At Seattle Maintenance Solutions we pride ourselves in Lawn Installation! Over the last 12 years we have developed techniques that have proven themselves over and over again! We install a 30 YEAR LAWN! We are able to install a 30 year lawn by using the following methods: First we send out one of our trained consultants. He will discuss procedures and take a soil test. Taking the soil test allows us to get a picture of the amounts of soil amendments we will need to add to the existing soil. Once we have the soil test complete we will schedule a time to perform the Lawn Install. Then our crews will remove 4inches of existing soil including existing sod. We then apply the proper amount of soil amendments. Next, we rototill the new soil amendments into the old soil. This insures that our base soil will be amended and not affect the new soil which will be installed. Once the soil amendments have been applied we then begin install the new soil. The new soil is mixed at the rate of 1/3 sand, 1/3 manure, 1/3 screened soil. We use this mixture because the manure provides an excellent organic boost, while the sand allows for root growth and drainage, the screened soil provides us with the solid base we will need to provide proper root growth (proper root growth is 4inches). Once we have installed 4 inches of new premium soil, we then level, grade, rake, and roll the soil to get the prefect drainage! We then install Dolomite lime which will also help to boost the growth of the root system for the new lawn as well as help with soil amendment. Once these crucial steps have been completed we will the install the sod and fertilize with a starter fertilizer. You now have a PERFECT lawn install! We provide detailed instructions for the 1st year of care! If you’re interested in growing your new lawn from seed, then we have two options available to you. The first option is seeding. We will install the perfect mixture of seed for your lawn depending on shade, sun, water, and heat exposure. We will then top dress with peat moss and fertilize with a starter fertilizer. The second option is to hydroseed. This application is mainly used when your total turf area is above 4000 square feet. We will measure the area needing the hydroseed and spray a mixture of seeds, wood fiber, and fertilizer on to the existing soil. This creates the perfect blanket for the seed to grow quickly and securely. We hydroseed residential homes, commercial buildings, large lots, sensitive slopes, erosion control areas, freeway shoulders, sports fields, golf courses, bank stabilization, roadways, cutbacks, bio-swales, wetlands, and pastures. Our implemented systems work wonderfully! We pride ourselves on excellent customer service with unparalleled craftmanship, and amazing results!
