Guardian of the Green: What Lawn Spray Can Do for You

You see them all over TV, hear about them from your green-thumbed neighbor, and know you need to have a bottle or two in your garage — but what is lawn spray and what can it do for you? The answer is somewhat complicated, but in today’s post we are going to go over some general information about lawn spray and highlight some of the ways it can help you keep a healthy, lush lawn. If you are looking for expert lawn care services in Memphis, get in touch with Personal Lawn Care today!

What’s in Lawn Spray?

Let’s clear up a common misconception right-up-top, lawn spray is not an excessively toxic mixture of chemicals that can harm your grass. In fact, most lawn sprays are almost entirely water, with a small mixture of fertilizers, insecticides and herbicides added in.

How Does Lawn Spray Work?

Once you spray your lawn, the process is natural and pretty cool (at least we think so). Each blade of grass that is coated with the lawn spray acts as a carrier for the fertilizer, pesticides, and insecticides found in the spray. Next time you mow your lawn, the coated blades of grass fall into the lawn and are composted by the soil — delivering all of the rich nutrients and helpful additives that your grass needs to thrive.

Lawn Spray Protects Your Lawn

As discussed above, the fertilizer found in lawn spray is delivered organically when each blade of grass falls, giving your lawn the nutrients it needs to grow, withstand extreme temperatures, fend off disease, and more. The insecticides found in lawn spray also help keep pests away, but unlike the other additives in the spray, you don’t have to wait for the blades of grass to fall for these chemicals to start working. Insecticides immediately reduce the amount of insects lurking in your grass, and their effects continue after the composting process.

Lawn Spray Treats and Prevents Weeds

Proper lawn spray also includes weed control treatments that help prevent unsightly breakouts. However, whether or not your weed problem can be addressed by a general lawn spray is completely situational. If you are experiencing stubborn or aggressive weeds, you need to speak with Personal Lawn Care about our weed control services. Our experts will assess your weed problem and come up with a personalized solution that fits the unique needs of your lawn. Get in touch with us today to schedule an estimate!

Lawn Spray is an essential tool for those who want to keep their grass healthy and green all year long. However, choosing the right lawn spray is difficult unless you have an in-depth understanding of grass, fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, and more. Applying that lawn spray correctly is another issue, altogether. Unless you are a “guru of the green,” you should contact Personal Lawn Care to learn more about how our lawn spray services can help you.
