Planning a turf renovation? Late spring and summer are the best time to get in touch with your commercial lawn maintenance service. A vibrant green turf is every property owner’s pride and joy. If yours has lost color, it’s time to get your hands dirty.  

Follow our recommended steps for a successful lawn renovation. 

    • Weed out your problems: Deal with weeds, pests and disease before turf renovation. When it comes down to commercial lawn maintenance, 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: A commercial lawn maintenance company will choose a grass type that is suitable to the 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. 
  • Maintain a proper watering schedule: New seeds 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: Fertilize after a month to boost growth and disease resistance. Follow the recommended usage and watering practices to keep your newly installed lawn healthy.
