Who doesn’t want a healthy, green lawn? But that beautiful lawn often comes at the price of hours of labor, and sometimes even that isn’t enough. That’s why KEMCO offers lawn care spraying in Memphis designed to take your yard to the next level. Our tips and treatments make it easier to have the lawn of your dreams.
Lawn Care Is A Year-Round Task In Memphis
Keeping your lawn healthy through all weather takes work. Even the basic steps of lawn care—mowing, watering, weeding—vary in difficulty as seasons change. Spending an afternoon outside working on a temperate spring day is very different from the heat of midsummer or cold winter weather. And even in perfect weather, lawn maintenance involves time-consuming, physical labor. That isn’t feasible for everyone all year.
Weather aside, there are many components to lawn health. Even the height of grass can impact its ability to grow appropriately. To keep your yard healthy, you must know about the type of grass you grow and its needs. Changes in the amount of shade cover and even the soil pH can affect how your lawn grows.
The Many Factors That Can Affect The Health Of Your Lawn
Lawns can be surprisingly picky about their needs. Like many other plants, grass requires specific levels of sunlight, water, and soil components—but those needs vary depending on what you grow and where. Soil pH is one aspect that many homeowners don’t consider when caring for their lawns, but it’s essential for healthy growth. To encourage growth, the soil must provide the proper nutrients for your lawn.
Other factors that can damage your lawn include weeds and pests. Some pests, such as honeybees and ladybugs, are beneficial for gardens. Others are harmful, such as insects that eat grass, leaves, and roots of plants. Weeds choke out the roots of your lawn and prevent the grass from absorbing the necessary nutrients. This limits healthy growth.
Changes in the weather can also harm lawns. Excessive rain can flood your yard, while dry spells dehydrate the grass. You may also be concerned about bare patches, often caused by items such as wading pools, picnic tables, and gardening tools—left on the lawn.
The Benefits Of A Lawn Fertilization And Weed Control Program
At the very least, healthy lawns look the best. Green grass can brighten a home and encourage time spent outdoors. Healthy grass is also good for the environment. Other plants and animals, mainly pollinator insects, benefit from healthy lawns.
Weed control, whether through manual pulling or the use of a product, allows grass to grow strong roots. Fertilization programs encourage lawns to develop more fully throughout the yard rather than in patches. And, as grass grows to be healthy, it begins to inhibit weed growth on its own. Eventually, as your lawn becomes healthier, it reaches a point of almost self-maintenance, where you only need to help with the basic steps of lawn care: mowing, watering, and some weeding.
