We know there’s a lot of information out there about lawn care and that not all of it is true. That’s why it’s so important to have experts who understand the ins and outs of your specific property. Below, we’ll examine some of the more common — and damaging — lawn myths.
3 Myths About Proper Residential Lawn Care
As a homeowner, you have a hundred priorities vying for your attention. It’s not surprising if lawn care falls by the wayside. Finding the right information about your lawn can be pretty tough when you’re doing it on your own. To make it more complicated, you may encounter any number of misconceptions, including the ones below:
- Any approach will work. If you’ve dealt with one lawn in the past, it’s easy to think that the same approach will work on any other turf, too. In reality, grass care varies enormously based on the type of grass, a lawn’s age, soil properties, and many other important details. We take that into account with residential lawn care services, which is why we’ll always begin with a detailed evaluation of your space.
- Salt is a great way to deal with weeds. You’ve likely heard many different recommendations for dealing with weeds on your own. These methods can be ineffective or, worse, cause significant damage to your lawn. Using salt to address weeds is an example: while it may work for weeds, it can kill off grass plants and contaminate soil in the process. Instead, you can always count on our weed control methods for results.
- You can handle aeration with the right shoes. Aerator shoes — spiked shoes designed to loosen the soil — aren’t uncommon in our area. Unfortunately, they simply don’t deliver the results needed for healthy grass. These shoes will aerate the soil minimally, and may even cause soil to become further compressed. With professional aeration, you can get the coverage needed to loosen soil effectively.
