Go to a local nursery and ask them. You need help from someone local to your area, to give you the best advice. Let them know what is the issue with your lawn that you want to correct, weeds, brown , sparse , bald spots...
It depends on what the problem is... lawns need a lot of water, so that could be the issue. You may also need to add some grass seed to fill in empty spots. Fall is a great time to do that. Good luck!
we had problems this year with extreme heating and would not spend the several hundred dollars to water the lawn. it was dreadful looking by end of August.
we bought peat-moss, top soil, and grass seed that is called ''water saver grass seed""
put down peat moss, spread grass seeds, and lightly top with topsoil.. good idea to do if you know it is going to rain that week. using your garden hose, gently water a few minutes each day that it didn't rain..
takes about 2 - 3 weeks and we now have a lush green lawn...
yeah, for a couple of months until the snow comes.... but hoping the spring lawn will look good, if not we will repeat process again.
easy and not expensive. good luck hope this is what you were asking help with. if plants, ask your neighbors, they may be willing to share cuttings or extras if they are pruning ...
Im in south afrika very warm weather here. Its start of summer and have lots of weed and strange creeping grass all over. Its not easy to take it out. I need a strong grass that will nominate the weed and this creeping grass. Cant really water a lot there is restriction on watering.
Gotcha. Your drought is worse than ours here in CA. My vote is to go for clover. It will over take most weeds, is soft underfoot and nice to roll around in. Does not need to be mowed as often and is drought tolerant. Adds nutrients back in the soil too. Look around and see if you can find it where you live.
