Restore Yard Appeal after Stump Grinding

Getting your stump removed from the yard is an excellent way to improve the appearance of your home. It adds a better look of your landscape and can increase the value of your home if it's done properly. But it's not the last step you must take to get rid of that stump to make your yard look the best. You still have to show a bit of love of your landscape while starting for stump grinding. Here are some things you should care about after letting the old stump get rid of your local tree service.

Below are some things to do if you remove your stump.

Equipment

You will like to do a few things before you start working in your farm: rake, grass seeds, cutters/saw, and topsoil.

No Debris

You will need to remove all the debris left inside your stump if you want your exterior area to appear as before. Grass doesn't grow on wood chips, so first of all, clear it all with your rake. Cut it with your clippers or saw if you have exposed roots.

Add Soil

Cover the hole around your lawn up to the same height. It might take some high soil bags. Make sure the soil is not clumped together. Even the dirt is gone, but leaves a few inches and it can lie down when you start watering.

Cultivation

You want to obtain good coverage as you spread the grass seed by hand. The way you toss the seeds is crucified. Make sure that you use a large quantity per inch.

Build the Soil

Push the seeds into the soil once you are satisfied with your application. This is done by raising the seeds into the high ground. Then set on top a quarter of the soil. You can use peat moss rather than soil.

Maintenance

The grass will not grow if the area is dry. You don't want to water too much, on the other hand, and wash away the grains. Water your seeds and soil. This moisturizes the soil.

Clean up

Although your stump grinding service can pull off your property the stump and large pieces of wood or tree, you will still need to clear the waste in the yard. In most cases, the stump is filled with wood cavities, twigs and dirt clod. You can also see rocks and clay pieces brought by the roots to the surface.

Be Creative

The most common choice is to add new grass, but not the only one that you can choose after you have removed a stump. Consider planting a new tree where the old one stood, instead of making your lawn bigger.

If you do this, all the remaining roots of the hole must be removed. You’re also going to remove any big blocks or rocks in the area. This may hamper the establishment of roots and stability in the soil by new trees.

Spread Grass Seeds

When it appears to be too much work to plant a tree, grass is a great alternative. You can spread the grass seed by hand because you are covering a small area. Try choosing a type of grass that fits in with what you have in your yard. Ask a landscape professional for help if you're not sure. A good seed for your yard will be recommended.
