The Best Time to Begin Lawn Care Services
The construction of a new home involves many issues related to the lawn and landscape. The best time to enlist the services of a Cary, NC, lawn care professional is long before the first blade of grass emerges from the soil.
Start with Site Selection
In North and South Carolina, many subdivisions were built on land that once grew tobacco, apples, pecans, peaches, cotton, soybeans, and corn. Farmland converted to a lawn has its own challenges that a builder or landscape architect might not be aware of. The county extension agent may have some knowledge of the challenges of growing a lawn on a former field. It is more likely that the local lawn care professional who has treated hundreds of yards in the area has the knowledge and experience to produce a gorgeous lawn on land that was depleted by the cultivation of the same crops for generations.
Site Preparation
Soil types, composition, and texture may have a bearing on the amendments added to the soil to make it seed-friendly. The early stages of seed growth are crucial for a fast path to a great lawn.
Other issues where input from a lawn care expert is critical include grading, pre-and post-seeding lawn treatment, seed selection, seed application, and drainage. A lawn care professional will pay special attention to the mix of sunlight and shade that areas of the lawn receive from the treescape. Trees with roots that grow near the surface, such as maple trees, affect ground moisture, fertilization, pest control, and mold control. A large oak tree with a towering canopy that filters out sunlight and an extensive root system that drains the soil of moisture and nutrients presents a multi-faceted challenge the professionals at Lawn Doctor of Cary-Apex overcome on a regular basis.
The Bigger Picture
Skilled lawn care professionals will consider the larger landscape master plan, which may include flower beds, groundcovers, gardens, shrubs, ornamental trees such as the Japanese maple, and fruit trees. If a home has an irrigation system, the lawn care specialist will take notice of zone locations, sprinkler heads, and water distribution and make recommendations to the installation company to prevent both overwatering and underwatering. The lawn care specialist can also make recommendations to the landscape lighting designer regarding color temperatures that accentuate the lawn.
Outside Influences: The Neighbors’ Yard
The trained eye of a seasoned lawn care professional will take note of issues in neighboring lawns. Fungi, mold, and a weed control issue in a property several doors upwind and upstream of drainage will make their way into other yards. Adjacent yards tell a story and give clues as to what issues treatments must anticipate. This proactive approach keeps the lawn looking its best. Lawn care is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Lawn Doctor customizes treatments to meet the needs of each customer’s yard. By having a lawn care services professional work in cooperation with the builder and the landscape architect, the landscape master plan can incorporate lawn care soil analyses, site preparation recommendations, soil preparation, seeding, fertilization, and treatments that provide the ideal conditions for the establishment of a healthy, vigorous lawn.
