Questions
What grass seed works best for Midwest lawns?
Our Heat Wave fescue and Blue Wave bluegrass blends are specifically engineered for Midwest conditions, offering drought resistance and cold tolerance.
When should I fertilize my lawn?
Follow our 5-step Idiot Proof Program: Prevent! in March, Weed & Feed in April-June, second Prevent! in May, Renovator in September, and Snowman in November.
How do I control crabgrass effectively?
Apply Prevent! crabgrass pre-emergent in mid-March before soil temperatures reach 55°F, followed by a second application in mid-May.
Can I overseed existing grass successfully?
Yes! Use Macho Mix or Estate Blend in fall with Renovator fertilizer. Proper seed-to-soil contact through aeration improves germination rates.
Are your products pet-safe?
All fertilizers are safe once watered in and dried. We recommend keeping pets off treated areas until products have fully dried (4-6 hours).
Do you offer lawn care advice?
Our Green Team provides free expert guidance on seed selection, fertilization timing, weed identification, and proper mowing techniques.
