Investing in Consistent Lawn Care Is the Best Way to Prevent Lawn Diseases

Lawn diseases are something you don't want to find on your turf. When it comes to tackling these damage-causing diseases, the best offense is a good defense. This means investing in a good, consistent lawn care regimen to equip your grass in South Dakota with everything it needs to naturally fight off lawn diseases! Fertilization provides your grass with essential nutrients that will strengthen it, while weed control treatments eliminate pesky weeds that would steal that nourishment and other resources for themselves. Meanwhile, aeration promotes a better flow of nutrients, water, air, and sunlight so they can reach the roots of your grass. These lawn care services will maintain the tip-top health of your grass and build up its resistance against troublesome turf diseases.

Fertilization Helps Strengthen Your Lawn to Better Resist Lawn Diseases

An unhealthy, weak lawn is more susceptible to lawn diseases. That's why fertilization plays a crucial role in preventing lawn diseases! Lawn fertilization treatments provide your grass with essential nutrients that bolster its health and build its resilience. When it has a steady supply of nourishment to feed off of, it will grow strong and develop more robust roots that will allow it to better resist lawn diseases. However, fertilization is not a one-and-done service. Throughout the year, your turf must consistently receive these nourishing treatments to stay in optimal health and ensure it can fend off any potential stressors, including lawn diseases.

Weed control treatments will ensure your grass doesn't become weaker and a target for lawn diseases.

Weeds are more than just an eyesore on your turf. These unwanted plants, just like any other, require nutrients and other resources to grow. Unfortunately, weeds obtain nutrients, sunlight, and water by stealing them from your lawn, weakening and leaving it vulnerable to lawn diseases. You need to invest in weed control treatments to eliminate weeds and ensure your grass can maximize vital resources that will give it strength to fight off lawn diseases.

For the best results, you want to take advantage of a weed control program that utilizes pre- and post-emergent treatments. Pre-emergent weed control treatments prevent weeds from emerging, while post-emergents eliminate existing growth on your lawn. A weed control program will involve multiple treatments throughout the year so you can rest easy knowing weeds have no opportunity of ever stealing nutrients from your grass again.

Aeration will improve nutrient access to your lawn's roots, making it strong enough to fight off diseases.

Daily foot and machinery traffic, like lawn mowers, can result in soil compaction. When your soil is compacted, your lawn will have trouble accessing nutrients and other vital resources that help ensure it stays strong enough to fight off turf diseases. Fortunately, aeration will help! This lawn care service involves pulling up cores of soil to loosen compaction and open up channels where nutrients, water, air, and sunlight can pass through to reach the roots of your grass. Aeration should be done every year, as it will improve your lawn's nutrient uptake and help it develop a strong root system, building up its resistance to lawn diseases.
