Professional Lawn Care Services in Plantation, FL

Nothing embodies a healthy landscape quite like strong, beautiful, rich-green grass. It’s the first thing you and your visitors see upon arrival, the test that conveys not only the beauty of the lawn but the very personality of the business that calls it “home.” Grass can do a lot—but how does it maintain that lush green, healthy hue? As it turns out, there are several key components that point to healthy grass. In today’s blog, read on as we explore five of them. Healthy, limited amounts of fertilizer As is the case with flowers and other types of plants, the temptation to over-fertilize can be tempting when it comes to your lawn. But in reality, your grass might not need quite as much as you think—in fact, an overage of nitrogen fertilizer can seep into the ground and affect the ecosystem’s native freshwater aquifer. Help promote the water’s health, as well as that of your lawn, by using fertilizer as a sort of building block for grass that’s already in the process of growing. Careful scheduling Speaking of scheduling—grass goes through natural stages of growth and non-growth, or dormancy. These stages are determined by weather, time of year, moisture (or lack thereof) and more. Knowing how to recognize when the growth slows or comes to a stop can help you and your landscaper decide when to fertilize, water, or simply let the grass go through its dormancy.
