How do I maintain my sodded yard?

• <div><p>When your sod is new, you should keep an eye on it to prevent dehydration. As new sod plants its roots into the soil beneath it, it can easily get dehydrated and start to turn brown. Keeping a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-water-lawn.htm">consistent watering schedule</a> for your new sod will help prevent this issue and will help it thrive as it roots into your yard.</p><p>Once your sod is about six weeks old, you can start to establish a regular lawn maintenance routine, complete with mowing, edging, and fertilizing. </p></div>

Is it okay to water plants with sugar?

• <div><p>Sugar water helps the microorganisms in the soil break down nutrients, thus helping certain plants grow. In other words, it is okay to water plants with sugar water, but exercise caution and never rely on sugar when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fertilize-lawn.htm">fertilizing your grass</a>. Sugar is not plant food and, if applied too liberally, kills the plants you intend to help.</p></div>

Q: Should you fertilize new grass seed?

• <div><p>Yes, but the best approach is to apply fertilizer well before you actually sprinkle the seeds. Apply fertilizer with an NPK ratio somewhere around 10-10-20, or 10-10-10, depending on soil test results and the type of grass you're planting, about six to eight weeks before planting grass seed. This mix added to loosened soil will give the grass seed its best chance of getting off to a solid start. </p></div>

Q: What time of year should I add sulfur to my lawn?

• <div><p>You should apply sulfur to your lawn in the spring or fall when it is below 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Aim for a day with little to no wind so you can apply it with precision. You can apply sulfur to an established lawn or mix it into the top 6 inches of soil on an unplanted area.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required after lawn seeding?

• <div><p>Post-seeding care involves regular watering, mowing when appropriate, and occasional re-seeding to cover sparse areas.</p></div>

He comes out once a week. The quality of their work is "A+". I would definitely use them again. They also do more than mow the lawn. They come out once a year and prune all of the bushes. They are really an outstanding company.

Fantastic! The staff does a great job. Aaron stops by and checks their work. They saw some of our plants had a fungus and needed treatment. They let us know and what the cost would be. Would highly recommend Hearts Desire Landscaping!
