3 Terms To Know For Residential Lawn Care
When you choose our residential lawn care services, our technicians can always help you understand what’s involved. That said, sometimes it helps to know the terms and lingo related to your grass health. Here are three common terms you may encounter:
- Turfgrass. Grass can refer to all kinds of plants—including bamboo and barley! Even certain types of weeds, like crabgrass, are technically part of the grass family. Turfgrass is a term used to distinguish the grass types that are used for lawns. In Georgetown, these grass varieties are typically warm-weather grasses—plants that are hardy, durable, and resistant to heat or drought. When in doubt, you can always ask our technicians about your grass.
- Compacted soil. For healthy, lush grass, your soil should have certain nutrients and be slightly acidic without being too acid-based. You also want it to be relatively loose. Soil can become firmly packed and even hardened over time due to weather conditions, drainage, and other factors. We can treat compacted soil by aerating it—just one way we can improve your lawn’s soil.
- Perennial weeds. Weeds come in different sizes, shapes, and species. Some produce flowers, while others will mimic the appearance of your lawn. Weeds also germinate on different schedules. Some will start appearing in cooler seasons, while others will show up in hot weather. Perennials are weeds that return every year, again and again. We can identify the weeds you’re dealing with, then determine a weed control strategy that works for each plant.
