Peyton Manning and the Broncos will play on new sod this season at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. (John Leyba, The Denver Post)

Can we all agree there have been enough jokes about grass in Colorado over the last year? OK.

This is something more serious, at least as it relates to the states most popular sports team. The Broncos are continuing the final phase of field renovations at Sports Authority Field on Wednesday, installing a new sod surface for the first time since the stadium opened in 2001. The field received criticism early last season following an unprecedented schedule. For the first time in the new stadiums history, the Broncos opened the preseason at home coupled with a soccer exhibition, the CU-CSU game and multiple public Broncos scrimmages because of construction at Dove Valley.

The turf eventually rebounded, looking better later in the season. But some new sod cant hurt, right?

The upgrades to the playing surface began in early February in partnership with Sports Contracting Group (SCG) and Millennium Sports Technologies (MSG). The surface consists of 100 percent Kentucky bluegrass sod grown by Graffs Turf Farms in Fort Morgan. It replaces the original synthetic blend surface used since 2001.

The Denver Outlaws lacrosse team will hold the first game on the field, facing the Charlotte Hounds on May 3.

The decision to redo the grass on the field the Denver Broncos play on came before lastseason started, and its about more than just the appearance, according to Denver Broncos facilities director Zach Myhra.

Our focus is whats below the grass, the 12 or so inches below the field where the roots actually take hold, as well as a warming system, irrigation system and systems of that nature to support what you see on game days, Myhra said.

Theres was no consideration to use any sort of artificial turf because the Broncos have always played on a natural surface.

The Denver Outlaws will be the first to play on the new field during their home opener against the Charlotte Hounds on May 3.

FLORENCE, S.C. Spring weather has people itching to get out and start fertilizing their lawns, but landscapers say hold on, its not quite time.

We get a nice day and people go out, buy fertilizer and put it down, said Brandon Granger, horticulturalist and owner of Florence-based Granger Landscapes. The bad part is, if we have a late freeze, the fertilizer will kill the grass. You need to wait until the grass is all green before fertilizing.

Granger said it is a busy time of year for his company because people are starting to come outside after being cooped up all winter.

Most folks want us to do a spring cleanup and pick up debris and put out pine straw, he said. Flowers and seasonal color we wont start planting till the end of April.

When it comes to lawn care, Clemson Extension agent Tony Melton said, its too late to use weed killer. He said dont do any fertilizing till May.

If you do it too early the nutrients will wash away, Melton said. Its best to just mow down the weeds because its too late to control them. These are cold-weather weeds, so theyll die when it warms up anyway. The best weed control is green grass.

He said its important to apply fertilizer to your lawn when its dry, then water it in or let the rain do it. If it is put on wet grass, fertilizer will cause the grass to burn. Both Melton and Granger agreed that spring fertilizer application will do the trick.

Karen Hatchell-Crawford, who runs Hatchells Landscape with her brother Westin, said if the grass has died it likely wont grow back and you should re-sod those areas. She said its important to get fresh sod, otherwise you dont know how long its been lying around on a pallet.

We get all of our sod fresh, Crawford said. We know when our sod was cut, and it is cut for when we need it.

With people thinking about sprucing up their property, Hatchell Landscape office assistant Chris Williams said she fields many calls from people wanting to get palm trees.

Pee Dee landscapers weigh in on spring lawn care tips

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) March 27, 2015

To address their number one lawn care question which concerns sod and shade issues, Super-Sod spent a year filming this video to explain the complicated dynamics between the light requirements a lawn needs and the shady environment it's often expected to thrive in, be it in dense building or filtered tree shade.

All plants need light to survive. Anytime a sun-loving plant is put in the shade the plant is essentially being put on a diet. Many homeowners try to amend this issue by applying large quantities of fertilizer, but if the plant isnt able to get light then it is not able to feed.

One thing to keep in mind: the human eye is very poor at seeing degrees of shade. We can tell that an area is shaded, but not the amount of shade. Light meters are availale to measure the amount of light filtering into a garden and are useful tools for providing the necessary feedback.

When assessing the amount of shade in an area, the first step is to observe is anything is currently growing in that area. If there is not even a weed growing in the shaded area, chances are, turfgrass will not thrive there. There are other solutions for that dense shade, such as monkey grass, shade-loving shrubs and perennials, and mulch. Alternatively, trees can be limed up to allow more sunlight to reach the grassy lawn below. Cultural practices such as allowing the grass to grow a little longer than usual are explained in Super-Sod's video.

For more information on how to assess shade in your lawn and how to solve the problem, this informative video, Two Views on Shade and Turf, by the turfgrass experts at Super-Sod and the University of Georgia, provides excellent insight.

Super-Sod is a family-run business that employs experts in turf and horticulture. One of their most popular products has been their Soil3 organic compost, delivered in a cubic yard BigYellowBag, which they make partially from composted grass clippings from their sod production. Super-Sod continues to develop new garden products, foster gardening and landscaping, and always seeks to improve their farming practices, technology, environmental stewardship, and employee knowledge.

Has winter's long and drawn-out run this year completely destroyed your soul? Some of us still won't be enjoying spring-like weather for quite a few weeks, so here's a simple way to recreate that feeling indoors. The next time you sit down for a meal, swap in these faux grass placemats that make it feel like you're having a picnic, even while seated at the dining table.

Made from polystyrene so the grass will never die and lose its green lustre, the fake turf can also be easily hand-washed with warm water and dish soap. Because since it's not actually outside, there are no insects, squirrels, or seagulls to clean up any spills or crumbs you leave behind. But at $38 each, you might be better off just grabbing a shovel and cutting your own circular patch of sod from your backyard. [Terrain via The Green Head]

A grounds crew member works on the infield at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. (Jonathan Newton / The Washington Post)

It is by now mid-March, and the impossible has happened: temperatures have warmed, the snow has melted (even in Boston), spring seems possible and even probable, and baseball could, in theory, be played somewhere other than Florida or Arizona. Three weeks from now, every team in baseball will have played at least one game. The expectations will be there: green grass, smooth dirt, Opening Day logos.

If you talk to any groundskeeper across baseball or any professional sport, theyre never going to be happy with the field, said John Turnour, the head groundskeeper at Nationals Park. Certainly, for your home opener, you want to look your best.

And this winter, across what seemed like the forever frozen Northeast, that has presented certain challenges. Groundskeepers, by the nature of their jobs, are obsessed with weather.

Other than my wife, said David Mellor, the head groundskeeper for the Boston Red Sox, the first thing I look at when I wake up is the weather. And other than my wife, the last thing I look at when I go to sleep is the weather.

This winter, neither was a particularly enjoyable way to end one day or start the next. Boston received a record 108.6 inches of snow. Washington endured its coldest February since 1979, then got snow in March. Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York all have outdoor baseball parks, all have grass that needs to grow, all will be hosting games within a month, and none were particularly sunny about the prospect a few weeks ago.

I generally try not to look at the weather during the offseason, Turnour said. I enjoy not looking at it. But unfortunately this year, weve had to start paying attention a lot sooner than what Id like to.

At Nationals Park, thats true not only because of the cold, but because of the fact that the field underwent a complete resodding, finished just Monday. When the Nationals and the District government agreed to use Nationals Park to host the NHLs Winter Classic on Jan. 1, the club knew it would be an opportune time to put in new grass specifically, 100,000 square feet of Kentucky bluegrass over the entire playing surface. The old field had endured four seasons, so it was time for a new one anyway.

Its a very straightforward project, Turnour said, and he and his crew as well as an outside contractor hired to do the work began the work Feb. 9. They needed, Turnour said, somewhere between 14 and 21 days to fully strip the old grass, grade out the root zone effectively lowering the field a bit and then regressing. When the winter began, March 1 was the target date to have the new field in.

Its not complicated by any means, he said.
