At LAWNZ, we understand that safety matters — especially when it comes to products used around your home, your family, and your pets. Whether you're applying fertilisers, herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides, it's important to use them responsibly and with confidence.
- Always follow the label, including dosage, mixing, and application timing.
- Use protective gear when recommended (e.g. gloves, mask).
- Avoid applying in windy or wet conditions.
- Don’t spray if children or pets are on the lawn — wait until it’s safe to return.
Liquid Fertilisers
- Safe once the lawn has dried completely.
- Fast-absorbing through the leaf surface.
- Wait until fully dry before walking or playing on the lawn.
- Avoid wet paws or shoes tracking residue inside.

- Keep pets off the lawn for several hours post-application.
- Switch to liquids if your pet eats things off the ground.
