When you start getting deeper into how your lawn works and how you can keep it healthy, it can become very intricate. Below are a few\u00a0of the essential lawn care terms every Ocala homeowner and commercial property manager should know:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fertilization\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; Your lawn needs nutrients to grow and thrive, and sometimes your lawn needs a helping hand to keep its nutrient levels high. Fertilization refers to the addition of one of these compounds, called fertilizers, to boost your soil&#8217;s nutrient density for sparked growth and resilience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>pH Balance\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; Acidity plays a big part in your lawn&#8217;s overall health. Your lawn&#8217;s pH balance is its measurement of acidity. If your yard&#8217;s pH is too high or too low, it can cause your plants to have difficulty absorbing the nutrients in the soil, which leads to spots, weak roots, thinning and several other unsightly side effects.\u00a0 We offer pH balancing treatments to prevent these side effects and keep your lawn healthy and within the prime chemical levels for growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soil Profile\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Your lawn&#8217;s distinct composition has a dramatic impact on how it grows, responds to treatment and fights off external threats. The mineral content, pH level, nutrient density and material type of your soil all combine to form your lawn&#8217;s soil profile. Our team works around your lawn&#8217;s soil profile to provide optimized treatments for lasting results.<\/p>\n<p data-qtag-num=\"Q100001659\"><strong>Call\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Ocala-Homosassa today at\u00a0(352) 307-2340 for more information on the lawn care treatments we offer and to schedule your free lawn evaluation.
