Plant Growth Regulators
Mow less, enjoy more — plant growth regulator treatments in Lancaster, Harrisburg, and the surrounding counties
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
