Best Practices

Want to renovate your lawn? Kinnucan Co. can help
and here’s what we do.

Step One: We may need to apply a non selective herbicide to
eliminate the undesirable grasses and weeds from your lawn.
In some instances this process is not necessary and the actual
seeding process can begin.

Step Two: We’ll double aerate your lawn to help your lawn breathe.

Step Three: We’ll use a piece of equipment specifically designed for renovating lawns to slice the soil and establish a seedbed. This process allows the seed to make direct contact with the soil so proper germination can occur.

To encourage germination and insure a healthy start for the seeding turf, we’ll apply a special 'starter' fertilizer. This type of fertilizer is formulated specifically for newly seeded areas and contains just the right balance of nutrients for young grass plants.

Step Four: It will be time for the most important step of all. Water. Your lawn renovation will be successful only if the area is properly and consistently watered for four to six weeks following seeding. Don’t worry, we’ll provide complete instructions.

Finally: You will see continuous development and improvement over a period of about 4 — 5 months. And once the lawn is established, it is very important to maintain it correctly. Proper mowing and fertilization, along with weed and insect control, are vital. We would be happy to discuss those services with you.
