At Lawn Doctor of Northern Kentucky, we’re the team known and trusted in Fort Mitchell, Alexandria, and other nearby areas in KY for expert lawn care. We can get your grass in great shape, without hassle or headache.
That said, while we aim to keep our services simple, there are some terms we use during treatments you might not be familiar with. To ensure you understand what we’re doing and why, here are a few of them.
- Turfgrass. These are the many types of grasses that grow together to form your lawn.
- Grassy Weeds. Grassy weeds include crabgrass and nutsedge and can be hard to spot because they look and act like turfgrass.
- Broadleaf Weeds. Broadleaf weeds, on the other hand, look far different with wide leaves and a center vein. The most common is dandelion.
- Warm-season Grass. These are grasses that generally thrive in the southern U.S. and experience their peak growth during the warm summer months.
- Integrated Pest Management. With IPM, we take an organic approach to pest control, one that mixes a range of common sense lawn care measures and natural products.
- Power Seeding. This goes beyond traditional seeding by cutting small slits into your soil, then seeding. It produces greater seed-to-soil contact, increasing germination.
- pH Level. This is the measure of the alkalinity and the acidity in the soil. It can affect plant growth, making it key. We can test the pH in your soil and amend it if needed.
- Compaction. Compaction is when the soil particles get pressed together and put pressure on roots. It restricts air flow, and nutrient and water absorption.
- Core Aeration. We can break through compaction with core aeration. This technique involves cutting out thousands of tiny soil plugs in your lawn, creating pathways for air, water, and nutrients to circulate.
