A vibrant green turf is every property owner’s pride and joy. If yours has lost color do to drought damage, it’s time to get your hands dirty.  

Follow our recommended steps for successful Commercial Lawn Maintenance

• Weed out your problems: Deal with weeds, pests and disease before turf renovation. There are many solutions available in the market. However, specific treatments are more effective. 
• Improve soil quality: Your lawn needs nutrient rich soil to grow strong and healthy. Get a soil analysis to understand your soil type (clay, loam, etc.) and requirements before you make any amendments. Using a good quality top dressing will also improve resistance to weather fluctuations, pest and disease.  

• Choose the right grass type: Select grass that is suitable to your growing conditions. Climate, shade or sun, and type of soil influence growth and maintenance. Choose grass that is hardy.  

• Prepare the soil for planting: Whether you’re using sod or seed, there is no short cut to soil preparation. Fill in holes, even out the lawn area and aerate to reduce soil compaction. Grass roots need easy access to moisture and nutrients in the soil. 

• Seed your lawn correctly: Seeding the correct amount and in the appropriate manner enhances turf growth. Seed in both directions, at right angles. If you’re not confident about how to do it, get an experienced commercial landscaping company to manage your turf renovation.  

• With HOA Landscaping company, it must include maintaining a proper watering schedule: New seed and sod need to be watered on a regular basis to prevent them from drying out.  Keep them moist and avoid over watering. 

• Don’t forget to fertilize: Fertilization will prove to maximize your landscape budget. Fertilize after a month to boost growth and disease resistance. Follow the recommended usage and watering practices to keep your newly installed lawn healthy. 

• Be diligent about hiring the right commercial lawn maintenance:  A vibrant lawn is the result of careful maintenance. Don’t neglect the mowing, watering, weeding or pest control.
