Post-Application Instructions:

• Water in the application with ½ - ¾ in of rainfall or irrigation within 2-3 days of the application for best results. You may see minor discoloration around weeds sprayed but will recover with watering.
• Do not mow your lawn until the application has been watered in as stated above and after 48 hours of the application. A percentage of the product will remain on the leaf and stem tissue of the weeds until it is watered in. Mowing within 48 hours can remove the weed control and reduce its ability to control the weeds.

Mowing Height

To prepare your lawn for spring green-up, we recommend that you start lowering the mowing height of your grass during March. Mowing the grass lower will allow the soil to warm up, allowing for faster green-up.

Watering Your Lawn

It’s important to water lawn applications in within 7 to 10 days after spring lawn applications!

Thicker Grass

Lawn treatments will not last as long if there are thin grass areas, heavily compacted soil, excessive surface moisture and low mowed turf. If you have any of these conditions, expect to see weeds. We can target and control the weeds that do come in, but it’s always better to prevent them. Remember, the thicker the grass, the lower the chance of weeds!

Aeration

Compacted soil prevents air, water, and fertilizer from reaching your lawn’s root system and may cause dead spots, patches and/or thinning. Aerating your lawn increases penetration of vital water, air and nutrients. It also loosens soil to encourage deeper, broader root growth and helps soil fungi and bacteria degrade thatch. Aerating also allows the weed control treatment to reach the weed’s root system. Contact Waynes if you need your lawn aerated!

Post-Application Instructions:

Watering:

Water with ½ - ¾ inch of rainfall or irrigation within 2-3 days of summer lawn applications (or 5-7 days if under water restrictions).

Water deeply to 4-6 inches to promote strong roots.

Best time: Early morning (3-10 a.m.) to reduce evaporation and prevent disease.

Mowing:

Wait 48 hours after watering before mowing to ensure weed control is effective.

Bermuda: 1-2.5 inches | Zoysia: 1-2.5 inches | Centipede: 1.5-2 inches | St. Augustine: 3-4 inches | Bahia: 3-4 inches

Mow every 5-7 days and never cut more than ⅓ of the grass height at a time.

Keep mower blades sharp to prevent stress and disease.

Dry Spots & Soil Health:

Uneven watering, compacted soil, and thatch can cause localized dry spots.

Aeration and proper watering help maintain even turf health.

Post-Application Instructions:

Watering:

Apply ½ - ¾ inch of water within 2-3 days of fall lawn treatments (or 5-7 days if under restrictions).

Watering is essential to activate pre-emergent weed control.

Mowing:

Wait 48 hours after watering before mowing to ensure weed control effectiveness.

Raise mowing height for winter dormancy to protect roots from cold damage.

Leaf Removal:

Clear leaves weekly to prevent fungus and allow proper lawn treatments.

Watering:

Apply ½ - ¾ inch of water within 2-3 days of winter lawn treatments for best results.

During winter, rainfall may allow up to 14 days for watering in.

Mowing:

Wait 48 hours after watering before mowing.

Allow grass to stay taller in winter to protect roots from cold damage.

Mowing over weeds can enhance weed control.

Leaf Removal:

Remove leaves weekly to prevent fungus and ensure effective lawn treatments.
