Growth Regulators
The Best Kept Secret In Lawn Care
Want To Mow Less And Have A Thicker Lawn?
You can with Growth Regulators!
Growth Regulators work by suppressing the vertical growth of warm-season grass like Bermuda. When the vertical growth is stunted, lateral growth is stimulated, creating a thick, dense, and more weed-resistant turf. Our Program consists of 5 treatments spaced approximately 30 days apart. Even if you start later in the growing season, you will still see the benefits.
How Do Growth Regulators Work?
Growth Regulators do not interfere with plant respiration, photosynthesis or other internal functions. They stimulate the lateral growth of rhizomes and stolons resulting in a thicker, denser turf. The plant roots are also stimulated to grow. As the roots go deeper, your lawn will require less water and will stay greener later into the year.
Growth Regulators are not weed control herbicides and do not kill weeds; however, they may have the same "slowing growth" effect on certain weeds as they do on grasses. The weed control benefit of Growth Regulators is the thick turf they create can help prevent summer weeds that are not preventable with pre-emergent herbicides.
