Question 1

How many applications do I need per year?

Accepted Answer

Our annual program includes 8 professionally timed applications built around North Texas seasons.

Question 2

What happens during each visit?

Accepted Answer

We apply the treatment that fits the season, then check the lawn for weed pressure, color, density, soil conditions and pest activity.

Question 3

Do I need a contract?

Accepted Answer

No. Porter's does not require contracts.

Question 4

Can I cancel at any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is nothing to cancel out of — just let us know and we'll stop service.

Question 5

When will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Color often responds within a couple of weeks. Thicker turf and lasting weed control build across multiple applications.

Question 6

What weeds do you treat?

Accepted Answer

Common North Texas lawn weeds including crabgrass, broadleaf weeds like dandelion and clover, and seasonal weeds that show up in spring and fall.

Question 7

What should I do after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Stay off the lawn until it dries, then follow the watering note we leave for that specific application.

Question 8

How often should I water?

Accepted Answer

Deep, less frequent watering generally builds better roots than short daily cycles. We'll give guidance based on your grass type and the season.

Question 9

When can children and pets return to the lawn?

Accepted Answer

Once the application has completely dried.

Question 10

Are treatments professionally applied?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Applications are made by Porter's using labeled products and professional equipment.

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Porter's holds a commercial applicator license through the Texas Department of Agriculture and carries a $1.5 million insurance policy.

Question 12

How do I know if I have lawn pests?

Accepted Answer

Sudden brown patches, turf that pulls up easily, or damage that keeps spreading despite proper watering are common signs. We inspect before recommending treatment.

Question 13

What pests are common in North Texas?

Accepted Answer

Grubs, chinch bugs and armyworms are the most common turf-damaging insects in this area.

Question 14

What is liquid aeration?

A soil-applied treatment that helps improve compacted soil conditions so water, oxygen and nutrients can move deeper into the root zone.

Question 15

How often should it be performed?

Accepted Answer

Most lawns benefit from aeration once a year, with heavier soils sometimes benefiting from more.
