Here’s a closer look at some factors which may affect how your lawn is doing.
What To Know About Grass Care in Ocala
Grass is one of the world’s oldest and largest plant families, so it’s no surprise that looking after healthy grass can get complicated very quickly. Expert input can reduce the guesswork and frustration while ensuring your lawn is thriving.
Let’s take a look at some things to know about your grass:
- Your turf requires a unique approach. When you move from one property to another, you may be frustrated when the same grass care tricks don’t make a difference to your turf. In fact, the right approach to your lawn can vary enormously from yard to yard. The age and species of your grass will be key. It’s also important to consider factors like soil composition and the sun-to-shade ratio of your outdoor areas.
- The proper grass type makes all the difference. You may be surprised to learn how many different turfgrass varieties exist in America. There are over 1,400 types! Each of these types is suited to certain climate conditions. Homeowners in Ocala always want to think about warm-weather grasses, which are hardy and thrive well in the hotter months of the year. These include Bermuda, Bahiagrass, and Zoysia grasses.
- Your soil might be tough on your grass. Grass doesn’t do well in all soil types. The ideal soil for your grass is called “loam,” which is a good blend of sand, silt, and clay. In Central Florida, soil composition tends to be sandier, meaning it doesn’t retain water as well and may crumble easily. Fortunately, your lawn care experts can assess soil quality and recommend any treatments needed.
