Why Professional Weed Control is Essential for a Healthy Lawn
Professional Herbicide Use
Soil Testing
If soil isn’t properly cared for, it can quickly turn into a breeding ground for a variety of insects, pests, and algae. Each of these can cause damage to and promptly destroy landscaping arrangements and lawns. With a professional weed control service, the correct fertilizers and herbicides can be applied to your property to take care of the problem right away. Many home and business owners try to use standard topical herbicides that aren’t effective for getting rid of insects, pests, and algae, in turn, making the issue worse over time. Professional weed control services also have access to organic products that take care of any problems quickly and aren’t as harmful to your property and environment.
Increase Organic Matter Levels
Soil naturally contains organic matter , which provides the optimal environment for trees, bushes, and other plant life to grow efficiently and correctly. There are instances where certain areas of the United States have less natural organic matter present in the soil, resulting in stunted and ineffective growth. Professional weed control services can test your soil for a variety of properties to verify it is of optimal consistency. These properties can include:
Checking for these items allows professional weed control services to provide maintenance routines to raise organic matter levels to improve the quality of soil and stimulate growth. Having professionals complete this procedure will help prevent further disruption of the environment and ecological system and drastically improve the overall appearance of your property.
Weeds Kill Healthy Grass
Across the United States, there are popular grass types for each region; in Minnesota, particularly these grasses consist of Fine Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, and Perennial Ryegrass. If your property has an excessive amount of weeds, the weeds can quickly diminish and prevent common grasses from growing and reaching their optimal health. However, professional weed control services can perform proper maintenance to prevent and destroy weeds, which encourages your property to continue growing without weeds and contaminants.
Efficient Cutting and Trimming
Professional weed control services don’t just focus on destroying and preventing weeds.

Certain fertilizers and weed control sprays can raise the level of acidity in your lawn resulting in root damage and an improper environment for optimal growth. If acidity is high in your yard, weeds can also thrive and take over. Professional weed control services have safe but effective sprays that prevent weed growth and improve the appearance of your lawn. It’s important to remember that many of these sprays aren’t available in the consumer market, so hiring professional services can be extremely beneficial.

Some people like to use the phrase "nature is healing." However, in some cases, nature can't heal itself alone. That's where we come in. Recently, a homeowner in Maple Grove, Minnesota reached out to KG Landscape after struggling to revitalize a back yard that was simply failing to thrive. Despite what seemed like ample sunlight and water, the turf suffered from numerous thin and bare patches that refused to improve. To determine exactly why they couldn't get this yard to flourish on its own, our client asked us to assess the yard and determine a plan that could reinstate the lush green lawn they expected for their Maple Grove home.
Seldom will you find a piece of landscaping less desirable than the unintentional water feature. That's why a recent client in St. Paul, Minnesota's Macalester-Groveland neighborhood reached out to KG Landscape. Poor drainage in their yard had begun to allow standing water to accumulate, which not only damaged the lawn but was also beginning to make its way into the home's foundation. Our assignment was to determine why this water was pooling where it was, then find a way to divert it to a safer outlet. In order to do so and to improve the health of this St. Paul lawn, our team developed a system of catch basins and underground drain pipes to capture and redirect rainwater. Additionally, we restored the damage standing water had done to the lawn with a full topdressing treatment combined with seed blankets in the most critical areas of the lawn. Upon completing the project, we successfully resolved the yard's drainage issues while also bolstering the health of the lawn.
