Diagnosing, protecting, and boosting the health of local lawns all come with their own industry-specific terms. Understanding this vocabulary can not only help you more easily communicate with and understand our technicians, hardware store associates, and your lawn care enthusiast neighbors, but it can also help you better understand your outdoor spaces. Below, we’ll take a closer look at some essential terms and how they can pop up in relation to our residential lawn care in the Princeton, NJ area.
Essential Lawn Care Terms
There are several industry-specific terms that can come up during the treatment process. Let’s take a look at a few of them:
1. Treatment
We offer a full range of services designed to keep your lawn healthy and growing through the seasons. Indidual applications of these services are referred to as “treatments.” Ongoing treatments are often required to keep your yard looking its best, while others are utilized to address imbalances and health issues that pop up over time.
2. Dormant
“Dormant” simply means alive, but not active. This term can be used to describe grass that goes dormant in the winter, inactive weeds, and even pests that survive the winter by going dormant.
3. Brown Patch
There are several lawn diseases that can pop up in your yard, and they can be caused by a long list of different factors. One of these diseases is called “brown patch.” This lawn disease is caused by fungus. Although it can be remedied with a fungicide, brown patch is best prevented with effective overall lawn maintenance.
4. pH
One of the most important factors that determines your lawn’s overall health is its pH. The pH scale measures acidity and alkalinity in your lawn, and these levels need to be within a certain range for your lawn to stay healthy and produce consistent grass growth through the seasons.
