There’s a long list of industry-specific terms that can pop up at one point or another during the lawn care process. And whether these terms are being used to describe components of your lawn, the factors that put its health at risk, or the steps we’re taking to keep it healthy, it’s helpful to understand what a few of them mean. We’ll take a closer look at some of these terms below and highlight where they fit into our overall approach to residential lawn care in the Woodstock, GA area.
Four Essential Residential Lawn Care Terms
Let’s dive into a few must-know residential lawn care terms for Woodstock residents:
Cool-season grass. There are several types of grass that can populate your outdoor spaces. Different grass types are generally categorized by the climates they thrive in. Cool-season grasses thrive in cooler weather, which is why they’re often used in lawns located in the northern states. These grasses tend not to do well in extreme heat or drought conditions, which is something to consider if you’re planning on using cool-season grass in your yard.
Warm-season grass. Warm-season grasses, unlike cool-season grasses, are accustomed to warmer weather, but have trouble with the cold. Warm-season grasses, except for a handful of prairie grass varieties, generally turn brown and go dormant in colder weather.
Compaction. When the soil in your lawn becomes pressed together too tightly, whether due to foot traffic or simply the passing of time, it’s referred to as compaction. Compaction is an issue because it can prevent resources from reaching your roots. You may hear this term in inspections or while we’re creating a treatment plan for your outdoor spaces, as it’s a common issue in local lawns.
Aeration. Breaking apart compacted soil is referred to as aeration, and it’s an essential part of keeping your lawn healthy in the long run. At Lawn Doctor of NW Atlanta, we utilize heavy-duty core aeration equipment to aerate local lawns, but there are several methods for breaking up compacted soil.
