Frequently Asked
Questions
Below you will find a list of the most common questions and
answers about the services we provide.
Why should I use Perf-a-Lawn?
Pef-a-Lawn is a locally
owned business that cares about every customer. Our number one goal is
to keep our customers satisfied and along with that, for our customers
to be able to have a friendly relationship with our lawn technicians and
employees. Here at Perf-a-Lawn, we encourage our lawn technicians to
talk to every customer after each application, to ensure that the
customer knows what was done to their lawn. By doing this, our goal is
to create a friendly atmosphere with our customer, which will ultimately
keep them satisfied.
Is there a contract to sign?
No, there is no contract to sign and you may cancel at any time. Perf-a-Lawn
has several different payment options to choose from, including a "pay
as you receive" plan and a discounted "pre-payment" plan.
Do you have any kind of guarantee for your service?
Yes, at Perf-a-Lawn we guarantee our service. If you are not fully
satisfied with every treatment simply let us know and we will
immediately correct the problem. We will not stop working until you are
satisfied.
Why won't my weeds die?
Our liquid weed controls are the most effective available. The weeds
begin to curl and disappear in 2-3 days, but it may take up to two weeks
before they are completely gone . Unusually hot weather, a heavy rain
within 12 hours of treatment, or mowing immediately after treatment can
reduce control. The good news is that as a Perf-a-Lawn customer, you can
simply give us a call and we will be out to retreat your lawn within 48
hours ... at no extra cost to you!
How can we keep our neighbor's weeds from spreading
into our lawn?
The best defense against weeds is thick dense turf. When sunlight is
unable to reach the soil, weed seeds cannot germinate. At Perf-a-Lawn,
our fertilizers are carefully chosen and applied at the correct time to
improve turf density and to protect against weeds before they appear.
Can I mow the same day my lawn is treated?
If only our granular fertilizer was applied, you may mow immediately.
However, if weed control was applied, do not mow your lawn for 24 hours.
Your invoice has detailed information about what we applied. As always,
do not hesitate to call our office if you have any questions. |

Should I water after my lawn application?
No, while a light rain should not effect the weed control treatment, it
is best to leave the lawn treatment on the weeds until it is absorbed.
This process usually requires less than 24 hours.
How long should we
stay off the lawn after treatment?
If your lawn only received a granular fertilizer application, you can
begin lawn activity right away. However, if a liquid weed control or
insect control was applied, please stay off the grass until the liquid
has dried or the insect control is watered into the soil. Depending on
the temperature, humidity and wind, this can take from one to several
hours.
I have beetles on my lawn and in the shrubs ... does
this mean I will have grubs?
No, Although the beetle is the adult stage of the grub, they do not
always lay their eggs directly after feeding on your ornamentals or
shrubs. If you are scheduled for our guaranteed grub control, your lawn
will be protected. If not, give us a call. We can inspect your lawn and
recommend the proper treatment.
Fleas can make our dog's life miserable in the summer.
Can you help us?
Yes, We can treat your lawn in the summer as an optional service to
control fleas and ticks that go after household pets.
Why did the Perf-a-Lawn technician make the weed
control application on a rainy day?
If the weed control was applied in a light rain, results should still be
satisfactory. The weed control is foliar absorbed and applied with a
material to help it stick to the leaf surface before being taken in
through the pores of the leaf. As long as the material is not washed off
the leaf, control will occur. If you do not see leaf curling in 10 days,
please call our office for a free re-treatment.
How safe are your applications for my kids and pets?
Perf-a-Lawn's granular fertilizers are not considered hazardous
materials. There is no record of human or pet injury resulting from a
Perf-a-Lawn fertilizer treatment. Our products are all registered for
use on home lawns and contain many of the same active ingredients as the
products you buy at the local nursery or garden store. Used by our
licensed specialists, in strict compliance with labeled instructions,
they do not represent any significant threat to your family or pets.
While no lawn pest control material may legally be classified as
'completely safe', our weed and insect controls are termed 'practically
non-toxic', the lowest pesticide toxicity classification. |
