Preparing for a Turf Treatment

Weed free yard
You're serious about outdoing the neighbor's lawn, so you signed up for turf treatment services. Now your first visit is scheduled. What do you need to do to get ready for a lawn treatment application? Is there anything you should be aware of? Today, we're going to talk about what should be done to prepare your lawn for a treatment application service visit.

Clean Up

Clearing your lawn of obstacles and debris is the main thing you need to do before every lawn treatment application. Objects and debris will block the chemical, fertilizer, or whatever is being applied from reaching the turf. If the treatment can't get to the soil, it won't be effective.

This includes leaves, which can be especially problematic in the fall and winter. Even a light layer of fallen leaves can greatly reduce the effectiveness of a treatment. If you do not have a lawn service to clean up the leaves for you, you'll need to get the leaves off the lawn before the day of the scheduled treatment. Many companies will not make an application if the lawn has a significant amount of leaves covering it. The application will be rescheduled once the lawn is clear.

Avoid Mowing

It is easier to spot any lawn weeds in your yard if they aren't recently mowed. This is why lawn treatment companies often request that you do not mow the yard right before the visit. Even with regular treatment, a few weeds will always manage to pop up here and there, which is why ongoing treatment is vital to the weed control process.

​The treatment technician will walk the lawn and spot treat any weeds that have popped up on each visit. If they are able to see the weeds more easily, it's less likely that any weeds will be missed.

Communicate with Other Services

If you have two companies providing different services, like one company for lawn care and another for weed control, make sure there's no conflicts. We've had times when we've arrived at a yard only to find that a lawn crew is cutting the yard. This can cause the service to be delayed and require rescheduling.

Follow Service Provider Instructions

Your treatment service provider will usually email you when a visit is scheduled and provide you with instructions. Make sure to read these notices carefully and follow instructions from your service provider.

​If you don't understand something in the instructions or have questions about your service, reach out to them before your service date. This will help everything go smoothly and provide you with the best results from your service visit!

I love that you talked about the importance of following instructions to prevent misunderstandings. My cousin informed me that he wants turf installed in their backyard because their present lawn has become discolored, and he asked if I had any suggestions. Thanks to your helpful article, I'll be sure to tell him that it would be much better if we sought the advice of a reputable lawn supplies service, as they can assist us with our problems.

It's great that you talked about keeping your lawn in good shape and how to prevent weed growth. My wife and I just moved into another neighborhood, and our house came with a large front yard space. We want to have the greenest lawn out there, so we'll be sure to read your tips carefully. We appreciate your advice on how to identify weeds on our lawn.

I liked how this post pointed out that a lawn treatment service provider typically sends an email when a visit is booked and presents you with instructions. My mother wants to keep the inviting vibe of our lawn. I should advise her to schedule regular maintenance with a lawn treatment provider.

I love how you point out that the instructions given to you by those servicing your lawn should be followed. My parents hate taking care of their lawn because of allergies. They've been looking into hiring a service to help them with the maintenance.

I love that you talked that how every lawn treatment should be a decluttering process to ensure safety. My mother told me yesterday that she was hoping to find a lawn service to resolve the overrun weeds in her garden for a beautiful appearance. She asked if I had any idea what would be the best option for a safe service process. Thanks to this enlightening article, I'll tell her that consulting a trusted lawn weed control service can help provide more information about the process.

Preparing for a turf treatment is a critical step in ensuring the success of the treatment and the health of your lawn. Some essential tasks to consider before applying any turf treatment include mowing the lawn, removing any debris or obstacles, and ensuring the soil is not too dry or wet. It's also essential to read and follow the instructions on the product label carefully, including the recommended application rates and safety precautions. Additionally, consider factors such as weather conditions and the time of day when applying the treatment to ensure the best results. Proper preparation can help maximize the effectiveness of the turf treatment, reduce the risk of damage to your lawn, and ensure a healthier and more vibrant lawn in the long run.

I totally agree when you said that it is important to read the instructions regarding the treatment you are going to get for your property and asking questions is a must if there's something that confuses you. I will keep that in mind when I look for residential sa delivery services and lawn professionals that I where to work on my front yard. And I definitely need to know how to take care of the turf once the experts are done planting them and doing everything that needs to be need done to achieve the results we wanted.

What Our Clients Are Saying

​We've just started using Real Turf for all of our lawn maintenance. Everyone has been very courteous, knowledgeable and responsive, not to mention they are quite reasonable. They even performed an extra service cutting up a few limbs from the storm and hauling away, even though that's not part of their normal service. I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for great service and total lawn care, including insect, weed control and fertilization.
