Our top-notch services will always be here to help. Here are a few quick lawn restoration tips to help you bring back your lawn.
- Regulate amount of thatch in your lawn
Thatch is the build-up of living and dead plant matter in your lawn formed at the base of your grass and plants. For a healthy lawn, a little bit of thatch can help protect roots and provide nutrients for your lawn to live a healthy life. Having too much thatch can and will halt water, air, and nutrients from going where they need to go. You will need to focus on dethatching your lawn, contact us so we can help and give you our top-notch Sod Installation service.
2. Level the ground and fill in depressions
Doing this won’t only help your lawn grow evenly this will also reduce risk of accidents occurring when you or anyone is walking through your lawn. Depressions would require soil to be poured and dispersed evenly over it by using a rake or something that can spread it. Bumps will need to be leveled and the soil underneath will need to be rejuvenated with mulch and fertilizer.
3. Test the soil to see if it is healthy (optional)
Doing this lets you know that the soil is ready to use and is able to support the new grass being put in, if you are using our sod installation service we will make your lawn restoration easy, we would take it from here and install our already pre-grown grass so your lawn is immediately lush and fully grown without the awkward patches of dirt and half grown grass as you would get from other methods of grass seeding.
4. Add nutrients and introduce organic material
Adding nutrients is a lawn restoration practice that helps make your lawn healthy and provide a good staring point to keep it that way. You can do this through the use of fertilizer and mulch. Fertilizer would provide essential nutrients to your lawn and acts like a multivitamin would for a person. Mulching would provide a thin protective layer for your lawn and provide even more essential nutrients for your lawn. Just make sure not to use too much or else you can harm your lawn.
5. Aerate your lawn
Foot traffic, rain, even lawn maintenance can make your soil more compact creating a suffocating environment for your grass’ root and not allowing water, air, and nutrients to spread through your lawn. Using Aerator tools (such as machinery, sandals, or hand tools) can help increase airflow in your soil.
6. Prepare the surface and overseed it
Making sure that your lawn is even and you have the correct seed for your grass you can overseed and cover the soil that you put down. You need to spread it evenly in order to make your lawn seem full and lush. After all that is said and done your lawn restoration endeavors will end and the finished product will look even better than it was.
