Seedbed Preparation | Kansas City Landscaping Supplies
Get your seedbeds ready now-scratch up the surface and remove any thatch or debris. Top 2″ of soil should be loose. Sow seed with spreader or by hand. Keep seed moist. For optimum results use sphagnum peat moss to cover seed. Spread approximately ΒΌ” thick. Use new lawn starter over seed on same day and water in. Fertilizing seed will help seed germinate faster and grow in thicker. Never let your seed dry out. Water at least twice a day approximately 5 -10 minutes a day.

Summer Lawn Watering | Kansas City Landscaping Supply
Hot weather in Kansas City can mean stress for plants. It’s much better for your plants to water deeply every two days than it is to water lightly every day. The exception is container plants or hanging baskets-they will likely still need daily watering. Look for drooping leaves and light colored soil as a sign of needing water.
