Clay soil can be challenging for lawn drainage. Improving it ensures healthier grass. Here’s how:
- Aeration: Use a core aerator to create holes in the soil, enhancing water absorption.
- Organic Matter: Mix compost or aged manure into the soil to improve structure and drainage.
- Sand Addition: Incorporate coarse sand to break up clay particles and facilitate water movement.
- Proper Grading: Ensure your lawn slopes away from buildings for natural runoff.
- Drainage Channels: Install French drains or dry creek beds to redirect excess water.
Follow these steps to transform your clay soil lawn into a healthy, lush green space.
