Almost everyone knows how to cut their own grass. But when you think about keeping up with technology and innovation, you usually don’t think it applies to…. grass seed.

G&G Lawn & Tree is always finding out what’s new in lawn care, which is how we found out about XCD coating technology. Coated grass seed means a better chance of grass seed survival. With smarter seed, you can significantly increase the chances of seedling survival. This is critical in the St. Louis-area climate because of our harsh winters and unpredictable springs.

Coated seed help seedlings in two main ways.

First, the coated grass seed doesn’t disappear as the seed grows, it lasts in the soil. Because the coating stays, the roots can stay wet and use the added moisture from the coating to germinate, grow roots, and grow into a mature, healthy plant.

Second, the beneficial additives in the coating work to protect the seedlings against diseases. It also helps to make sure seedlings have the nutrients they need to begin development.

This is why G&G has made the switch to using higher quality coated grass seed. We want every lawn we take care of to be healthy and strong. As professional landscapers we know you expect the very best in service and in the products we use.

Fall is the best time to give your own lawn some major TLC to stay healthy. It’s recommended that lawns be aerated and seeded in autumn. This allows lawns to “breathe”, and seeds and nutrients to penetrate overly compacted soil areas. Then, new seeds are established to grow into and bare patches to create a dense thick layer of grass. When your grass is lush and full, weeds won’t be able to find a place to grow!

As a locally owned and operated landscaping company, we rely on other small businesses who care about the best in lawn care and lawn care products. Advanced Turf and Scott’s Power Equipment are both St. Louis-area companies that we work with to bring you the very best in lawn mowing and lawn care in the area.
