed like a glove?  Have a lawn rig designed around your workflow, not the other way around.

5️⃣ Growing Service Demands

The pain point: As your customer base expands, your rig struggles to keep up. What worked for a handful of lawns doesn’t cut it when you’re servicing dozens every week.

The Solution: Customizable lawn rigs are built to scale with your business. They allow you to upgrade to equipment that supports growth, efficiency, and profitability—so your rig becomes a partner in success, not a bottleneck.
