A thick, healthy lawn is simple to achieve with residential lawn care from Lawn Doctor of Everett-North Bothell. Yet, when we’re providing care for your lawn, there are some terms we use that you’re not familiar with. To ensure you know what to expect and why, here are a few to know.
- Thatch. This layer of dead and organic matter lies on the soil’s surface. If it gets too thick, it will prevent fertilizer and moisture from reaching roots, while creating a haven for insects and disease.
- Soil Compaction. When the particles of the soil get pressed together tightly, it leads to compaction. This, in turn, inhibits roots from taking in enough oxygen, water, and nutrients.
- Core Aeration. This is our process for breaking up soil compaction. We use sophisticated equipment to cut out small, evenly spaced soil plugs from all over your lawn, reducing heavy thatch and compaction.
- Power Seeding. This residential lawn care treatment goes beyond traditional seeding typically available in the Everett area and uses equipment to first slice into the soil, then plant seed. This increases seed-to-soil contact and germination rates dramatically.
- Macronutrients. These are the nutrients that are key in large amounts to healthy plant growth, including nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous.
- Micronutrients. These chemical elements are vital for healthy grass, as well as trees and shrubs in your landscape, but in smaller amounts. They include zinc, manganese, iron, and copper.
- Pre-emergent Weed Control. With this herbicide treatment, we focus on weeds you can’t see, still in seed form in the soil. The product we use inhibits growth and stops maturation so they don’t emerge.
- pH Balancing. The pH level of the soil is key because it impacts whether nutrients are available for plants to take in. With our team, we’ll test your soil and balance it if it’s too acidic or alkaline.
- Grubs. These tiny, white beetle larvae feast on grass roots, eventually killing off portions of your lawn. Our technicians will check for them and then treat your lawn quickly and effectively with a proven pesticide.
