We build, so you dont have to.Knowing how to take care of your new lawn will save you time, money and backbreaking labor down the road.
1. Choose a variety of seed that will thrive in your conditions. Don't buy the cheapest. You will pay more for the right seed later.
2. New lawns often lack nutrients in the soil. A soil test by your local garden center could help you treat your lawn at the root level. Large doses of organic fertilizer and water should start you off on the right foot.
3. Avoid pesticides in a lawn's early stages. This allows microorganisms and earthworms to proliferate, which helps root systems.
4. Avoid pre-emergent weed control in the spring. Pre-emergents stop ALL seeds from germinating, including grass seed as well as weeds. This is a common mistake.
5. Use a post-emergent weed control (preferably liquid). This should control weeds while allowing grass to grow unstunted.
