Q: When should I fertilize?

• <div><p>The best time to apply fertilizer to your lawn is in early fall, though some climates necessitate a different schedule. In most cases, avoid fertilizing late into fall, as this opens up your yard to winter injuries and poor health (though this is a great time to kill weeds.) You should avoid early spring fertilization, as this helps the grass leaves grow, but at the expense of developing root systems. Remember to water your lawn after fertilizing to increase its effectiveness and reduce the likelihood of runoff during a rainstorm. </p></div>

Q: How long before a new lawn can handle heavy traffic?

• <div><p>Planting grass from seed requires time to grow before it can handle even light foot traffic. Most varieties require a minimum of<b> three months</b> before you can walk on them regularly. You can expect to wait at least one year before your lawn can hold up to heavy use. Because sod is already established, it can be walked on more quickly than grass planted from seed.</p></div>

Q: How do seasonal changes impact weed control strategies?

• <div><p>Each season&rsquo;s climate influences approaches needed for effective suppression.</p></div>

Everyone always tells me how great my lawn looks. I’ve used them for over 10 years and will continue to do so. They come out multiple times through the year, in the Spring and Fall for me and you get discounts if you sign up early as well.

I didn’t really like them at all. I used them only because the product that they give is a good product compared to the other competitors. I would use them again in the future if I needed to.

I've been using them for six months. I haven't found anything bad about them, so I continue to use them. They come and do it and they leave me a bill. They are in the middle of the stream. They do as good as anyone else and as bad as anyone else. Their responsiveness is very good.
