Do I have to sign a contract?
No. Masterpiece Turf has no contracts. You choose Healthy Lawn Essential or Healthy Lawn Elite and can stop the service at any time. If you don't see results, you get your money back.
What is the Masterpiece Guarantee?
Don't see results? We'll refund 100% of your money, no questions asked. There are no contracts, so you can stop the service at any time. We are confident in our process and our technicians, so you have nothing to lose by trying us.
Can I switch to Masterpiece Turf from another lawn company?
Yes. There is no contract to sign with us. Call us, we look at your lawn and soil, and we build a plan from where your lawn is today, including any weeds or thin spots left behind.
Treatments
Why does Masterpiece Turf do a soil test?
Most lawn companies use the same standard plan for every yard. Not us. Before we treat anything, we find out exactly what your lawn needs, and that starts with a soil test. Think of it like going to the doctor: you wouldn't want medicine without a blood test first. We treat your yard only for what it actually needs, nothing extra and nothing missing. Every customer starts with a soil test.
What does Masterpiece Turf do each month?
We follow a 12-month lawn care calendar. Warm-season lawns (Bermuda, zoysia, centipede) get pre-emergent and winter weed control from January to March, pre and post emergent and fertilizer in spring, summer fertilizer and targeted weed control from June to August, fall pre-emergent in September, a liquid winterizer fertilizer in October, winter pre-emergent in November and limestone in December. Cool-season fescue lawns get early spring fertilizer, nutsedge control in June, overseeding fertilizer in September, overseeding (recommended) in October and post-overseeding winter fertilizer in November. Fire ant control and fungicide are included only in Healthy Lawn Elite and applied as needed. Schedules and applications are subject to change depending on season and weather.
Why is there no fertilizer on the first visit?
Every customer starts with a soil test. The first visit focuses on knocking out the weeds you already have, because fertilizing a weedy lawn feeds the weeds too. Once the weeds are under control, we feed the grass based on what your soil test shows.
What are unlimited service calls?
If something looks wrong between visits, call us. We come back whenever you need us, at no extra cost. Unlimited service calls are included in both Healthy Lawn Essential and Healthy Lawn Elite.
How soon will I see results?
Most homeowners notice existing weeds dying back within weeks of the first visit. Thicker, greener grass builds over the season as the soil is corrected, pre-emergent stops new weeds and the grass is fed on schedule.
What if it rains after my treatment?
Rain after a visit is common in Georgia, and light rain usually helps granular fertilizer soak in. If heavy rain hits right after a visit and you are worried about results, call us and we'll look at it.
Is lawn treatment safe for kids and pets?
We use products labeled for home lawns and apply them by the label. Keep kids and pets off the treated grass until it dries. If you have pets, tell us when you call so we can plan your visits around them.
Do you offer aeration and overseeding?
Yes, as two separate add-on services. Core Aeration opens up the soil so water, air and nutrients reach the roots. Overseeding: fescue is overseeded in the fall and Bermuda in early spring. Fire ant control and fungicide are not add-ons; they are included only in Healthy Lawn Elite, our 12-visit program.
What grass types do you treat?
We treat the warm-season grasses common in metro Atlanta, Bermuda, zoysia and centipede, as well as tall fescue in shady yards. Each grass is fed and protected on its own schedule.
