4.I’m planning a new lawn. Should I plant grass seed or lay sod?
Although lawns grown from seed require a great deal of work to install and even more care to establish, they do have a few advantages over sod. First, seeded lawns are much less expensive to plant. And the wide variety of seed available allows you to choose the grass that will do the best in the soil and sunlight conditions of your property.
Also, because seeded lawns establish deep roots, they’re generally more durable than sod for heavy traffic use and are likely to last longer. However, it takes much more time to create a seeded lawn, including several weeks of keeping the ground moist and weed free while the grass spouts and grows.
The primary advantage to sod is its easy installation. It doesn’t demand much care to establish itself and you don’t have to fight weeds, seedling diseases, washouts, or seed-eating birds, as you do with seeded lawns. In fact, when you lay sod, you bury the weed seeds already in the soil. Another persuasive argument for sod is that it gives you a lush green lawn immediately. With the high temperatures and dry climate we experience in San Diego, we recommend sod over seeding.

5.How can I make my landscape look its best and still conserve water?
Louisville Kentucky landscapes should be designed to be as water thrifty as possible. Here are three guidelines to consider when planning your landscape.
Use water-conserving plants: Some plants don’t need a lot of water to survive; others perform better with less. You can find water-thrifty trees, shrubs, flowering plants, and ground covers for your landscape. The key is to choose plants that are well adapted to the natural conditions of your surroundings.
Group plants wisely: Place thirsty plants together and drought-resistant plants elsewhere. Then put plants that need regular watering on a separate irrigation zones and schedule.
