Lawn Maintenance
-
Keep the turf moist for the first few weeks after installation, ensuring the soil beneath remains consistently damp. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth.
-
Wait until the turf has rooted firmly before mowing, typically around 2-3 weeks after installation. Set your mower blades to a height of around 2-3 inches to promote healthy growth and discourage weed development.
-
Apply a slow-release fertilizer specifically formulated for new turf about 6-8 weeks after installation to provide essential nutrients for growth. Follow manufacturer instructions for application rates.
-
Keep an eye out for weeds and promptly remove them by hand or use a selective herbicide labeled safe for use on newly laid turf. Avoid using herbicides until the turf is fully established.

Limit foot traffic and avoid placing heavy objects on newly turfed areas until the turf has fully rooted and established.

Regularly inspect your turf for signs of pests, disease, or other issues. Address any problems promptly to prevent them from spreading and causing damage.
