Residential lawn care from Lawn Doctor of Edwardsville-Collinsville means greener grass and more time in your day. We’re the team you can count on for straightforward recommendations, honest answers, and clear-cut results. However, there might be some terms we use during our service treatments you’re not familiar with. To ensure you know what we’re doing and why, here’s a look at a few of them.
- Power Seeding. This is an approach to seeding where we use our patented equipment to scratch the soil and plant seed, leading to better seed-to-soil contact.
- Integrated Pest Management. IPM is a part of Lawn Doctor of Edwardsville-Collinsville’s residential lawn care services. It combines a range of products and techniques to prevent pests in your lawn.
- pH Balancing. The pH of your soil is key since it impacts the ability of roots to take in nutrients. We’ll test your soil to check the pH level and then balance it if necessary.
- Pre-emergent Weed Control. We use a specific herbicide treatment that inhibits the growth of weed seedlings in the soil, preventing them from germinating and spreading, so you don’t ever see them.
- Soil Compaction. Soil particles can get packed together from high foot traffic and heavy rainfall. As this happens, it presses on roots, preventing air, water, and nutrients from reaching them.
- Core Aeration. We use core aeration to break up soil compaction by punching out thousands of small plugs of soil from across your lawn, in an even, systematic way. This opens up pathways for essentials to reach roots.
- Macronutrients. Your lawn needs a large amount of certain chemical elements, called macronutrients, to grow properly. These include nitrogen and potassium. We can apply them, so your lawn has the fuel for green, thick growth.
