• 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. 

• Seed your lawn correctly: Commercial property landscaping companies understand that 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 landscaping company to manage your turf renovation.  

• 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. 

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