I'd say blog commenting is still ok, so long as you don't try to stuff your link and target anchor text in every comment possible. You should mix it up and try to start a conversation, and then maybe in your second reply, drop a link to your site.

Many blog comments are NoFollow anyways, so they won't pass much or any SEO juice along to your site. It might, however, attract visitors to you site.

and become a more relevant source

I think that you have optimized your pages beyond the point of relevance.

"Greenside Lawncare offers the following services: St. Charles Lawn Care, St. Peters Lawn Care, O’Fallon Lawn Care, Lake St. Louis Lawn Care, Wentzville Lawn Care, Chesterfield Lawn Care, and Maryland Heights Lawn Care."

If you rewrite in natural language your rankings might go up and your visitors might respond better to your website.

They know you are in the lawn care biz.

I agree. The text is too over-optimized. It might scare customers aware because it is not so natural sounding.
