Will grass grow back after grass killer?
Using a grass killer to remove grass from areas that it is undesirable is a wonderful way to have it removed without having to remove or dig it up. Then there are those moments when you want the grass to grow back in that area or the grass killer was sprayed accidentally and you really want the grass to grow back. Is there hope? Will grass grow back after the grass killer has been applied?
We are the lawn service provider that is able to restore the grass in those spots and more. To be able to have the grass grow again in that area you have to understand what the grass killer did to the grass and how we will repair it. Grass killer works to destroy the grass from the interlopers up. It uses a herbicide to kill the roots and slowly it turns brown. Once it is brown that seed has been killed. If you are looking to restore those areas, you have come to the right place. We are the grass service providers that you have been searching for. We can repair that spot and have it looking like no damage was done before.
The first step that we take is to remove all the dead grass from the area along with any debris that has been left behind. It is important to remove as much of any of the dead materials as possible to ensure that the new seeds can work to repair the spot that was brown. We remove the dead grass and debris with hoes and metal rakes. The spot is completely cleaned down to the soil. Once the soil is exposed we are able to loosen and break up the soil. We work the soil and break it down about two inches below the surface. This allows the new seeds to be able to germinate with the least resistance. Solid earth material is very hard for grass seedlings to germinate in. Now the grass is removed and the soil has been prepared it is time to clean up all the dead grass and debris. We remove all the debris from the lawn and take it along with us for disposal.
Once that the clean up has occurred it is time for us to mow the grass all around the area the cleaned out spot. We mow it down to about one inch around the spot. When the grass around the cleared area has been mowed down it ensures that the new seed that is able to be placed will receive as much water and sun as possible. These conditions, allow the new grass to have the best chances to grow strong roots.
Even though it would seem like the next step would be to add the new seed, the next step is one of the most important steps to this process. This is where we add compost to the cleared area. We then work the compost into the existing soil that has been broken up. The rich layer of compost repairs the nutrients to the soil that were removed by the grass killer if need we also add a mixed fertilizer to the soil to help encourage those new seeds to root strongly. We really work to repair the soil first, then repair the grass. The seeds requires a foundation that is free of herbicides to be able to thrive. This process is very important in countering the effects of the grass killer.
Now comes the best part of the process, it is time for us to plant the new seed. If the cleared area is small this process can be completed by hand, if not a grass spreader is used. Either way, we spread the seeds out twice, once each way to ensure that the soil has been covered. Then after the seeds have been placed we cover the seedlings with a natural covering of your choice. Mulch, straw, hay, or grass clippings can be used.
The last step in the process is to water the seedlings until they are well established. This can take up to two weeks to happen, but it is very important that the soil does not dry out during this stage. Having moist soil is an important part of the growing process. Once the grass reaches around three inches we will be able to mow this area right along with the rest of the lawn.
