Does your lawn deliver disappointing results every year? With so much residential lawn care information just a click away and endless products on store shelves in North Little Rock, Central Pulaski County, and nearby areas in AR, it’s easy to get fooled by myths and half-truths. To help correct some common misconceptions, here’s the facts versus the fiction.
Myth #1: Fertilizer is one-size-fits-all.
It’s true every lawn needs to be fertilized. But with what? There’s no cookie-cutter formula for fertilization and it depends on the species of grass growing in your lawn, the condition of your lawn overall, the composition of the soil, and time of year. This means if you want the best results, you need to tailor fertilization to your unique lawn.
Myth #2: Hand-pulling weeds is a good way to eliminate them.
Unfortunately, many times, when you hand-pull weeds, you’ll remove the leaves and stem, but not the roots below. Over time, the plant simply grows back. The best way to enjoy a lawn without weeds is to make sure it’s strong and thick, so grass crowds out developing weeds and to have proper time applying pre-emergents and weed applications to discourage weed growth.
Myth #3: All lawns can be treated the same.
Your lawn is different from the one next door and down the street. To get the most from your lawn care, you need to take into account many factors, from the size and topography to the grass species growing in it, problem areas, weather, local growing conditions in the Little Rock area, and more.
Myth #4: A professional isn’t worth the cost.
A residential lawn care professional in the Little Rock area can actually save you both time and money. As experts in grass species, local conditions, common stressors, soil-related issues, and more, an expert lawn professional can quickly diagnose a problem and personalize a service plan. They’ll also treat it with commercial-grade products and equipment not available in retail stores.
