How Do You Protect Grass From An Outdoor Swing Set?
Protect grass from an outdoor swing set by regularly over-seeding the area with a wear-resistant grass and providing favorable conditions for the growth of grass. Grass growth around a swing set is encumbered by high levels of foot traffic, causing sparse areas and bare patches of grass growth. Optimize grass growth in this challenging environment by increasing the top soil’s pH balance, watering regularly, and improving direct sunlight on the area. Rake the grass underneath and around the swing set area clear of rocks and organic debris using a flexible, metal rake. Over-seed the swing-set area with a wear-resistant grass seed using a fertilizer spreader. Use one pound of grass seed around and under a typical swing-set area. Sprinkle a very light (1/12 inch) layer of lawn lime over the grass seed using a fertilizer spreader. Lime will improve soil productivity over time by increasing the top soil’s pH balance. Add a 1/4-inch layer of clean compost or peat moss fertilizer over the lime
