We recommend that you keep off the lawn until any liquid part of the treatment has dried (approx. 2 hours). This stops it being walked off. And this is especially true of our NutraGreen Autumn Long Treatment, we recommend that you keep off the lawn for more than 2 hours then as it could stain a carpet or wooden floor, if it were walked into the home.
Grazing pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs should be kept off the lawn for a minimum of two weeks or three cuts, whichever occurs latest, to avoid ingestion of Ragwort, in particular, which becomes poisonous to them as it dies back.

The purpose of Lawn Treatments is to improve lawn density, healthy turf and reduce weeds. Lawns are great for the environment. Grass is highly efficient in turning carbon dioxide into oxygen. A healthy 230 sq.m lawn produces enough oxygen for a family of 4. Healthy lawns are great feeding grounds for birds.
Lawns offset 50% solar heat through cooling evaporation. It’s like natural air conditioning on a hot day. When it comes to applying weedkillers. We only apply when weeds are visible. We avoid the ‘blanket approach’ adopted by others.
Healthy lawns are fantastic to the environment. At times to get a healthy lawn we have to address lawn problems. We only apply a weedkiller where there is a weed. Our Lawn Makeover is an outstanding example of our dedication to sustainability and the use of organic and recycled products. Have a look at it.
