Care Tips For Your Lawn

1.  My lawn died/browned out over the summer.  What should I do?
            a.         Thatch or rake hard with a fan rake to remove debris and dead grass.
            b.         Fast Acting Lime: 1 bag/4000 square feet
            c.         Sow seed.
            e.         Fertilize with a lawn starter.
            f.          After second or third mowing, fertilize with Fall Lawn Food.

KEEP WATERING after seed germinates, especially if the temperature is over 75-80°.

2.  Do I need to lime?
Yes, at least once a year to ensure healthy lawn development.  Apply Fast Acting Lime at the rate of 1  bag/4000 square feet

Note:  An acre is 44,000 square feet . If you have a half acre lot (22,000 square feet) half of that is probably lawn, with the other half taken up by your house, driveway, beds, etc.)

3.  When do I fertilize?
We recommend 3 Fall feedings:  September, mid-October, and right before Thanksgiving.

4.  How much seed do I need?
Reseeding:   1 pound per 400 square feet
New Lawn:    1 pound per 300 square feet

5.  When should I water may lawn?
Water in the morning.  If you water at night the lawn will stay wet, which promotes disease.

6.  Should I cover my newly seeded areas with straw?
Yes, to keep new grass from drying out.

7.  Which seed do I need?
Choose your seed according to the following:
Is your lawn in sun or shade?
Do you have children or pets?
Are you looking for a fine textured or coarser textured lawn?
