Scalping Your Winter Rye

Some people that move to the Valley of the Sun don't believe that lawns actually exist. Let us put your mind at ease, "Yes, even us desert-goers have lawns!" It just takes intentional care and knowledge about how to best manage your winter and summer lawns. 

Since winter has came and went, we want to insure you have a good over-seed for the summer.  We will need to eliminate the competition of your winter lawn and reduce the thatch that has accumulated over the winter. We get many questions about the right time to scalp the winter rye in order to get a lush summer lawn. We have an answer! When it consistently his 60% in the evening, we would like to shut off the timer on your water box. We do this in order to dry out your lawn. Once we turn off the water and dry out your lawn, we can continue the preparation for the scalping and over-seeding process. We want the seeds to reach the soil, or all the over-seeding efforts will be ineffective.  That means, you need your lawn specifically cut/scalped in order for the seeds to be put to use. If it is done right, you will have a healthy and rich summer grass! 

We, as landscape specialists, know that it is important to not only know how to dry out and cut the winter rye, but to also understand the type of seed we purchase and plant in your yard. We find what works best with the Arizona desert climate. We choose the better quality seed in order to create the most affective summer lawn. Something lush and beautiful, but more importantly, something usable. 

Stark Contrast Landscaping can help you grow a lawn that is functional for your family and friends to use. We can cut your winter rye, over-seed and maintain your residential or commercial landscaping. For more information on our affordable pricing, please contact us today.
