Learn More About Your Lawn in Ocala With This Refresher
Here’s a quick terminology refresher to help you understand what types of care your lawn may be in need of:
- Broadleaf weeds. Broadleaf weeds are a weed type that flowers quickly and should be dealt with quickly using targeted treatments.
- Crabgrass. Crabgrass is a grassy weed that regenerates at the root, meaning preventative action is key. Pre-emergent treatments are best for limiting the threat of crabgrass.
- Soil test. An analysis of the chemical makeup of the soil in your yard is called a soil test. With this report, you can gain insight into the health of your soil, its pH, and the nutrients available to plants within it.
- pH. The pH, meaning the measurement of the acidity or alkalinity, of your soil can play a crucial role in grass health. A relatively acidic pH is generally best for growing grass.
- Lime. Lime is a versatile mineral used in soil treatments to lower the pH of alkaline soils and bring them into the acidic spectrum for better turf health.
- Nutrient deficiency. When a plant is in need of a certain nutrient, it can experience nutrient deficiency and side-effects such as a brownish, yellowish, or faded color.
