Drought Damage is Temporary

If looking at your Marshfield lawn has been leaving you feeling a little sick, don’t despair. Things may look bleak now, but you can have a vibrant green yard once again. The dry, damaged grass and bare patches that are prevalent throughout Western Massachusetts are proof that we haven’t had enough rain, but the rains will return. Working with your Marshfield lawn service you can be sure your lawn is prepared to thrive when that happens.

Marshfield Power Seeding

Grass that has died or has been significantly damaged by the drought needs to be replaced. The most efficient, effective way to do this is to plant new grass seed now. The seed will be in place throughout the late fall and winter months, gathering available moisture from snowfall and poised to grow once spring arrives. Obviously there has been a lot of interest in drought resistant grasses. There are several, and your Marshfield lawn service can help you choose what type will work best to meet your family’s unique needs, thrive in your local growing conditions, and be aesthetically pleasing.

Power seeding is the best way your entire yard receives an even coating of grass seed, with special attention paid to high traffic areas as well as any zones that may have been disproportionately affected by the drought. Seed needs to be distributed in a regular pattern in order to encourage thick, lush grass growth: this is why you’ll see your lawn care team making repeated passes over the yard. This technique is the surest way to get even grass growth in a minimal amount of time.

Fall is an ideal time for power seeding in Marshfield. We’re also running a special pricing incentive. When you sign up for an annual lawn care contract, we’ll give you $50 off power seeding. That means we’ll get the lawn jump started to look great next year and do all the work to keep it looking fantastic!
