FAQ: How much will one gallon of Endurant cover?
Typically one gallon of Endurant, particularly one of the ultra concentrates, will cover 5,000 to 7,000 square feet of dormant grass. The ultra concentrates in the Endurant line include Endurant Fairway, Endurant Premium and Endurant Perennial Rye. As the labels for these colorants suggest, one gallon can cover up to 10,000 square feet. This is the case when grass still has some chlorophyll, is kept at a short height and is applied optimally. Optimal application includes using recommended mix rates, applying with efficient equipment and using the best nozzles (when applicable).

When applying Endurant on completely dormant turf, there may not be a need for much reapplication, if any. Many people ask how many times to paint grass during dormancy. For year round green grass, spraying three times, including once during early dormancy, again at full dormancy and just before dormancy ends in the spring transition leads to fantastic results.
Endurant turf colorant will generally last about 6-8 weeks. When applied to dormant turf it lasts longer than when applied to actively growing turf because colorant is mowed off.

Endurant Turf Colorants, including the pigments and the paints, do not adversely affect the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of the plant absorbing sunlight, water and carbon dioxide, creating energy and oxygen.
One of the more technical questions asked of Geoponics is which nozzles to use for applying Endurant Turf Colorants. This question is relevant when using very large sprayers common in golf, agriculture and turf.
One brand we recommend is GreenLeaf. And the models that provide the best even coverage of the entire leaf blade, front and back, are the Asymmetric DualFan Nozzles, including D04, D05, D06, D08, D10.
"This is by far our most popular nozzle for the golf course market," says Will Smart, owner of GreenLeaf.
Endurant Turf Colorants and Landscape Colorants are safe for pets, and others, to walk on once Endurant colorants are dry. This usually takes about an hour, but may be longer if humid or in low temperatures, less than 50 degrees F.
Why Paint Grass If You're Just Going to Mow It Off?
Most people do not paint grass if they're going to mow it off. In fact, most people add color to grass because it is brown, dormant, drought-stricken and/ or not growing. Or, it may be growing some, but is semi-dormant. Therefore, most people are not mowing the lawn after painting grass.
