How To Make A Sustainable Lawn | WestTurf Texas

How To Make A Sustainable Lawn

• The path to a sustainable, healthy beautiful
  lawn is regenerative soil health

2
Plug Aeration

• Plug aeration reduces soil density and
  compaction. It opens up the soil so that water
  infiltrates more and runs off less. Your
  treatments stay in your soil and out of our
  waterways. It improves root zone oxygenation and
  is a requirement for regeneration as it allows
  our amendments to mix in better.

Turf, Tree, Ornamental Fertilization

• Our mainstay is natural slow-release
  fertilization to include different manure and
  biosolid blends. These mixes increase microbial
  volume in the soil. Microbes process nutrients
  in a way that makes them more available to the
  plant. Therefore, after time on our programs,
  your lawn will require less intensive
  fertilization than when first starting out.
  Natural fertilizers bring the earthworms.
  Earthworms act as your personal cultivars who
  work constantly to keep your soil conditioned and
  healthy.

Weed Control

• AreLawns new to our program tend to require more
  weed control when compared to matured soils. We
  rely heavily on pre-emergent herbicides year
  around. Post-emergents require less intensive
  dosing and eventually only spot spraying. We
  partner with Cornell University to identify
  herbicides that impact the environment the least
  while maintaining high efficacy.

5
Insect Disease Control

• We have treatments for acute disease and insect
  infestations. Healthy lawns occasionally have
  chinch bug, grub or other issues. The difference
  is less observable damage time until recovery.
  The Houston area lawns are susceptible to fungal
  infections and usually require prevention and
  treatment. Fire ants are a painful nuisance. We
  have solutions available to drastically reduce
  your exposure to bites and mounds.

6
Natural Soil Amendments

• Compost and humic acid does wonders for soil
  biology. Both have the ability to increase
  microbial density, cation exchange rates,
  nutritional availability and soil water
  infiltration. In sandy soils humic acid
  increases water holding. Compost is beneficial
  bacteria, fertilizer and rich soil all rolled
  into one product. It can turbo charge the
  appearance and health of your lawn. Its also a
  biological approach to thatch reduction.
