We shall discuss the finer aspects of establishing new lawns. This is the first step towards having a great lawn. The hardest part is the preparation. This requires you to remove all the weeds from the area where you want to sow the grass. Ensure that the surface is uniform. The ground should be firm so that you do not end up sticking your feet into the ground when you walk through the area. How do you achieve this firmness of the ground? The following steps should help you do so.

The first step is to remove the stones and other debris from the area. This leaves the soil clean and ready for seeding.

Use good quality seeds and ensure to cover the area properly to discourage the growth of weeds. The key is to spread the seeds properly to cover the entire surface. You get quality gardening supplies from this company. Use a good hand spreader like the GTi Hand Spreader.

How do you ensure an even spread? These tips will help you do so.

Spread half the amount of seeds you have over the enter area. You now have a clear idea of how much seeds you require for spreading over the balance area of the ground. The same logic applies when you apply fertilizers.

Once you apply the fertilizer, you should be raking the surface to ensure maximum contact between the seeds and fertilizers. Use a fine droplet sprinkler to gently water the surface. It should be moist throughout the germination period. However, you should ensure that you do not overwater the area.

Once the grass starts to grow, good gardening demands you to water the area lightly on a frequent basis instead of watering it heavily at infrequent intervals. Mowing the grass at regular intervals allows you to maintain the length of the grass at the right level. In case you leave it too short, you end up exposing the roots to weeds. At the same time, you should not have them too high so as to block the sunlight from reaching the roots. This ends up stunting the growth of the grass.

The biggest enemy of your lawns is the weeds. The use of quality fertilizer can prevent the growth of weeds. Placing the seeds in close proximity can also discourage the growth of weeds. Insects can also harm your lawns. You have specific pests like grass grub and Argentine stem weevil that damage your lawns within no time. Using a high quality pesticide like GTi Pyrifos G can get help you get rid of these pests.

You need these tools and landscape supplies in order to build an attractive landscape.
