No homeowner wants to deal with patchy, weed-infested, or yellowing grass. But grass care can be complex and nuanced, with different grass species needing different levels of sunlight, water, and nutrients. And you already have enough on your plate. That’s where Lawn Doctor of South Charlotte can help! Our expert lawn treatments can improve your turf’s health, bringing your grass back to peak condition.
Let’s review a few things about your turf and how these factors affect your lawn.
3 Important Facts About Grass Care
Grass is one of the oldest plant families on Earth, with all kinds of plants, including barley, wheat, bamboo, and even palm trees! It’s no surprise, then, that different types of grass benefit from different treatments and care. Let’s review a few things to know:
- Roots are integral to your turf’s health. While roots are rarely glimpsed from the surface, they’re the real power players when it comes to your lawn. Root systems can make up as much as 90% of a grass plant’s weight! They also play a key role in feeding your turf and keeping unwanted weeds away. Keeping your lawn’s roots healthy is important, which is where core aeration and other expert treatments can help.
- Grass tends to struggle in clay soil. While North Carolina is home to many different soil regions, the soil in Charlotte heavily features clay. This ingredient is important to grass health, but it requires a good balance of silt and sand to ensure that your turf can thrive easily. We can look at your soil, identify what’s needed, and recommend treatments to improve soil composition.
- You want to be conscious of your grass species. Many types of grass look very similar at a distance. But when you get close-up, there’s a huge variety. For properties in North Carolina, some grasses are better suited to our weather conditions than others. You’ll likely want a hardy, drought-resistant grass species like Bermuda grass, but you can always check in with our grass care experts to learn more.
