Nurturing your lawn to a beautiful state of lasting health isn’t only a time-consuming, energy-draining ordeal. Getting this right also requires in-depth knowledge and experience in the area of lawn care. Unless you have years of professional experience under your belt, you’re more likely than not to make a few errors on your lawn in West Jordan that are holding your turf back from its greenest, healthiest potential.
Common DIY Lawn Care Errors
At Lawn Doctor of West Salt Lake City-Herriman-Tooele, we have found that homeowners often turn to us after making DIY mistakes that damage their turf or fail to provide the expected results. If you believe you could be making any of the common errors listed below, don’t hesitate to ask our team to swoop in and save the day:
- Applying fertilizer formulas in excess. You know that fertilizer is good for your lawn, so you may find yourself applying it in ample amounts. However, when it comes to fertilizer, it’s important to remember that there’s such a thing as too much of a good thing. Application must be done precisely to prevent discoloration and damage resulting from fertilizer burn and exposure to excess nitrogen.
- Fertilizing at the wrong time of year. In addition to paying attention to how much fertilizer is used, it is also crucial to consider when it is being applied. Our team can be trusted to determine the right ongoing schedule of treatments for your yard based on seasonal projections.
- Using hand-pulling as weed control. Pulling weeds out with your hands may make your lawn look better momentarily, but it won’t solve your weed problem. This is because pieces of root that remain in the soil will regenerate, and you’ll have more weeds on your hands in the future. The solution to this seemingly endless cycle is to rely on our weed control treatments.
- Putting off testing the soil. If you are neglecting the health of your soil, the health of your lawn as a whole could be suffering. A pH test can provide essential information about whether your soil is offering the right environment for grass or requires further treatment.
