Target Spraying

Yes, you are paying for a weed and feed. Our Lawn Operative will apply fertiliser to the whole of the lawn, whilst assessing the level and location of any weeds.

They will then target them even though this often takes longer than blanket spraying.

The herbicides that we use are ‘post-emergence selective herbicides’. But, what does that mean?

Essentially, our herbicides only work on existing weeds. In other words, if there are no weeds or weed leaves, then the herbicide is simply going into the ground and, therefore, is of no benefit and not appropriate environmentally.

The herbicide generally works over a three-week period. If, during that time, you notice an increase in weeds then please contact your local branch to ask them to make another assessment.

The products that we use and how we use them is controlled by recognised agencies that enforce environmental related Government guidelines. As a responsible and compliant company, we are always looking to improve our processes and effectiveness when it comes to treating our customers’ lawns. One way that we can do this is by controlling the way by which we apply herbicides. Target spraying instead of blanket spraying every lawn demonstrates that we take our responsibilities seriously.
