WATERING

• The turf mat & soil beneath must be kept moist until the ready lawn is rooted in, approx 14-21 days
• Immediately after installation, turf requires water using a sprinkler, NOT a hand held hose!
• Water over edges & corners  
• Irrigate at least once a day for two weeks (during summer) in the morning or evening
• Avoid excess watering

MOWING

• Mow your new ready lawn approx two weeks after laying during Spring / Summer or three weeks Autumn / Winter depending on grass growth
• Mow weekly on the mowers highest setting but never remove more than 1/3 of blade
• Use a catcher to avoid clippings decomposing & damaging your new lawn

FERTILISING

• Your ready lawn will require fertiliser after approximately 1 month
• You can apply Instant Turf Fertiliser mix @ $9 per bag + gst /50m2.  A policy of "little but often" will help maintain your lawn in peak condition
• Indicators your grass needs food, growth will slow & you may see loss of colour

WEEDS

• Most weeds, both grassy & broadleaf are best controlled during Autumn & Spring
