FAQs

Fertilizers:  Will your fertilizers dry out my lawn during the summer?
Our fertilizers will not burn or dry out your grass during the heat of summer, helps your lawn survive the summer heat stress and are ready to assist in your lawn's recuperation when you do water after a drought.

Weeds:  Why won't my weeds die?
Weeds begin to curl and wither in 5-7 days, but may take up to 21 days before they are gone completely. Hot weather, a heavy rain within 24 hours of treatment, or mowing immediately after an application can reduce control.

Can dandelions be prevented from showing up in my lawn?
They cannot be prevented, just controlled in late spring, after they have sprouted.

How soon can I water my lawn?
It is best to leave our products on any weeds you have until they are absorbed, usually at least 24 hours.

Insects:  I see beetles on my lawn and in my shrubs. Does this mean I also have grubs?
After defoliating ornamentals, shrubs and some trees, beetles lay their eggs in the soil and their eggs hatch into grubs that begin feeding on the roots of your lawn, depriving it of nourishment.
 
Fleas make our dog miserable every summer. Can you help?
Yes, we can treat your lawn in the summer to control the fleas and ticks.

Is it OK that your technician applied our weed control on a rainy day?
Weed control products are primarily absorbed through pores in the weeds' leaves. As long as the product is not washed off the leaf, control will occur.

Service:  We've had disappointments with lawn services in the past. Why should we think Scotts LawnService will be any different?
Three reasons: Scotts professional fertilizers are the best in the world, we guarantee that your lawn is always cared for by certified field Scotts Training Institute technicians, and we continually evaluate our field staff on the quality of their service.

Is your service guaranteed?
Yes you must be fully satisfied with the results you see, visit after visit. If not, simply let us know and we'll make things right.

Maintenance:  Can I mow the same day my lawn is treated?
You can mow immediately after we apply our fertilizers, but do not mow for at least 24 hours after we apply our weed control products.

How long should we stay off our lawn after you visit?
If your lawn received a granular treatment of fertilizers you can begin lawn activity right away. If  a liquid weed control, please stay off the grass until the liquid has dried, usually one to several hours depending on temperature, humidity and wind.

How safe are your products (for my kids and pets, for example)?
Our fertilizers are not considered hazardous material and contain many of the same active ingredients as the products from your local nursery or garden store. When used by our professional technicians in strict compliance with labeled instructions, they do not represent any significant threat to your family or pets.
