By: Brentwood Landscapes Extreme drought and heat has damaged most lawns this summer. Even irrigated lawns have suffered. This is the best time of year to repair the damage to your lawn. Brentwood Landscapes offers a four-step plan designed to restore your lawn. Services include: (1) weed control, (2) core aeration, (3) overseeding, and (4) fertilization. Step 1 - Weed Control The first step to renovating the lawn is to remove unwanted weeds. These weeds may be either grassy weeds like crab grass and johnson grass, or they may be broadleaf weeds like clover or dandelion. It is important to control these weeds with a liquid spray application. This is usually done two weeks before overseeding. Step 2 - Aeration Over time a compacted lawn needs renovation. Compacted soil contributes to the accumulation of thatch because restricted oxygen levels in highly compacted soils impair the activity of earthworms and other thatch-decomposing organisms. Left unmanaged, thatch can lead to serious maintenance and pest problems. If soil is compacted, the solution is straightforward: Benefits of Aerating the Lawn: Loosens compacted soil and increases the availability of water and nutrients. Enhances oxygen levels in the soil, stimulating root growth and enhancing the activity of thatch-decomposing organisms. While removing cores of soil, the spoons or tines also sever roots, rhizomes and stolons. Grass plants are stimulated to produce new shoots and roots that "fill up" the holes in the lawn and increase the density of the turf. Reduces water runoff. Increases the lawn's drought tolerance and improves its overall health. Step 3 - Overseeding Aerating is usually combined with seeding, particularly on sparse or bare areas. Before Brentwood Landscapes overseeds a lawn, we make several passes over the area with the aerator machine, producing a number of holes, at least 4 inches apart. This will improve the appearance and density of the new stand of grass. With a fraction of the effort and expense of renovating the lawn from scratch, combining aerification with seeding will give the lawn a brand-new look by next spring. Step 4 - Fertilization The final step in Brentwood Landscapes' lawn care plan is to broadcast a low nitrogen starter fertilizer after the seeding process in completed. This process helps new grass seedlings get the proper measure of nutrients as it matures. Irrigation Services To keep a lawn and landscape thriving during hot and dry conditions is challenging. Plants require consistent watering, but rainfall is unpredictable during the summer. Your can protect your lawn and landscape investment by installing a fully automated irrigation system.
