St. Augustine Sod

Almost everyone wants a beautiful, green lawn in South Florida, but the tropical climate and sandy soil can sometimes make that a difficult task. Your sod grass needs the proper irrigation, sunlight and nutrients to thrive. It also needs to be protected from pests and weed infestations to keep it looking great. So let’s start with some basics on how to make your Palm Beach County lawn lush, green and the envy of the neighborhood.

Have Your Soil Tested

Your soil is the source of your lawn’s nutrients and it needs to be tested. You need to find out what nutrients your soil is abundant with and which ones are lacking. In South Florida, it is generally recommended to have soil with a neutral pH between 5.5 and 7.0. Soil tests can also detect diseases that can’t be determined by the naked eye. A soil amendment could be very beneficial in certain circumstances.

Check Your Irrigation System

Make sure your irrigation system is working properly and try to run it in the early morning hours. This gives the grass time to naturally dry and can help avoid problems with lawn fungus diseases.

Control Weeds & Lawn Pests

If you don’t control weeds and lawn pests, then everything else will be a waste of time. Yes, a healthy strong lawn will help push out weeds by reducing bald spots and a healthy lawn is more resistant to pest infestations, but you still need to take care of major infestations before you are going to get a beautiful, lush green lawn. Chinch bug infestations can ruin your lawn and cost South Florida homeowners millions of dollars each year. Spotting weed infestations and lawn pests early is the best way to prevent a major problem down the road.

Proper Lawn Fertilization

Proper lawn fertilization is also key to a healthy, green Palm Beach County lawn. The type of fertilizer you use is dependent on what sod grass you have and what nutrients your soil is lacking. There are literally hundreds of different products to choose from, so if you are going to do this on your own, do your homework. There are also various times of the year when it is best to fertilize your particular sod grass. It’s just not as simple as many people believe it to be.
