FAQ
Lawn Care Questions, Answered
Green Lawn Fertilizing always strives to provide the best customer service possible, and one thing we always provide is communication.
What happens before service?
You get an email before every visit so you know when we are coming and can prepare, for example bringing pets inside. Specific pre-treatment instructions vary by treatment type.
What happens after treatment?
You receive an aftercare email confirming your lawn was treated, with any special instructions such as when to water, plus any recommendations to improve your lawn.
When can I water my lawn after treatment?
Unless your aftercare email says otherwise, water your lawn approximately 24 hours after treatment.
How much water does my lawn need?
About an inch of water a week. In summer, if you have a sprinkler system, run each zone for 3 cycles of about 8 minutes each for deeper penetration with less runoff. Dormant winter lawns need less.
When can families and pets return to serviced areas?
Allow the application to dry before families and pets resume enjoying the lawn.
Does service renew each year?
Yes. Service continues year after year unless you tell us to stop. There are no contracts; season-to-season continuity is what keeps a lawn at its best.
How often should I mow my lawn?
Keep Bermuda and zoysia at about 1-2 inches, St. Augustine at about 2-3 inches. Any lawn-specific height recommendations come in your aftercare email.
Are the products safe?
All products we use are registered for use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
How often are treatments performed?
Most treatments on the annual lawn program run approximately every 45 days, give or take. Sometimes we have to work around the weather, but we will always communicate that with you. The schedule itself is adjusted each year based on the weather and how the season has played out.
How do payments work?
Payments are due upon treatment and are considered late 14 days after you receive your invoice, which is emailed after each visit with a payment link. We accept cash, check, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, and credit or debit cards, and you can set up automatic payment so each treatment is charged when it is complete. We are a small, family-owned company, so timely payments genuinely matter to us.
Do you offer mosquito control or core aeration?
No. We do not offer mosquito control, and we do not perform mechanical core aeration. For soil compaction we use microbial aeration, a natural alternative that avoids sprinkler damage and lasts up to nine months.
How many applications are in the annual lawn program?
Eight applications per year: three rounds of pre- and post-emergent weed control, four rounds of granular fertilization through the growing season, and a fall winterizer that feeds the roots before dormancy. The timing windows are approximate and are adjusted each year based on the weather.
Is quarterly pest control covered by the guarantee?
Yes. The Quarterly Pest Control Program runs four visits per year and is backed by the same 100% guarantee as the lawn program. If we are not earning your business every visit, you are free to walk away.
Do you offer sand leveling or yard leveling?
No, leveling is not a service we offer. Our focus is the health of the turf itself: fertilization, weed control, fire ant control, microbial aeration for compacted soil, quarterly pest control, and tree and shrub care.
How is Green Lawn Fertilizing different from the national lawn care chains?
We are a family-owned, TDA-licensed company, and the owner's family does the work. There are no contracts: the service you receive and the results you see become our contract. We use full-strength pre-emergents and post-emergents with a custom-blended fertilizer, and you get an email before and after every single visit.
