New Lawn Installations in Wallingford, CT

• Site Preparation: This involves clearing the area of debris, weeds, and old grass. The soil is then graded to ensure proper drainage.
• Soil Testing and Amendment: The soil is tested for pH, nutrients, and texture. Based on the results, soil amendments like compost, fertilizers, or lime might be added to improve soil quality.
• Lawn Installation: There are different methods for installing a new lawn:
  • Sod Installation: Pre-grown grass is rolled out like a carpet over the prepared soil. It provides an instant lawn but can be more expensive.
  • Seeding: Grass seeds are spread evenly over the soil. It’s a more affordable option but takes longer to establish.
  • Hydroseeding: A slurry of seeds, mulch, and water is sprayed over the soil, which can be faster and more uniform than traditional seeding.
• Watering and Initial Care: After installation, the new lawn requires regular watering, fertilizing, and sometimes mowing until it’s established.

• Soil Preparation: Similar to lawn installation, the soil is prepared by testing and amending as necessary to suit the types of plants being installed.
• Plant Selection: Plants are chosen based on the climate, soil conditions, sunlight availability, and aesthetic preferences. These can include trees, shrubs, flowers, and ground cover.
• Planting: The plants are carefully positioned and planted according to the design plan. This may include adding mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Irrigation Installation: An irrigation system may be installed to ensure that plants receive the right amount of water.
