When your grass is looking pale and thin, it’s time to admit that your approach to yard care simply isn’t working. However, this may not be due to a lack of effort. In fact, it may be because you’ve been fooled by common myths and have based your routine of caring for your lawn in Lawrenceville around these falsehoods.
At Lawn Doctor of Lawrenceville-Suwanee, we strive to make lawn care less of a hassle for local homeowners. Instead of constantly having to question the advice you hear from your friends and neighbors, or even tips you pick up online, trust our experts to care for your lawn properly.
Exposing Widespread Yard Care Myths
We know that lawn care myths can be a real headache for folks, as they often lead to a waste of time and money. Here are some of these misconceptions that we’ve made a point of debunking:
- Myth #1: You should pick up a pair of spiked shoes if your soil is compacted. Your footwear isn’t going to solve the problem of overly dense soil. To break up problematic compaction, we recommend having plugs of dirt removed from the ground through core aeration conducted by our experienced team.
- Myth #2: You need to get to work dethatching if you see thatch on your yard. Thatch can be worrisome, but this isn’t always the case. While too much thatch is a common issue, it’s also important to recognize that a little bit of thatch can help insulate the foundation of your yard. With our experts taking care of your turf, you won’t have to worry about making this distinction.
- Myth #3: You can control all weeds just using products from a local store. Although some products available at local stores can partially control the weeds, they will fail to control some hard weeds and, without using specific herbicides only available for professionals, the weeds will continue spreading and taking over your lawn. Additionally, the success of a well implemented weed control depends on applying the correct products, the correct amount and the right time of application. Our weed control program is designed to control weeds more commonly seen in our region through the use of pre-emergent herbicides to prevent weeds from germinating and, the application of post-emergent herbicides done by our experts every time we service your lawn.
- Myth #4: Fertilizer is the answer to bare patches. Barren areas of your lawn can’t be magically filled in with fertilizer. First, the root problem causing the bare patches needs to be identified and then solved by:
- Applying specific treatments will mitigate the problem and provide conditions for the grass to grow or,
- Replacing the grass you have by a grass that better fits your specific environmental conditions or,
- Seeding your lawn to recover damaged areas.
Our experts have the knowledge to evaluate your lawn and propose the right technical solutions to help you achieve the lush look you’re hoping.
