Two Ways to Install a New Lawn Seeding - the preferred method of establishing a lawn: half the cost of sod many wonderful seed blends available for any type of condition hydro seeding drop seeding Sodding - when there is no time to wait for that instant green carpet: highly perishable requires 2 weeks of concentrated heavy watering after installation to assure its success NOTE: Watering is the key!! Whether seed or sod, once installed it is imperative you maintain moisture in the soil for optimum results.

Preparation

The preparation for your new lawn is the hardest part of the job. Proper grading is imperative for a long term properly drained and easy mowing lawn. New lawn installation may include any of the following:

Spring and summer lawn installations are fine, but weeds are more rampant, and the heat and frequent summer droughts require constant watering while new grass plants are germinating.

LAWN RENOVATION

Over the years, lawns can become weaker due to soil compaction, thatch build up, the aftermath of disease or insect problems or a variety of conditions. When a lawn has been underperforming, and fertilizer and water do not seem to help, it may be time to consider lawn renovation. Lawn renovation techniques can provide a simpler way to restore the grass plants health and vigor, and save you from tearing out the existing lawn and starting over. Homeland Scapes uses the following techniques in our lawn renovation projects either alone or in combination with another.

Lawn Renovation Techniques: Core aeration – removes small grass plugs so that nutrients, moisture and air have more access to the grass roots causing improvement in lawn performance. Verticutting – Slice seeding – A machine is passed over the lawn in a criss-cross pattern scarifying the soil surface as it moves along. The machine drops seed and incorporates the seed into the soil surface. Fertilizer is applied. Top dressing/Over-seeding – A thin layer of soil is applied over the top of an existing lawn. Seed and fertilizer are incorporated. Thatching Fertilization Weed control Insect monitoring

Decks – Patios  –  Flagstone – Brick – Concrete – And  More…

The specialized staff that performs the work for decks and patios ensures you will be able to rely on years of trouble free use.  It takes the professional skills of Homeland Scapes to use correct materials and properly lay brick and stone.  We know to use paving bricks and not regular bricks. Pavers are resistant to spalling - flaking caused by moisture and cold. Modular bricks are even better and are recommended in areas that will be traveled by heavy vehicles.

The use of concrete pavers, often referred to as paving stones, is growing rapidly on both commercial and residential construction projects. Pavers interlock together to form a patterned surface which can be put into service immediately. Pavers are manufactured in various textures and colors. A big benefit of pavers is that they can be removed and re-installed, which reduces future service interruptions.

We ensure any edging is installed at ground level. Depending on the desired look, this can be done with edging boards treated with wood preservative or additional bricks. Wood is supported with deep-driven stakes; brick should be set in a solid foundation to keep the sand and gravel from spreading below the pavers.

It is not uncommon for homeowners to want options for their deck. They want to create' spaces that reflect their own tastes and styles and not the cookie cutter replicas of their neighbors. Homeland Scapes will help you design a deck that meets your needs.

If you are looking for the luxury of low maintenance decks, you should consider alternative materials for decks. Synthetic materials for decks are a rapidly growing alternative to wood in the deck industry today.

Creating an evening mood of class and style is not easy to achieve on a deck. This novel idea of lighting is changing the way decks are enjoyed during the evening hours.  Be certain to ask about our design plans to bring light to your deck for beauty as well as safety reasons.

Seeding – Sod – And More….

After ten years working for one of the most successful sod growers in the North East, Mario and his crew have learned how to properly work with different varieties of seed mixtures and be involved in the process of maintaining thousands of acres to keep up with the demands of the marketplace. We are pleased to put that experience in our company with a great product and continue with the proper care to ensure homeowners and the general public enjoys the benefits of turf grass.

Homeland Scapes specializes in sod installation for residential, Sports fields, and major commercial areas. From 2005 to today, Homeland Scapes has installed sod for many different highly public areas such as Washington Monument (D.C), Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Schools, Parks, Stadiums and Soccer fields, just to mention a few.

Consider this testimonial from just two of our satisfied customers:

Hello Mario,
This year, I would like to continue the full lawn service plan with fertilizer, mowing, edging, reseeding, aeration, etc. I would also like the spring and summer annuals planted but not the fall annuals.

Some feedback:
I LOVE the landscaping you did for my home last year. Your designs are very artistic.  I didn’t provide much input; I just went with whatever you recommended.  It is a good thing too, because I would never have thought of your creations.  You have an excellent way of supervising the work as well.

The people you employ to spread the mulch are wonderful – the mulch is so level and uniform.  The mulch itself looks picture perfect. In fact, I think that attention to detail in the mulch makes so much difference in the overall lawn appearance.

Thanks
Gloria Williams

Mario,
