Frequently Asked Questions

How long should it take for a specialist to complete an application?
Our specialists are expert-trained and our specialized equipment is designed to treat 1,000 sq. ft. in just one minute. TruGreen's calibrated technology ensures your lawn always receives the right amount of care (ex. proper nutrients, right amount of product applied, right amount of time spent applying product) it needs to thrive. This enables TruGreen to consistently provide a healthy, green, great looking lawn for our customers.
What is the timeframe between lawn visits?
For lawn care, we will visit your lawn every 4-6 weeks to achieve a healthy green lawn.
When should I expect to see results?
Your lawn will benefit from a consistent, year-round plan to achieve a lush, healthy, weed-free lawn. Depending on the condition of your lawn, it can take time to have a great lawn. As your specialist spends more time working on your lawn, your lawn’s appearance will continue to improve.
Weeds are best treated before they germinate with pre-emergent weed control, which is applied in the fall to warm season grasses and in the spring to cool season grasses. Post-emergent weed control can be applied to visible weeds, and will begin to see a decline within 10-14 days and several weeks for them disappear. For weeds that are difficult to control, multiple visits or specialized products may be required to gain acceptable control.
A combination of fertilization and adequate watering will help ensure your lawn receives the proper nutrition and hydration it needs to thrive. Depending on your soil PH, a soil amendment may be needed to ensure a healthy foundation for growth. The timing of such applications and expectations for results will vary by region. Plus, lawn-damaging insect control can help keep grubs or chinch bugs from damaging your healthy turf.
Your lawn may also benefit from aeration and overseeding, where appropriate, to allow the roots access to air, nutrients and water. This will help achieve a thicker, healthier lawn that can crowd out weeds from gaining a foothold in the spring.
Every lawn and its challenges are unique, and we will provide progress updates and special instructions for your lawn at each service visit.
Is my TruGreen lawn service guaranteed?
Yes. Customers who have a full program plan in place with TruGreen benefit from our Healthy Lawn Guarantee®, which means we’ll gladly re-visit your property between scheduled visits at no additional cost to make necessary adjustments to deliver quality results with your lawn.
Does TruGreen use dry granular or liquid materials when treating my lawns?
TruGreen uses both dry and liquid materials depending on the time of year and what is best for your lawn. Each time we service your lawn, we will provide a service ticket listing the products we used during the visit.
What type of seed is used for overseeding treatment?
TruGreen focuses on grass seed varieties that are best suited for your geographical area and the grass-type in your lawn. The seed applied to TruGreen customers' lawns has excellent purity and expected germination potential. These high quality seed varieties have shown improved disease and drought tolerance in university trials.
Why can't you spray the weeds near my flower beds?
We cannot spray weeds in the flower beds, because the products we use are labeled for use in lawns and may cause harm to plants in your flower beds. We keep a buffer around flowers and landscape plants since our lawn applications focus on controlling weeds in your lawn.

What to Expect
To start, your TruGreen specialist will perform a Healthy Lawn Analysis®
Every four to six weeks, we’ll visit your property.
After each visit, your specialist will leave a service summary with you or at your front door.
Your specialist will offer tips and suggestions for care between visits.
We’ll come out as often as needed to ensure your satisfaction, even if you don’t have a visit scheduled.
Don’t worry about brown or bare spots. That means weeds are dying out, and your grass has more room to grow.
