In order to keep an up to date list of products available (as sometimes product availability changes on Amazon or other online retailers) I created this page specifically so it can be edited easily at any time and remain up to date for all of you.
There is a section here that corresponds with every section of The Ultimate Cool Season Lawn Care guide so as you read the guide, the products you may be interested in using will be listed here for you to see.
Also remember, you can receive an extra 5% off ANY Simple Lawn Solutions product on Amazon with code ryanknorr
Visual Aid
I hope that this doesn’t create any confusion (read the guide step by step to understand my recommendations and explanations) but some have asked for a visual aid to “see” the guide in a visual form. I created this to correspond to the guide but again, timing of everything is explained in more detail inside of the guide. “X” indicates a time when application is ideal and “optional” are times when you can apply if you would like to but it’s not a requirement.
