If you’re like us and you love your lawn, you want to learn the best tips and tricks to care for it. We’ve created seven Lawn Care Academy videos to teach you about important topics like soil compaction, balanced pH, how to choose the right grass seed, weed control, and fertilizer. At Jonathan Green, we believe that it is equally important to feed the lawn and the soil. That’s why our Lawn Care Academy explains the importance of not just fertilizing your lawn but also checking for signs of compaction, and measuring your pH.

Healthy soil is the foundation for all great lawns. Your soil must be free of compaction, possess healthy microbial populations, and have the correct pH in order for it to thrive. The same way a garden needs rich, healthy soil for flowers and vegetables to grow, grass plants are no different. When your soil is loose and porous with a balanced pH, your grass becomes more insect and disease resistant and can outcompete weeds.
