Topdressing The Southern Lawn
Soil under turfgrass stays soft and fertile only if it gets an annual supplement of organic material. Virtually invisible, this finely chopped organic material decomposes on the soil where rain and earthworms eventually pull it into the root zone to become food for the soil organisms.

Mulching The Lawn
So are the finely chopped leaves from a mulching mower that is run over a leaf-strewn lawn in the fall. Check sod for an overly thick thatch layer before purchase for patching and renovating the lawn.

Doing The Overseeding Job
The first rule of choosing grass seed is to buy the highest quality that you can find on the shelf. For fall overseeding you may want to match the type of grass you already have, so the lawn’s color and appearance will be uniform.

Other Tasks For Southern Lawns
The air has been compressed from it by foot traffic and lawn care equipment and its organic matter has long since disappeared. Grass suffers because the roots cannot penetrate this soil and they end up stunted and concentrated near its surface.

Preparing to Renovate Over Dead Turf
Since renovation basically starts from scratch, the first step is to kill all the existing grass and weeds in your lawn with a burndown herbicide such as RoundUpä which kills their roots too.
