A Thick, Green Lawn Starts From The Ground Up
Your lawn needs more than sunshine, water and fertilizer to thrive. A deep, healthy root system helps your lawn survive damage from drought and insects… and avoids costly repairs. A thick, dense lawn chokes out weeds and reduces new weed infestations.
The composition of your soil has a big impact on the quality and health of your lawn. Under most lawns there is a thin layer of topsoil with either clay or sand underneath. Both of these conditions can lead to poor, thin lawns prone to stress caused by drought, winter deicers, insects and high traffic. The most effective way to improve the soil is to topdress with compost that is high in organic matter. Increasing organic matter will:
- Increase water holding capacity of sandy soil
- Increase drainage and air pores in clay soil
- Increase beneficial microorganisms including earthworms, which improves soil structure
- Supply plant nutrients
Improving the soil quality with compost has many short and long term benefits for your lawn including:
- Increased drought tolerance
- Stimulated root growth
- Improved fertilizer results
- Improved seed germination
