Sod Maintenance

As the seasons change, so do the weather and soil conditions around your home. Every season and sod type requires a different approach to maintenance. Still, there are certain actions that should always take place to ensure your lawn is green and healthy.

Basic Maintenance

There are certain steps you can take to properly care for your lawn without spending too much time and resources.

• Mowing your lawn at the appropriate height will help your grass grow evenly and stronger.
• Watering your lawn will help improve the quality of your grass. Ensuring water uniformity as you water your lawn will lead to more even growth.
• Fertilizing your lawn ensures your grass receives the necessary nutrients to stay healthy and encourages leaf and root growth.

Advanced Maintenance

Outside of the basic maintenance steps, there are more advanced ways of maintaining a healthy lawn.

• Overseeding may be necessary if your lawn is developing bare areas or when grass density is low.
• Topdressing can be helpful when you need a smoother lawn surface or need to reduce thatch buildup.
• Aeration is a beneficial maintenance step to help air, water, and nutrients move into the soil so that they reach the grass roots. This helps reduce soil compaction and thatch.
• Dethatching is necessary when too much thatch is present between the soil and the green vegetation.
