Study Notes
Lawn Renovation and Repair
- Sodding: Laying down pre-grown grass patches or rolls; instant results for larger bare areas
- Plugging: Planting small grass patches from healthy areas; plugs spaced 6-12 inches apart
- Reseeding: Planting grass seed in bare areas; choose suitable species for region and conditions
- Watering: Daily, 15-20 minutes; important after overseeding to keep the seed moist
- Fertilization: Proper fertilization supports seed growth and development; use slow-release fertilizer
- Core Aeration: Improves soil drainage, reduces diseases, allows water and nutrients to penetrate deeper
- Mowing: Regular mowing with a sharp blade; remove no more than 1/3 of the grass blade at each mowing
Recommended Mowing Height
- Common Bermudagrass: 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches
- Hybrid Bermudagrass: 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches
