Have you picked out the right seed for your landscape? If the answer is yes, then you are ready to start planting! The Southern Green team is here to help you get started.

Before you plant your seeds, you need to make sure the ground is ready. Your lawn should be moist and leveled before your put the seed down to ensure that your ground will accept the seed and it will grow properly. You will also need to rake the ground with a heavy garden rake, as this will create furrows when your seeds are planted.

There are many different ways to seed a lawn, including planting by hand and using mechanical equipment. If you have a larger landscape, you’ll want to consider investing in a seed spreader to make certain you are evenly distributing seed over the area. For the best results, you’ll want to apply half the seeds in one direction, and then apply the other half at a right angle from the first seeding.

Growing and maintaining a lawn means you have to think about a wide array of subjects, such as climate, location, and fertilization. When people are establishing their Florida landscapes, one thing rarely comes to mind – grass leaf texture. How does grass leaf texture affect your lawn and what options are available to you in the great state of Florida?

There is a wide array of turfgrass leaf textures, including fine, medium, and coarse. These classifications measure the width of the grass blade. On the whole, texture of grass is merely an aesthetic choice. The only place that texture truly matters is on a golf course. As a Florida homeowner, you’ll find that most of the grasses that we can use have a coarse texture, such as St. Augustinegrass, centipedegrass, and bahiagrass. These coarse grasses have what it takes to stand up to the warmer climates. Before choosing a finer texture, take a look at the climate in your area and make sure your grass of choice can grow properly.

Whatever choice you make for your landscape, you can be confident that the Southern Green crew is ready to provide you with maintenance services that are beyond compare. Come to us when you are seeking lawn service in Jacksonville, FL, as well as Orlando, Tampa, and South Florida.
