Lawn Construction

At Evolutions Developments lawn construction goes beyond the process of establishing a new lawn or repairing an existing one. It involves preparing the soil, selecting the appropriate grass species, and implementing the necessary steps to ensure successful growth.

Evolutions Developments provide these key steps involved in lawn construction:

Site Preparation: Clear the area of any existing vegetation, rocks, or debris. Grade the soil to create a level surface, ensuring proper drainage. Remove any weeds or grass from the site.

Soil Testing: Evolutions Developments conduct a soil test to determine its pH level and nutrient content. This information helps us to determine if any amendments are needed, such as lime to adjust pH or fertilizers to supplement nutrients.

Soil Improvement: Based on the soil test results, Evolutions Developments will add any necessary amendments like compost, organic matter, or sand to improve the soil structure, fertility, and drainage. Incorporate these amendments into the soil by tilling or raking.

Grass Selection: Evolutions Developments will choose a grass species that suits your garden climate, light conditions, and intended use of the lawn. Is your lawn area more prone to sun or shade? Will the area be heavily used by children playing? These factors will determine the best grasses for your specific area and needs.

Evolutions Developments have two primary methods for establishing a lawn: seeding or Sodding:

Seeding: Spread grass seed evenly over the prepared soil using a broadcast spreader. Follow the recommended seeding rate for the specific grass species. Lightly rake the seed into the soil and keep it consistently moist until germination occurs.

Sodding: Lay pre-grown grass sod directly onto the prepared soil, ensuring tight seams and good contact between the sod and soil. Water the sod immediately after installation and continue regular watering until the roots establish.

Irrigation: Proper watering is essential for the establishment and growth of a new lawn. Water the seeded area frequently, keeping the soil evenly moist until the grass establishes. Sodded areas require regular watering as well to help the roots take hold.

Maintenance: After lawn establishment, ongoing maintenance is crucial to promote healthy growth. This includes regular mowing, fertilizing, watering, and weed control.

Remember, the specific steps and techniques may vary depending on your location, grass species, and other factors, Evolutions Developments can help provide guidance tailored to your specific area and soil type for optimal maintenance.
