Like any other industry, lawn care comes with its own unique terminology. These terms are used to describe anything from what our team is looking for in our initial evaluation to why we’re applying certain treatments, which is why it’s important to be at least somewhat familiar with a few of them. Below, we’ll highlight some essential residential lawn care terms that we feel are important for Collegeville, PA homeowners to understand.
Four Essential Lawn Care Terms
Whether you hear them from your neighbors or our technicians, there are several lawn care terms to learn. Here’s a closer look at some of the most essential of these terms:
Scalping. Because our team doesn’t offer lawn mowing services, we’ll likely advise you on how you can get the most out of your mowing efforts. Scalping refers to mowing your grass too short, which can make your lawn more susceptible to a long list of issues, including sun damage, weed infestations, and more.
Pre/post-emergent. To keep your yard looking its best in the long run, our team utilizes comprehensive weed control solutions. As a part of this service, we address different kinds of weeds. Pre-emergent and post-emergent are terms that refer to whether or not the weeds we’re targeting with a certain treatment have broken through the surface of your lawn.
Aeration. Compacted soil is one of the most common issues in local lawns. This is an issue because compacted soil blocks the healthy circulation of water and nutrients to your root systems. Aeration is the act of breaking up this compacted soil, whether through the use of machinery or handheld implements.
Anaerobic. Oxygen is one of the most important resources when it comes to keeping your lawn green and growing over time. If your lawn is low on oxygen, you may hear us refer to it as anaerobic, which simply means it is lacking oxygen.
