Factors That Can Damage Trees And Shrubs On Your Canton Property

Many factors can damage the trees and shrubs on your Canton property, but here are some common ones.

First, we experience various weather conditions, some more severe than others. Storms, strong winds, and more can lead to problems like broken branches and uprooted trees.

Also, there is no shortage of pests and diseases like insects and bacterial infections that can weaken or kill your plants if left untreated. We can help you eliminate Japanese beetles and many other local invaders swiftly.

Another issue is improper pruning or trimming because over-pruning or doing it at the wrong time of year can lead to stress, diseases, and other issues. Similarly, planting your vegetation too deep, watering inadequately, and improper fertilization can hinder growth and development.

And finally, let's not forget environmental factors like pollution, excessive heat, and more. The best way to protect your trees and shrubs is with regular care, pest monitoring, and more.

Core Aeration Breathes New Life Into Canton Lawns

Core aeration can be an invaluable practice to breathe new life into your yard. This process involves removing small plugs of soil from the lawn to create channels for air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the root zone.

Here are some reasons you might want to look into core aeration:

• It can mitigate heavy rainfall and high temperatures: Harsh weather conditions can lead to soil compaction over time, restricting the movement of air and water to the roots of the grass. Lawn aeration can better allow oxygen to reach the root system, promoting healthier and more vigorous plant growth.
• It enhances water and nutrient absorption: The channels allow water to penetrate deeply into the soil, reducing surface runoff and promoting more efficient water use. In turn, it facilitates nutrient uptake so the grass receives essential elements to grow green and verdant.
• Core aeration helps break up thatch accumulation: Thatch is a layer of dead grass stems and roots that accumulate on the soil surface. Excessive amounts can create an environment favorable for pests and diseases. Aeration is essential to thorough lawn dethatching.

Incorporating core aeration into your lawn care strategy can revitalize your lawn, improve soil health, and promote more robust and vibrant grass growth. Call us today to find out if it is suitable for your property.

How Seasonal Weed & Crabgrass Control Can Fortify Canton Lawns

Seasonal weed and crabgrass control is an essential part of lawn maintenance that is beneficial in many ways:

• It prevents weed competition: Weeds like dandelions and chickweed can take over quickly and compete with desirable grass for nutrients, water, and sunlight. But with our seasonal weed control strategies, we can prevent weed seeds from germinating and target existing weeds.
• It controls crabgrass infestation: Crabgrass is a particularly invasive weed species. It thrives in our climate and snowballs, outcompeting desirable grass types and forming unsightly patches. Our liquid pre-emergent crabgrass applied at strategic times of the year can curb its growth effectively.
• It makes your property more eye-catching: A well-maintained and weed-free lawn is a great way to make it lush and uniform for optimal curb appeal.

Weeds like crabgrass can negatively impact the health of the grass on your property by competing for resources and more. Still, you can protect it from unsightly invaders with seasonal weed and crabgrass control.
