Lawn care is a broad term that encompasses a variety of services. It can include the basic services such as mowing to more complex services like deep root feedings. If you are unhappy with one or more aspects of your lawn, then you need some help. The question is, what type of help do you need? It can be difficult to determine what type of lawn care you need especially if you have not used professional lawn care services in the past. The good news is that you do not have to go through this process on your own. If you plan to hire a lawn care company, the pros will take a look at your lawn and help you determine which services you need. The process that the pros at The Experienced Gardner use includes identifying the main issue, getting rid of the problems, and then taking preventative measures to ensure the issues do not return in the future. 

Identify the main issue

When you look at your lawn, the main issue may be that it doesn’t look good. When a lawn care professional looks at your lawn, he or she will identify why your lawn isn’t looking good. It could be that your grass is being overrun with weeds, killed off by disease, or damaged from pests. Getting to the underlying cause of your issue is essential because it will help determine which type of treatment is right for your situation. A highly trained lawn care professional will be able to quickly uncover the main issue and make recommendations for treatment. 

Get rid of the problems

The second step in this process is to actually get rid of the problems. If the main issue is weeds, pests, or disease, the lawn care pro will apply herbicide, insecticide, or fungicide as needed. If the main issue is related to a lack of nutrition, options for treatment include aeration, fertilization, and soil additive. In many yards, there is a combination of issues that have a negative impact on the look and health of the grass. It is not uncommon to need treatments to eliminate threats as well as an infusion of nutrition. A top-notch lawn care pro will have the training, tools, and experience needed to effectively deal with any problem in your yard. 

Take preventative measures

The final step in the process is to take preventative measures against future issues. These preventative measures will likely include regularly scheduled treatment against threats like disease, pests, and weeds. In addition, your lawn care pro will likely recommend having your lawn aerated and fertilized once or twice a year in order to ensure proper nutrition. Setting up and sticking to a schedule like this is the best way to ensure that your lawn is continuously protected.
