Lawn care questions, answered

North Metro Atlanta: Alpharetta, Milton, Cumming, Johns Creek, Duluth, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, Marietta, Woodstock, Canton, Ball Ground and Dawsonville. If you're just outside those, ask anyway. We're based in Cumming and the answer's usually yes.

Use the quote form. It takes about two minutes: tell us what you're hoping to get done, how often, which services, and where the lawn is. We'll get back to you within one business day, and if the lawn needs a look first we'll set up a time to come by.

Yes. The program can start any time of year. Whatever round is next is where you join, and we'd recommend giving it a full year of eight treatments to really see the lawn change.

No. We do everything that makes the grass worth mowing: feeding, weed control, aeration, disease and pest control. Keep your mower, or keep your mowing guy, and we'll handle the rest.

Yes. Grass Daddy Turf Care is licensed and insured, and everything we put down is applied at label rates by trained technicians.

Eight visits a year. Fertilization timed to your grass type, two pre-emergent windows to stop crabgrass and winter weeds before they ever sprout, post-emergent for whatever's already up, and a soil balancer round in early winter to get the pH right.

About every six weeks. The exact timing follows the weather and the grass, not a date on a calendar, because a pre-emergent that goes down late is one that didn't work.

Bermuda and Zoysia, which is most lawns around here, and Fescue for the shaded and cooler lots. Each one gets its own schedule: warm-season lawns eat in the summer, Fescue eats in the fall and spring.

Water deep and less often, early in the morning. Mow at the right height for your grass and keep the blade sharp. We leave a note after every visit with anything specific to that round.

Yes, once the application has dried or the granules have settled, usually the same day. We flag the lawn and leave a note with any wait time, and we're happy to work around nap time or the dog's walk.

Granular products need water to get going, so rain after fertilizer or pre-emergent is actually good news. Liquid weed treatments need a couple of hours to dry. If a storm washes one out, we'll come back and do it again.

Pre-emergent stops new weeds, not the ones that are already up. Post-emergent takes a week or two to work, and tough ones like nutsedge can take two passes. If a weed's still standing after that, tell us and we'll hit it again.

We don't run a fully organic program. What we do is use slow-release, targeted products at label rates, skip the blanket spraying, and build the soil up so the lawn needs less over time. Ask and we'll talk through what fits your yard.

Through the customer portal. You can see upcoming visits, invoices and your balance, pay online, and turn on auto-pay if you'd rather not think about it. The link's at the top and bottom of every page.

Yes. You'll get a heads-up before each visit and a note afterward with what went down and what to expect.

We call it the fix-it promise. If something isn't right between visits, just tell us. We'll come back out and make it right, no run-around.
