Like many other industries, lawn care has its own unique terminology that’s used to describe risk factors, services, solutions, precautions, and more. To better understand your lawn, it’s essential to be familiar with at least some of this terminology. We’ll take a look at some must-know terms below, what these terms mean, and how they fit into residential lawn care in the Kingston, NY area.<\/p>\n
There are several essential terms our team at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Kingston, Poughkeepsie & Hudson uses\u00a0to diagnose\u00a0and treat your yard. Let’s take a quick look at some of this language to get you up to speed:<\/p>\n
1. Aeration<\/strong><\/p>\n Compression builds under the surface of local lawns over time, due to the weather, machine use, foot traffic, and several other reasons. To keep your lawn healthy, it’s important to break apart this compacted soil. This gives your roots space to grow while also helping nutrients and water more effectively reach your root systems. Breaking apart this compacted soil is called “aeration,” and it can be done either with machinery or with handheld tools.<\/p>\n 2. Anaerobic<\/strong><\/p>\n Oxygen is essential for your lawn’s overall development. However, several issues can make it difficult for oxygen to reach your lawn’s root systems, leading to health problems. Lawns that aren’t getting enough oxygen are referred to as “anaerobic,” meaning “without oxygen.”<\/p>\n 3. Pre-Emergent<\/strong><\/p>\n Our team addresses a wide range of grassy weeds when we apply our comprehensive Crabgrass control treatments. For instance, our “pre-emergent” treatments address grassy weeds that are still underground and haven’t yet emerged on the surface of your lawn.<\/p>\n 4. Post-Emergent<\/strong><\/p>\n Our weed control treatments also eliminate weeds that have already popped up in your lawn, or “post-emergent” weeds. These weeds can spread quickly, which is why effectively managing them is so important.<\/p>\n Working with us means getting comprehensive residential lawn care solutions designed around your specific needs.
