LawnSavers uses the best products on the market that can provide visible results for our clients and are the safest option on the market.  As of 2010, LawnSavers has 3 (three) options to reduce weeds in your lawn, including a new & exciting liquid option called Fiesta!  In laboratory & greenhouse testing, our NEW liquid option shows great promise as a more effective weed management tool.  It is not reliant on you watering it in for 3 days and not as temperature dependant and restrictive as Sarritor.  Health Canada has granted registration as of April 14th 2010.  The Ontario Ministry of Environment has been reviewing the criteria for sale to professionals in Ontario and is expected to be allowed for use as of  early May. We will be introducing and including it in our programs at no extra charge.

Sarritor Natural Weed Control was another part of our solution in the past to manage weed problems in your lawn.  It was the most effective weed management tool available on the market in 2009 and works best on dandelion, thistle, ragweed and plantain provided temperature restrictions and watering instructions were followed. It is a tool to help REDUCE the number of dandelion weeds on your lawn, but not eradicate them. 

TWO (2) Applications of Weed control are included in each of our programs every year.  Weed Control is applied to weeds only on a spot application basis. Over time, we will help give you a healthier, thicker fuller lawn that reduces the overall number of weeds in your lawn.   A comprehensive multi-pronged approach including Professional Fertilization, aeration, certified overseeding and insect management will give you the most visible results.
