If you’re a homeowner, you know how important it is to have a lush, beautiful lawn. It’s a welcoming space that can add value to your home and attract neighbors and friends.
But keeping it beautiful isn’t always easy. Thankfully, there are a variety of lawn care Idaho Falls services available to make the job easier.
Weed Control
Weeds are a real deal, and the good news is they aren’t as difficult to control as you might think. Most weeds can be banished with a single herbicide application, but some resistant perennials take multiple applications over several seasons to get the job done.
The best time to tackle weeds is early spring, when grass is just getting started. This is also the time to use a pre-emergent herbicide that will keep those pesky critters at bay for good.
We’ve got your lawn care needs covered with our patented lawn care program that delivers the most complete and effective weed control. We’ve incorporated it into our six-visit, premium lawn care program that covers the essentials: fertilization, irrigation, and weed control in one package. It’s a proven winning combination that will give your home the lush green lawn it deserves and keep it looking its best year round. The best part is, our team of lawn care experts will be there every step of the way.
Fertilization
A good-looking lawn needs sunlight, water and nutrients to stay healthy. Without these, it may shrivel up or turn brown. Luckily, Idaho Falls lawn fertilizer can provide those nutrients to the soil to keep your grass looking lush and green.
The process of fertilization, referred to as vegetative fertilization or generative fertilization, involves the fusion of gametes in plant and animal reproduction. In plant pollination, a grain of pollen travels down the stigma and reaches the micropyle within the ovule.
Once in the ovule, it forms a tube that can reach down through the zona pellucida (the membrane surrounding the egg) to the sperm cells inside. Once in contact with the sperm, the tube can penetrate the zona pellucida and begin the fertilization process.
In animals, a sperm combines with an egg nucleus in the ovule to form a single zygote, the primary nucleus of an embryo. Fertilization can also occur in fungi and protozoans, which do not have chromosomes.
Irrigation
Watering your lawn is an important part of keeping it healthy and green. It also helps prevent disease and other issues that can affect your yard.
Spring is the perfect time to begin irrigating your yard, especially if you have an automatic sprinkler system. Activate your system in mid- to late April, once the ground has thawed and the grass starts to grow.
Avoid watering your lawn too early, as this encourages shallow root growth. Typically, you can start watering your lawn once the grass reaches two inches tall.
If you’re unsure about how to go about establishing your own irrigation system, the pros at Grover Landscape & Design can help. We’ll install the most advanced sprinkler systems that offer the most efficient delivery of water to your lawn and plants. We’ll also perform sprinkler maintenance to ensure you get the most out of your new system and save money on your water bill.
Seeding
The lawn is your home’s first impression. So, it should be well cared for and maintained. A great lawn makes for a happy place to spend time outside, with family and friends.
It’s also an asset to your property and can improve its value if you want to sell it. The right lawn care service can provide a gorgeous, healthy, green yard that enhances the curb appeal of your home or commercial property.
Seeding is a key part of keeping your lawn looking healthy and lush. Lawns that are thin or bare should be overseeded with new grass seed to help them thicken up and become more dense for better grass coverage.
Grass seeds can be broadcast in the summer or fall for optimal results. Depending on your lawn’s needs, a combination of Kentucky bluegrass, fine fescue or ryegrass may be appropriate.
