We use products that are effective in light rain. In fact, many of our products are more effective when watered in. If heavy rain is expected, we will typically reschedule your service for a day that is more suitable for application.

Does rain affect your applications?

You should mow your lawn based on the season and the grass&#8217;s growth, not a strict calendar. In spring and summer, when grass grows faster due to more sunlight and rain, mowing once a week is a good rule, and twice a week may be necessary during very rapid growth. In fall, reduce mowing frequency to every two weeks as growth slows, and stop altogether in winter when the grass is dormant. A helpful guideline is to follow the &#8220;one-third rule,&#8221; never removing more than one-third of the grass blade&#8217;s height at a time to avoid stressing the lawn.

How often should I mow my lawn?

Our goal is to create a thick, healthy lawn, capable of out-competing most weeds. We know that no lawn is “weed-free”. That’s why we provide Pre-emergent treatments at varying times, to suppress overall weed growth, and follow that with “spot-treating” any weeds that overcome the pre-emergent application.

Is weed control necessary with every lawn treatment?

No lawn is “weed-free”. In humid, subtropical climates, plants thrive, and weeds are just unwanted plants. Our proactive approach to weed management includes fertilization to create a thick &amp; healthy lawn, pre-emergent weed applications for suppression, and spot treating any visible weeds.

Why do I get weeds in my lawn, if you treat regularly?

Our aim is to make your lawn as healthy as possible and build resistance to insect attacks. However, lawns are attacked frequently and experience has taught us that a preventive approach is best for the lawns we protect. We provide insect prevention applications to your lawn every year, focusing on chinch bugs, grubs, and sod-webworms.

Is insect control necessary for my lawn?

We use a variety of Fertilizers, based on seasonal needs, EPA &amp; State Dept. of Agriculture guidance, and with regard to your local municipality’s fertilizer ordinances. The nutrients we use are Nitrogen, Potassium, Iron, Manganese, Magnesium, and a handful of other natural ingredients.
