Plan Your Lawn Repair

8/15/2021

6 Comments

 
The very best time to repair and strengthen your lawns each year is the fall season, and specifically September 1 to October 31.  During those months the weather is cooling from summer and the soil retains more moisture, two conditions that grass seedings appreciate.  Also the major weed surges of summer are waning which makes more room for desired grass roots to grow and spread. 

The basic lawn repair service includes aeration, seeding and fertilizing. This is a routine service for all of our Lawn Care accounts and standard for anybody that is serious about having a great lawn. Aeration loosens the soil and accelerates the growth of the current lawn as well as new seed. Seed will fill in bare and damaged areas while adding new young grass to the entire lawn. Grass, like all living things, has a life span and new seed keeps the lawn young and healthy. It is worth noting that while this is the basic service, doing it correctly is not simple, as the timing, order of operations and amount are all variables that contribute to the final result. 

The other end of the lawn repair spectrum is a full rebuild. There are situations where a lawn needs to start from scratch. Some reasons include extreme weed pressure, very poor soil, or unsustainable terrain structure.  This rebuild process then adds a custom combination of - removing all current weeds and grass, amending the soil for structure and nutrients, smoothing or filling uneven areas. Then aeration, correct seed blends and fertilizer can follow. 

This can be a complicated process for some homeowners.  Knowing what is and what is not needed and then planning and executing the work is where Jon's Lawns of Annapolis excels.

Below is a photo showing the beginning of a rebuild from October 2020. All weeds and grass were killed and removed. Wood chips from stump grinding were removed and top soil was added.  In the photo the lawn had just been aerated and seeded.

You can expect a full lawn to have grown in within 3-4 weeks following a bare dirt rebuild. Here is a picture of the same lawn in August 2021, with proper mowing and irrigation practices in place, our fellow Annapolitan has a wonderful lawn to enjoy.

It stood out to me when you explained that seeding and aeration are included in basic lawn care. As far as I know, you need to have a specific machine in order to do aeration. It seems like hiring a landscaping company would be the best thing to do if you are in need of aeration services.

When repairing your lawn, it is important to take into account the type of grass you have, the amount of sunlight and water your lawn gets, and the type of soil you have. It is also important to create a plan that includes when you will repair your lawn, how you will repair your lawn, and what materials you will need. Excellent explanation, simple and to the point. Thanks.

I'm glad that you talked that proper planning should be implemented to execute the lawn treatment efficiently. My uncle mentioned to me last night that he was planning to have a lawn aeration treatment to transform their garden into a healthy landscape project. He asked if I had any idea what would be the best option to consider. Thanks to this informative article, I'll tell him it will be much better if he consults a trusted lawn aeration treatment service as they can provide information about their services.
