Even if the lawn care professional applies all of your fertilizers and pesticides properly, you may still have the occasional weed, pest, or bare spot. Herbicides and pesticides are not 100% effective at controlling every weed or grub that may be present in your lawn. If you are not pleased with the appearance of your lawn after the lawn service has had sufficient time to correct some of the problems, you should contact them directly. Most lawn care professionals will be happy to explain exactly what is going on in your lawn and what you should expect.
