1. WATERING

All grass needs water to ensure good health and vibrancy. For a newly installed lawn follow the calendar below. Water evenly and slowly so that water penetrates the soil without running off. Avoid frequent light watering which will cause shallow rooting, and overwatering, which will prevent air from reaching the roots. Watering requirements will vary after establishment. Monitor your lawn and soil moisture to determine when it's time to water. Most lawns require about an inch of water every week, including rain.

Sod Watering & Mowing Guide

For freshly installed sod, follow the schedule below for the first 5 weeks.

2. MOWING

Proper mowing keeps turfgrass healthy and beautiful. Bluegrass should be mowed at a height of between 2-3" (5-8cm). Never remove more than 1/3 of the leaf height at once. Don't let grass grow so tall that it falls over. The taller the grass, the less dense the lawn and the higher chance of weed infestation. 

3. FERTILIZING

How much fertilizer your lawn needs depends on soil fertility and the growth you want. Always water-in the fertilizer to prevent burning. Never apply fertilizer to wet grass leaves, especially during extreme heat. Always follow the application instructions on the bag as too much fertilizer will damage your lawn.

4. MAINTENANCE

Compacted soil prevents water, air and nutrients from reaching turfgrass roots. Annual lawn aeration and topdressing will help rejuvenate your lawn for the growing season. Rake thoroughly to remove thatch, which prevents water from reaching the root zone. 

5. MONITORING

Grass is resilient. The best way to protect against wear and tear, weeds and insects is to maintain a thicks and healthy lawn. Give your lawn the attention it deserves. By monitoring your grass regularly you reduce the risk of weeds and pests taking root.
