Lawn establishment on Martha’s Vineyard involves more preparation than most mainland projects. Sandy soils need organic amendment and starter fertilization to give new turf a foundation to root into. Soil pH typically runs slightly acidic, which suits grass species selected for coastal New England. Irrigation timing is critical during the establishment window – new sod and hydroseeded areas need consistent moisture through the first four to six weeks regardless of rainfall.
