With expert residential lawn care for local homes, Lawn Doctor of Dubuque can provide everything your grass needs to grow healthy and remain beautiful. Our friendly service is fast, reliable, affordable, and comes with the security of our satisfaction guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>To simplify the process and help you stay informed about your lawn, we&#8217;d like to start by going over a few key terms relating to our services.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Essential Lawn Care Terms<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Soil Test. <\/strong>We can analyze your soil to determine the exact chemical makeup. This helps us\u00a0figure out which nutrients are lacking and how to fix your lawn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fertilizer. <\/strong>A treatment designed to provide adequate nutrition and boost your lawn&#8217;s growth and health. Most fertilizers contain a mixture of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. The precise volume of each nutrient should depend on the results of your soil test.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Core Aeration. <\/strong>Our process for negating the impact of compacted soil and restoring healthy air flow to your lawn. We remove thousands of small plugs of soil to help nutrients, water, and air properly circulate and reach your root system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weed. <\/strong>An invasive plant that grows unwanted on your lawn. Weeds take nutrients away from your grass and create an ugly sight, so expert weed control is an important part of protecting your lawn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pre-Emergent. <\/strong>This term describes solutions that are applied to combat\u00a0problems (i.e. weeds or pests) before they appear on your lawn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Post-Emergent. <\/strong>A treatment that is applied to correct certain problems that have already appeared.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Residential Lawn Care in Dubuque\u00a0Backed By Our Guarantee<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At Lawn Doctor of Dubuque, our goal is to solve complicated lawn care issues and make your life a lot easier.
