Every industry has its own unique terminology, and lawn care is no exception to that rule. Industry-specific terms are used to describe everything from your lawn’s different components to the threats that put its health and appearance at risk, which is why it can be helpful to have some familiarity with these different terms. Below, we’ll take a closer look at some of these must-know terms below and how they fit into the big picture of our residential lawn care in the Mullica Hill, NJ area.
Essential Residential Lawn Care Terms
There are several terms that can pop up at some point throughout the treatment process. Here’s a closer look at a few of them:
1. Cool-Season
Keeping your grass looking great is a big part of what we do. As part of our service, we utilize an individualized approach to care for a long list of different grasses. However, different grasses have different needs. “Cool season” grasses, like Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass, can’t tolerate extreme heat and often go dormant during summers and winters.
2. Warm-Season
The other type of grass is called “warm season” grass, and it includes grasses like Bermudagrass and Zoysia. Warm season grasses generally don’t fare well in colder seasons, but some warm season prairie grasses can survive them in a dormant state.
3. Compaction
When your lawn’s soil is packed together too tightly, it loses the ability to freely circulate essential resources like nutrients and water. The packing together of your soil over time is called “compaction,” and it can happen for several reasons, including increased foot traffic, the use of heavy machinery, and a handful of others. When we’re analyzing your yard and diagnosing its issues, you may hear this term pop up.
4. Aeration
To remedy compaction, it takes a specific type of lawn treatment. “Aeration” is the process of breaking apart compacted soil, and it can be done through either manual tools or with heavy-duty machinery.
