New Lawn Watering And Care Guide For A Healthy And Vibrant Lawn:

To ensure the health and longevity of your lawn, it's important to follow these science-based watering instructions:

1. Initial Watering: Immediately after installation (whether seeding or laying sod), water your lawn thoroughly. The goal is to moisten the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches. This will provide ample hydration to the newly laid sod or seeds and promote root establishment.

2. First Two Weeks: Water your lawn every day before 9:00 a.m. Split the watering into two sessions: 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the late afternoon. This frequent watering schedule helps to keep the soil consistently moist, allowing the sod to settle and root effectively, and the seeds to germinate and establish roots.

3. After Two Weeks: Reduce the frequency of watering to once a day. Choose either the morning or evening watering session, maintaining a duration of 30 minutes. This adjusted schedule supports the development of deeper root systems and encourages the grass to become more resilient against drought conditions.

4. Deep and Infrequent Watering: Remember to water deeply and infrequently. This means providing enough water to penetrate the soil to a significant depth, rather than shallow watering that only wets the surface. Deep watering promotes downward root growth, enhancing the overall strength and vigor of your lawn.

5. Optimal Watering Times: Avoid watering during the hottest part of the day, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. High temperatures and intense sunlight can cause rapid evaporation, preventing the water from reaching the roots effectively. Watering in the early morning or late afternoon helps to minimize water loss and maximize absorption.

6. Adjust for Weather Conditions: Stay mindful of weather conditions and adjust your watering schedule accordingly. During hot and dry periods, your lawn may require more frequent watering to compensate for increased water evaporation.Conversely, during cooler and rainy periods, you can reduce watering to avoid over-saturation.

7. Recommended Lawn Care Plan:

• Fertilization and Weed Control: Begin after the first two mowings. Fertilization: Use a balanced lawn fertilizer to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth.
• Weed Control: Apply a selective herbicide to target and eliminate weeds without harming the grass.
