Much like your clothing or hairstyle, your lawn is one of the first things that people notice about your home. A beautifully manicured lawn ensures that they’ll notice your property. A poorly manicured lawn means they’ll notice the lawn. It makes a huge difference when you have guests over or invite loved ones into your home. But who has time to deal with everything that goes into creating the perfect lawn? If your answer is: “Not me,” then there’s an alternative. You can have the St. Charles lawn care specialists at Amco Ranger handle your landscaping and you won’t have to worry about looking up the right way to do things or how to handle specific problems. Below, we’ll discuss our services in more detail and discuss proper lawn care maintenance.
Lawn Fertilization
Some homeowners believe that all a lawn needs is sunlight and water, but the truth is, grass requires specific nutrients to be in the soil at all times for it to grow. These include nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Beautiful, lush lawns are those that are grown in nutrient-rich topsoil in the correct combination. The problem is that certain types of grass need specific combinations of nutrients in order to grow properly. Local growing conditions can also have an impact on how your grass looks. Amco Ranger applies botanical science to the process of maintaining your lawn and ensuring that your home stands out for all the right reasons.
The best manicured lawns, the ones that are the envy of every neighborhood, require constant vigilance against natural threats such as specific species of insect and invasive plants such as weeds. Once weeds get onto your lawn, they choke the life out of the foliage that you want there leaving patches of unsightly weeds and brown spots. There are a number of basic tips that you can follow to manage weeds, but you should be advised that weeds are tenacious and your lawn requires habitual upkeep. The St. Charles lawn care specialists at Amco Ranger can take the pressure off you and ensure your lawn looks beautiful year-round.
Seeding
When most homeowners think of seeding, they’re imagining dropping seeds on top of the brown spots on their lawn and waiting for the grass to fill itself in. Unfortunately, the process is more involved than that. You must first aerate the soil and then seed it. Then you must water the newly seeded soil religiously to repair dark patches in your lawn. Professional St. Charles lawn care specialists can handle this process for you and ensure that it is done correctly on the first try.
Aeration
Aeration is the process by which your soil is opened up to make it more available to your grass. You can’t lay seed on compressed or compacted topsoil because there will be no place for the seed to go. Aerating your soil protects the seed while it is in the process of sprouting. Aeration is also required prior to fertilizing your soil because you want to make specific soil nutrients available for the type of grass you’re growing. Finally, when grass has too much thatch buildup, aeration can improve the situation make it easier for grass to grow.
Dethatching
That’s is that layer of plant material that finds its way onto the surface of your soil. It makes it very difficult for fledgling plants to grow because it deprives them of sunlight. It prevents new growth in any area where there is too much of it and stops light, water, and soil nutrients from accessing the things grass needs to flourish.
Thatch is removed through a process of power raking which is something that most homeowners haven’t heard of don’t know how to do effectively. The St. Charles lawn care specialists at Amco Ranger can remove thatch to make your help your lawn grow beautiful and thick.
