Frequently asked questions
Garden Preventative Maintenance Gauteng questions
How often should preventative treatments be applied?
Frequency depends on the product, plant, season and problem. The written programme should specify timing rather than relying on a fixed one-size schedule.
Can every weed be treated with the same herbicide?
No. Lawn type, weed species and product label matter. Incorrect herbicide can damage desirable plants or grass.
Do you treat pests without identifying them?
A responsible treatment should be based on likely identification, damage pattern and safe label use.
Is fertiliser enough to fix poor growth?
Not always. Compaction, shade, drainage, irrigation, soil pH and root damage may be contributing factors.
Are treatments safe for pets and children?
Product-specific precautions and re-entry periods must be followed. Tell us about pets, children, ponds and edible gardens before treatment.
