At Lawn Doctor of West Knoxville, we can help. As leading lawn care specialists serving customers all over\u00a0Knoxville, TN, we know there are a few important steps to take in your lawn today that will lead to healthy, robust growth\u00a0in the weeks and months ahead. For instance, make sure you:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rake up your lawn. <\/strong>Wait for your lawn to dry out a little before walking on it. Once it is dry, get to work raking up any debris, like fallen leaves, twigs, and branches\u00a0that can leave your grass moist and vulnerable to infection. Raking your lawn also separates grass blades, promoting upright growth and better air circulation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get your soil tested.<\/strong> It&#8217;s tough to know what nutrients and amendments your lawn needs without testing it. So if it&#8217;s been a while since your last soil test, invest in a product or lawn care service that tells you the pH level and nutrient content. This way, the steps you take going forward in your lawn will be\u00a0based on accurate information for\u00a0better results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check for heavy thatch and compaction.<\/strong> These two culprits can hinder nutrients, water, air and sunlight from getting to your grass and roots. That&#8217;s why dealing with them is so important. If you see a heavy layer of thatch, then you can use a dethatching rake to deal with it. However, if soil compaction is also a problem, opt for aeration, which will cut down on both thatch and compaction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deal with nutrient deficiencies and weeds. <\/strong>At\u00a0Lawn Doctor of West Knoxville, we know when\u00a0it comes to proper lawn care, the right blend of key essentials is vital to ensure healthy growth and color. You can deliver it with a light application of fertilizer, combined with a pre-emergent product. This will nourish your lawn as well as stop weed seeds from germinating, growing, and spreading.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get More Lawn Care\u00a0Help from Lawn Doctor of West Knoxville<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the treatments\u00a0above, there may be other services your lawn could benefit from this spring, from power seeding and grub control to natural lawn care.
