Lawn Care FAQ’s

Generally, all turf types require approximately 1″ of water a week to thrive (this can come from irrigation or natural rainfall). As a general rule, be sure to water if your grass starts to look straw-like, gets a blue-gray tint or your footprints remain in the turf longer than usual. Just remember, though: it is possible to overwater your lawn.

Mowing height ranges vary by grass type:

• Fescue: 3.5-4’’
• Bermuda: 1-1.5”
• Zoysia: 1.5-2.5’’
• Centipede: 1-1.75’’
• St. Augustine: 1.75-2.25’’

If an area in your lawn has had a problem growing grass for years, using sod will be a short-term solution to a permanent problem. It would be better to identify the cause of poor turf growth before applying sod (we can help with this).

Each treatment is seasonally designed to take care of specific types of turf needs at the precise time they need attention. Taking less than the full program can compromise the quality of your lawn.

No. There is not a product available that can do this. But by using high-quality products, Fairway Green can reduce the population of weeds and insects to the point that they are not visually noticeable or damaging.

If possible, try to stay off of it for about an hour after. This will allow any products to dry enough and perform at their best.

It is best to wait 24 hours after a treatment to reap the full benefits. If you cut your lawn before then, your treatment may take an extra two weeks to show.

If you can’t water your lawn due to its size, water restrictions or for any other reason, treatments will still be effective. However, it may take longer to see a response to treatment. In addition, your lawn may go into a semi-dormant state and lose some color and fullness.

No! Rainfall will not reduce the effectiveness of treatment. In fact, moisture from rain or irrigation can even enhance results. However, if you feel heavy rain has affected it, please wait a couple weeks and contact us with any concerns.

The average lawn will take about 7-10 minutes to treat.

Broadleaf weeds usually take up to 2 weeks to show signs of control. Tougher ones may even take multiple applications to show results. If Broadleaf weeds are present between 2-4 weeks after your full treatment, contact us and will be happy to return and provide another application at no charge. Just remember: it is only possible to control weeds in the lawn with treatment, not eradicate them entirely.
