CARING FOR SOD & NEWLY SEEDED LAWNS
Newly-laid sod or seed can produce a very attractive lawn if the proper cultural practices are followed. The appearance and success of your lawn depends largely upon the care given in the first 4-6 weeks. However, a new lawn cannot be forgotten after this time, and the proper maintenance programs should be followed. Here are some helpful tips to help you on your way.
SOD & SEED GENERAL CARE:
1) WATERING SOD: Preventing your new sod from drying out is the most important factor in rapid rooting and establishment. Always water early in the day if possible. Shallow, frequent waterings are undesirable. Thorough, less frequent waterings to a depth of 4-6 inches are much more desirable. Steep slopes, shady spots and sunny areas require special attention.
2) WATERING SEED: Once lawn is seeded, immediately water to a depth of 3-4 inches by continuous light watering that does not cause run-off. Daily watering is a must! The seed must not be allowed to dry out. After seed is well established daily sprinklings should give way to a normal watering schedule.
FERTILIZATION:
Your new sod or seed lawn should be planted with a starter fertilizer for quick establishment. This type of fertilizer will be used rapidly and should therefore be followed by a spring and fall fertilization program.
MOWING:
Mow new grass as soon as it is 3 inches tall. Be sure your mower blade is sharp. Set the mower to a height of 2 ½ inches. Continue mowing at this height for the remainder of the season and only remove 1/3 growth at a time.
WEED AND INSECT CONTROL:
Herbicides and insecticides are usually applied in the spring and fall with some controlled applications in the summer. Because of the varying situations and circumstances, it is practical to have a program designed specifically for your type of lawn. We will be happy to design a program for your lawn.
