Call us for a quote on a new Sprinkler System
Preparing Soil
-
You’ll need at least 4-6 inches of topsoil for a healthy lawn
-
A good soil will contain about 1/3 each, sand, clay and compost
-
Kill the weeds with a post emergent herbicide, no pre-emergent herbicides
 Watering
-
Newly planted lawns need to be kept damp for the first ten days
-
Water good once a day for the next 10 to 14 days
-
After your first mowing, fertilize and water deeply twice a week
Transition From Cool to Warm Season Grass
-
Try not to fertilize until the soil temperature is 70 degrees or higher
-
At that time start watering once a day to encourage germination
-
Keep the winter grass cut short so the new seedlings can get sun
 Care & Maintenance
-
Cut your lawn short each spring and fertilize
-
Mow regularly enough so that you don’t cut more than 1/3 of the plants height off at any mowing
-
Keeping leaves, grass clipping removed and frequent mowing and fertilization will encourage a denser turf |
