At Lawn Doctor of High Point, we’re known across the area for our expert residential lawn care. When we’re treating your lawn, you can always count on us for deep knowledge, honest answers, and clear-cut, easy-to-see results.

However, during our work, we might use some terms you’re not familiar with. To ensure you fully understand common lawn issues and ways we overcome them, here’s a look at a few of those terms.

  • Micronutrients. These are minor nutrients, such as selenium, manganese, and zinc, that plants need in small, trace amounts to grow.
  • Macronutrients. These are the major nutrients required in much larger doses for plants to grow, including nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium.
  • Thatch. Thatch is the loose layer of living and dead organic matter on the surface of the soil. When it gets too thick, it blocks out essentials and can harbor diseases and insects.
  • Soil Compaction. Soil compaction occurs when the particles in the soil become heavily pressed together, restricting airflow. It also prevents water and nutrients from reaching roots.
  • Core Aeration. Core aeration is a process by which we remove thousands of small, evenly spaced soil plugs across your lawn, breaking up thatch and compaction.
  • pH Adjustment. The soil’s pH level impacts the nutrients that are available for roots to absorb. Our team can perform a soil test to check your soil’s pH, then balance it if needed.
  • Power Seeding. With this technique, we first cut into the soil without damaging existing grass and then plant seed. This ensures excellent seed-to-soil contact.
  • Integrated Pest Management. Also known as IPM, this eco-friendly practice is part of our natural residential lawn care services, available in the High Point area. It combines a range of measures and common sense treatments to control pests organically.
  • Pre-emergent Weed Control. With this service, we can treat weed seedlings still in the soil before they germinate and spread. Our product inhibits their growth, so they don’t mature and populate your lawn.
