Common Residential Lawn Care Terms You May Encounter
As we assess your lawn’s health, discuss your current lawn care routine, and draw up a care plan, you may hear us use terms such as:
- Anaerobic. If we mention that your soil structure is anaerobic, this means that it does not easily allow for the airflow required by healthy grass.
- Aeration. Aeration is the process of breaking up compacted soil and allowing for better circulation by introducing air pockets into the soil structure.
- Crabgrass. Crabgrass is a common nemesis of local homeowners, as this weed can spread rapidly and requires strategic prevention measures.
- Nitrogen. This is a nutrient grass needs in large doses as it is required during the photosynthesis process.
- Fertilizer. Fertilizer is a treatment that delivers crucial nutrition to plants. Proper application is a must to avoid conditions such as fertilizer burn.
- Thatch. Plant matter collecting on top of the soil is referred to as thatch. While the presence of thatch itself is not a problem if this layer is allowed to accumulate, it can impede nutrients from reaching grass roots.
- Soil test. A soil test analyzes your soil, including its acidity or alkalinity, nutrient components, and whether it is helping or hindering grass growth.
