It’s relatively easy to find information out there on how to care for your lawn. However, not all of this information can be trusted, and it’s not always easy to separate misinformation from actual advice that will help you maintain a healthier yard in Medford and throughout\u00a0Southern New Jersey. And while some of the residential lawn care myths out there are harmless, some can lead to long-lasting issues with your lawn’s overall health. Below, we’ll examine a few of the most common myths out there to help you avoid taking steps that could damage your outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n

Residential Lawn Care Myths to Avoid<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are endless lawn care myths out there. Let’s take a look at some of the most common and some reasons for avoiding them:<\/p>\n

1. Watering in the evening is ideal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watering during a certain time of day will get you better results than watering at other times, but the evening isn’t the best time. In fact, watering in the evening can lead to the development of lawn diseases, mildew, and other issues. Water in the morning to effectively hydrate your lawn without the risk of causing health problems.<\/p>\n

2. The best way to fight weeds is to pull them by hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fighting weeds can be done through several methods, with hand-pulling being one of them. However, when you pull weeds by hand, you risk part of the plant being left intact. And unless weeds are destroyed or removed completely, they can grow back. To effectively fight weeds, our team utilizes weed control products that destroy these plants and their root systems entirely.<\/p>\n

3. Fertilizing your yard is only necessary once or twice per year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fertilization is essential for giving your lawn the nutrients it needs to thrive, but just one or two applications in a year isn’t enough to get the job done right. To avoid nutrient imbalances and deficiencies, we recommend 4-6 fertilization treatments per year.<\/p>\n
