STEPS TO INSTALLING A NEW LAWN
Before starting a new lawn installation project, make sure you have a watering hose and nozzle at the ready
Step 1: Prepare the seedbed with a rotary tiller. Take time to prepare the soil thoroughly to a depth of about 6″. If the soil is compacted, mix in peat moss or gypsum to keep it loose. This will help the roots of the new grass to survive.
Step 2: Rake the seedbed thoroughly and remove all stones, sticks, etc. Break up all dirt clods so the new seed will have a good chance to grow.
Step 3: Reseed the area with a mechanical seed spreader. Reseed at the rate recommended on the package of seed you are using. In most cases, no raking is required after seeding, although certain types of seed may need a light raking.
Step 4: Lightly sprinkle the reseeded area two or three times a day if the reseeding is done in hot weather. Repeat this daily watering until the new seedlings are about 1″ tall. After the new grass has reached this height, water it thoroughly about once each week until it is ready for the first mowing.
Lawn Rejuvenation and Reinstallation Require Equipment Rental
Any major lawn project requires equipment most Plano residents and homeowners do not possess, therefore renting the equipment makes sense. Once you decide what your lawn needs, our team can help you determine the most effective rental equipment to make your project easier.
