However, during our initial evaluation of your yard, we might use some terms you&#8217;re not familiar with. To help ensure you understand our services and what to expect, here are a few things to know about.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Compaction. <\/strong>This occurs when the soil your grass grows in becomes compressed over time due to high foot traffic, heavy rains, parking cars on your lawn,\u00a0clay soil conditions, and other reasons. It, in turn, compresses the roots, restricting airflow\u00a0as well\u00a0as nutrient\u00a0and moisture absorption.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Core Aeration.<\/strong> When compaction is an issue in your lawn, we often recommend core aeration. There are many ways to aerate your lawn, but at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Cape Cod, we use core aeration, which is proven to\u00a0be more effective and longer-lasting than other alternatives. It works by pulling\u00a0out thousands of small plugs of soil in your lawn, so air and other essentials can get into the roots.<\/li>\n<li><strong>pH.<\/strong> Soil\u00a0pH is the measure of acidity and alkalinity and\u00a0has a big impact on grass. Too high or low pH means that\u00a0nutrients aren&#8217;t available for uptake. To ensure your soil is balanced, we will perform a soil test to\u00a0check the pH level and amend it as necessary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pre-Emergent Weed Control. <\/strong>This is a\u00a0type of herbicide we use that treats developing weeds\u00a0below the surface of the soil before they emerge. It inhibits their growth, preventing\u00a0them from fully germinating, so they don&#8217;t sprout into full-grown plants and spread.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Power Seeding.<\/strong> This is an approach to seeding we use that relies on state-of-the-art equipment to churn the top layer of\u00a0the soil while simultaneously planting the seed, all\u00a0without damaging your grass. It leads to\u00a0excellent seed-to-soil contact and a 90% germination rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Learn More About Residential Lawn Care On Cape Cod<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t signed on with our team for residential lawn care but would like to,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Cape Cod is a phone call away.
