How to properly maintain your lawn? (General information)

Maintaining a lawn can sometimes be a lot of work. However, depending on the seeding method chosen, the attention and time required can vary greatly.

  • Sowing by yourself : Although this option has the advantage of being the most economical, it is also the one that will require the most work, maintenance and patience.
  • Turf (peat) : A popular choice for its very rapid results, laying turf nevertheless requires a considerable level of maintenance, requiring in particular frequent and abundant watering to prevent drying out.
  • Hydroseeding : Of these three options, hydroseeding is by far the least maintenance- intensive. Its mulch mix naturally retains soil moisture and promotes seed germination , thus limiting the level of watering and promoting faster and more uniform growth.
