Ongoing maintenance is key for a healthy lawn that produces consistent grass growth. When our technicians show up to administer this essential maintenance, however, you may hear a few terms that you’re not entirely familiar with. Having some familiarity with these terms goes a long way toward helping you understand your lawn and what our services do. Below, we’ll highlight some essential residential lawn care terms that we feel are important for Carroll County, MD homeowners to know.
Essential Lawn Care Terms
Lawn care has a robust vocabulary that’s important to be familiar with. Here’s a closer look at some of these essential terms and when they might come up:
1. Treatment
We offer a wide range of services designed to bring you a lawn you can be proud of. Individual applications of these services are referred to as “treatments.” We utilize ongoing fertilization, weed control, and other treatments to protect your lawn from seasonal threats while supporting continuous grass growth.
2. Dormant
“Dormant” is a term that refers to plants and other organisms that aren’t dead but also aren’t active. For instance, some grasses turn brown and go dormant in the winter to conserve resources. However, weeds can also go dormant, which is why they seem to pop up and spread like wildfire in the spring.
3. Brown Patch
Several lawn diseases can develop in your yard, whether due to nutrient deficiencies, moisture levels outside the healthy range, or a long list of other reasons. “Brown patch” is one of these diseases, and it looks exactly how it sounds. It’s caused by a fungus and treated with a fungicide, but the best way to keep brown patch at bay is effective, regular lawn maintenance.
4. pH
How acidic or alkaline your soil is plays a big part in its overall development. This attribute is measured on the “pH” scale, which refers to “potential hydrogen,” or how acidity is measured.
