Just like many other industries, lawn care has its own unique terminology. These terms can be used to describe anything from the issues we’re looking for in our initial evaluation to the methods we use to address them. Having some familiarity with the terminology attached to lawn maintenance is helpful not only when it comes to communicating with our technicians, but also when certain issues pop up that need to be addressed. Below, we’ll shine the spotlight on a few key residential lawn care terms that Hot Springs, AR homeowners should know.
Essential Lawn Care Terminology
There’s a long list of lawn care specific terms that can pop up throughout the treatment process. Here are a few of them:
Micronutrients. To stay healthy from season to season, your lawn needs nutrients. However, not all nutrients are needed in the same amounts. Nutrients that are only needed in small amounts are called micronutrients, and include nutrients like iodine, cobalt, and chromium. Although these nutrients are only needed in small amounts, they’re still integral to your lawn’s overall health.
Macronutrients. While micronutrients are only needed in small amounts, other nutrients, called macronutrients, are needed in bulk. Macronutrients include phosphorous, nitrogen, and potassium. Imbalances of these nutrients can take a heavy toll on your lawn, which is why effective fertilization is an essential part of your lawn’s ongoing development.
Herbicide. Along with nourishing your lawn, our job is also to address the threats that put its health at risk. Herbicides are products that fight weeds and other invasive plants. We utilize top-of-the-line herbicides to fight a wide range of invasive plants, keeping your lawn healthier from season to season.
Fungicide. Like herbicides are used to fight invasive plants, products called fungicides are used to fight fungus. Fungicides are generally used to fight lawn diseases like brown patch, Take-all disease and a handful of others.
