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.
Summer is not over yet
Continue checking the lawn and sprinkler coverage regularly, even if temperatures briefly become milder.
If your service completion email identifies a property-specific adjustment, follow that exception for this visit.
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENTS
Keep your sprinkler adjusted through late summer.
August heat and limited rainfall can continue placing heavy demand on the lawn. Maintain adequate watering time, monitor for dry areas, and confirm that every sprinkler zone has even coverage. 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
Make sure your lawn receives at least 1½ inches per week.
Rainfall + irrigation
At least 1½ inches total each weekDuring this period, it is essential that your lawn receives at least 1½ inches of water per week from rainfall and sprinkler watering combined. If you did not increase your watering after the last visit, it is essential to increase it now to meet your lawn's needs during the hottest parts of summer. Measure rainfall and use your sprinklers to make up the difference. As summer heat builds, monitor soil moisture and increase watering as needed. If we are in a drought, use the watering calculator and select “Extreme heat or drought” for the 2-inch-per-week target to adjust your sprinkler schedule. Enter recent rainfall so it counts toward the total.

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.

What We Applied
A premium slow-release fertilizer with iron and foliar micronutrients designed to maintain lawn color, density, and vigor through late summer.

Why It Matters
Steady nutrition supports turf performance late in the growing season, while iron and micronutrients help maintain a deep green appearance during stressful conditions.
03
What You May Notice
Color enhancement should develop gradually after the treatment and its required drying period. Overall response still depends on adequate moisture and lawn condition.

Grass-Specific Notes
Bermuda and Zoysia can remain actively growing while moisture is adequate. St. Augustine requires dependable watering and treatment choices suited to its summer tolerances.
