How it works
Hydra-Guard is applied in early summer and again in the heat. It combines a wetting agent that helps the soil absorb and hold water with high-potash nutrition that hardens the grass against stress. The result: your lawn stays green in July and August while neighbors’ brown out, and it can cut supplemental watering by up to half.
Most of the fungus we see in summer comes from daily 15-minute watering. Hydra-Guard lets you water deeply and less often, which fixes that too. Included in Enhanced Protection and Restore-Maintain-Protect, or available on its own.
Same strip, same angle. This is Hydra-Guard.

What your neighbors say
“I have been using Lawn Doctor for a few years and I am always satisfied with the service as well as the pricing. Most recently I had 1/3 of an acre aerated, seeded and fertilized for a very fair price. The technician did a great job and was very careful not to disturb flower beds while doing a very neat job. Would definitely recommend the service.”
Michael T.Pearl River, NY · Sept 2025“I’ve been using Lawn Doctor of Rockland-Pascack Valley-Saddle River for several years, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I originally switched to them after having a disappointing experience with another lawn care company.”
Valeria M.5-star Google review · 2026“James did a great job, thank you for putting grass seeds on some of the bare spots. Timing was perfect, it rained for a couple of days after 1st application. Thank you”
