Why take care of the lawn?
The lawn is the heart of the garden: it welcomes play, relaxation, and outdoor activities, and it adds order and beauty to outdoor spaces. But having a healthy, lush lawn isn't just a matter of aesthetics: it improves soil quality, water absorption, and even the surrounding air temperature.
With spring on the way, it's the perfect time to start or renovate your lawn. But what are the basic steps to lawn care?
1. Soil preparation - Before sowing or reseeding, the soil should be aerated and thoroughly worked. Remove any debris, stones, or weeds and ensure the soil is well-drained. Level the surface if necessary.
2. Choosing the right seed - Every lawn has its own needs. The choice of seed mix depends on factors such as exposure to sun or shade, soil type,
climate of the area, intended use (recreational garden, ornamental area, high traffic areas).
👉🏼 At Bricohome you can find professional mixes designed for every need, from ornamental lawns to more resistant ones for busy gardens.
3. Sowing and watering - Sow during the ideal months (spring or late summer), distributing the seeds evenly. After sowing, roll lightly and water gently and regularly until germination occurs.
4. Fertilization and nutrition - A beautiful lawn is a nourished lawn. Use specific fertilizers in spring and fall, choosing products rich in nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus to strengthen the roots and promote growth.
5. Continuous maintenance - Mow the lawn regularly, keeping it between 4 and 6 cm high. Remove weeds and aerate periodically to promote soil oxygenation.
Whether you're creating a lawn from scratch or looking to improve your existing one, the right time to start is now. Nature gives you the time, Bricohome gives you the tools.
