We're excited to help you achieve a beautiful, healthy lawn! Preparing your lawn for a treatment is simple and ensures the best results. Here are some steps you can follow: 1. Mow Your Lawn: Mow your lawn to the recommended height a day or two before the scheduled treatment. This helps the treatment penetrate and be more effective. 2. Clear Debris: Remove any toys, sticks, or other debris from your lawn. This ensures that our equipment can evenly apply the treatment without any obstruction. 3. Limit Watering: Avoid watering your lawn right before the treatment. A dry lawn allows the treatment to adhere better to the grass and soil. 4. Mark Sensitive Areas: If you have any areas in your yard that require special attention, such as flower beds or vegetable gardens, please mark them clearly. This will help our technicians avoid these areas. 5. Secure Pets and Children: While our treatments are safe, it’s a good idea to keep pets and children off the lawn until the treatment has dried, usually a few hours after application. By following these steps, you'll help us deliver the best possible results, ensuring your lawn looks lush and vibrant.

While it's possible to hand pull weeds before your scheduled treatment, we generally advise against it. Our lawn care treatments are specifically designed to target and eradicate weeds effectively. By pulling weeds manually, you may inadvertently remove part of the root system but leave enough behind for regrowth, making our treatment less effective. Additionally, our professional-grade herbicides are formulated to target the entire weed, including the roots, ensuring a more comprehensive and long-lasting solution.

No, you do not need to be home for your lawn care service. I am fully equipped to handle all aspects of the service in your absence. To prepare, please remove any furniture, toys, or other items from the lawn, and make sure pets are secured inside. This helps ensure the treatment is carried out efficiently and safely, delivering the best possible results.

After receiving a lawn treatment, it’s important to follow a few simple steps to maximize its effectiveness and promote the health of your lawn. Here’s what you should do: Watering: Wait at least 24 hours before watering to allow the treatment to fully absorb. After this period, water your lawn deeply and consistently, especially if it hasn’t rained. Mowing: Avoid mowing for at least 48 hours. This gives the treatment time to settle and ensures its full effectiveness. Foot Traffic: Minimize foot traffic for the first 24 hours. Keep pets and children off the treated areas during this time. Cleaning: If outdoor furniture, toys, or equipment came into contact with the treated grass, rinse them off to avoid accidental exposure to the chemicals. Observation: Monitor your lawn over the next few days. A temporary color change is normal. If any issues persist or you have concerns, contact us for assistance. By following these steps, you'll help your lawn get the most from the treatment, resulting in a healthier, more vibrant landscape. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Noxious weeds are invasive plant species that can harm the environment, agriculture, and public health. These weeds can quickly overtake your landscape, outcompeting desirable plants and grasses for essential resources like nutrients, water, and sunlight. Examples include poison ivy, Japanese knotweed, and thistles. Contact me for help identifying noxious weeds in the Flathead Valley.

It depends on the situation. Mowing can be an important part of managing noxious weeds, but timing is essential for maximum effectiveness. Mowing at the right time before treatment can significantly improve your weed control efforts. Contact me for expert advice on creating the best strategy for your property.
