Most property owners can think of far more enjoyable ways to spend their time than the continuous chore of lawn care and land maintenance. Taking care of a lawn can be a tedious undertaking that can take the enjoyment out of having one, and sometimes no matter how much effort is put into it the desired results are not achieved. In the height of the growing season, missing that small window of time set aside for mowing can result in excess growth that can be hard to catch up with.
More Than Mowing
There are a lot more work and attention that goes into maintaining a lush, healthy, and green lawn than just mowing it once each week when summer rolls around. One of the most common lawn care problems that property owners face is a disease. Lawn disease can occur in the midwest nearly all year long. The Disease is often caused by mold or fungus growth in poor water conditions (too much or too little) and improper fertilizing.
The remedy of a diseased lawn requires expert knowledge to identify the problem and provide the proper solution. Prevention is the best cure, and regular maintenance includes preventative measures such as monitoring soil pH, nitrogen content, and moisture content. Properly applied fertilizers are used to make adjustments when necessary. They are combined with herbicides for weed control and aeration to help improve fertilizer and water absorption.
Pests and weeds are also a threat and are part of the circle of cause and effect that includes disease. Pest and weed infestations can damage foliage and roots. This makes an otherwise healthy lawn susceptible to disease, and disease can make a lawn vulnerable to pests. These lawn care issues are best addressed by professionals.
