FAQs
Naturally, you will have some questions about Greensleeves lawn care services before proceeding. Following are the most 'Frequently Asked Questions' by our clients. If you have any other queries, do not hesitate to contact us on FREEPHONE 0808 100 1413.
Q. Is there a contract to sign?
No. We do not ask you to sign a contract, all we ask is that when you settle one bill you inform us if you wish to cancel the next visit.
Q. Do I need to water my lawn after your visit?
No. We use a granular feed with a polymer coating to release its nutrients slowly into your lawn, thereby eliminating the need to water. It will not scorch your lawn.
Q. Why do you recommend 4 visits a year?
Most proprietary branded fertiliser products suggest reapplication after five or six weeks, whereas our feed lasts 2-3 months. Therefore when we visit regularly we ensure vital nutrients are being continually released into the lawn throughout the year. It is also important to remember that our treatments vary throughout the year, we do moss control in the spring and autumn and weed control in the two intermediate visits.
Q. When will I see my weeds start to die?
Following our weed treatment, the weeds in a Greensleeves lawn should start to curl and die after 2-3 days, although it may take up to 10 days to react. Unusually warm dry weather, heavy rain within 12 hours of treatment, or mowing immediately after treatment can reduce control. Many widely available weed killers are mild in nature to meet current legislation. The application of the herbicides used by Greensleeves staff requires training and certification to NPTC standards and will control most common lawn weeds.
Q. Will your service affect when I can cut my lawn?
Greensleeves ask you not to cut your lawn for 3 days prior to and after any of our weed treatments as this can reduce the efficiency of the products that we use and your weeds may not die back as well as you might expect. Otherwise, you are free to cut your lawn as normal.
Q. Is it safe for children and pets?
Our granular fertilisers are not considered hazardous products. While no herbicide material may be legally classified as completely 'safe', our weed control can be termed 'practically non-toxic'. These products are all certified for use on lawns, used by our NPTC qualified staff in strict compliance with labelled instructions. They do not represent any significant threat to your family or pets.
Q. Do you have any kind of guarantee for your service?
Yes. Greensleeves Garden Care has every confidence in its service. You should be fully satisfied with every treatment. If not please let us know immediately.
Q. How much will it cost me?
As you might expect, our charges are based on the size of the lawns we care for. Our charges start from as little as £15 per visit.
