KEEPING A GREEN AND HEALTHY LAWN

BY NATHANIEL LOOMIS

Zachary Holbrook founded Green Castle Lawn Care and Pest Control in 1999, forming its roots right in Weber County. They now provide services from Davis to Box Elder with a long history of satisfied customers. There’s a science that goes into keeping grass healthy from root to tip, and they’ve got it down to an art form.

A healthy lawn needs more than just watering and mowing, especially in Utah’s dry climate. Although regular trims and appropriate watering are critical, proper fertilization, weed control, and aeration are just as important. Combining these things will ensure optimal performance for your lawn.

Zach also recommends regularly checking and maintaining your lawn’s pH levels. Utah soils and waters tend to be higher in pH levels, usually 7.5 or higher. Ideally, the pH level of your lawn should be around 7 for optimal turf performance. Regular soil testing and pH management can also help keep your lawn healthy by preventing necrotic ring spot as well as other soil-borne diseases commonly found in Utah.

Green Castle has reasonably priced services for these issues and more. They’ve been in business for over two decades with good reason—they know how to keep a yard green and healthy. If you want to see your lawn flourish, regardless of where in their service area you live, they have the experience and expertise needed to make it happen!
