Watering and Care

After installation, we provide comprehensive instructions for proper watering and maintenance. This crucial step ensures the sod establishes strong roots, promoting long-term health and vitality.

Maintaining Your Lush Lawn: Tips and Tricks

Here are some expert tips and tricks to ensure your investment thrives:

Watering Guidelines

Establishment Phase (First 2 Weeks)

Frequency
Water daily for the first two weeks to promote root establishment.

Timing
Early morning is the best time to water, minimizing evaporation and allowing the grass to dry before evening.

Ongoing Maintenance (After 2 Weeks):

Frequency
Gradually reduce watering frequency. Aim for 1 inch of water per week, including rainfall.

Deep Watering
Water deeply to encourage deep root growth, typically 6-8 inches into the soil.

Mowing Best Practices

Height Matters
Set your mower at a height that allows the grass to remain about 2.5 to 3 inches tall. This promotes a healthy, drought-resistant lawn.

Avoid Scalping
Never remove more than one-third of the grass blade length in a single mowing session. Scalping can stress the grass and lead to uneven growth.

Keep Blades Sharp
Dull mower blades tear the grass, making it more susceptible to disease and stress. Sharpen blades regularly for a clean, precise cut.

Fertilizing for Optimal Health

Timing is Key
Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again in late summer or early fall. Avoid fertilizing during periods of drought or extreme heat.

Follow Recommendations
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application rates and timings. Over-fertilizing can lead to excessive growth and environmental issues.

Dealing with Pests and Diseases

Vigilance is Key
Regularly inspect your lawn for signs of pests or diseases. Early detection allows for prompt treatment.

Natural Solutions
Consider using organic pest control methods or beneficial insects to manage pests. Consult with a professional if you suspect a serious issue.

Seasonal Care

Aerate and Overseed (Fall)
Aeration promotes air and water circulation in the soil while overseeding fills in any bare spots for a lush, thick lawn.

Winter Preparations
Remove leaves and debris to prevent mold and disease. Avoid walking on frozen grass, as it can damage the blades.
