If puddles linger on your lawn or certain spots stay wet long after the rain has passed, it’s a sign your lawn isn’t draining properly. Down flow improves how water moves through the soil, helping your lawn dry faster and feel firmer underfoot.

We usually recommend applying down flow every 4–6 weeks in wetter months. If your lawn regularly pools with water or takes days to dry after rain, starting with more frequent treatments can speed up results and get your lawn draining properly again.

Absolutely, down flow is absorbed into the grass and soil, making it safe to use around children and pets.

Down flow improves how your lawn absorbs water, helping excess rain drain away instead of pooling on the surface. This means fewer puddles, less mud and a lawn that dries faster and feels firmer, so it’s ready to enjoy, even in the wetter months.
