Getting Ready For Spring season

 

Just like animals, there is a variety of weeds that are dormant during the winter, and they’re just beneath the surface waiting for spring’s wonderful temperatures.

 


 

Here in Sanford, NC, we have a wide variety of them, for example, Common Dandelion, Large Crabgrass, Ragweed, Carolina Geranium, Goose-grass; just to mention few. And, while they are on the ground waiting to show a proud face — when you first step out in the yard — you should be getting ready too with lawn care services.

 

As soil temperatures warm consistently and moisture is present, the millions of weed seeds in your lawn have their opportunity to start growing during early Spring. Perhaps an easier way than getting soil temperatures from the soil is to be on the lookout for your flowering trees and shrubs to begin to bloom. 

 

Often, when soil temperatures begin to rise to adequate levels for weeds to even think about germination, flowering trees such as pears are in FULL blossom. If nothing is impeding their development, then you’ll soon have a big crop of weeds emerging. That’s the right time to provide some Pre-emergent weed treatment.

 


 

We are a Lawn Care Service Company near you!

 

Lawn care companies in Sanford can provide Pre-emergent applications that create a layer of protection to stop these weeds. As the germinating seed comes in contact with the material, it stops developing. This works in the majority of areas that have average to dense turfgrass. When to apply Pre-emergent is just one of the many questions we receive on a daily basis at Green Garden. 

 

Your certified, trained lawn care technician is here to answer all of the questions you have and will work with you one-on-one to help you get the best looking lawn on your block. Green Garden not only provides lawn mowing but prides itself on communicating with you after each application, making you aware of how your lawns overall health is, providing valuable feedback, and giving you timely instructions. 

 


 

Green Garden Landscaping uses Prodamine, which is the best Pre-emergent in the industry, providing great control before and shortly after any germination. This is why it is important to enlist a lawn care company near you that provides a lawn maintenance program with Pre and Post-emergent applications to spot-spray these areas before they can get out of control.

 

The combination of weed control and the right type of fertilizer will make that your lawn receives the right nutrients to stop any kind of weed competition during the growing season.

 

It’s important to water your lawn on a regular basis but most important its give it some spring lawn care to have a beautiful and healthy lawn for the rest of the year.
