“What do you do when the greenest things in your lawn are weeds? …. The overall approach: Choke the weeds out not with chemicals, but by creating a new lush lawn of healthy grass.”

Choose the Best Grass

“Jerry's yard is full of mature trees, which help shade his landscape. Fescue would be a great option for him, because it does well in partially shaded areas. The grass will require a bit more watering than Jerry's current lawn, but he'll get better results.
Paul suggests Jerry use a mixture of fescue — two types of tall fescue and also a creeping red fescue, which is extremely shade tolerant; in areas of complete shade, the red fescue will help fill in the bare spots.”

Dr. Sprinkler Repair LLC - Logan, UT 435-760-0827

Call Dr. Sprinkler: 435-760-0827

http://www.drsprinkler.info/

My name is Paul Godfrey (owner). We have a goal to have outstanding customer service, and communication with you the customer. We are Licensed and Insured, clean cut, no swearing employees, who look forward to making your sprinkler run the way you want them to.

Feeding


“The amount of fertilizer you need to maintain lush green grass depends on how rich the underlying soil is, and if you occasionally leave the clippings on the lawn, which help top up the soil nutrients. Apply granular or liquid lawn fertilizer at least once a year. Spring and early summer feeds are high in nitrogen to boost leaf growth; products for use in early autumn are low in nitrogen but high in potassium to aid grass roots in winter. Do not overfeed because it can result in weak growth and fungal problems.”

“Divide the lawn into a grid of yard squares using stakes. Apply fertilizer at the rate according to the package. Rent a calibrated spreader for large lawns, and water if it doesn't rain within three days after feeding.”

Call Dr. Sprinkler: 435-760-0827

Dr. Sprinkler focuses on making reliable repairs, installations, and winter blow-outs for people who are sick of hassling with their sprinkler systems. Dr. Sprinkler is the premier sprinkler repair service in sprinkler repair, sprinkler maintenance, sprinkler winterization, irrigation repair, sprinkler installation, and sprinkler blowouts.



Shave and a Haircut

“When it comes to sharing lawn secrets, the first one on many garden experts' lips is mowing height. "Most people mow their lawns way too short, which stresses out the grass," says Paul James, host of Gardening by the Yard. The secret, he says, is do less, not more: "I'm a great believer in benign neglect." He recommends raising the mower to the highest possible notch so you're mowing only the top third of the grass when you cut. Taller grass promotes better root development, Paul says, as well as shading the ground so it doesn't dry out as fast. An added benefit: the taller grass blocks the sun that weed seeds require to germinate.

And don't believe for a moment that leaving grass taller is going to mean mowing more often, says Gary. "There's a big misunderstanding that a lot of people have that if they cut it shorter, they won't have to mow it as often," say Gary. "But that's absolutely false; it renews itself so fast that it doesn't save you any time.’"

Dr. Sprinkler specializes in sprinkler repairs and installations. We have a goal to have outstanding customer service and communication with our customers.  Dr. Sprinkler knows that the business is only as good as the people that work for it. As part of our mission statement we are honest, clean and full of integrity; therefore, we say we will be there when we say we will be there.



Setting Soil
“Planting a new lawn is like any good adventure: preparation and planning are key. No matter which planting method you plan to use, you need to prepare the area thoroughly to banish weeds and make sure soil won't immediately crust over or compact into lumpy ruts. John Griggs, a master gardener in West Virginia, says the most important step — and one that many gardeners skip — is testing the pH of your soil.

Do-it-yourself test kits are available from nurseries and catalogs, or you can take advantage of the testing offered by your state's designated agricultural university. "It might seem like a hassle, but testing your soil will save you from pouring money into the ground," John says.

Start by stripping the area of all weeds, including roots, even if that means taking off the top six inches. Then rototill to a depth of at least six inches to loosen compaction and improve drainage. It's extremely important to add loam and compost to enrich the soil; many experts suggest mixing equal parts of loam, sand and your original topsoil. You're best off in the long run if you incorporate a slight slope to facilitate drainage and prevent pooling. Finally, use a roller to pack down the soil, then grade the area with a metal rake. Be as thorough as you can — remember, once you've put your seed or sod down, you can't go back and regrade.”
