Reclaim Your Lawn
Posted by Dan Mulch on 09/14/11Hot, dry summers can wreak havoc on lawns - leaving them dry, thin and spotty. But here’s the good news: right now is the best time to rejuvenate stressed and struggling lawns. Here’s your chance!
Introduce Great Quality Grass Seed
According to the University of Illinois, the ideal seed time is Aug 21 - Sept 21; although it can be safely stretched to the end of September.
With three specially formulated Hoerr Nursery seed selections to choose from, we’ll help you choose the one that’s right for you: a five-star, sure-to-make-your-neighbor-jealous lawn; a tough, all-purpose lawn for active outdoor families or for those hard-to-grow shady areas.
Start the New Grass Off Right
- Loosen or till your soil before seeding - make sure the seed comes in contact with the soil.
- Apply a starter fertilizer like Ferti-lome® New Lawn Starter
- Water! Keep the soil surface moist is key; water at least once per day until the seed begins to germinate.
Aeration is One of the Best Things You Can Do for Your Lawn
Aerating in the fall will loosen soil, aid in root development, and control thatch. If you’re interested in aeration, give us a call at 309-689-2544 for a free consultation.
