Plant Growth Regulators are used by golf courses and sports turf managers to keep grass healthier, neater, and easier to maintain. This treatment gently slows the upward growth of your warm-season turf while encouraging deeper roots and a thicker, more uniform canopy. The result is a cleaner, greener lawn that stays in ideal condition between mowing cycles.
Your lawn grows slower and stays neat between cuts.
Growth energy shifts into chlorophyll production, deepening green tones.
Turf invests in roots and lateral spread instead of height.
Ideal for Bermuda and Zoysia during high-growth periods.
Your lawn maintains a clean, manicured look for longer.
Stronger roots and more stable growth help your lawn handle heat and drought.
Plant Growth Regulators slow the upward growth of turfgrass by reducing cell elongation. This allows the plant to redirect energy into root development, lateral spread, and improved color production. The result is a denser, more uniform lawn that maintains a cleaner appearance between mowings.
Most lawns show slower vertical growth within several days. You’ll notice deeper color, improved density, and fewer scalped areas after mowing. The lawn will also hold a “freshly cut” appearance longer, even during peak growth periods.
A typical application lasts several weeks, depending on weather, mowing habits, and turf vigor. The longevity of the product’s effect is closely tied to GDD (Growing Degree Days), meaning warmer periods will shorten the duration while cooler periods extend it. As the product wears off, growth returns gradually, and your technician will recommend the best timing for follow-up treatments.
Yes — most lawns experience a 20–40% reduction in mowing frequency. Growth slows significantly, allowing the lawn to stay neat longer. You’ll still mow regularly, but overall maintenance becomes much easier.
PGRs work best on well-maintained warm-season lawns with proper nutrition, irrigation, and weed control. This makes Premium7 properties excellent candidates for regulation. Lawns that are thin, stressed, or newly repaired may need to recover before starting this service.
Yes — Plant Growth Regulators are widely used on golf courses, sports fields, and public green spaces. Once the application has dried, normal use of the lawn can resume safely. Your technician will share any property-specific guidance.
Typically $140 per application — Small and gated lawns fall within our minimum billing area. Access limitations often require walking-route delivery for consistent application.
Typically $140–$175 per application — Many lawns in this range still require walking-route application. Pricing reflects walking-route delivery for consistent application.
Typically $175–$240 per application — Most lawns in this range allow ride-on access, improving efficiency and coverage consistency. Pricing reflects additional area combined with equipment-assisted delivery
Typically $240–$400 per application — Larger residential lawns benefit from more efficient layout, but growth regulation still requires careful walking-route application. Pricing reflects extended coverage and product volume.
Typically around $400 per application — Represents the entry point for full-acre residential properties receiving specialty PGR treatments. Pricing assumes open layout and continuous ride-on delivery.
