Q: Agrolawn serviced my lawn today and it rained shortly after the application, What can I expect?
Agrolawn applies both granular and liquid materials during an application. The granular part can only benefit from the rain because it is getting watered in. The liquid part is usually weed controls or fungicides and they need time to dry before watering. Sometimes they dry quickly and sometimes they take awhile. We asked that the customer give it a chance to see if it has worked. The customer can tell within 4-7 days if it is working because the weeds will begin a wilting process.There are many companies that provide lawn care services. We are confident that you will be pleased with the high level of service and quality that Ferta-Lawn provides.
