With our lawn care services, offered in Sturgeon Bay, Door County, and other nearby areas in WI, we can get to the bottom of what’s going wrong in your lawn and provide treatments that deliver fast, beautiful results.
However, as we’re working, we might use terms you’re not familiar with. To ensure you understand what we’re doing in your lawn and the benefits it delivers, here are a few to keep in mind.
- pH. This is the measurement of the acidity and alkalinity in your lawn’s soil. We can perform a soil test to check the level and ensure it’s balanced.
- Acidic. This describes when the soil pH is too low, preventing grass from properly growing.
- Alkaline. This refers to a high pH in the soil, which also harms grass since it hinders the availability of nutrients.
- Cool-season Grass. These are grasses that generally grow in northern U.S. states and experience peak growth during the cooler months of spring and fall.
- Grassy Weeds. These are weeds in your lawn, like crabgrass and nutgrass, that are hard to spot because they look and act like turfgrass.
- Broadleaf weeds. On the other hand, these weeds, like dandelion, stand apart from grass and are easy to see thanks to their broad leaves and prominent middle vein.
- Compaction. This refers to a condition in the soil when particles are packed too tightly together, inhibiting air flow, as well as absorption of nutrients and water.
- Thatch. This is a loose layer of both dead and living matter that covers the surface of the soil. If it’s too heavy, it creates a haven for insects and diseases and stops fertilizer and moisture from reaching roots.
- Aeration. Our team uses a technique called core aeration to reduce soil compaction by removing thousands of small soil plugs from your lawn.
- Integrated Pest Management. IPM is a part of our natural lawn care, during which we rely on organic products and eco-friendly measures to control pests in local yards.
