Plant Growth Regulators

Mow less, enjoy more

Plant Growth Regulators (PGR) slow vertical grass growth while encouraging horizontal shoot and root development. The result? You mow less frequently while your lawn becomes thicker, deeper-rooted, and more drought-resistant. It's a win-win for both lawn health and your free time.

PGR Benefits

Reduced Mowing

Cut mowing frequency by 40-50% during peak growing season.

Thicker Turf

Grass puts energy into lateral growth, creating denser, more attractive lawn.

Deeper Roots

Root development increases, improving drought and heat stress tolerance.

Color Enhancement

Darker green color from increased chlorophyll content.

How a PGR works

Spring Application

Applied when grass actively grows and temperatures consistently reach 60-65°F.

3 treatments

3 treatments through growing season for consistent growth regulation.

Gradual Effect

Grass growth slows over 10-14 days; effect lasts 4-6 weeks per application.

Safe & Proven

Used on golf courses for decades; completely safe when professionally applied.
