How to Make Sure Your New Yard Thrive

After investing in a new lawn, maintaining it is crucial to ensure its long-term health and beauty. Proper maintenance not only preserves your investment but also enhances your outdoor space. Here are some key tips to keep your new lawn in tip-top shape:

• Regular Watering: Adequate and consistent watering is essential, especially during the establishment phase.
• Proper Mowing: Maintain the correct grass height to encourage healthy growth and prevent stress on your lawn.

• Aeration: Periodic aeration ensures proper airflow and nutrient absorption in the soil.
• Disease and Pest Management: Keep an eye out for signs of disease or pest infestations and address them promptly.
• Overseeding: Periodic overseeding helps maintain a dense and resilient lawn.

By following these steps, you'll not only protect your new lawn investment but also enjoy a lush, thriving outdoor space for years to come.

Best Watering Practices for a New Grass

Unlike a typical watering schedule, new grass needs more frequent watering. Remember, rain can count as water if it is significant enough.

• Mist It – The first few days after seeding, mist your grass four times a day to keep the top ¼ inch of the seedbed moist without oversaturating.
• Water It – Then water every 3-4 days for 20-30 minutes
• Keep It Wet – It is important to keep the area from drying out to support germination. We recommend watering for 5-10 minutes on all in-between days.
• Don’t Over Water – Try not to let the newly seeded area puddle or wash away. Once the grass grows to be about 2 inches, you can resume longer, less frequent waterings.
