When spring and summer are in the rear-view mirror, your battle with weeds isn’t over if you live in Alpharetta or elsewhere in Metro Atlanta. Winter can be a sneaky breeding ground for another group of unwanted plants that can take over when turfgrass is dormant. If you think your lawn is exempt from weeds until spring, know it isn’t. But don’t worry. The Alpharetta lawn care experts at got lawn? can deal with the weeds on your property all year long and guard your lawn against the winter creep.
Our Alpharetta lawn care pros get to know the soil in your yard.
A healthy lawn requires soil that provides food in the form of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. When your soil provides more of what your turfgrass needs and less of what weeds need, the result is more grass and fewer weeds. Our Alpharetta lawn care team will test the pH balance of your soil and provide the correct fertilizers as needed. This is particularly important heading into winter.
Our team stops weeds from growing.
There are products that work to deter weeds from germinating. Selecting and applying the correct products requires knowledge. Our lawn care professionals have the necessary training and experience to deal with weeds in Georgia lawns. We determine what is needed based on your grass type, common weeds in our area, and the weeds attacking your lawn. We also get a headstart on spring weeds by applying pre-emergent weed control in late fall.
We deal with weeds that take root.
Some weeds are pernicious. They find ways to take root, particularly when you’re new to professional lawn care service and your lawn is recovering. Lawn care isn’t an overnight solution. Ongoing maintenance is required to restore a lawn and maintain its healthy vibrance. So, what do we do about pernicious weeds? We apply post-emergent weed control to stop them in their tracks.
We bolster your lawn’s defenses.
A healthy and full lawn is resistant to weeds. Our Alpharetta lawn care specialists apply appropriate grass seeds to your lawn before and after winter. In the fall, we may apply cool-season grass, a robust grass that doesn’t go dormant in winter. We may also apply more warm-season grass to fill in thinning areas. What your lawn care professional applies will depend on your lawn’s specific needs.
We deal with tricky problems.
Some lawn issues that can lead to weed problems are not obvious. Two examples are compacted soil and a thick thatch layer. Both of these issues prevent water, air, and nutrients from reaching the roots of your grass. When this is an issue, aeration is a great solution.
If you notice that water sits on the soil in your yard, this is a sign that your lawn may need this service. We use liquid aeration to improve soil structure and help with water drainage and nutrient absorption. Aeration is not performed in winter. But this lawn care service is an essential step during the year to help your lawn stay healthy through the winter months.
