At Lawn Doctor of Ogden-Layton, we’re the residential lawn care team trusted across the area for honest answers, expert services, and great results. While treating your lawn, you might hear our team use specific terms you’re not familiar with. Below is a look at a few terms we’re often asked about, what they mean, and ways we can improve your lawn.
- Power Seeding. We use this special process to seed your lawn and improve turf density. It offers excellent seed-to-soil contact and germination rates of 90% because we prepare the soil first by slicing it with a blade, then planting seed.
- Grubs. These invasive pests are beetle larvae that feast on the roots of your lawn. They will eventually kill off parts of your grass without proper treatment, which is where Lawn Doctor of Ogden-Layton can help.
- Compaction. When soil particles press together due to high foot traffic or heavy rainfall, it causes soil compaction. This places pressure on roots and restricts airflow and nutrient absorption.
- Thatch. This is a loose layer of dead and living organic matter that develops on the surface of the soil. A heavy layer can prevent essentials, like water, from reaching roots while also harboring insects and diseases.
- Core Aeration. This technique is used to cut out thousands of small soil plugs across your lawn, breaking up surface thatch and soil compaction and allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach deeper into the root system.
- pH. This is the measure of the acidity and alkalinity of the soil. The pH level is key because it impacts whether nutrients are available to the grassroots. Our team can perform soil testing and add amendments if needed.
- Pre-emergent Weed Control. This approach to weed control targets seedlings still developing in the soil, inhibiting their germination and growth before you even see them. This way, they won’t mature and spread.
