We can clear up invasive plant growth, provide your lawn with essential nutrition and protect your grass from pests, disease, harsh weather, and much more. In addition to our expert treatments, we also work hard to keep our clients informed. As part of that goal, let’s begin by debunking some critical lawn care myths.<\/p>\n
Myth #1: Cutting your grass short has no negative side effects. <\/strong>False. Proper mowing is an essential part of effective lawn care. To keep your grass in good health, never trim your grass blades by more than one\u00a0third. Doing so will affect your lawn\u2019s ability to conduct photosynthesis.<\/p>\n Myth #2: Your lawn needs to be watered every day. <\/strong>In reality, watering every day would be far too much. For best results, we recommend two watering sessions per week.<\/p>\n Myth #3: It doesn\u2019t matter what time of day you water your lawn. <\/strong>Timing is very important when it comes to watering your grass. Each session should occur just before sunrise, as this allows the rising sun to burn off the excess moisture.<\/p>\n Myth #4: The presence of grubs in your yard is a huge problem. <\/strong>A grub infestation can be a problem, but having a few grubs in your yard is completely normal. Use a shovel to scoop a bit of soil and count the grubs in your sample. As a general rule, if you find more than five, you should seek professional grub control.<\/p>\n Myth #5: Thatch is bad for your lawn. <\/strong>This is only true when the thatch layer is thicker than one half\u00a0inch. Anything less than that is actually quite beneficial for your lawn.<\/p>\n While our experts are eager to provide affordable solutions to all of your complex lawn care needs, there are still a few tasks you’ll need to manage on your own. With the guidance we’ve outlined in the section above, you can avoid costly mistakes and successfully maintain a healthy lawn between our professional treatments.<\/p>\n Our services include lawn fertilization, power seeding, grub control, weed control, core aeration, and many others, all backed up by our leading guarantee.\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Northern Kentucky is proud to operate throughout:<\/p>\nAbout Our Residential Lawn Care in Fort Mitchell<\/strong><\/h2>\n
