As healthy bushes and trees separate homes from other properties in their areas, lawns are sources of pride for many homeowners. However, maintaining a lovely evergreen lawn requires care, and only some have the time.
When lawns are neglected for an extended period, they can even begin to deteriorate. At this point, homeowners are faced with the decision of renovating or redoing the landscaping. If you’ve come to this decision-making phase, consider these three things. Once you’ve made your choice, give RDK LANDSCAPING a call for the Evergreen Lawn Care you require.
1. WHY DOES YOUR LAWN NEED TO BE FACILITATED?
Neglect is one of the most frequent lawn care errors and can produce a variety of typical landscaping issues or aggravate existing ones. The topic of whether you should renovate or rework the landscaping will be resolved based on which situation applies to your lawn. Using the example of watering is one method to convey this notion.
The irrigation rate must be changed seasonally based on the shifting growth cycle at various times of the year for grass to receive the regular moisture it needs to flourish. Most lawns remain dormant in the winter, so you don’t need to mow as frequently during the cooler months. However, maintaining the same watering schedule as in the summer could result in over-watering. Too much water is considerably worse for lawns than not enough since it saturates the soil and inhibits oxygen from penetrating it, which is necessary to feed the roots of grass, trees, and other plants.
Compared to plants with adequate oxygen levels, oxygen-starved plants are more susceptible to disease and pest damage. Renovating the lawn and changing your watering practices might bring back the splendour of your yard if the landscaping is suffering due to your watering practices. Systemic design faults are occasionally the root of landscaping failures. If you’re watering your grass correctly but need to be healthier, the issue may be poor drainage or insufficient sunlight. To avoid oversaturating the soil with water, the area needs to designate low points and enough sunlight. Renovations would only result in a recurrence of oversaturation should this issue arise.
Instead, new landscaping would need to be installed, ideally with advice from experts in lawn care who consider factors like drainage and sun exposure. Make an appointment for a consultation to create an evergreen lawn with RDK LANDSCAPING to get assistance determining the cause of your lawn’s difficulties.
2. WHAT PROPORTION OF THE YARD IS SUCCEEDING?
Natural grass is rarely affected by issues. Instead, they frequently develop within a small area of the entire hay. You can decide whether it’s worthwhile to renovate or redo the landscaping by figuring out what portion of the yard needs repair.
A few dead grass or tree areas can ruin the appearance of the entire environment. However, focused landscape renovations can frequently resolve individual problems. Replace unhealthy trees or reseed areas of brown grass to bring them up to par with the rest of the lawn, improving the visual value of the landscape.
Renovations are no longer feasible if a certain proportion of the lawn has failed, and the only option is to replace the landscape completely. For instance, a yard with uneven soil pH may have brown or even bare ground, alternating with lush, green grass patches.
Similarly, a weed invasion could spread roots throughout the lawn, making the issue too significant for an afternoon of weeding. When a yard experiences systemic issues, like weeds or soil-related matters, the best course is to replace the yard, typically beginning with a fresh layer of topsoil.
3. HOW LONG ARE YOU WILLING TO PUT INTO RE-ESTABLISHING THE LAWN?
If you ask yourself that question honestly, you’ll be able to determine whether your yard might benefit from improvements or new landscaping. Since renovations are standalone undertakings, they take less time and money to do.
While landscaping replacements are more involved and expensive, the effects are more striking and include improved curb appeal and enhanced home values. A new grass typically takes a few weeks to complete. The process will go faster if you hire expert landscapers, but the best lawn care for your property depends on your ability to wait.
