There is a specific walking speed for the correct amount of product to be applied. Taking the hose spraying into account, a wide path covers a large area. It may look fast, but thanks to the years of experience and training we give our technicians, you can be assured that the correct amount of product is being applied.
We recommend waiting 24 hours to mow your lawn after it has had a treatment or products applied to it.
Once the product has dried it is safe to allow children or animals on the lawn.
We typically come out for treatments every 4 to 6 weeks, but this could change depending on your program since each property is unique.
Weeds are in the soil and are transported by wind and animals. Hot weather and heavy rain affect how many weeds will appear on a property. Once the weeds emerge from the soil, they can be sprayed. Some weeds are persistent and need to be sprayed several times.
Shade, moisture and soil are a few reasons that you could have moss on your lawn. To remove it, we suggest raking up the moss, collecting it, and then applying lime.
To help with growing grass in shaded areas, we advise trimming any nearby trees to get maximum sunlight to produce better germination.
Most lawn care companies use a liquid fertilizer which usually has a quicker green up. Also, some homeowners irrigate their yard, which keeps it green all through the summer. At Next LVL Landscaping Services, we make us of Lebanon Chemical granular fertilizer with iron. We like to use local companies with a proven record in fertilizer efficiency.
We recommend removing the top layers of soil and reseeding the area if you know that a dog or animal has urinated on it.
After a weed control application we recommend waiting approximately 24 hours before watering your lawn.
This process is one of the best, and most underutilized, treatments for your lawn. Top dressing and over-seeding is completed by spreading a ½ inch of top dressing soil on the lawn, followed by spreading grass seed. This helps thicken the grass and prevents the development of weeds. The top dress also acts as a fertilizer as it works its way down to the roots. After this process is completed it is important to follow a strict watering schedule until the grass germinates and grows to 4 or 5 inches in height. The seeds must stay moist and cannot dehydrate as the young grass shoots are vulnerable to dehydration.
Liquid weed control only kills the weeds it touches. New weeds germinate every day in lawns, especially if neighboring properties do not get treated. It is impossible to kill every weed throughout the season as we are not usually on lawns July through August.
Chemical fertilizers are a “quick fix” solution. They provide the nutrients grass needs, but at the expense of our water, soil and the living environment within the soil. Organic fertilizers are made from natural ingredients and break down slowly to produce a long lasting feeding for your lawn. Organic fertilizers are an all around better choice.
We make use of reel mowers for back-up in case of light rain. They are not as convenient as the electric mowers we use, but they are much better for the grass. The reason being reel mowers actually cut the grass. This allows grass to heal faster. Mowers powered by a motor don’t actually cut the grass; they tear it with speed and force.
