Reengineered Lawn Installation Program Yields Amazing Results
With the right leader, right team and right approach, our clients’ new lawn installations have a much greater chance of success. This was tested and proven in 2023.
Challenges in Lawn Installation:
Establishing a new green, lush, healthy lawn is particularly challenging in Wisconsin due to several factors:
- Climate variability: Wisconsin experiences a wide range of climate conditions, from cold winters with snow cover to hot, humid summers. Sudden temperature fluctuations and unpredictable weather patterns can stress newly seeded lawns and hinder their establishment.
- Soil composition: The soil composition in Wisconsin varies across different regions, but it often consists of heavy clay soils or sandy soils with low organic matter content. These soil types can present challenges for lawn establishment.
- Weed and pest pressure: Wisconsin’s diverse ecosystem supports a wide range of weeds, pests, and diseases that can pose significant challenges to newly installed lawns.
This year, we reengineered our lawn installation program and witnessed remarkable success—marking a departure from past challenges in achieving vibrant lawns. Under the guidance of our new lawn care specialist, Chris, we introduced a new seed type known for its and quick germination and drought resistance, ensuring a healthy lawn even during periods of adverse growing conditions. We also changed our protocols to include testing of soil quality, followed by targeted amendments where necessary. These steps lays the groundwork for optimal growing conditions.
As always, pictures truly tell the story.
Drought Resistant Seed
Below shows our client’s green lawn as compared to their neighbor. This image was taken during the height of the drought this summer. The berm area shows how untreated/standard grass compares to the lawn cared for by our team. Wow!
Tackling Soil Acidity is Key Element in Reengineered Lawn Installation Program
For the client pictured below, the soil was highly acidic, which meant no seed would grow properly. We addressed the acidity to fix the problem, re-seeded it in June and by October their lawn was a showstopper. This example is one reason testing for acidity is part of our standard practice to ensure we are accounting for the soil condition up front.
Quick Seed Germination
You can see just how quickly our new seed germinates in these pictures. From seed on day 6 to a lush lawn on day 10!
This next image is an example of how quickly our reengineered lawn installation program can yield results. The lush, green lawn seen below is only one month from installation.
