How can I start & grow a beautiful lawn?

Location/Original Characteristics

Its located at Adam’s house in one of his lots

1. Its about 100ft long by 70 ft in width.

2. There is no grass I just finished disking it.

3. The only water it is able to have is when it rains.

4. It has moderate traffic.

Soil Charicteristics

• The soil characteristics are as follows

1. The soil is moderately coarse.

2. The ph level is about 8

3. 15-20 inches soil depth

4. Its mainly flat

5. There is a hill in the middle of the lot, but there is no trees near it at all.

Seeds to plant

• I will use the seed Kentucky bluegrass1. It fits to my soil characteristics, of moderately

coarse, no slope.2. Its fairly cheap, 1-3lbs per 1000sq ft., we will

need about 2.5 lbs of seeds. It cost $10 for the seed to plant that area. I will buy it from the homedepot.

3. It also can take wear and tear, it will recover fast.

Ground preparation

• To prepare the ground I am going to….

1. I will disk it to bring up the nutrients from lower soil.

2. I will wet the soil a little bit so it’s damp.

3. Plant and water the seeds.

4. I will plant the seeds about quarter of an inch in the ground.

Maintenance

• I will do the following to my lawn.

1. I will water it when it needs it.

2. I will mow it when it needs it.

3. I will spray the weeds with herbicide ( if/when it grows weeds)

Fertilizer

• I will use “Scott’s Turf Builder”

• For greener and thicker lawn

• Can be applied to any type of lawn

• I will apply it when it starts growing in early spring and when it stops growing in late fall.

Irrigation

• I would install an irrigation system before I planted my seeds. It will cost about 3,000 to 4,000 for installation and to buy the equipment

• It would be less expensive to install an irrigation system.

• I will turn on the irrigation system when the seeds need it.

Conclusion

• We are going to plant to plant Kentucky Bluegrass. At Adam’s house.

• Its 100ft long by 70ft wide

• The soil is moderate coarse

• Kentucky Bluegrass is cheap

• Its very common in America

Conclusion

• We will disk the ground to make sure we got all the lumps out

• We will damp the soil so the seeds will have and easier time growing

• We will install and irrigation system so they will get water and a dry arid day.
