Questions
How long should we stay off the lawn after treatment?
We recommend staying off the lawn for about an hour until the application dries.
Are your products safe for pets and children?
Our products are practically non-toxic when applied by professionals. Organic options are also available.
What's the difference between dry and liquid fertilizer?
Both deliver equal results. Dry fertilizer remains visible until watered, while liquid absorbs immediately.

Most customers see results within 7-10 days after application.
