Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Gnome will deliver all the nutrients that your lawn needs for healthy green growth. If you’re concerned about your soil health, order a soil test and let us develop a custom care plan for you, just like a professional service would. We are still amassing our army of lawn-mowing gnomes, but in the meantime you can still use your local lawn mowing service to cut the grass.

Yes, our Soil IQ™ database covers every climate, grass species, and soil found in the continental US. Once you order your subscription, our gnomes get to work purchasing and compiling even more soil data (organic matter, cation exchange, calcium content, pH, composition, water capacity, and content), climate data (rainfall, average temperatures), and satellite imagery to paint a complete picture of your lawn’s ecosystem. We understand that every lawn is different, and that's why we create a personalized plan that caters specifically to the demands of your lawn and garden, including automatically pausing your subscription during the dormant grass season, ensuring your lawn receives only the exact amount of fertilizer it requires and saving you money.

Alas, we love every lawn and every blade of grass, but right now, we are only available in the continental United States. We hope you still love your lawn and we want to hear from you if you wish Gnome was available in your location. Contact us and let us know where you’re from and you just might inspire us to build a new gnome base outside the US.

We have developed the perfect 1-2 punch for pre and post emergent weed control. Our organic pre-emergent Lawn Guard prevents weed seeds from germinating and our iron-based post-emergent Weed Wizard kills existing weeds on contact with an easy-to-use wand sprayer. They are complementary products, so we recommend using Lawn Guard in early spring and late summer before new weeds emerge and Weed Wizard to kill any emergent weeds on the spot. Lawn Guard gets increasingly effective each application, so you'll see fewer and fewer weeds in the growing seasons after you apply it. Perks of growing organic.

We've developed an all-in-one solution to kill and repel mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, ants and mites without services or toxic chemicals: Mosquito Defense. Mosquito Defense is a natural, non-toxic formula with powerful, lab-tested control over your yard's most dangerous pests. It prevents egg laying, kills pests on contact, and repels them for 4+ weeks all while leaving your lawn smelling great with a mix of cedar wood and lemongrass oils.

Yes! We have an all-organic line of liquid fertilizers. They are ideal for grass and outdoor garden use. We even have an Organic Lawn Fertilizer Plan for best results growing organic.

We’re glad you asked. Yes. *Cue gnome group musical number*

We make grass green, make it grow

Dirt can’t eat, grass sleeps in snow

Drink up well, soil rich like treasure

Safe for kids, your play’s our pleasure

Ahem, we hope you enjoyed that.

First off, please do not drink the fertilizer. Any fertilizer can be dangerous if a human being or a pet consumes it (fun fact: we gnomes are uniquely evolved to digest fertilizer).

But the real concern is whether the fertilizer makes your lawn less safe for play. Traditional, dry, pellet-based fertilizer will remain on your lawn for up to 72 hours, posing a risk to pets and children. With Gnome, you can get back to playing in the grass 4-24 hours after applying the fertilizer (as soon as your lawn dries). Lawns drink, they don’t eat. Liquid fertilizer is just better.

We appreciate your love for your extra large lawn. Our packages are designed for lawns up to 15,000 square feet due to shipping constraints. If you need to cover more than 15,000 square feet of grass, you can always order multiple subscriptions or contact us to help develop a custom care plan.

We are not one of those annoying companies that makes you call in to cancel. We will miss you terribly, but you can log in any time to manage, pause, or cancel your subscription.

Great question! Unlike our competitors, our concentrated liquid products contain natural ingredients like urea, iron, kelp, and soybeans without sacrificing the necessary nitrogen your lawn needs to thrive. Our Green Glow is 30% nitrogen, the highest of any liquid lawn food on the retail market. Our nitrogen is also an ideal 50/50 slow release to balance immediate foliar nutrient uptake with lasting grass root and shoot growth. Our sprayers connect directly to your hose, so you can ditch the spreader and toxic pellets and easily fertilize in just 10 minutes. Most importantly, we’re fanatical about supporting our customers! Our custom plans are tailored to your specific micro-climate and soil composition leveraging leading turfgrass and soil science, and our plans are all backed by the money-back Love Your Lawn guarantee.

Ewwww, glyphosates! Gnomes are highly sensitive to all things toxic and carcinogenic. That's why none of our fertilizer formulas contain glyphosates, and they never will. All of our formulas are sourced from premium, natural ingredients like urea, soy, and kelp, so they're safe for you and your loved ones.
