By Bernard Darians


Some people imagine that Winter will not be a season for landscaping. However, Kansas City landscaping contractors understand Winter is a critical time in the annual life-cycle of grass. This is very true if Late Fall Maintenance was ignored.

Encouraging root and stem growth as soon as possible after the frost can certainly make a significant difference.Summer months may harm your grass without effective care and service. It is also the most cost-effective way to defend against weeds and disease.

In the Kansas City area Overseeding is a fundamental part of lawn-care. This straight forward DIY challenge can make your yard a treasure.

Seed type and quality can vary greatly and competent advice is recommended. For instance, in the Kansas City vicinity the same lawn often has deep shade and high traffic, requiring a blended grass-seed. Speak to a garden-supply store to find information and product.

Verticutter

Fertilizer Spreader

Seed Mix

Fertilizer

Landscape sprinkler

Using the Rake/Verticutter correctly should generate .25" abrasions in the soil surface. Pass around the grass at least twice in right angles.

Spread the grass seed equally on the existing yard and doubly thick on patches of soil. After dispersing the seed products, run the rake over the lawn again to work the seed just under the soil.

Throuhout the seed's germination period of two weeks, keep the soil constantly moist. In order to keep wetness, use a sprinkler regularly daily.

Make certain the grass seed is protected by a thin layer of dirt and kept moist while sprouting. Provide as much time as possible ahead of the heat of Summer and just after the final freeze to develop good grass roots. The guidelines above will deliver the Landscaping strategies you need for a fantastic yard.
