Every industry has its own specific terms used to explain certain parts of its processes, and lawn care is no exception. Being familiar with the terminology used in lawn care can help you communicate more easily with our technicians when we show up to apply our treatments. It can also help you better understand what goes into keeping your lawn looking its best. Below, we’ll highlight some of this essential terminology and how it fits into our residential lawn care in the Atlantic County, NJ area.
Essential Lawn Care Terms
There’s a lot of vocabulary involved in diagnosing and treating local lawns. Here’s a quick look at a few must-know terms and what they mean:
1. Aeration
Over time, compression can build up in your soil and make it difficult for critical resources to reach your roots. Breaking this compacted soil apart before it causes issues is essential, and this process is referred to as “aeration.” Aeration can be done by hand, but it goes faster and produces longer-lasting results with our heavy-duty core aeration equipment.
2. Anaerobic
Oxygen is a vital resource for your lawn. However, due to compression in the soil or another issue, oxygen can have a tough time making its way to your root systems. We refer to lawns that are low in oxygen as “anaerobic,” which you may hear during our initial lawn evaluation or aeration treatments.
3. Pre-Emergent
Fighting weeds is a big part of our service, and we address several different types of weeds with our treatments. “Pre-emergent” weeds are among these. This term refers to weeds under the surface of your lawn that haven’t yet emerged through the grass.
4. Post-Emergent
Our weed control services also address weeds that have already popped up on your lawn. Fighting these weeds quickly and effectively is essential in preventing them from spreading and taking over your entire yard.
