When the internet or your neighbors become your go-to source for residential lawn care advice, you may not realize that you’re being exposed to a lot of myths and misconceptions. At Lawn Doctor of North Bradenton-Parrish-Valrico, we work to set the record straight on the best lawn care practices for homeowners in Lithia. Rely on our support to ensure your lawn has the advantage of being cared for based on in-depth knowledge and experience rather than hearsay.
Exposing Widespread Residential Lawn Care Myths
There are too many lawn care myths going around to count, but some are more widespread than others. Here are a few that we’ve been hearing lately and want to debunk once and for all:
- Myth #1: You can cut down on the time you spend on lawn care by cutting your grass short. You might feel like your schedule benefits from mowing your grass short, but the health of your turf won’t. Although our team doesn’t offer lawn mowing services, we highly recommend that homeowners cut off no more than one third of the grass blade when mowing. This can help prevent future health problems by ensuring soil and grass roots benefit from the shade and protection they need.
- Myth #2: There’s no need to spend time choosing a fertilizer. Actually, selecting a fertilizer requires some thought and knowledge of the current condition of your grass. Local homeowners rely on our experts to understand which balance of nutrients will best support the health of their turf, select the right formula for these circumstances, and apply it with precision.
- Myth #3: You can count on your grass to heal itself over time. Your turf won’t magically repair itself if it is in poor health and is constantly bombarded with external threats. If it’s struggling with a disease, fungus, or competition from weeds, professional treatments are a necessity.
