Having a nice healthy lawn isn’t just for looks, it truly has important benefits. Because a lawn completely covers a soil surface, soil particles are prevented from blowing around and being carried to another area. During the active growing season, it is estimated that a healthy lawn area of 25 square feet will provide enough oxygen for one adult person for one day. In addition to lawns capturing particles that are released into the air, a thick and healthy lawn can also capture pollutants from stormwater runoff and prevent them from ending up in the sewer system. A lawn with many miles of fibrous roots can also help to hold soil in place and prevent erosion. Lawns also act as natural air conditioners. Lawns are much cooler than hardscaping. In fact estimates show that on a hot summer day, lawns are as much as 30 degrees cooler than blacktop.
Lawns act as a stage for some of life’s best memories. Whether it’s playing catch with your children, having barefoot races in the grass, having a picnic with your loved one, or even just rolling around with your dog, most families do use their yard as a hosting spot for different meaningful activities. For some people their lawn gives them a place to escape. As we all know, life can be stressful, work can be hard, schedules are jam packed, and it feels like we are always on the go. But a lawn, especially a healthy beautiful lawn, can become a place to escape all the hustle and bustle of the world and just sit in the shade and read a book. For your quiet peaceful lawn you can search Collinsville Lawn Care.
Did you know that a healthy lawn also increases the value of your home? A thick thriving lawn makes your home look even more appealing. Whether it’s a younger married couple with children, envisioning all the children’s parties they can host, or an older couple thinking how great it would be to sit on their porch swing drinking coffee and watching all the squirrels and birds on their lawn, having a lawn that was well taken care of may just be the deciding factor for someone when searching for their new home. In order to achieve these results, it is recommended to utilize professionals with professional high quality premium products. When you search for Collinsville Lawn Care, that is exactly what you will get with Platinum Pest & Lawn.
When you search Collinsville Lawn Care, you will find Platinum Pest & Lawn, where we provide an affordable 7 step program for your lawn. We start with the first step in January and provide the last step in November. This ensures your lawn is getting everything it needs throughout the year. We start off with a pre-emergent and a post-emergent application. It is nearly impossible to get rid of weeds in your yard completely. Weed seeds can lay dormant for years and survive almost anything thrown at them. At the first chance they get, they will germinate and take over your entire lawn. Pre-emergents stop the seeds growth after germinating so that weeds won’t establish in your yard. Pre-emergents contain different properties that prevent weed seeds from growing after they germinate. Different properties also inhibit the growth of various target weeds. So most pre-emergent products contain multiple properties to target a broad spectrum of weed types. The pre-emergents disrupt the cell division in monocot and dicot seedlings which are the one and two leaf plant embryos. Once a seed germinates, the pre-emergent prevents it from developing roots. For best results the pre-emergent is applied to the root zone, which is the top 2 to 3 inches of soil where most weed seeds germinate. When applied properly, the pre-emergents will create a barrier between the soil and the surface. This then will prevent the weeds from breaking through and becoming established. The post-emergent application attacks weeds after they have already germinated. This is applied directly to the leaves or stems of plants that are already growing. The purpose of using the post-emergent is to selectively or non-selectively target and kill unwanted weeds, while minimizing any harm to desirable plants. This can be done via sprays, granules, or liquids, depending on the specific product and application method. This treatment will interfere with the normal growth and development of weeds. It will disrupt essential biological processes in the plant, such as photosynthesis. This will then lead to the death of the weed.
Another part of the 7 step program is the Fertilizer. The soil supplies turfgrass with some essential nutrients, but most soils can’t provide everything your lawn needs throughout the whole growing season. An actively growing lawn uses a great amount of energy from these nutrients. Lawn fertilizer helps your grass stay healthy by promoting new leaf and root growth, aiding in recovery from foot traffic and pest damage, reducing and controlling weeds, and replacing nutrients lost to leaching, volatilization and grass clipping removal. All in all when you search for Collinsville Lawn Care, Platinum Pest & Lawn will fertilize your lawn to make it grow thicker, add color, and to choke out other weeds that try to germinate and will keep an overall healthy and beautiful lawn. Our goal for all of our lawn customers is to be able to rate their lawn a 10 on a scale of 1-10, and to be able to utilize their entire yard whenever they want during any season.
