Yes, with the exception of the winter treatment it helps if the Lawn can be cut 1-3 days before.

Leave 3 days after our treatment without cutting the grass to allow treatments to reach the roots. When we apply the weed killer it needs to work its way from the leaf to the root. If the leaf is cut off prior to this process being completed the success of the treatment will be reduced.

Yes, however we do ask that you and any non-grazing pets you have stay off the lawn for 3 hours after the treatment. This allows it to dry and avoids the chemical being walked off its intended target. Grazing animals must be kept off the area for 2 weeks.

You do not need to be at home when we visit. All is needed is access to the lawns.

We recommend you mow the grass at 2.5 to 7.5 cm(depending on grass type & conditions), never cut more than mow more than one third at one time. Summer months can be shorter and winter months longer. In a dry spell it's good to raise the mower blades a little as it helps retain moisture. Keeping it short during the winter can damage the root system when the frost arrives.

Keeping to this system will provide a good solid structure to the grass that will hold moisture in the summer and keep moss and weeds at bay whilst we treat it. Each lawn is different so we will provide advice to get the best result for you. Remember in spring to start with a cut at the highest setting and gradually reduce. Regular mowing in the growing season helps the turf to thicken.

Whilst this is not required, the sooner feed reaches the roots, the quicker the lawn will improve. Normally rainfall or dew will accomplish this. Regular watering will help maintain a healthy lawn.

If it's dry it's better to water heavily once or twice a week, a lawn needs about 25mm of water each week to ensure the water reaches deeply. It's better to water in the early morning, if you can, this lessens moisture on the leaves overnight which can create conditions favourable to disease.
