Slow grow can be applied when grass is growing strongly between May and September. It’s the perfect treatment if you are going away during these summer months and don’t want to be greeted with an overgrown lawn on your return.

If you’re planning a holiday but the thought of returning to a jungle of overgrown grass fills you with dread – this treatment is ideal for you.

Totally, there is no risk to children or pets.

Slow grow will reduce the grass growth rate meaning you will not need to mow as often.

Your lawn care expert will spray your lawn with the slow grow treatment. After 4 days the grass growth will reduce and your lawn will green up.
