Dallas Sod will Complete the Look of Your Lawn

If you are moving into a new home or want to remove the current grass from your lawn, Dallas Sod is what you need. The Dallas Sod comes in a variety for home owner's. There is St. Augustine, Bermuda and Zoysia. Each of these types of grass/sod will vary in price. When deciding what type of sod is best for your landscaping needs, keep in mind whether the sod will be in shade or direct sunlight. If the grass will be under a tree, more likely than not, you will need a St. Augustine sod. If the sod will be in direct sunlight, all the time, you will need Bermuda Tifway 419 or Zoysia sod.

When looking for a sod that does not require a lot of water, Bermuda sod is the brand for your home or business. This will be a good sod if you are looking to cut down on water usage.

The majority of sod is rolled up. This is the same for our sod. When our sod is added to your current landscaping, we roll it out over your existing lawn. If your lawn has a lot of weeds, the weeds will need to be removed prior to the sod installation. This will cost extra to the home owner or business owner. Before we ever lay down the sod, we will give you a quote so you can decide what sod works best for your landscaping needs.

If a full sod installation is required, a herbicide is sprayed wherever there are weeds or dead grass. Once weeds are removed, the soil is tilled and flattened out. Once the soil is prepared for the new grass, the sod is rolled out and cut to fit the desired area.

Having a well maintained and crisp lawn, whether for a home owner or business, will always impress family, friends or business associates. A well manicured lawn and the grass you use says you care about the exterior of your home or business.

With Spring Comes Planting, Growing and Outsidepride.com

Spring is just around the corner. This means, the windows in our homes will once again be open, there will be spring cleaning and planting and growing all sorts of flowers and vegetables. In order to plant and grow your seeds, you will need a very important garden tool. This important tool would be an aerator. Owning and using lawn aerators are a must have tool for any and all gardeners, whether you are a beginner or advanced gardener.

In case you are not aware of what a lawn aerator does, it will, manually or mechanically, punch tiny holes in the soil. This is an important tool to own and use because these holes in your allow the soil, which might have been impacted during the winter months, breathe and allows for the roots to grow into the soil at a deeper rate.

These little holes allow the water being used on your garden to seep into the soil, instead of sitting on top of the soil. Some gardeners might not know about this trick which allows their garden to grow faster and lets the water disperse quicker into the soil and allow the seeds to grow as well.

It is a good idea to use a lawn aerator at least two times a year. There are various types and styles of lawn aerators. There are at least five types of aerators and a gardener can even use a liquid aerator. For those who are looking for another way to aerate the lawn, using a liquid aerator is another option.

Before spring comes around, it is a good idea to already have all your gardening tools available to you. Owing a lawn aerator is one gardening tool to always have on hand and ready to use.
