Lawn care has a specific vocabulary, and understanding some of the most common terms will help you more effectively communicate with our team to understand why we take the steps that we do. Below, we’ll take a look at some key lawn care language, what it means, and where it might pop up during our residential lawn care services in the Needham,\u00a0MA area.<\/p>\n
There’s a long list of lawn care terms that can be helpful to know throughout the residential lawn care process. Let’s take a closer look at a few of the many lawn care terms out there:<\/p>\n
Pre\/Post-Emergent.<\/strong>\u00a0Our team takes a multifaceted approach to weed control, which means taking steps to fight weeds before and after they sprout up throughout your lawn’s surface. During this process, you may hear our technicians reference pre-emergent\u00a0or post-emergent\u00a0treatments. This set of terms simply tells you if treatments are targeting weeds still under your lawn’s surface (pre-emergent) or weeds that have already broken through your soil (post-emergent).<\/p>\n Thatch.<\/strong>\u00a0There’s a layer of organic material that exists between your soil and your grass, called thatch,\u00a0that can cause issues when not properly treated. Too much thatch can block sunlight and water from nourishing your lawn, leading to developmental issues and an increased risk of suffering from lawn diseases.<\/p>\n Scalping.<\/strong>\u00a0Mowing your lawn has greater repercussions for your lawn’s health as a whole. Mowing your grass too short, commonly referred to as scalping,\u00a0can take a heavy toll on your lawn by making it more susceptible to sun damage, weed infestations, and a long list of other problems.<\/p>\n pH.<\/strong>\u00a0Your lawn’s acidity matters more to its overall health than you may think, which is why you may hear our technicians talk about it. Acidity is measured on the pH (potential hydrogen) scale,\u00a0and it tells you just how acidic or alkaline a substance (like your soil) is.<\/p>\n Anaerobic.<\/strong>\u00a0Oxygen is an essential resource for local lawns. Anaerobic\u00a0is a term used to describe lawns that aren’t getting enough oxygen, which can be due to compacted soil or one of a long list of other issues.<\/p>\n We offer comprehensive residential lawn care to homeowners located in these communities:<\/p>\nProven Lawn Care In Your Area<\/strong><\/h2>\n
