Your Instructions
Watering
Do not water on the day of treatment. Water the lawn thoroughly the following morning with a 25- to 30-minute cycle.
Mowing
If weeds are present, wait 48 hours to mow. If no weeds are present, you can resume normal landscaping after the fertilizer is watered in.
Give the treatment time
Do not pull or disturb treated weeds immediately. Allow time for the weed control to move through the plant.
If your service completion email identifies a property-specific adjustment, follow that exception for this visit.
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENTS
Spring green-up does not happen at the same pace everywhere.
Soil temperature, shade, recent weather, and grass type can affect how quickly your lawn responds. This time of year, you typically will not need to water as much because we usually receive some rain. Continue monitoring the weather and adjust your sprinkler schedule when necessary. If you are unsure about any of these recommendations, please contact our office and we'll be happy to provide additional guidance.
RECOMMENDED SPRINKLER SETTINGS
Use this schedule only when rainfall is not supplying the water.
Rainfall + irrigation
1 inch per week from rain and irrigation combinedSpring rainfall may supply the water your lawn needs. Follow the full 1-inch-per-week schedule below only when there is no rainfall. If you receive some rain, water only enough to make up the difference to 1 inch for the week. If rainfall supplies the full inch, skip routine irrigation. Follow this round's treatment watering instructions first.

Large sprinkler systems: If your sprinkler system has a large number of zones, you may not be able to follow the suggested schedule exactly. Spread the watering passes across multiple consecutive days as needed, keeping the same total watering time per zone and following local watering rules.
Follow the treatment watering instructions above first. Adjust runtime for your measured sprinkler output and rainfall, and follow local watering rules.
01
What We Applied
A premium slow-release fertilizer with iron and micronutrients, plus targeted spot treatment of active weeds when conditions allow.
02
Why It Matters
Slow-release nutrition feeds the lawn steadily, while iron and micronutrients support early-season color, turf health, and density without forcing excessive growth.
03
What You May Notice
Color and growth improve gradually after the fertilizer is watered in. Treated weeds may twist, discolor, or stop growing before they decline.
04
Grass-Specific Notes
Bermuda and Zoysia may green up at different rates depending on temperature and shade. St. Augustine receives products and rates selected for its particular tolerances.
