Soil-tested lawn treatment in Millville
Lawns in Millville need watering and aeration matched to the ground under them. Within a few blocks, that ground can change from foothill gravel to valley soil.
The ground in Millville
Millville sits on the southeast side of the valley. The foothills come down to the valley floor here. Homes higher up sit on stony bench soil. Homes lower down sit on finer valley soil that holds water longer.
Lawn problems we look for in Millville
Broadleaf weeds that come back
Broadleaf weeds often come back after a single spring treatment. We treat the whole lawn for weeds in May. We treat again in August because broadleaf weeds pull treatment into their roots in late summer and fall. We use spot treatment on the other visits for weeds that show up.
Iron the soil holds back
Because Millville soil is alkaline, it often locks up iron. Grass that is short on iron turns yellow-green. Our June visit adds liquid iron to the feed. The green from each dose fades after several weeks, so Complete Lawn and Pest adds iron at four more visits.
Bench and valley soil in one town
Bench lawns and valley-floor lawns can need opposite things. Water bench lawns less often and for longer because bench soil drains fast. Valley soil holds water and can pack down. Where valley soil has packed, core aeration loosens the soil. We read compaction on site and get your soil texture from your soil report.
We feed your Millville lawn at all six visits and treat the whole lawn for weeds in May and August
