After watering the spore into the soil, you can do anything you wish to your lawn. Please inform your lawn care company of the important step to water in the spore before they cut your lawn. Otherwise the lawn mower blades might accidentally pick up the spore and carry it off your lawn thereby wasting it and necessitating retreatment.
