When our technicians come by to address any existing issues and keep your lawn looking its best, you may hear them use some lawn care-specific terminology that you’re not completely familiar with. Understanding this terminology makes it easier to understand what our team at Lawn Doctor of Haverford Township-Lansdale-Boyertown-Tredyffrin is looking for in our initial evaluation, why we’re applying certain treatments, and our general process for residential lawn care in the Wayne, PA area.
Essential Lawn Care Terms
There are several unique terms involved in residential lawn care for the Wayne area, used to describe anything from the threats that put your lawn’s health in jeopardy to the solutions we use to address them. Here are some of the most common lawn care terms we use at Lawn Doctor of Haverford Township-Lansdale-Boyertown-Tredyffrin:
1. Aeration
When the soil in your yard becomes packed too tightly together, it can cause issues with your lawn’s overall health by preventing root expansion and blocking the circulation of essential resources. Breaking this compacted soil apart is called “aeration,” and it’s important because it restores this circulation while giving your roots space to grow.
2. Anaerobic
Oxygen is important to your soil and your lawn’s root systems, but some factors can prevent oxygen from freely circulating throughout your lawn. “Anaerobic” is a term used to describe lawns that aren’t getting sufficient oxygen, and you might hear us mention it if your lawn has compacted soil, thatch, or another issue that’s keeping oxygen out.
3. Pre-Emergent
We utilize a comprehensive weed control approach to effectively address a wide range of different types of weeds. “Pre-emergent” treatments refer to treatments that target weeds that are still under the surface of your lawn. Addressing these weeds is a preventative measure that helps you avoid infestations over time.
4. Post-Emergent
“Post-emergent” weeds, on the other hand, have already sprouted up on your lawn and can actively spread. Spotting and eliminating these weeds helps you keep your lawn looking its best.
