Your lawn looks great now, but we want you to keep it that way. Here is our how-to guide on maintaining a great lawn, perfect for homeowners in the landscape Vancouver BC area.
After your new sod is installed, water daily for the first week, water every 2 days the second week, water every 3 days for the third week, and after the fourth week, water 1-2 times per week or as often as the water restrictions allow. Special watering permits may be required for lawn watering outside of approved days; check with your city bylaws for restrictions.
Consider implementing Spring and Fall over-seeding and fertilizing programs. It's important to add new grass seed to your lawns in early Spring and early Fall, especially if you're seeking services from landscaping companies Vancouver BC. These are the times of year when grass germinates and grows faster, we have mild temperatures, and it is usually raining more frequently. To ensure you have a thick lawn, add more seed. Your new seeds will benefit from having a small amount of starter fertilizer applied at the same time of seeding. If you have grass in a shady area, use shade-tolerant mixes of grass seed, a tip often shared by Vancouver landscaping companies. It is also helpful to add lime to help balance the pH levels and reduce moss growth.
