When a lawn is not regularly maintained, it can deteriorate.
However, with proper maintenance: regular cutting; fertilizer;
calcification and watering when necessary, the lawn will thrive for
many years. Without this maintenance it gradually gets infested
with perennial broadleaf weeds and weed grasses which take over
from the seeded species, making it look untidy.
Also, when creating a new lawn the area to be transformed might
have some perennial weeds that will not disappear with simple soil
cultivation. Before creating a new lawn or refreshing an existing
one, the weeds need to be treated and Roundup products are ideal
for this.
When to start lawn renewal?
The best period is September - early October. That way, during
autumn and spring, the new grass can grow without being hindered by
garden activities.
How to renew the lawn with a Roundup
product?
Let the old lawn, or weedy area grow so that there is adequate
leaf surface available (lawn 5 - 10 cm high depending on species).
Spray on a dry day, at a high dose level, so that even the
difficult weeds are controlled.
After 1 to 2 weeks the weeds will turn yellow. Prior to sowing
the new seed the ground will benefit from being cultivated and
fertilized. The grass type can selected depending on the usage:
sports- or ornamental lawn, sun or shadow grass. When there is a
thick bed of dying vegetation, it is better to take it away for
composting. Keep the soil moist (no logging) during germination of
the new grass. By mid spring the lawn will be dense and fit for all
garden activities.

When can my children/pets use an area where Roundup has been
applied?
The moment Roundup has dried. It deactivates on contact with
soil, and is degraded by micro organisms leaving no residues in the
soil.
Why has Roundup killed my lawn?
Roundup should never be used on lawns. Because it kills all
plants with green leaf tissue, Roundup is actually a very effective
grass killer.
When can I replant/reseed after treatment?
Immediately, if you want to. We recommend, however, leaving the
weeds at least 7 to 10 days to absorb the optimum amount of
Roundup.
