We are proud to deliver guaranteed service to maximize the growth, health and beauty of your grass. To get started, let’s go over some common myths about effective lawn care.
Debunking Common Lawn Care Myths
Myth #1: Save time by trimming your grass as short as possible. If you cut your lawn too short, you will end up with a disease-ridden patch of grass. Ideally, you should mow your lawn once per week and only trim about one third of each grass blade.
Myth #2: Water your lawn every day. Your lawn does not require daily watering. In fact, this can be incredibly harmful for your grass. The right approach is to water your lawn only twice per week, always just before sunrise.
Myth #3: You can solve weed issues by pulling them by hand. This tactic might work, but it is very inefficient. Also, there is no guarantee that the weeds you pull won’t just grow back. Our expert weed control is a much more effective option.
Myth #4: You can produce healthy and full grass with just two fertilization treatments per year. The fertilization process is complicated and tedious, so it would be great if this were true. Unfortunately, your lawn needs a consistent infusion of nitrogen and other macronutrients, which means about six to eight fertilization treatments per year.
Myth #5: Thatch is harmful to your lawn. When researching lawn care issues, you may learn about how thatch can provide a home for pests and disease. While this is true, it only becomes a problem when your thatch layer is more than a half inch thick. In fact, a thin layer of thatch is a vital part of a healthy lawn ecosystem.
