a well known lawn company as applied 2 treatments of autumn and winter

the tips.


Is it just the moss turning black, or the grass too? Moss killer (ferrous
sulphate) will kill moss this way, and too much will do the same to grass, but
it has always come back for me.


I guess that depends on what chemicals they applied
and how much. Amazing how folks want answers without any info as to
the type of grass, whether it's the UK or
Florida, etc. Why did they put two treatments in
4 days? If my lawn was looking OK and had no specific
problems, I'd be looking for a new company. One reason
why I do this stuff myself.
