FAQ

 

Q. How safe are the lawn applications?

A. The materials which are used for lawn applications are of a very low toxicity and are registered and used in strict compliance to labeled instructions. They are applied by licensed technicians in accordance with state and local regulations.

 

Q. When can my children and pets go on the lawn?

A. If granular fertilizer is used you may go on the lawn immediately after the application. If liquid weed control is used, allow the material to dry on the grass before children and pets are allowed on it. Drying time will vary with weather conditions.

 

Q. What will aeration do for my lawn?

A. Aeration opens up the soil, allowing air and water penetration into the root zone of the grass. This process loosens compacted soil and improves root development thereby helping develop a stronger more stress resistant plant and improved thickness in the lawn.

 

Q. When should I water my lawn?

A. Lawns should be watered in the early morning for approximately 15 minutes, 3 days per week, depending on weather conditions. After a lawn application is made, wait 24 hours before watering the lawn. Do not water at night because it may lead to increased disease activity in the lawn.

 

Q. How do I get rid of moles?

A. There are numerous methods of trying to control moles. Traps, baits and repellants are currently being used. We suggest using traps, locating the traps where there are active tunnels and using bait that is normally used for mice such as peanut butter should help. A repellant known as mole med is available at lawn and garden stores and may be some success.
