Growth Regulator

Does the idea of applying a growth regulator on your lawn seem foreign?  After all you have done and spent on your lawn, slow down it's growth?  I thought long and hard about it before I gave it a try.  Now its like my cell phone, I can't be without it.  Along with keeping my fescue turf tipsy on fungicide all summer, I give it a growth regulator chaser!

The benefits of less frequent mowing is obvious.  The additional benefits include less need for irrigation, a slightly darker color, improved performance of brown patch control efforts and turf plants compensate for the growth reduction by more aggressive root development.  So, enjoy mowing less knowing that your lawn is benefiting in its own ways and is appreciating seeing you less... mowing.

This service should only be considered when also practicing brown patch control since a lawn must grow to recover from brown patch.  Fungicide and growth regulator can't be applied together.  I got poor results from the growth regulator when I mixed that cocktail.

You can expect about four weeks of slow growth.  At that time you can reapply for another month of less mowing.  This is the beginning of the fourth year of using growth regulator and my turf quality is obscene.  I also put growth regulator on certain shrubs too.

Were you aware that we also treat landscapes for parasitic insects such as fleas and ticks?  This application will also knock down the pests too.  Mosquitoes, chiggers, biting flies, no-see-ums will also be noticeably absent from your outdoor living space.
