Replenishing your grass plants is just a natural part of maintaining a healthy, abundant lawn. Over time, your grass plants get older and break down—meaning it’s time to reseed your turf. At Lawn Doctor of Greater Springfield, we offer expert yard care for local homeowners.
Whether you need professional power seeding or you just want tips for growing a great lawn, we can help. Let’s take a look at a few recommendations.
How Springfield Homeowners Grow Abundant Lawns
If you want to try your hand at seeding your lawn, it’s always doable. You just need to take the right measures throughout the growing season. Here’s what to do:
Pick your grass. Your planting schedule will always be defined by your grass variety. For homes in Springfield, it’s a good idea to choose a hardy, fast-growing grass like Kentucky bluegrass, fine Fescue, or ryegrass. You’ll want to plant these later in the year, toward mid-August or even September.
Even out your yard. If your backyard is bumpy or uneven, you want to smooth it out before you plant. This has two benefits: it’s good for new grass growth, and it also makes it easy to plant, mow, and maintain. If there are boulders, stones, or other obstacles, take these out, too.
Prepare your soil. New grass will need to draw on nutrients in the soil. Get professional soil testing to identify soil quality and pH levels. This is where our yard care company can help out. We also offer core aeration and fertilization, so your soil is in great condition before you seed.
Check in with the experts. It’s never a bad time to consult with your lawn care company—in fact, sooner is typically better. They can implement pre-emergent treatment well before you start seeding your lawn, so new grass doesn’t have to fight for resources. Our technicians can audit your property and offer additional recommendations, too.
