The reason applicants write cover letters is that they want to communicate to the hiring manager that they are perfect for the job, for which you are applying.
This leads to a lot of pressure on applicants who are unaware of the many aspects that hiring managers look into before they decide that an applicant is perfect for the job. If you as an applicant know them, it can make the cover letter writing process quite easy.
It is best, to begin with, an opening line that is designed to thrill the reader. Talking about yourself only, will not get you any interviews.
Talk about how the company or its products or services have impressed you in the past, and how you would like to contribute in some capacity as well. Offer information about your abilities and work prowess, as they relate to the demands of a hiring manager,
Here is how you can do this with a cover letter:

March 25, 2018
Mr. Thomas Young
Human Resource Manager
1st Choice Yard Care
8276 Peck Road
State College, PA 60215
Dear Mr. Young:
By virtue of the fact that I am an extremely experienced individual in a lawn care specialist capacity, I would like to offer my services to 1st Choice Yard Care, a company that I hold in extremely high esteem. Having worked in a specialist role for over six years has made me exceptionally talented in handling the various demands of clients, where the aesthetics and exceptional care of their lawns is concerned.
Conferring with clients to determine their lawn care requirements, and then creating and presenting plans to meet those requirements in a way that is best suitable to them (clients), is something not only I, but all my regular clients swear by. With my ability to develop lawn care technician teams, and provide them with leadership to ensure that they perform their work to the highest standards, I am confident that you will not regret your decision in hiring me. Overseeing the safe application of pesticides and fertilizers, and ensuring that preventative maintenance on lawns is managed profoundly, is quite a talent of mine.
If you are looking for a lawn care specialist who does not mind getting his hands dirty when the work demands it and has an excellent knack for leading teams to develop beautiful and aesthetically pleasing lawns, I am sure that I am the person. I will give you a broader overview of my capabilities in a face to face meeting soon. Until then, you may reach me at (000) 521-6265 if required.
Sincerely,
Kevin Lopez
(000) 521-6265
