• Proper watering is the best way to guarantee the germination of your lawn.  Seed or hydroseed must be kept moist, not too dry, not too wet.  If your seed becomes dry before germination it will die.  This may require more frequent watering in light doses after first installed.  Only apply water as fast as the ground will absorb.

• Never water your new lawn after two (2) hours before sunset, this will promote the growth of mold.

• Limit traffic on seed or hydroseed areas until germination.

• After three (3) to four (4) weeks your newly germinated grass should be ready for starter fertilizer.  We recommend a 19-19-19 product.

• After three (3) to four (4) weeks your grass should be at a good place to spot seed areas that seed may have been eroded away or didn’t germinate.

• After three (3) to four (4) weeks your newly germinated grass should be ready to mow.

• Always keep mower blades as sharp as possible.  Dull mower blades can rip new grass right out of the ground and cause serious damage to your new lawn.
