arewelltakencareofunarguablyaddandprotectvalue.But,whatabouteverythingelseinthecommunity?

There’s a value proposition in the intangible. I came up here ona Sunday afternoon with my husband while training for my firsttriathlon.IhadtologsomemilesonthebikeandIhadnotyetbikedthe Discovery Trail and wanted to see what the community waslikewhenIwasn’tusuallyheretoseeit.TheDiscoveryTraillookedamazingand,inandofitself,addstothecommunityandthevalueof the homes. That wasn’t what stuck out to me that afternoon,though.

It was a small group of kids at the entrance to Sandstone Passselling lemonade in 100-plus degree heat. It was everyone thatwavedbackatmewhenwepassedthem. ItwastwogirlsattheMountainVistaClubpracticingvolleyballdrillsamidst thenoiseofkidshavingfunatthepool.

Robert Putnam, Harvard professor and author of Bowling Alone,once said that community happens when local people gather.

are sure that you will love the results. If you have any questionsorneedassistancewithplantingormaintaining yourwinter lawn,pleasecontactus.

Steps to Over-Seed Your LawnStep 1 - TransitioningToinsureagoodover-seed,youneedtoeliminatethecompetitionofyoursummerlawnandreducethethatchthathasaccumulatedover the summer. This is accomplished by transitioning and de-thatching,whichistheremovalofleafandthatchaccumulationtoensuretheseedgetsdowntothesoil.

First, drop your mowing height down to 1⁄4” - 1⁄2”. This shouldremoveallofthegreentissueinthisprocess.Youmayhavetomowyourlawn2or3timestoaccomplishthis.Collectandremovealloftheclippings.

Ifyoustillhave toomuch thatch,youmayneed to renta“powerrake”.Thisisamachinewithbladesthatwillquicklyloosenandrakethe thatch.Rakeyour lawn in2directionswith the “power rake”,mowonemoretimeandthencollecttheclippings.Youshouldnowhavealawnthatisverybrown,with1⁄4’to1⁄2”ofstubble,anetworkof“runners”onthesurface(abovegroundstolons),andjustalittlebitofsoilshowingthrough.Youarenowreadytoseed.

Step 2 - SeedingThebetterqualityyourgrassseed,thebetterqualityyourlawnwillbe. We recommend grasses that are suited for Arizona’s desertclimatesuchasperennialryegrass.

Dependingonhowlushyoupreferyourlawnandthetypicalgrassheightyouareplanning,theamountofseedthatyouwillneedvaries:

• HomeLawns(1”-2”)—12poundsper1,000squarefeet

Step 3 - FertilizeBe sure to fertilize with a starter fertilizer before turning on yourwater. The analysis should be similar to a 6-20-20 (6% nitrogen,20% phosphorus, 20% potassium) or 15-15-15 (15% each ofnitrogen,phosphorusandpotassium)mix.Followthemanufacturer’sdirectionsonthebagforfertilizing.Checkoutourfertilizerguidetolearnwhatallthesenumbersmeanonthefertilizerbag,soyoucanbesureyouaremakingtherightchoice.
