Your lawn needs regular maintenance to stay healthy, which is where our team comes in. However, like most industries, lawn care has its own unique terminology. Being familiar with some of this terminology will make it easier to understand what we’re looking for in our inspections, the problems we’re addressing, and why we’re addressing them. Below, we’ll highlight some key residential lawn care terms that Lower Merion, PA homeowners should know.
Four Essential Lawn Care Terms
There’s a long list of different terms you may hear our technicians use before or during the treatment process. Here’s a closer look at just a few of the many must-know terms relating to our residential lawn care:
Scalping. How you mow your grass affects your lawn’s overall health. And though our team doesn’t offer mowing services, we may advise you on how to get the most out of mowing your grass. If you mow your grass too short, you may hear our team refer to it as scalping. Scalping is an issue because it makes it easier for weeds to move into your lawn and take over.
Aeration. The composition of your soil plays an important part in determining your lawn’s overall health. If your soil becomes packed too tightly, it can make it difficult for water and nutrients to reach your root systems. Breaking apart compacted soil is crucial, and the act of doing that is called aeration. This can be done either with simple, handheld tools, heavy-duty machinery, and everything in between.
Anaerobic. Oxygen is an essential resource for your lawn, but sometimes it’s in short supply for a handful of potential reasons. Lawns that are lacking in oxygen are referred to as being anaerobic.
Pre & post-emergent. Weed control is a big part of our service, and it involves fighting different types of weeds. Pre-emergent and post-emergent weeds are some of the types we fight. Pre-emergent weeds are still under the ground, and post-emergent weeds have already sprouted up through your lawn’s surface.
