It may seem counterintuitive, but hiring professional lawn care from Lawn Doctor of Villa Park-Elmhurst-Oak Brook will likely reduce your overall lawn care costs. The reason for this is that proper lawn services are difficult to master. If you proceed on your own, you need to be prepared for a prolonged- and expensive- trial and error period.
However, if you’d rather skip all that and enjoy better results, lower costs, and freedom from all that labor, all you need to do is call us. With our ability to solve complex lawn care issues and protect your yard, our experts can help you overcome the pitfalls of DIY and secure the beautiful landscape your home deserves. First, let’s review some key issues caused by ineffective DIY projects.
Common DIY Lawn Care Mistakes
There is no replacement for skill, knowledge, and experience. Here are three common problems caused by inexperienced DIY lawn care:
- Over-fertilizing. Your lawn is a delicate ecosystem that requires a precise volume of each macro and micronutrient. You cannot simply add a bunch of fertilizer to your grass and expect good results. In fact, doing so will likely cause additional harm to your lawn while failing to deliver the growth you want. For effective fertilization that adapts to your lawn and delivers all the right nutrients, our expert service is the way to go.
- Pulling weeds by hand. Weed issues can cause serious harm to your yard, so you need solutions that actually work. DIY hand-pulling is a temporary solution that will not solve the underlying problem. However, with our pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide treatments, our experts can put a stop to invasive plant growth in your yard.
- Over-watering. While we do not offer direct service to water your yard, we are eager to help you avoid the common mistake of over-watering. Excess moisture can cause turf disease and other problems, so you need to time your watering treatments (two per week) right before sunrise. This will allow your lawn to absorb a significant amount of moisture, while letting the rising sun burn off the rest.
