When you want a better-looking lawn, the easy way, Lawn Doctor of Alexandria is here for you with a wide range of residential lawn care services. We’re the team you can count on for green, lush results, as well as straightforward services and honest answers in the process.
To ensure your experience is as simple as possible for you, below are a few terms we might use as we’re treating your lawn that you’re not familiar with. Here’s what to know about them and the advantages they will give your grass.
- Soil pH. The acidity and the alkalinity in your soil, also known as the pH, is key. If it’s too base or too acidic, it will impact the nutrients available to your grass plants. If we suspect this is a problem, we’ll deal with this by first testing your soil, then adding in amendments if necessary.
- Slow-release Fertilizer. As we fertilize your lawn, we use a slow-release product that feeds it slowly and steadily over a period of time. This reduces the risk of burns from fertilizer, supports consistent, healthier growth, and also cuts down on fertilizer leaching into the groundwater.
- Soil Compaction. This occurs when soil particles get packed together tightly from heavy rain, foot traffic, construction, parking vehicles on your lawn, and other factors. It harms your lawn because it presses on grass roots, hindering the flow of air, nutrients, and water.
- Core Aeration. To deal with soil compaction, Lawn Doctor of Alexandria uses a unique approach to residential lawn care: core aeration. This means we will cut out thousands of small, evenly spaced soil plugs from your lawn. This, in turn, reduces the compaction greatly, improving the air circulation in the soil and allowing more essentials to reach the root zone.
- Grubs. These are tiny, white larvae of beetles that can take a big bite out of your lawn’s health. They feed on roots, eventually killing off parts of your lawn. Our team can quickly check your soil for them and then treat an infestation effectively.
