That's almost two full work-weeks — every year — on a chore nobody wants to do. Current solutions don't cut it.
Products like Primo Maxx use Trinexapac-ethyl, a chemical that can affect surrounding plants and requires safety wait times for children and pets.
Robotic mowers cost $1,000–$5,000+, require installation, and still don't eliminate mowing — they just automate it.
Families with children, pets, and gardens need a product that won't harm non-target plants or leave chemical residue.
Advanced biotechnology has transformed agriculture — but no one has brought a safe, targeted consumer turf growth regulator to market.
LawnPause uses advanced biotechnology to slow the process that makes grass grow tall — without harming the plant or anything around it.
Grass grows tall because of a single growth hormone. LawnPause is designed to temporarily quiet that signal in turf species — Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and others common across the US.
Species-SpecificThe active ingredient is delivered via an advanced delivery system engineered to penetrate the leaf surface. It's modified with UV-stabilizers and a rain-fast adjuvant so it holds up through sunlight and rain.
UV-Stabilized Rain-FastDilute one 4 ml vial into a standard backpack sprayer. Apply to your lawn. Within 5–7 days, growth slows by ~70%. Reapply every 3 weeks during peak growing season. The grass stays green and healthy — it just stops stretching upward.
21-Day WindowThe active ingredient is inherently biodegradable. Unlike chemical PGRs, LawnPause leaves zero toxic residue and is undetectable within 48 hours. Safe for children, pets, pollinators, and surrounding garden plants.
Non-Toxic Biodegradable Pet & Child SafeNo biotech consumer lawn growth regulator exists. LawnPause is positioned to define the category with a defensible technology moat.
Total addressable market for residential lawn care products and services in the United States.
At $8 COGS and $50 retail per vial — before volume-driven cost reductions at scale.
No RNA-based consumer lawn growth regulator exists on the market today. We are first.
Our targeted formula is designed for a 21-day efficacy window — so homeowners apply less and spend less.
No current product combines safety, specificity, and effectiveness. LawnPause is the first to do all three.
