A great lawn care service in Ogden Utah recognizes the right way to lay sod. Green Castle Lawn Care and Pest Control begins by measuring your yard with a measuring wheel. After that some mathematics formulas enter into play to guarantee we obtain the right amount of sod. The best time to put in sod is in the spring or autumn when its not overly hot. Afterwards well speak with you to make sure the sod gets enough water to dig in.
We usually lay sod in strip rolls but first we prep the dirt by removing all weeds and various other plants. Then we can apply some compost and let it sit for a while if we have time prior to rolling out the sod. Afterwards we till and rake and examine the soil for appropriate pH. This way we ensure you have the proper topsoil.
We always lay sod in neat rows and water it as soon as were done. Nonetheless we first level out sod that has actually bunched up as we go and get rid of pockets of air so it develops roots. Naturally we make use of utility knives to slice the sod as needed see to it everything is flush and fill in all spaces using remaining scraps. If you have a lawn sprinkler we cut openings for the heads. In some cases we need to cut smaller rows for around flower beds sidewalks and driveways.
When all the sod is laid we make use of a roller machine to push the sod into the topsoil which locks in moisture and helps sod grow roots. Well roll one way then another way perpendicular utilizing a grid pattern. We try to stay clear of laying sod after heavy rainfall since the roller can do damages.
After that we ask you to water the sod immediately and at routine intervals. You can evaluate to guarantee its obtaining water by raising a corner to ensure its damp yet not dry or muddy. Try to water first thing in the morning every day for a week and attempt not to walk on it as that can harm the sod. After the initial week its okay to water every other day. You can mow when the grass is three inches high. Have your lawnmower blade sharpened initially and cut on the highest possible setting. Keep in mind that we provide grass mowing services.
Green Castle Lawn Care and Pest Control can after that establish a strategy to keep your grass weed and pest-free and apply the proper nutrients as required.
