Is there anything special I need to do before my lawn application?

Not really. We usually gather whatever information we need regarding the timing of your application before we arrive. As a courtesy, we try to work around everyone’s mowing schedule. But unfortunately this is not always possible.

In the Fall season, leaves on the ground can delay a spray application. But we will notify you when and if it’s an issue.

Is there anything special I need to do after my lawn application?

Following an application we will notify you of any “special instructions” By using our door insert and a text message (if requested). For the most part we need you to do nothing….just relax.

Are lawn applications safe?

All of our products are EPA approved and applied by a licensed, trained technician. As with any agricultural product, you should always be responsible, use common sense and follow the steps on the label. This includes the “special instructions” we provide to you following weed & insect control applications.

Do I need to be home when lawn service is performed?

No, it is not necessary that you are home when your lawn service is done.

How am I billed for my services?

Several Options:

  • Receive your invoice by mail.
  • Receive your invoice by email (Quickbooks)
  • Receive your amount due upon completion of services (at your door).
  • Pre-pay at the beginning of the season by check (mail) or electronically (email or phone by calling our office 276-238-2400).

Do you take credit/debit cards or bank transfer?

We do. However, we do not take your card payment at your home. But, we will email you your invoice. This invoice/bill is through Quickbooks Accounting. It is a safe and easy method to pay using a credit/debit card or bank transfer.

How high should I mow my lawn?

4 inches.

What Grass Seed do you recommend?

In most lawns I recommend a “turf-type tall fescue blend”. These contain 3-4 different types of turf-type fescue seed that are blended together. If you ask for a “turf-type fescue blend” at a store and they don’t know what you’re asking for, you’re shopping at the wrong store. I DO NOT recommend “contractors mix” for a permanent lawn grass.

Turf-Type Tall Fescues are the most improved, greenest, most heat tolerant grasses available. When going through the motions of seeding, don’t waste your time using inferior grass seed. Unless you want an inferior lawn.
