FAQs

Q. What types of grass seed are best suited for dry and sandy soils?

A. We recommend drought-resistant grass varieties such as Tall Fescue and Red Fescue species, which are well-suited for dry and sandy soil conditions.

Q. How often should I water my lawn with dry and sandy soil?

A. In dry and sandy soils, it’s essential to water deeply but infrequently. Aim for approximately 1 inch of water per week, applied in one or two deep watering sessions rather than frequent shallow watering.

Q. Can I use fertilisers on my lawn in sandy soil areas?

A. Yes, fertilisers can be beneficial for sandy soils, but choose a slow-release or organic fertilizer to improve nutrient retention in the soil. Follow recommended application rates for best results.

Q. Is it necessary to aerate my lawn in sandy soil conditions?

A. Aeration can help improve water and nutrient penetration in sandy soils. It’s recommended to aerate your lawn every 1-2 years, preferably in the early spring or fall.

Q. Are there any specific lawn care practices for preventing soil erosion in sandy soils?

To prevent soil erosion, consider planting ground cover plants or using mulch to stabilise the soil. Additionally, maintaining healthy grass with deep roots can help anchor the soil and reduce erosion risk.

Q. How long does it typically take for grass to establish in dry and sandy soils?

A. The time it takes for grass to establish can vary depending on factors like the grass variety and weather conditions. Generally, you can expect to see significant growth within 2-4 weeks, with full establishment taking several months.
