While doing your own yard work may be tempting, there are a few important facts you should know. Most importantly, DIY is not likely to reduce your long-term costs. That’s because you’ll still need to pay for lawn products, and if you make mistakes, those expenses can really add up. With our professional lawn care, Lawn Doctor of Door County-Manitowoc-Bellevue can take these duties off your hands and deliver superior results for a lower overall expense.
To help you avoid some of the more harmful pitfalls of DIY, let’s start by discussing a few common mistakes.
Common DIY Lawn Care Mistakes
Lawn care can be difficult work, so if you proceed independently, be ready to deal with an extensive trial-and-error period. Here are some common DIY mistakes that can cause problems in your yard:
- Over-fertilizing. Adding too much fertilizer or applying the wrong product will do more harm than good. This is a common issue, as mastering the fertilization process takes skills, knowledge and years of experience. To get the most out of your lawn, our experts conduct soil testing to diagnose nutrient deficiencies before developing a unique plan to deliver the proper nutrients.
- Ignoring pest issues. Pests like mosquitoes and ticks can be a major nuisance around your yard. Since these pests are not easily deterred, many homeowners give up and allow them to continue living in their yards. This is a mistake, as these creatures can reproduce rapidly and quickly overwhelm your yard. To fight back, we offer professional mosquito and tick control that is proven to destroy these pests and their offspring.
- Pulling weeds by hand. Weed growth can turn a great lawn into an unsightly lawn. Many homeowners believe they can solve the problem by pulling these plants from the ground. It would be nice if this were true, but in reality, those weeds are likely to just grow right back. Thankfully, our expert service includes pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide treatments to truly stop those invasive plants.
