Whether you would like to overseed, lay sod, or install turf, a plump lawn starts with good quality compost in order to naturally thrive. Compost contains micronutrients, phosphorous, nitrogen, potassium, and organic matter with microorganisms. All of these are needed for nutrition, drainage, and moisture retention. The best results will be achieved if you aerate your soil first so that the compost will reach the roots faster and more efficiently.
Watering every day for 10 days is very important when compost is added. If possible, choose a week in the spring when rain is expected for several days. Otherwise, you will need to have a sprinkler system or several hoses and a lot of time to water by hand. Take this into consideration before you decide to cover your backyard in compost.
The experts at Urban Lawns can give you a quote to install a sprinkler system, and help you determine how much compost you need. Even though you can buy bags of compost at your local stores, Urban Lawns can have high quality bulk compost delivered to your home by cubic yard and evenly distributed all throughout your garden after aeration with special equipment.
