DIY lawn care can sound like fun at the start. You’re spending time outside, in the fresh air, surrounded by your property! In reality, a great-looking lawn can look easy from a distance but is difficult to achieve. It’s why so many homeowners and property managers in Charleston turn to our team for answers.
With DIY, it’s easy to start off by thinking you’ll save money. But DIY can often mean spending countless hours, only achieving minimal results—or worse, expensive damage to your turf. Let’s take a look at how that could happen.
Understanding The Costly Mistakes of DIY Lawn Care
The most minor mistakes can have an outsized impact on your turf. That’s because your lawn is a delicate ecosystem that requires the right approach every time. Here are a few places you may go astray with DIY:
- Handling fertilization. It’s easy to think that any fertilizer will do for your lawn. After all, it just needs nutrients, right? In reality, the wrong fertilizer can cause grass death and other problems. Too much nitrogen in the soil, for example, can leak into your groundwater, causing long-lasting damage to your property. That’s why we always assess your property prior to creating a custom fertilizer blend.
- Dealing with weeds. If you’re frustrated by weeds around your property, you may be tempted to grab the closest weed killer at the hardware store. Not so fast! Different types of weeds require different strategies for effective treatment. Our experts will always start weed control treatment by discussing the types of weeds you’re dealing with so you’re always getting the impact you want.
- Timing treatments. If you’ve spent money on new turf, grass plants, or fertilizer, it’s always frustrating when they don’t yield results. That may be due to timing. All lawn care should be timed with specific details in mind, like your grass species’ growing season. To maximize every treatment we implement in Charleston, we always make sure services are timed right.
