We offer a variety of lawn care services in University City, St. Louis, and nearby areas in MO that will get your turf on track and in great shape. You&#8217;ll get lush green grass without hassles and headaches.<\/p>\n<p>That said, while we aim to make our treatments as simple and clear-cut as possible, there could be some terms we use in our work that you&#8217;re not familiar with. To keep you informed, here&#8217;s a look at a few of them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>pH.\u00a0<\/strong>This is the measurement of the acidity and alkalinity of soil and can be determined by a soil test. If it&#8217;s too high or low, it can hinder the growth of grass, trees, and shrubs. Our team can test your soil and amend it if needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thatch.\u00a0<\/strong>This is the layer of dead and living plant matter on the soil surface below the grass. Too heavy, and it can hinder water and fertilizer from reaching roots. It can also harbor diseases and insects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compaction.\u00a0<\/strong>This happens when soil particles become tightly packed without room for healthy air flow or water and nutrient movement. It&#8217;s where our core aeration service can help.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Micronutrients.<\/strong>\u00a0Chemical elements required by plants in very small doses are micronutrients. They include iron, copper, manganese, and zinc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Macronutrients.<\/strong>\u00a0These nutrients are required in larger amounts, the three primary ones being nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fertilizer Burn.<\/strong>\u00a0Scorching can happen to grass blades when too much fertilizer is applied or applied at the wrong time of year. It&#8217;s why Lawn Doctor of St. Louis uses a slow-release fertilizer that reduces the risk of burns.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Post-Emergent.\u00a0<\/strong>Our treatments that are applied to a lawn after weeds, diseases, or insects appear are considered post-emergent.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pre-Emergent.\u00a0<\/strong>Conversely, these treatments are applied proactively before the appearance of a problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Learn More About Lawn Care in University City<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As you get to know these terms, our team can further get to know your turf. We&#8217;ll evaluate it carefully, determine unique characteristics within it, diagnose issues, and then develop a plan tailor-made around it.
