Lawn care can seem simple until you start dealing with specific issues and the corresponding causes and treatments. Having a basic knowledge of common lawn care terms can not only simplify the search for applicable services offered by our team at Lawn Doctor of Lake Worth-Wellington-Jupiter, it can help you better understand your lawn for ongoing care. Some of the most common terms refer to specific lawn services we offer to our neighbors in the Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington and North Palm Beach, FL areas, while others refer to your lawn’s characteristics and environmental factors affecting it.
A Brief Explanation of Essential Lawn Care Terms
Knowing the essential lawn care terms can go a long way towards helping you keep your lawn in great shape. Here are some key terms to remember and a brief explanation of each one:
Fertilization – Fertilization refers to the supplementing of your lawn’s soil with nutrients, which is done by applying a nutrient-rich compound called fertilizer. This process is also commonly referred to as “feeding.”
Soil Profile – Your lawn’s soil profile is basically the set of characteristics making up its overall construction. Soil type, chemical levels, mineral content, clay content – all of these factors and more develop your lawn’s specific and unique soil profile.
Thatch – When your grass and other plants die, or nearby plants die and their remains are blown into your lawn, those remains form a layer in the upper part of your lawn called thatch. Thatch is completely natural, but when it grows too thick it can damage your lawn’s potential for healthy growth.
Pre-Emergent Weed Control – Weed control can take many forms. At Lawn Doctor of Lake Worth-Wellington-Jupiter, we tackle weed control from several angles. Pre-emergent weed control refers to preventative treatments to avoid new weeds from popping up.
