When your lawn needs help, Lawn Doctor of Metamora-Morton-East Peoria is the team you can trust for expert residential lawn care. While we’re treating your turf, though, there might be issues or services we offer that you aren’t familiar with. To ensure you understand what we’re doing and why, here’s a look at a few common lawn terms you should know.
- pH Adjustment. When soil pH is off, it hinders the availability of nutrients to your lawn. With our adjustment services, we can test your soil and balance it, so it provides more favorable growing conditions.
- Integrated Pest Management. IPM is a part of our natural residential lawn care services in the Metamora area and offers an eco-friendly way to control pests by combining common sense techniques and organic products.
- Thatch. The thatch in your lawn refers to a loose layer of organic matter, both living and dead, on the soil surface. A little is good for your lawn, but if it gets too thick, it blocks fertilizer and water.
- Soil Compaction. When the particles in the soil get pressed together and become dense, this is compaction. It’s a problem because it restricts airflow and stops nutrients and water from getting properly absorbed.
- Core Aeration. Using this technique, we cut out thousands of small soil plugs from across your whole lawn. This improves air circulation and enables other resources to reach roots.
- Power Seeding. Seeding this way improves turf density because we first cut into the soil, then seed. This increases the seed-to-soil contact and boosts the germination rate to around 90%.
- Macronutrients. These are the major nutrients, like nutrients and phosphorous, your lawn needs for optimal growth, color, and health.
