If you have soil that is good condition, your lawn will be easier to keep up in the future and it will cost you a lot less money in the long run. Prior to starting a new lawn, you should get the soil tested. The test will tell you what is needed to get you soil to the proper pH levels. Your soil may be too acidic or alkaline. Don’t panic if the term lawn aeration sounds Greek to you for this is just a simple procedure of removing plugs and cores from the your lawn soil thereby making it more porous and healthier for plant growth. The soil of our lawns loses its porosity and becomes compacted due to heavy usage while walking, running or even during the rainy seasons. Warm season grasses do best in the southern states, while cool season grasses grow better in the northern states. As previously stated, warm season grasses can be planted in spring and cool season grasses should be planted in the late summer or early fall. It is important that you know which grass you have and which growing season it will thrive in to make seeding new lawns a rewarding project. There are many different kinds of mowers available in the market that are made up of revolving blades at an equal length. Lawn mowers use a blade that is rotating all the time when the motor is turned on and this chops the grass short. The mowers whose blades move in circular manner are known as rotator mowers and have blades around the circular axis. If you do not till, grass may have trouble establishing roots – especially if the soil in the growing area is very heavy. The soil should be tilled to at least six to eight inches. After you have loosened up the growing soil, add any amendments/fertilizers that are needed based on your soil test and till them into the soil.
