Your Instructions
Watering
The fertilizer will need to be watered in with a heavy watering. We recommend a 25- to 30-minute cycle. If weeds are present, wait 24 hours before watering.
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
Make sure your lawn receives at least 1 inch per week.
Rainfall + irrigation
At least 1 inch total each weekDuring this period, it is essential that your lawn receives at least 1 inch of water per week from rainfall and sprinkler watering combined. Measure rainfall and use your sprinklers to make up the difference. As summer heat builds, monitor soil moisture and increase watering as needed.

ACROSS TWO WATERING DAYSDay 1: 3 passes · Day 2: 2 passesSeparate watering days by two or three days. Run each zone for 20 minutes per pass through the complete system.
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 seasonal fertilizer application to promote early-season color and steady growth, plus targeted spot treatment of active weeds when conditions allow.
02
Why It Matters
This visit supplies nutrition as warm-season turf begins active growth while addressing weeds that compete with the lawn for water, light, and nutrients.
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.

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.
WHEN TO CONTACT GREEN GRASS
Contact us if you notice an unusual lawn response or if treated weeds show no visible change after 14–21 days.
