Keeping your lawn healthy, growing, and looking its best through the seasons requires ongoing maintenance. But when our team shows up to administer that maintenance, they may use some terms that you’re not totally familiar with. There’s a unique language that comes with lawn care, and it’s helpful to be familiar with at least some of the terms involved. Below, we’ll take a look at terms that are essential to know when you utilize residential lawn care services in the Bucks County, PA area.
Four Essential Lawn Care Terms
There are several essential lawn care terms that can come up before or during the treatment process. Here’s a quick look at some of the most common:
Scalping. How you mow your lawn has a major effect on your lawn’s overall health. And although we don’t offer mowing services, we can offer helpful advice to help you get the job done right. Scalping is a term that may pop up during this discussion, and it simply refers to cutting your grass too short. This can cause problems by making your lawn more susceptible to weed infestations, lawn disease, and other issues.
Aeration. Compacted soil is a common issue in local lawns, and it can cause a serious decline in your yard’s health by blocking the essential circulation of the resources your lawn needs to stay healthy. Aeration refers to breaking apart compacted soil with machinery or with handheld tools.
Anaerobic. Your lawn needs oxygen to stay healthy. Some lawns, for one reason or another, have trouble getting this oxygen to their root systems. We refer to lawns that aren’t getting enough oxygen in the soil as anaerobic, which just means “without oxygen.”
Pre- & post-emergent. Our weed control service addresses several types of weeds. When we’re either planning or applying our treatments, you may hear our team refer to these treatments as pre-emergent and post-emergent. These terms refer to whether the weeds have broken through the surface of your lawn or not yet.
