Proper nourishment – If you ate only candy and ice cream, you wouldn’t be nearly as healthy as you could be. Just like you, your lawn needs proper nourishment to stay at its best. Just as food is divided into groups, there is no single type of fertilizer that will address all your lawn’s needs. Some fertilizers are liquid, and others are granular. A lawn care service professional can evaluate your lawn’s seasonal needs and advise you on the best type of fertilizer to use.
Weed control – Weeds are unsightly, but they also damage your lawn’s foundation. Weeds compete with lawn grasses for water, nutrients, and sunlight, and as long as they are present, your lawn can’t reach its full potential. For the best coverage, opt for a weed control program that targets weeds both before they emerge from the ground and after.
Insect control – Insects also threaten your lawn’s well-being. Sod webworms, the caterpillars-form larvae of a type of moth, feed on lawn grasses and can destroy patches of your lawn. Grubs, fleas, fire ants, and grubs are among other insects that can wreak havoc on a lawn from above and below ground. By choosing green pest control, you can protect your lawn as well as the environment.
Mowing, irrigation, and disease control. Mowing may seem like an obvious way to keep your lawn healthy, and regular mowing is important. For a healthy lawn, make sure irrigation is uniform and allow low, boggy areas to drain as quickly as possible.
Even with excellent care, a lawn may become diseased. Residential Brevard County lawn care services such as Slug-A-Bug, may offer disease treatments for plant maladies like dollar spot fungus, gray leaf spot fungus, and brown patch fungus. This will help treat existing problems and prevent further spread of the disease.
Lawn care is a team effort between you and your local residential lawn care service, but with a little work, you’ll be enjoying lush, green grass all year long.
