Q. Is there a contract to sign?

A. No, There is no contract to sign and you may cancel at any time. Jurassic has several easy payment options to choose from including a "pay as you go" plan, a discounted "single payment" plan, and even a "60 day same as cash" which allows you to pay for half of any treatment within 30 days and the balance within 60 days.

Q. Why won't my weeds die?

A. Our three-way, liquid weed controls are the most effective available. The weeds begin to curl and wither in 2-3 days, but it may take up to ten days before they are gone completely. Still, unusually hot weather, a heavy rain within 24 hours of treatment, or mowing immediately after treatment can reduce control. The good news is that as a full program customer, you can simply give us a call and we'll be out to retreat in 48 hours … at no extra cost to you!

Q. Should I water after my lawn application?

A. No. While light watering or a brief shower should not seriously impact the weed control treatment, it is best to leave the control material on the weed until it is absorbed. This process usually requires at least 24 hours.

Q. Can I mow the same day my lawn is treated?

A. If only fertilizer was applied you may mow immediately. If, however, weed control was applied, do now mow for at least 24 hours. Refer to your treatment invoice for application details. As always, call our office if you have any questions.

Q. How long should we stay off the lawn after treatment?

A. If your lawn only received a granular fertilizer application, you can begin lawn activity right away. If, however, a liquid weed control was applied, please stay off the grass until the liquid has dried. Depending on the temperature, humidity and wind, drying should take from one to several hours.

Q. I have beetles on my lawn and in the shrubs … does this mean I will have grubs?

A. Yes. The beetle is the adult stage of the insect. After defoliating the ornamentals, shrubs and some trees, the beetle lays eggs in the soil. In a few days, grubs will hatch and begin feeding on grass roots. If you are on our Premium Lawn Service, you are protected. If not, call our office now for a protective treatment or lawn inspection.

Q. How can we keep our neighbor's dandelions for spreading into our lawn?

A. The best defense against dandelions is a thick carpet of grass … so thick it doesn't give the dandelion seeds a chance to sprout. That's one reason why Jurassic Lawn Care focuses on improving turf density. During the season we constantly look for new weed invaders and knock them out if they appear.

Q. We've had disappointments with lawn services in the past… why should we think Jurassic Lawn Care will be any different?

A. First, we use only Lesco's patented fertilizers … the best in the world … and the same ones used on 96 out of 100 of the top golf courses in the United States.

Second, all the work is done by Jurassic professionals … experts who have been thoroughly trained, and receive ongoing training to keep up with the latest in new products and technology.

And third, Jurassic specialists are continually evaluated by our company on the quality of the lawns they service. It is a responsibility they never take lightly, for it is the basis for their raises and promotions.

Q. We appreciate the fact that our Jurassic Lawn Care specialist can treat our lawn and landscape on the same visit but other companies have told us that they treat lawns and landscapes on different trips because special equipment and training are required for trees and shrubs. Which is best?

A. It is true that special equipment and training are required to treat trees and shrubs. Many companies cannot treat both at the same time because they work out of a pickup truck or van and cannot carry the necessary equipment for both lawn and landscape. At Jurassic Lawn Care we have our trucks set up with separate lawn care, and tree and shrub equipment. Even though in the beginning it costs us more, in the long run it saves us and you money. (All Tree and Shrub customers get a 20% discount on their landscape program if they are also receiving a lawn care program.)
