What if it rains after you spray?

Worried About Rain after we spray?  We use a wetting agent that will encapsulate the chemicals so they won't wash away.    This allows chemical retention for long lasting results and reduced wasteful evaporation and harmful runoff.  Pearce Power Spraying uses the latest chemical technology to provide you with a green lawn while maintaining a healthy environment.

I have a lot of bugs in my yard, is there something you can do?

Florida is a buggy state!  There are lots of creepy pests and we can help you to combat them on your lawn, shrubs and plants.  We offer plant, shrub and tree insect spraying and fertilization.  We can spray for these pesky critters two to four times per year depending on your needs.

Is there a way to combat weeds before they grow?

Yes, the use of a pre-emergent herbicide will help to prevent weeds from growing.  Pre-emergents are primarily used to control annual grasses such as crabgrass, goosegrass and annual bluegrass as well as some annual broadleaf weeds like chickweed and henbit.  Which pre-emergent to use is dependant on the type of weed present.  The experts at Pearce Power Spraying can identify the vegetation that does not belong and which application will eradicate them most effectively.

Pre-emergent herbicides are just one of the many tools Pearce Power Spraying uses to keep your lawn healthy and weed free.

How often should I be watering my lawn?

Lawns need at least 1" of water per week to remain green and healthy.  Too little water during dry periods can cause permanent turf loss which may require seeding.  Insect, weed and disease problems also increase in dry lawns.

I heard that the way you mow your lawn can make a difference.

Mowing makes a BIG difference in the looks of your lawn.  Keeping blades sharp, changing mowing direction, mowing often enough and at the right height will all help keep the turf green, thick, and weed free.

What can I do to have a healthy green lawn?

In addition to our annual service plan of proper fertilization and weed control, there are several things that you can do to help ensure a healthy lawn:

  • Make sure you are watering your lawn properly.  Too much or too little can be damaging.  Lawns need at least 1" of water per week to remain green and healthy.  The amount of water your lawn needs will need to be increased during the dry season.
     
  • Using the right tools to mow your lawn is essential.  A tan color lawn is caused by a dull mower blade shredding the grass tips.  Make sure you sharpen your blades several times a year.
     
  • The right height setting for your mower is also critical.  Mowing your lawn too short can damage your lawn.
     
  • Mowing your lawn more often is something that is often overlooked.  Your lawn can be damaged by removing too much grass at once.
     
  • Alternating your mowing pattern can also make a difference in the health of your lawn.
