Renovation is a simple way of transforming an unattractive landscape into something spectacular. By eliminating weeds and undesirable grasses, while introducing quality seed varieties, this cost-effective procedure provides a thick, green lawn. With proper care and maintenance, it is a lawn that will be a source of pride for many years to come.
A beautiful lawn is not only a valuable place to spend time with family and friends. Its one of the first things people notice when they arrive to your home. Lawns need renovation just like older homes. Over the years, an established lawn can deteriorate from drought, insect damage, thatch build up, compaction, poor soil conditions or a combination of any of these factors. Renovation or seeding in the fall can be the best defense against these problems and undesired grasses
Through renovation we can replace the worn out grass in your lawn with a new stand of dense, healthy turf. By seeding improved grass varieties into what is already there, your property is improved without the inconvenience and expense of creating a whole new lawn.
HOW IT WORKS:
First we may need to apply a herbicide to your lawn to eliminate the undesirable grasses and weeds. The product we use has no residual soil activity and will not leach into any areas adjacent to your lawn. In some situations, this application is not necessary and the actual seeding process can begin right away. Either way, well be sure to let you know exactly what were going to do before we begin. And of course will tell you about how long the renovation process will take. If the pH of your soil is too low or too high, we can apply lime application to correct the situation. This will allow the new grass plants to better utilize the nutrients provided by fertilizer and also those that exist naturally in the soil.
Next.. well us a piece of equipment specifically designed for renovating lawns to slice the soil and establish a seedbed. This process allows the seed to make direct contact with the soil s proper germination can occur. Seeding will also take place at this time. Well use improved, turf type varieties chose to meet the conditions of your property. Whether your lawn receives full sun, is quite shady or offers a little bit of each, well make sure the seed is right for the situation. Selecting the seed is an important part of the lawn renovation process and you can rest assured well do the job right.
To encourage germination and insure a healthy start for the seedling turf, well apply what is known as a starter fertilizer. This type of fertilizer is formulated specifically for newly seeded areas and contains just the right balance of nutrients for young grass plants.
Then it will be time for the most important step of all. WATER. Your lawn renovation will be successful only if the area is properly and consistently watered for two to three weeks following seeding.
Finally its just a matter of watching the grass plants emerge and the new lawn take shape. You will see continuous development and improvement over a period of about four to five months. Once the lawn is established, it is very important to maintain it correctly. Proper mowing and fertilization, along with weed and insect control are vital for a healthy lawn. It will also ensure you have a lawn as GREEN as your neighbors envy.
