Along with our direct lawn care services, we would also like to share some advice about avoiding common DIY mistakes. Let&#8217;s take a look.<\/p>\n<h2>Common DIY Lawn Care Mistakes<\/h2>\n<p><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20name%3D%22uuid%22%20content%3D%22uuidTU6PSjrrZhNb%22%20%2F%3E--><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20charset%3D%22utf-8%22%20%2F%3E--><\/p>\n<p><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20name%3D%22uuid%22%20content%3D%22uuidp1xbZEpeldR7%22%20%2F%3E--><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20charset%3D%22utf-8%22%20%2F%3E--><\/p>\n<p>Here are three typical mistakes to avoid:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Over-fertilizing.\u00a0<\/strong>Many homeowners fail to recognize that the fertilization process is complex. You cannot just add any fertilizer in any quantity to your yard and expect good results. To deliver the proper nutrients for your lawn, you must understand the soil conditions and other factors. The process can get tricky, so delegating the work to experienced professionals is always the way to go.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pulling weeds by hand.\u00a0<\/strong>Hand-pulling is simply not an effective long-term solution for weed growth. Yes, you may be able to quickly clear up some aesthetic issues, but those weeds will likely grow back. We offer pre- and post-emergent herbicide treatments to stop this issue and preserve your beautiful lawn. With these two weed control options, we can stop weeds before or after they germinate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Over-watering.\u00a0<\/strong>As with fertilization, more is not always better. In fact, over-watering can cause some serious issues for your lawn. To deliver the precise amount of moisture your lawn needs, all you need to do is water before sunrise. This timing allows your lawn to absorb enough moisture while avoiding the risk of over-watering, as the rising sun will burn off any water that is not absorbed. We recommend two sessions per week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Secure Our Professional Lawn Care for Your Home in Leonia<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to avoid difficult yard chores, reduce overall costs, and secure a healthier, greener landscape for your home, professional lawn care from Lawn Doctor of Teaneck is the right choice.
