Happy Roots serves many residents in Broomfield. We have a lot of weekly lawn mowing customers, many fertilizer program customers and hundreds of homeowners in Broomfield that hire us to do aeration, sprinkler blowouts, start ups, repairs, yard clean-ups and other lawn care needs. 1/3 of our business comes from Broomfield. It is a very upscale community and that’s why many of them turn to us to care for their properties. We provide Broomfield customers with the results that they are looking for at fair prices. We are located in Thornton, but will happily drive to Broomfield to serve the needs of their residents.
Is your weed killer/chemicals/fertilizer safe for pets and Kids?
We get this question a lot.
Our fertilizer is applied seperately from our weed killer, except for the pre-emergent applications. We put down a granular fertilizer and spray liquid for post emergent weed killer. Our fertilizer is pesticide free and perfectly safe after our application. When we apply the pre-emergent, we recommend watering it in before playing or going barefoot into the grass.
Our weed control products are as safe as any chemical weed control products offered. Our pesticide products all have a caution label, which is the lowest risk label put on chemicals. We use caution when applying them, and we ask the homeowners to do the same, by waiting until the products we apply are dry before walking into or entering the treated area of the grass/rocks/mulch etc. After our spray dry’s, your yard is safe to enter. I put these same products on my yard, and I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 kids. These chemicals are only unsafe if mishandled or misused, just like any chemical you may have in your garage, kitchen, laundry room etc.

EZ Wet is a wetting agen like “Revive”. The difference is that EZ Wet does not have the organic fertilizer that Revive has, but EZ Wet does have a higher percentage of the active ingredient which is the wetting agent. EZ Wet changes the properties of your water, it makes it wetter and run deeper into the soil. This is what we offer as a granular aeration. Although a granular aeration should never take the place of a core aeration. If you had to choose betwen an EZ Wet application or a core aertion, I would always recommend the core aertion in the spring and fall, then a couple of EZ Wet applictions in the summer.
We offer EZ Wet as a seperate application or with our fertilizer applications and have had great results when we apply EZ wet with every fertilizer application. EZ Wet helps fertilizers become more effective by getting the fertilizer deeper into the soil and root zone where the grass needs it, which drives the roots down deeper and helps the lawn get through the hot summer days better.
EZ wet will help you get the most out of the water you put down by making it run deeper into the soil with less run-off. If you have a slope the run-off will be reduced. Puddling and ponding due to compacted soils will also be reduced.
