3 DIY Mistakes That Can Harm Your Lawn
The appeal of DIY lawn care can quickly vanish when you’re faced with mediocre results—or, worse, significant damage to your turf. For homes and businesses across the region, here are three common mistakes that can have adverse results:
- Not knowing what type of grass you’re dealing with. All turfgrass may look the same from a distance—but grass species can vary hugely in their characteristics and needs, dictating what treatments they require and when they require them. Our professional technicians will always start by identifying what type of grass is on your turf, offering input on watering schedules and timing treatments to maximize impact.
- Using improper weed removal methods. When it comes to grassy weeds in particular, you want to be careful about weed removal. Many common methods for DIY treatment can cause just as much harm to your grass plants as to weeds. That’s why getting precise weed control from experts who know what they’re doing is crucial. We’ll use targeted methods to eradicate grassy weeds while helping your turf thrive.
- Trying a one-size-fits-all fertilizer. Simply put, not all fertilizers are the same. The wrong fertilizer won’t just impact your lawn—it can also affect your soil quality and even contaminate your groundwater. With our team, you can always look forward to a custom blend of nutrient-rich fertilizers tailored to your lawn and soil. It means that fertilization will accomplish its job, giving your turf the ingredients it needs to grow thick, lush, and green.
