Lawn Care Services FAQs

As soon as the grass is dry, you can let your dog outside. Usually, this is within an hour on a sunny day in Macon. 

If the weed control was applied during a light rain, the results should still be satisfactory. The weed control is applied with a material to help it stick to the leaf’s surface before being absorbed through the pores of the leaf. As long as the material is not washed off the leaf, control will occur. If you do not see leaf curling in 10 days, please call our office for a free re-treatment.

Some broadleaf weeds will curl up and die almost immediately and some will take as much as two weeks to die. In any case, if there are still weeds present after two weeks, simply call us and we will come right out and reapply the weed control at no extra charge.

Unfortunately, lawn care is not like switching on a light and having the grass stay green all year. Just like people, lawns need continual feeding. There are fertilizers that feed over longer periods of time, but this is not all our technicians do during a visit. Your lawn technician will check for dry spots or weed problems that need to be kept in check. Additionally, some weeds appear in the spring while other weeds show up in the fall, which means your lawn will require different treatments at different times.

Our liquid weed controls are the most effective available. The weeds begin to curl and disappear within two to three days, but it may take up to two weeks before they are completely gone. Unusually hot weather, a heavy rain within 12 hours of treatment, or mowing immediately after treatment can reduce control. The good news is that as a Liquid Lawn customer, you can simply give us a call and we will be out to retreat your lawn within 48 hours at no extra cost to you!

If your lawn received only a granular fertilizer application, you can begin lawn activity right away. However, if a liquid weed control or insect control was applied, please stay off the grass until the liquid has dried or the insect control is watered into the soil. Depending on the temperature, humidity, and wind, this can take from one to several hours.

For the best results, we advise that you wait 24 hours after a treatment before mowing your lawn. If your mower is set to a higher cut, you can technically mow the same day and still be okay, but waiting 24 hours is best.
