\"aEver wonder what pH balancing means? Or what grubs really are? Lawn Doctor of Columbus-Phenix City has the answers you need to all your lawn care-related questions. Below are some common terms we often get asked about by customers across the Columbus, GA area about lawn care<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Broadleaf weeds: <\/strong>A\u00a0weedy plant\u00a0characterized by broad leaves and a netlike pattern of veins. Examples include dandelion, clover, purslane, and\u00a0chickweed. They pose\u00a0lawn care problems in the\u00a0Columbus area due to the fact that they compete with turfgrass for nutrients.<\/p>\n

Grassy weeds: <\/strong>Weeds with longer and narrower leaves and parallel-running veins.\u00a0Examples include crabgrass,\u00a0goosegrass, barnyardgrass,\u00a0dallisgrass and nutsedge. These too, like broadleaf weeds, can interfere with the health of your lawn by crowding out grass and taking up resources. Generally, grassy weeds are more difficult to control than broadleaf weeds.<\/p>\n

Integrated pest management (IPM):<\/strong>\u00a0An approach to pest control that focuses on combining\u00a0eco-based techniques and materials, including biological controls and\u00a0cultural practices, as well as planting\u00a0resistant varieties\u00a0and incorporating control products.<\/p>\n

Micronutrients: <\/strong>A substance\u00a0that is required in small amounts for the optimal health and growth of plants and other living organisms. Examples include potassium, zinc, copper, and manganese.<\/p>\n

pH level: <\/strong>A level that indicates how acidic or alkaline soil is. A healthy pH for lawns is between 6.0 and 7.0. If the level is below 6.0, soil is too acidic to support optimal growth.\u00a0If it’s above 7.0, it’s too alkaline.<\/p>\n

Pre-emergent weed control:\u00a0<\/strong>Weed control treatments\u00a0target seeds underground, before they\u00a0germinate and grow. This is an effective preventative method for controlling weeds.<\/p>\n
