Lawn maintenance

The Nutrite professionals are specialized in the care of green spaces. They are sensitive to enviromnental protection and are responding more and more to the challenge through an integrated environemental approach. This approach is based on preventative cultivation practices with the goal of reducing pesticide use. Indeed, these cultivation practices aim at maintaining a balanced and dynamic ecosystem. This practice also favours the proliferation of beneficial microorganisms at the expense of undesirable ones.

The six most important cultivation practices for home lawns are:

1. Proper mowing.
2. Deep soil aeration.
3. Dethatching.
4. Liming to neutralize soil acidity.
5. Proper, but not excessive watering.
6. Balanced fertilization.

These practices allow for better soil structure and better physical properties such as:

- Enhanced water infiltration and retention
- Enhanced gas exchange within the soil.

Deep dense roots can then develop, allowing for optimum nutrient uptake. Result: a lawn that is full of vigour, less vulnerable to diseases, insect pests, temperature extremes and weed encroachment.
