Begin weed control. Use broadleaf herbicides if the weeds are primarily non-grasses. A non-selective herbicide will kill most green vegetation. This herbicide requires 5 to 14 days for proper function. Provide adequate soil moisture. Wet soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches; then allow the surface to dry until steps 4 and beyond can be done. This may require 1 to 2 days. Do this step when necessary; this will usually be during the summer months. Mow existing lawn very short; to about 1 inch height of cut. This will allow good sunlight levels to reach the soil and encourage faster establishment of new seedings. If you are only intending to remove excess thatch, then the grass does not have to be cut as short as when you are overseeding.

Establish Clear Communication Channels: It's crucial to communicate the safety protocols to every team member before starting the renovation work. Conduct a pre-project meeting to review safety standards, equipment handling procedures, and emergency plans. Regular check-ins throughout the project help reinforce adherence. Lead by Example: As a leader overseeing the work, set the standard by following safety protocols yourself. Demonstrating a commitment to safety encourages the team to adopt the same mindset. Show that safety is non-negotiable and prioritize it in all aspects of the project.
