That said, while we aim to make our treatments as simple and clear-cut as possible, there could be some terms we use in our work that you’re not familiar with. To keep you informed, here’s a look at a few of them.
- pH. This is the measurement of the acidity and alkalinity of soil and can be determined by a soil test. If it’s too high or low, it can hinder the growth of grass, trees, and shrubs. Our team can test your soil and amend it if needed.
- Thatch. This is the layer of dead and living plant matter on the soil surface below the grass. Too heavy, and it can hinder water and fertilizer from reaching roots. It can also harbor diseases and insects.
- Compaction. This happens when soil particles become tightly packed without room for healthy air flow or water and nutrient movement. It’s where our core aeration service can help.
- Micronutrients. Chemical elements required by plants in very small doses are micronutrients. They include iron, copper, manganese, and zinc.
- Macronutrients. These nutrients are required in larger amounts, the three primary ones being nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium.
- Fertilizer Burn. Scorching can happen to grass blades when too much fertilizer is applied or applied at the wrong time of year. It’s why Lawn Doctor of St. Louis uses a slow-release fertilizer that reduces the risk of burns.
- Post-Emergent. Our treatments that are applied to a lawn after weeds, diseases, or insects appear are considered post-emergent.
- Pre-Emergent. Conversely, these treatments are applied proactively before the appearance of a problem.
