Your outdoor spaces need ongoing maintenance to stay healthy. When our team at Lawn Doctor of Mid-Michigan shows up to treat your lawn, you might hear a handful of lawn care-specific terms that you don’t know. Having a basic understanding of some essential lawn care terminology goes a long way towards understanding your outdoor spaces. Below, we’ll walk you through a few must-know lawn care terms and what they mean in the big picture of our residential lawn care in the Midland, MI area.<\/p>\n
Lawn care comes with its own\u00a0robust vocabulary. Here’s some must-know terminology:<\/p>\n
Micronutrients<\/strong><\/p>\n There’s a long list of nutrients that your lawn depends on to stay healthy and produce strong grass growth through the seasons. However, the required amounts\u00a0vary. The term nutrients required in small amounts are referred to as “micronutrients,” and include chromium, iodine, cobalt, zinc, and a handful of others.<\/p>\n Macronutrients<\/strong><\/p>\n Micronutrients are only needed in small amounts. However, that’s not the same for all of the nutrients your lawn needs to thrive. Some nutrients, called “macronutrients,” are needed in large concentrations on a consistent basis. Phosphorous, potassium, and nitrogen are the main macronutrients, which is why fertilizers generally have labels referring to the amounts of these three nutrients contained in them.<\/p>\n Herbicide<\/strong><\/p>\n Invasive plants and weeds can take a heavy toll on your lawn’s overall health. Fighting these plants takes a certain type of product. “Herbicides” are products used to fight weeds and other invasive plants. And while there are many of them out there, our team utilizes top-of-the-line herbicides to bring you results you can trust.<\/p>\n Fungicide<\/strong><\/p>\n Just as herbicides fight invasive plants, products called “fungicides” are used to fight fungi. Different types of fungi can cause lawn diseases in your yard, including brown patch, red thread, and many others. Regular lawn maintenance can prevent these issues, but fungicides are used to address them when they’ve already developed.<\/p>\n Working with our team at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Mid-Michigan means getting lawn care designed to accommodate your unique needs.
