Aeration
Lawns need core aeration on a pretty regular basis. You’ll know it as the process of running a device over the entire area of grass that has metal tubes that roll over the lawn and remove plugs of turf and soil. These plugs are then placed on the surface of the grass. These holes in the turf make it easier for water, nutrients, air, and even fertilizer to reach the root system of your lawn far easier. It allows the soil to loosen, your lawn’s roots to grow more feely and not be so packed in and generally promotes healthier, happier grass. Core aeration is a somewhat labor intensive service and requires the device to complete it effectively. Additionally, performing this too often could eventually damage instead of help the root system of your lawn, so it’s good to do it on a very set schedule and rely heavily on the advice of experienced professionals who will be good judges of the grass’s health and whether or not the procedure should proceed.
Fertilization
Fertilizer is one of the most important parts of a good lawn care regimen. Fertilizer is like vitamins for your grass, and it ensures that your lawn has the nutrients it needs to stay healthy and adaptive. We fertilize on a regular basis to ensure the lawn in question is healthier than ever before and is likely to produce high-quality and exceptional growth with far more ease. There are three types of fertilizers: slow-release synthetic, slow-release organic and fast-release synthetic. All of these need to be utilized at different times to ensure optimal performance and absorption. For example, if you favor a fast-release without taking into account the time of year or how old the lawn is, you may cause a quick initial growth spurt but then find that the root system has been made inadequate to support that growth. This is a simple mistake, but a common one.
Investing in the expertise of experienced landscapers and lawn maintenance professionals will protect you from similar mistakes and keep your grass healthier for longer.
Weed Control
The idea of keeping weeds out of grass, to the regular joe, can seem like an impossible task, but it doesn't have to be. Here at My4Seasons Landscaping, we treat your lawn with post-emergent and pre-emergent herbicides that act to kill seed sprouts of weeds and target existing weeds and kill them at the root. Regular application of these high-quality herbicides will keep your lawn looking trim and weed-free with far less maintenance. Plus, on the occasion that a weed breaks through that line of defense, we’ll be able to treat it immediately and without pause.
