KC METRO Grass Lawns – As Green As It Can Get!
Looking back at the 1960s and '70s in the Kansas City metro area, the greenness of our lawns was not as important as it has evolved to be in the past 30 years or so. People have been putting much more money, effort and time into creating better lawns with all the professional lawn treatment services that are offered. People want garden lawns as flawless and carpeted as a golf course. A few weeks of rain is all it takes the lawns for a burst of green, requiring you to be mowing on a regular basis. If you are still planning to put in a new lawn, this is your last chance to sod or seed before fall. The use of a high nitrogen feeder would encourage greening but never let your lawn grow too tall between mowing. If you cannot get to it in time, set your mower high and then cut again on a lower setting. It is necessary to top dress and reseed bare spots in established lawns. Rake hard and add a thin layer of compost, spread seed lightly over the entire area and sprinkle another thin layer of compost. Be sure to use a lawn seed that is clearly marked for planting in the Kansas or Missouri (Midwest) area.
