The beginning of fall on Long Island is less than two weeks away! With the cool weather approaching, now is the best time to make improvements to your lawn and landscape. Warm days and cool nights are best conditions for starting a new lawn or improving an existing one.
The Rain Rich program is an inexpensive program for cultivating your lawn and is also the same program used by golf courses and athletic fields. I highly recommend the Rain Rich program which consists of the following:
1. Core aeration
2. Soil test for pH and nutrients
3. Adding top soil if needed to fill in holes and ruts
4. Liming of soil to raise PH
5. Top dressing with organic compost to introduce biology
6. Fall fertilization
7. Seeding with Long Island superior blend of grass seed
8. Proper programming of irrigation controller for germinating new seed
Lawn aeration is a MUST for making your lawn healthy. For Long Island soils and grasses, it is important to aerate 1-2 times per year with now being the optimum time.
Listed below are a few of the major benefits received from core aerating your lawn:
Allows oxygen to infiltrate the soil and the root zone permitting it to “breathe” and stimulate growth.
• Organic fertilizers and nutrients access to the root system.
• Tight, compacted soil is loosened allowing roots to grow.
• Enhances heat tolerance.
• Increases the lawn’s drought tolerance and improves its overall health.
All of our programs are customized to your specific property and are guaranteed for your satisfaction. Rain Rich can provide all or part of this program, and we recommend an organic approach for long term benefits for you and the environment.
