Getting a green, thick lawn is easier said than done. Plus, with the plethora of half-truths and myths just a click away, it’s even more challenging these days. So how do you know what your lawn needs? Lawn Doctor of the Inland Empire can help. We offer the facts and truth behind some common residential lawn care myths in Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, and nearby areas in CA, including the following:
- Myth #1: Fertilizers harm the environment. When fertilizer is applied properly, in the right amount, it helps your grass grow thicker and greener without harming the environment. If, however, you overfertilize, not only can you damage your grass, but also impact the environment. It’s why hiring a residential lawn care company in the Upland area is a good idea.
- Myth #2: All you need are spiked shoes to aerate. Wearing spiked shoes while you mow will not actually aerate the soil, despite claims to the contrary. At least 5% of the soil must be aerated to reduce soil compaction and shoes can’t come close to achieving that number. That’s where core aeration comes in, which is proven to reduce soil compaction.
- Myth #3: Beer is good for brown spots. Feeding beer to your lawn is not actually good for it. The yeast in it will also feed any fungus that’s developing. At the same time, the sugars and alcohol in the beer can cause damage to your grass. Stick to real fertilizer that actually works.
- Myth #4: A lawn is a lawn. They’re all the same. Sure, all lawns have grass and soil. However, there are a wide range of grass species, soil conditions, and other factors, like sun and shade exposure, size, and more that make your lawn distinct. It’s why the most effective care is customized.
