Pasture Management & Care - FAQ

Pasture management includes soil care, weed control, forage improvement, and grazing strategies that keep land productive, safe, and sustainable for horses and livestock.

Pastures should be evaluated at least twice per year to identify soil compaction, weed growth, forage quality issues, and drainage concerns.

Cool-season grasses like orchardgrass, timothy, Kentucky bluegrass, and endophyte-free tall fescue perform exceptionally well in this region’s climate.

Rotational grazing prevents overgrazing, protects root systems, increases forage yield, allows for natural recovery, and extends the life of the pasture.

Signs include thin turf, standing water, heavy weed pressure, compacted soil, and slow regrowth after grazing.

Aeration relieves soil compaction, improves drainage, stimulates root growth, and helps forage recover after grazing.

Early fall is ideal, when soil temperatures support germination and weed pressure is lower. Spring overseeding is also effective for bare areas.

Targeted herbicide applications, mowing, rotational grazing, and improving soil fertility all help suppress weeds while protecting good forage.

Yes. Buttercup, milkweed, nightshade, and horsenettle frequently appear in local pastures and should be addressed immediately to protect animals. Foxtail, alfalfa, and other grasses can also be detrimental to equestrian grazing and cause cuts in the mouth or be difficult to digest.

Mud control mats, heavy-use pads, proper grading, and drainage improvements significantly reduce hoof damage and pasture degradation.

Soil tests ensure the correct balance of nutrients and pH, allowing precise fertilization that promotes strong forage and reduces weeds.

Most pastures benefit from annual or bi-annual fertilization, depending on forage species, soil quality, and grazing pressure.

We use low-impact, pasture-safe equipment designed to reduce compaction, protect root zones, and deliver consistent, professional results.

Hoof traffic, vehicles, and repeated grazing patterns compact the soil. Aeration and rotational use typically resolve compaction issues.

Hot, humid summers increase the risk of fungal diseases, while heavy spring rains reduce footing stability. Proper management helps the pasture withstand seasonal stress.

Yes. Overgrazing weakens root systems, increases erosion, and gives weeds a competitive advantage. Rotational grazing prevents long-term damage.

A sacrifice area is a designated dry lot used during wet seasons or drought. It protects the main pastures from hoof damage and overgrazing.

Many renovations—like targeted spot overseeding and soil treatments—can be done while still allowing controlled grazing. Full renovations may require short-term rest.

Contact Renew Turf Science for a site evaluation. Our team will assess soil conditions, forage quality, drainage, and grazing patterns to build a tailored plan that supports your long-term goals.

Aeration, overseeding, improving drainage, and adjusting grazing pressure help restore worn-out areas near gates, fences, and feeding stations.
