FAQs
Should I try the service even though I think my lawn is beyond saving?
Definitely. Homeowners are constantly amazed to see what they thought was a lawn beyond saving transformed into a beautiful lawn.
When is the best time to start the service?
There is never a bad time to start creating a beautiful lawn. You can adopt the service at any time.
When will I notice the difference?
Within a couple of weeks the lawn will look considerably improved.
Is it safe for my children or pets?
Yes it is. We do ask that you keep off the lawn until the weedkiller has dried (usually less than 1 hour). This is to prevent you walking the weedkiller off the weeds. Think about this…by using our service you will no longer have half full bottles of concentrated lawn weedkiller in your garden shed.
Does it really cost less than doing it myself?
Treatment costs can vary depending on the size of the lawn, starting from as little as £13 per application for a typical 100 sq. metre lawn including all materials, labour and VAT etc.
What if I already have a Gardener?
Hundreds of GreenThumb customers already have a gardener and we are not a gardening company, nor will we carry out any of the other work your gardener does. If required, we would be happy to discuss the work we intend to carry out with your gardener.
Are the feeds GreenThumb applies better than the proprietary brands I can get from a Garden Centre or wholesaler?
The best proprietary lawn feeds last between 3 - 6 weeks, depending on your soil type. GreenThumb's professional feeds last around 10 weeks.
The actual amount of lawn food GreenThumb feeds your lawn is usually more than double that of proprietary brands, and is applied safely and professionally.
Do I have to be in when GreenThumb calls?
The majority of our customers are not at home when we call to treat the lawn. Since all our vehicles and operatives are self sufficient we can carry out the treatment as long as we have access to the lawns. If you want to be in when we call at your home to treat the lawn, we will do our best to accommodate your request.
Will you be able to give advice on lawn mowers and mowing?
A beautiful lawn involves more than applying a feed and weed every couple of months. Mowing practices, advice on watering and numerous other factors contribute to a beautiful lawn. We would be delighted to give you as much information as you would like.
What are the benefits of using GreenThumb instead of anyone else?
Please view our Why Choose GreenThumb.
Do I have to water the lawn following the treatment?
No you don’t. However, like any other plant, the lawn does like and need water. It will show its gratitude if you water it by turning green. During a dry spell, give the lawn a drink one evening.
Is GreenThumb licensed to treat lawns?
Our lawn operatives are National Proficiency Training Council (NPTC) licensed to apply lawn weed killers.
Will the treatments address moss?
Our treatments and “lawn beneficials” are specifically geared to addressing moss problems on lawns.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. We want our customers to continue with the GreenThumb service based on our merits in creating a healthier greener lawn for them, not on a contract.
