This is an example of a traditional landscaping in San Francisco.

We get a lot of questions about what's involved with growing grass, about how to fix bare spots in lawns and about when is the best time to plant grass. When you get right down to it, growing grass is really simple if you follow a few basic rules. Use high quality grass seed and make sure the grass seeds gets worked into the soil, use the right type of slow release fertilizer, give the seed something nutritious to grow in (like the compost/topsoil mixture pictured below) and provide ample amounts of water and sun... okay, you're really only responsible for the water, not so much the sun. If you do all of these things you can really grow grass just about anywhere. On the other hand, if you would rather spend your Saturdays doing more enjoying of your lawn rather than working on your lawn, give us a call or send us a message and let us take care of repairing the problem areas in your lawn for you.
