Below is a look at a few of the common ones and what they mean,\u00a0so you have a better understanding of what Lawn Doctor of Brandon-Madison-Ridgeland does and how we can help your lawn:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Broadleaf weeds:\u00a0<\/strong>Broadleaf weeds are those that do not resemble grass and instead have\u00a0flat, broad leaves with a distinct network of veins. Examples include plantain, dandelions, and chickweed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fertilization: <\/strong>The act of distributing key nutrients into the soil in order to promote healthy growth and color, along with better resistance to pests, weeds, and diseases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Foundation plantings: <\/strong>Those larger plantings, including trees and shrubs, found around your home&#8217;s foundation in landscape beds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>pH level: <\/strong>The measure of the acidity or alkalinity of soil. A neutral value is 7.0, with the optimal range for lawns being between 6.0 and 7.0.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lime: <\/strong>An amendment added to the soil to help raise the soil pH level when conditions are too acidic. This, in turn,\u00a0creates better growing conditions for lawns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grassy weeds: <\/strong>Weeds, such as crabgrass, that look and act like grass, but also compete with your lawn for key nutrients, causing damage to health and appearance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grubs: <\/strong>Small, white, C-shaped larvae that feed on grass roots. You can tell you have them if you&#8217;re able to roll back areas of your lawn due to a lack of roots, or if small animals, like birds and raccoons that feed on grubs, are suddenly scavenging in your lawn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moles:<\/strong>\u00a0Small\u00a0mammals that dig tunnels throughout your lawn, leaving a damaging trail on the surface and\u00a0harming your lawn&#8217;s root system down below.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lawn Doctor of Brandon-Madison-Ridgeland: Learn More from Our Local Lawn Care Team Today<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You can handle fertilizing, weed control, and other similar jobs\u00a0on your own.
