There&#8217;s a lot of unreliable information out there about lawn care, which can make getting a green, lush yard more difficult. To help,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Fort Walton Beach-Destin-Niceville offers the truth, so you avoid\u00a0common residential lawn care\u00a0myths.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Myth #1: Any fertilizer will work. <\/strong>Your lawn is unique and has different nutritional needs from the yard across the street or even the one right next door. The wrong product won&#8217;t boost color and growth and, worse, it can damage the grass.\u00a0It&#8217;s why hiring a professional lawn\u00a0company\u00a0to provide fertilization is always a good idea.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Myth #2: Beer is a good fertilizer. <\/strong>This is yet another fertilizer-related claim that is not true.\u00a0The simple sugars in\u00a0beer won&#8217;t boost lawn color or growth and can even create conditions where fungus spreads. Skip the beer and stick to real fertilizer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Myth #3: You can efficiently aerate with spiked shoes. <\/strong>To aerate your lawn, at least 5% of the soil needs to be treated\u00a0to reduce soil compaction. This is not something that can be accomplished with a shoe. Instead, hire a professional that uses proper equipment and time-tested techniques, like core aeration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Myth #4: All thatch is bad for your lawn. <\/strong>Thatch is the layer of dead organic matter, like grass clippings, sitting on top of the soil. It&#8217;s true that if the layer gets thick, it prevents fertilizer and water from reaching the roots. However, a little bit of thatch is actually good for your lawn, as it breaks down and returns nutrients to the soil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Ready for Residential\u00a0Lawn Care from\u00a0Destin&#8217;s Experts?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ready to bring in the pros?
