If you’re interested in hiring Lawn Doctor of Springfield-Lebanon-Bolivar for residential lawn care, you can rest assured you’ll get clear-cut answers, honest recommendations, and beautiful results. In the process, though, we might use certain terms you’re not familiar with. Here’s a look at what you should know, so you understand our services and the ways they benefit your lawn.

  • pH Balancing. The pH level of your soil is key since it affects your lawn’s ability to absorb nutrients. If the acidity or alkalinity is too high or low, your grass roots can’t absorb the right amount of nutrients to remain healthy. Our team can test your soil and provide the proper amendments if necessary.
  • Integrated Pest Management. IPM is a part of our natural residential lawn care services, available around the Springfield area. It controls pests by combining several organic measures and techniques.
  • Soil Compaction. Compaction occurs in the soil when particles are pressed together, forming dense conditions. As a result, oxygen can’t circulate and water and nutrients are blocked from reaching roots.
  • Core Aeration. When soil is compacted, aeration is key. There are several ways to aerate. However, we rely on the approach that’s longest-lasting: core aeration. With it, we will cut out thousands of small soil plugs from all over your lawn in a systematic way. This opens up, so it can breathe and absorb nutrients and water once again.
  • Power Seeding. This is our approach to seeding which prepares the soil first, using sharp blades to cut through it, then planting the seed. This increases seed-to-soil contact substantially.
  • Perimeter Pests. Perimeter pests are those pests living just outside your home, like spiders and ants, that get inside through various tiny cracks and crevices in your foundation and entryways.
