How to Grow Grass in Annapolis
There are a handful of steps involved in growing grass, each corresponding to the different steps involved in germinating grass seed. Here’s a quick overview of some of our most effective grass growing tips and how they can help you maintain a lawn that stays lush and green through the seasons:
Planting. When you plant your grass seed, it’s crucial to ensure that the soil is prepared. Make sure you’re planting your grass seed in soil that’s between a pH of 6.0 and 7.0 to optimize germination. If your soil’s overall health isn’t up to snuff, your grass isn’t likely to flourish. Also, as you’re planting, using a spreader or another implement can help you get even coverage to avoid creating additional spots and patches on your lawn.
Covering. After you put down grass seed, it’s time to cover it up. This can be accomplished by either using a rake to work it down into the soil (less than 1/4 inch) or by spreading a new layer of topsoil on top of it. Keeping your grass seed under approximately 1/4″ under the soil, you can prevent it from being washed away while also ensuring that it gets enough sunlight.
Watering. Watering is where several mistakes commonly pop up. For new seed, water two to three times per day and stop if any puddles appear. The goal of watering at this stage is to keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
