This section will be updated regularly, if
you have a question feel free to contact us by phone or email at info@groundsservices.com.
How are my applications scheduled and
how often can I expect you out?
Applications are spaced [roughly] every 6-7 weeks, depending
on the weather & your particular program. If weeds come
up in between visits, give us a call. We'll get a technician
out as soon as possible to apply the weed control.
What is a roll over?
A service roll over is pretty common for companies like ours.
After one season ends, your services automatically roll over
to the next season. If needed, we can contact you prior to
coming out the next season. Just let one of our staff know
and we will add a note to your account.
Does Grub Control also Control Moles?
We hear this question often... So often that it was actually
the inspiration for this FAQ. The fact is grub control does
not control moles. It's not a mole repellant nor a pesticide
that targets mammals. It does, however, control the grub population
in your yard and grubs are one of the things moles eat. Moles
also eat earthworms (which is actually their preferred food
source) and subsurface insects. For more information on moles,

What happens
if it rains after a Chemical lawn care application?
Grounds Services use granular fertilizer pellets and liquid weed
control. Rain will actually help the granular fertilizer break down
and get into the soil - however, if there is a lot of rain then
the granular fertilizer may be washed off the surface or leach right
through. Liquid weed control will need to be reapplied if it has
rained within 2 hours after our visit. Give us a call to set up
a technician visit.
How long do my
kids and pets need to stay off the lawn?
At least 2-3 hours after a liquid application has been applied
(whether it be weed control, round-up, insect control, fungicide
or anything in between). You want the product to dry completely
before you play in the grass.
When can I mow
my lawn?
If you plan on bagging the grass clippings, we ask that you wait
2-3 days. If you do not plan on bagging your clippings, you may
mow the next day since the fertilizer will be discharged back into
the lawn.
