That\u2019s according to a top <a href=\"\/boston-ma\/lawn-care-local\/\">Boston lawn care service<\/a>, Lawn Doctor. Many common lawn problems often have a simple remedy \u2013 and most often, that remedy is proper nutrition, combined with aeration and weed control.<\/p>\n<p>When\u2019s the best time to fertilize a lawn in the Boston area? Well, this is kind of a trick question, because the best time to fertilize a lawn is really all of the time. Your lawn needs a steady supply of minerals and nutrients to keep the grass vibrant and green. However, in real life, we\u2019re not all focused on our lawns every moment of the day. The easiest way to handle keeping the lawn adequately fertilized is to have your Boston lawn care service come in a couple of times a year \u2013 most often, early spring, mid-summer, and then again in the fall \u2013 to apply a fertilizer mix that\u2019s individually prepared to meet your lawn\u2019s specific needs.<\/p>\n<p>Compacted soil is a very common reason why your grass isn\u2019t growing the way it should. Soil can become compacted when there\u2019s a lot of traffic on your lawn \u2013 think kids playing or pets running around. When your soil is compacted, rain water can\u2019t penetrate to your grass\u2019 root system, which is where it really needs to go in order for the grass to grow. Aeration is the answer to compacted soil. Typically, a Boston lawn service will aerate the lawn once or twice a year for best results.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, weeds grow everywhere -but they don\u2019t need to grow in your lawn. Professional lawn care services in the Boston area offer what\u2019s known as pre-emergent weed control. This means eliminating the weeds before they even start to grow, which obviously is the best way to never see them. If you\u2019re troubled with crab grass or other broad leafed weeds, talk to your Boston lawn care service about weed control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bare and patchy lawn may be embarrassing, but you don\u2019t have to just live with it.
