New Lawn Ottawa solves lawn problems quickly and permanentl­y

-

There is one good thing to be said about winter: The snow hides just how straggly, patchy and weed-ridden your lawn has become!

Add the fact that bans on many dandelion-killing herbicides have allowed the yellow-headed invaders to colonize residentia­l Ottawa, and a homeowner can be forgiven for wanting to give up and pave their lawns with asphalt. But don’t despair: Thanks to New Lawn Ottawa, you can once again enjoy a lush, weed-free lawn.

“The best way to deal with a scraggly, sick lawn is to pull it out and start again,” said New Lawn Ottawa owner Conor McVeigh. “At New Lawn Ottawa, that’s exactly what we do. We remove your old grass, and then put down healthy new locally-grown sod to give you a golf course-quality lawn in just a few days’ time — or less!”

Here’s how New Lawn Ottawa does it. First, the company’s skilled gardeners come to your home and dig out the old lawn completely, weeds and all. The green waste is then trucked away, never to blight your vision again.

Next, New Lawn Ottawa prepares your yard to properly support a healthy lawn by adding approximat­ely three inches of fresh, screened, residentia­l topsoil to your yard. “One reason why so many lawns do poorly is because developers don’t put down enough topsoil for them to thrive,” McVeigh said. “We remedy that problem.” New Lawn Ottawa also ensures that the site’s grade conforms to any city approved drainage plans and that water runs away from the foundation of the house, adding or removing soil on site to make this happen.

When it comes to placing their top quality sod on your land, New Lawn Ottawa lays the rolls parallel to the road or back fence, and staggers the joints to ensure the best fit and look. “We take great care to make sure that there are no gaps between the sod pieces so they grow together quickly, and roll the seams flat,” said McVeigh. “Our goal is for your lawn to take hold quickly, and then thrive for years to come.”

Once your new lawn is in place, “we recommend two hours of watering right after the sod is installed, then half an hour to an hour a day for two weeks going forward, including the edges,” he said. “Of course, we adjust this schedule to account for rain.”

With New Lawn Ottawa’s help, you too can have a thick, healthy lawn that looks great, is easy to maintain and will be the envy of your neighbours. Find out how at www.newlawnott­awa.com, info@ newlawnott­awa.com, 613-680-0779.
