Care & Maintenance
Watering
Thoroughly water lawn within 1/2 hour of installation. Continue to water daily or more if necessary to keep turf moist until it is firmly rooted to soil (about 2 weeks).
After this time, begin less frequent and deeper waterings.
Mowing and Trimming
Your new lawn significantly increases your property value. To protect this valuable asset, proper lawn maintenance is a must.
-
Mow often, but remove no more than 1/3 of the
grass height at a time. -
Always keep mower blades sharp and mower engine tuned.
This will provide a cleaner cut and a well-tuned engine produces fewer emissions. -
Mow more frequently during peak growing seasons.
-
To keep lawn healthy remove clippings to a compost pile.
-
Avoid using mulching mowers or rake clippings after mowing.
Fertilizing and Pest Control
Fertilizers
An annual fertilizing program is important in the development of a lush, thick, green and healthy lawn.
- Begin feeding lawn with first mowing of year.
- Follow-up every 6-8 weeks as needed (approximately 4 times a year).
- Feed your lawn in late spring, early summer, and at the beginning and end of the fall season.
- Fertilizer may be applied using a rotary or drop spreader
