There are many lawn care-specific terms that you may hear when you’re working with our technicians. To help you better understand your outdoor spaces, the factors that threaten your lawn’s health, and why we do what we do, we’ll highlight some of these essential terms below. We’ll share our overall approach to residential lawn care in the Roanoke, VA area and how we deliver service you can depend on season after season.
Essential Lawn Care Terms
Industry-specific terms exist for everything from diagnosing your lawn to applying our services. Let’s take a closer look at a few of these terms:
1. Treatment
We offer a wide range of services to address the different issues that can pop up in your lawn. When these services are put into action, we refer to them as “treatments.” While ongoing fertilization and weed control treatments are a big part of our service, we offer several other treatments to help your lawn fight lawn diseases, recover from imbalances, and produce consistent grass growth.
2. Dormant
“Dormant” refers to a plant that’s alive but not currently active. Certain grasses can go dormant in the winter, turning brown and conserving resources. Weeds can also go dormant, which is part of why spring can be such an irritating time for fighting weeds.
3. Brown Patch
There are several lawn diseases out there. One of the most common is called “brown patch,” and it looks just like you’d expect. This lawn disease is caused by a fungus and is fought with a fungicide, but we can prevent it with effective lawn maintenance.
4. pH
If your lawn is too acidic or too alkaline, it will struggle to produce healthy grass growth. Acidity and alkalinity are measured on a “pH” scale, which stands for “potential hydrogen.” The healthy range for most grasses tends to be around 6-7 on the scale.
