Are all the treatments necessary? Back
to Top
Each treatment is designed to take care of your lawn's needs at the
precise time they need attention. Taking less than the full program
can compromise
the quality of your lawn. Skipping a treatment also voids our guarantee
for the remainder of the season.
Will my lawn be totally weed free? Back
to Top
No lawn care service can promise this - not even the experts
at Lawn & Pest
Solutions. By using the very best of materials we can reduce the population
of weeds to the point that they are not visually noticeable or damaging.
If at any time you feel the treatments are not effectively managing
the weed population, please give us a call.

How long before the weeds die? Back
to Top
Weed control is dependent on the temperature. A general rule of thumb
is the colder the temperature the longer it takes for weeds to die. Weed
death can become evident as soon as seven day s in the summer, and as
long as twenty-one days in the winter.
Will I be left instructions after each treatment? Back
to Top
Yes. Your Lawn & Pest Solutions representative will leave you with
instructions and a full explanation of the treatment at the time of
each service. We may also make recommendations on mowing, watering,
and other
maintenance practices for your lawn. Please follow these instructions
and recommendations when possible to maximize the results of the service.
If for some reason you cannot follow the instructions on watering or
mowing, the treatments will still be effective but the reaction time
may slow down.
What if it rains after an application? Back
to Top
If we applied fertilizer, don’t worry! The sooner it gets
rainfall or irrigation, the sooner it goes to work.
Since weed control applications are usually applied
a liquid, it is best that a weed application stays on the grass for
a minimum of 2 hours
and optimally 48 hours. For optimum results, we recommend waiting 48
hours before mowing or watering. However, most products that we apply
can stay on the lawn for as little as 2 hours before rain and still produce
the desired results.
If it does rain soon after an application, we always come back to check
that the desired level of weed control is being achieved. Reapplication
as the result of rainfall is completed at no extra charge.
Will my lawn always be green, Spring, Summer and Fall? Back
to Top
The Seven Step program is designed to establish and maintain optimum
turfgrass color and vigor throughout the growing season. However,
if Mother Nature doesn't cooperate with us, especially during the
Summer,
you may need to water and mow in a special way to help the Lawn & Pest
Solutions team keep your lawn green.
When is the best time to water? Back
to Top
Your watering schedule is one of the most important elements in establishing
and maintaining a healthy, beautiful lawn. The best time to water is
between 4am & 10am. Avoid watering in the late afternoon or evening
to avoid disease problems.
Are
the materials Lawn & Pest Solutions uses
harmful to my pets or children? Back
to Top
Lawn & Pest Solutions uses only the safest materials. All of
these materials are registered with the Environmental Protection
Agency for
use on turfgrass and are applied in strict accordance with the labels.
It is recommended that you stay off of your lawn for two hours following
a treatment. This will allow the material to dry enough for the continued
enjoyment of your lawn.
How
does Lawn & Pest Solutions control
weeds? Back
to Top
Lawn & Pest Solutions uses the most effective pre-emergence herbicides
available for our area. This material is applied during the cooler
months of the year while weeds are still in the seed stage. As temperatures
warm and the weed seeds germinate, the protective barrier formed
by this
herbicide kills each seedling before it germinates and appears above
the soil surface.
Can I expect my lawn to look better after each year of service? Back
to Top
After a year of continuous service on the Seven Step Program, we can
provide a turf that is 90-95% weed-free. By continuing these treatments
each year, you can maintain this level of weed control and continue
to build a thick, healthy turf.

How will we be billed for the treatments? Back
to Top
An invoice will be mailed after completion of each treatment. Payment
is due upon receipt. Lawn & Pest Solutions also offers you the
opportunity to receive a discount for prepayment of a year's worth
of scheduled services.

Lawn & Pest Solutions guarantee its service? Back

What do I, as a customer, do if I am unhappy with the results? Back
to Top
Call or e-mail us. That's why we're here... to help you! Nobody is perfect.
We make mistakes too. A call to our office will put you on schedule
for a visit by your lawn technician. Our job is to serve you. Just
a call, that's all it takes.
Back to Top
May I have extra service for special problems? Back
to Top
Yes, Lawn & Pest Solutions offers additional services, some
of which include soil test and analysis, fungicide application
for disease
control,
and extra insecticide applications for grubs, ticks, ants, and fleas.
These special applications are provided to you at your request at an
additional charge.
Back to Top
What if I can't water my lawn? Back
to Top
We normally receive enough rainfall that watering your lawn is not necessary.
Our treatments will still be effective without supplemental watering.
Water is just one of the maintenance practices that contributes to
a beautiful lawn. Your lawn may go semi-dormant or lose some of its
color during hot and dry weather, but this is your lawn’s natural
defense to dry conditions.
