Herbicides

Sometimes our lawns can get away from us. Maybe you inherited the issues when you moved. Maybe life got in the way for a year or two. Regardless, once weeds get in and become an infestation, they can be a nightmare to combat. Sometimes we need some scientific help. Golden Acre stocks a full range of herbicides, with some eco-friendly options, to help you get your lawn under control. Be sure to select the right one. If treating your lawn DO NOT USE ROUND-UP.

Pro-tip- What are often considered weeds are beneficial. Dandelions in the lawn are a beneficial plant for pollinators. Clover is an excellent source of nitrogen.

Applicators

Please, please, do not fertilize by hand. Throughout my career as a horticulturist, I must have said that a thousand times. Although your lawn is hardy and strong and incorrect fertilizer application can cause issues. Including uneven growth, burn and root development issues. In order to help combat this Golden Acre has a full line of applicators and spreaders. Designed to take guesswork out of the equation and give you a beautiful, healthy lawn.

Watering

Like any other plant, your lawn is going to need water. And as most lawns are grown in sunny spots it’s going to need regular water. Golden acre has a massive variety of sprinklers, nozzles and hoses all season long so your lawn can remain lush and green. It is important to note that new sod requires a lot of water the
first two (2) weeks to allow the roots to establish.

Pro-tip – Watering is best done early, not in full sun. 4:30–5:00 am is the best time to water. #goodmorning.
