Why Professional Weed Control is Essential for a Healthy Lawn

Professional Herbicide Use

Home and business owners that don’t have professional weed control services tend to rely on weed control products purchased from home improvement stores, many of these individuals are unsure of how much to use as well as the proper type to buy. Certain pesticides and herbicides are only available at a commercial level, meaning deciding to hire professional weed control services for your property is an excellent decision. These companies have access to different products and knowledge that the regular day to day individual doesn’t regarding these processes and products. Certain pesticides and herbicides are harmful to the environment and shouldn’t be applied unless under extreme caution.

Soil Testing

If soil isn’t properly cared for, it can quickly turn into a breeding ground for a variety of insects, pests, and algae. Each of these can cause damage to and promptly destroy landscaping arrangements and lawns. With a professional weed control service, the correct fertilizers and herbicides can be applied to your property to take care of the problem right away. Many home and business owners try to use standard topical herbicides that aren’t effective for getting rid of insects, pests, and algae, in turn, making the issue worse over time. Professional weed control services also have access to organic products that take care of any problems quickly and aren’t as harmful to your property and environment.

Increase Organic Matter Levels

 

Soil naturally contains organic matter , which provides the optimal environment for trees, bushes, and other plant life to grow efficiently and correctly. There are instances where certain areas of the United States have less natural organic matter present in the soil, resulting in stunted and ineffective growth. Professional weed control services can test your soil for a variety of properties to verify it is of optimal consistency. These properties can include:

 

  • pH balance
  • Organic matter levels
  • Nutrient deficiencies
  • Toxicities
  • Mineral levels

Checking for these items allows professional weed control services to provide maintenance routines to raise organic matter levels to improve the quality of soil and stimulate growth. Having professionals complete this procedure will help prevent further disruption of the environment and ecological system and drastically improve the overall appearance of your property.

Weeds Kill Healthy Grass

Across the United States, there are popular grass types for each region; in Minnesota, particularly these grasses consist of Fine Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, and Perennial Ryegrass. If your property has an excessive amount of weeds, the weeds can quickly diminish and prevent common grasses from growing and reaching their optimal health. However, professional weed control services can perform proper maintenance to prevent and destroy weeds, which encourages your property to continue growing without weeds and contaminants.

Efficient Cutting and Trimming

Professional weed control services don’t just focus on destroying and preventing weeds. Many property owners are unaware that proper grass maintenance also contributes to the presence of weeds in your lawn. Since grass types vary, there are separate cutting lengths that encourage an adequate growth pattern, and if grasses are cut at the wrong height, this growth pattern can be harmed. Professional weed control companies can adequately assess your lawn and identify the type of grass. With this information, these individuals can cut and trim your lawn correctly while preventing the growth of weeds. Doing so will encourage a healthy lawn, in turn, adding to the overall curb appeal of your property.

Harmless and Effective Spray Use

 

Every lawn has a specific pH level that prevents soil contamination, encourages optimal grass and plant health, and prevents weeds. Certain fertilizers and weed control sprays can raise the level of acidity in your lawn resulting in root damage and an improper environment for optimal growth. If acidity is high in your yard, weeds can also thrive and take over. Professional weed control services have safe but effective sprays that prevent weed growth and improve the appearance of your lawn. It’s important to remember that many of these sprays aren’t available in the consumer market, so hiring professional services can be extremely beneficial. The use of proper sprays will prevent damage to greenery, flowers, and other plant life arrangements included in your landscaping.

 

Professional Edging
