Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

  • We just bought a new house that has been vacant for 2 years, the front lawn is sod that has dried up from not watering. Can it be saved by fertilizing and watering, or should we have it re-sod again? Which would be cheaper? We live in Central California.

    Lawn Questions

    I would recommend watering the lawn to see if it perks back up. If the lawn isn't dead you're much better off just bringing the existing lawn back. Sodding is pretty expensive. If you do have the lawn replaced it shouldnt' be done until spring anyway, so you have some time to see if the current grass is still alive. We recommend putting down a good organic fertilizer along with a half inch of compost as a top dressing.
