 |

Does a chemical exist that one could spray on grass to
slow down its growth.... yet not kill it?
And can a consumer buy it? |

What you're looking for is called a growth regulator. And yes, they
exist and are used to slow the growth of a variety of plants,
including turfgrass.

I think you'll find that this stuff is sold in package quantities
suitable to golf courses and similar. Meaning it's going to come in a
minimum size big enough to do acres, with a price tag to match and
distributed through channels that serve those industries. |

The chemical used is normally Maleic Hydrazide. It can sometimes turn
finer grasses (Bents and fescues) brown, but this dose disappear after
a while.
You can stunt the growth for up to 6 weeks at a time. (Do a test patch
on your lawn first.
